Cempaka Culture and Tourism: Historical bridge ready to charm

“… The Shift in Human Nature

You're starting to see integrity change. Awareness recalibrates integrity, and the Human Being who would sit there and take advantage of another Human Being in an old energy would never do it in a new energy. The reason? It will become intuitive, so this is a shift in Human Nature as well, for in the past you have assumed that people take advantage of people first and integrity comes later. That's just ordinary Human nature.

In the past, Human nature expressed within governments worked like this: If you were stronger than the other one, you simply conquered them. If you were strong, it was an invitation to conquer. If you were weak, it was an invitation to be conquered. No one even thought about it. It was the way of things. The bigger you could have your armies, the better they would do when you sent them out to conquer. That's not how you think today. Did you notice?

Any country that thinks this way today will not survive, for humanity has discovered that the world goes far better by putting things together instead of tearing them apart. The new energy puts the weak and strong together in ways that make sense and that have integrity. Take a look at what happened to some of the businesses in this great land (USA). Up to 30 years ago, when you started realizing some of them didn't have integrity, you eliminated them. What happened to the tobacco companies when you realized they were knowingly addicting your children? Today, they still sell their products to less-aware countries, but that will also change.

What did you do a few years ago when you realized that your bankers were actually selling you homes that they knew you couldn't pay for later? They were walking away, smiling greedily, not thinking about the heartbreak that was to follow when a life's dream would be lost. Dear American, you are in a recession. However, this is like when you prune a tree and cut back the branches. When the tree grows back, you've got control and the branches will grow bigger and stronger than they were before, without the greed factor. Then, if you don't like the way it grows back, you'll prune it again! I tell you this because awareness is now in control of big money. It's right before your eyes, what you're doing. But fear often rules. …”

Historical bridge ready to charm

The Jakarta Post

While officials had not yet announced the reopening of Kota Intan Bridge in the Old City, many tourists have come to the site to have a look and take pictures.

Security guard Agus Sudarmanto said around 20 local and foreign tourists had been coming to the site daily since last month's renovation.

"They come here to learn about the bridge's history."

Most of the visitors came as part of a school field trip or accompanied by a tour guide, he said.

Visitors have to ask for a letter from the Jakarta History Museum to visit as the bridge isn't officially open, according to Agus.

"We can't let people in who don't have a letter", said the guard, adding that he was sorry to see some visitors littering and defacing walls.

Abdul, a chicken porridge vendor, said the stream of visitors wasn't helping him too much.

"Only school kids buy porridge."

Kota Intan, formerly known as Engelse Brug, was built by the Dutch in 1628 as a gateway for ships entering the capital from Kali Besar and Kali Jelangkeng.

The name was changed to Pasar Ayam Bridge in 1630 and then Juliana Bridge in 1936.

Known as Kota Intan since 1945, the bridge is one of the popular historical sites in West Jakarta's Old City.

Other sites include Fatahillah Square, Glodok, Sunda Kelapa Port, Syahbandar Tower, the Maritime Museum and the Puppet Museum. (ewd)
