“… 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. …”

Permanent exhibit honors Djelantik

I Wayan Juniartha, The Jakarta Post, Ubud

Ubud's Agung Rai Museum of Arts (ARMA) unveiled Wednesday evening a special room and permanent exhibition dedicated to the late AA Made Djelantik, a Balinese prince whose tireless works in both the medical and arts fields made him one of the island's most influential and beloved figures.

Named simply the "Dr. AA Made Djelantik Room", it hosts a permanent exhibition of Djelantik's watercolor paintings and several personal belongings, including the Sekar Gading, an heirloom kris, and his violin.

Noted collector Sutedja Neka, who praised Djelantik as "a great man of our time", officially opened the room in a modest ceremony attended by several important individuals, including Horst Jordt of the German Walter Spies Society, Nyoman Gunarsa and Djelantik's daughters, Bulantrisna and Surya.

The owner of ARMA, Agung Rai, said the room and permanent exhibition was the result of a collaborative effort between ARMA, the German Walter Spies Society and Djelantik's family.

"It is our homage to the man, who had made such a huge and selfless contribution to the development of arts on this island. We are forever indebted to the late Dr. AA Made Djelantik," he said.

The room lies next to the ARMA's Walter Spies room. Djelantik was the founder of the Walter Spies Foundation Bali and was the honorary president of the German Walter Spies Society.

In his touching speech, Horst Jordt described Djelantik as "one of the most unusual personalities in Bali".

"Highly educated and cosmopolitan, incredibly curious and well-versed in several languages ... he was deeply rooted to his culture and incorruptible in his principles," he said.

Born into the royal family of Karangasem, Djelantik was educated at the University of Amsterdam. In the late 1940s, the young doctor was posted at some of Indonesia's remotest regions.

He later played a pivotal role in the establishment of the medical faculty at Udayana University as well as the Sanglah Central Hospital.

From 1968 to 1980, the World Health Organization employed him to battle malaria in its projects in Somalia, Nepal, Iraq and Afghanistan.

In his later years, his passion for art made him one of the most respected figures among Balinese artists. He co-founded the Indonesian Dance Academy in Denpasar and his books -- Balinese Paintings (1996) and Estetika (1998) -- are still considered among the most lucid depictions of Bali's traditional fine and performing arts.

He passed away on Sept. 5, 2007, at the age of 88.

"The family is deeply touched by this homage. We truly appreciate this genuine, sincere expression of affection toward our beloved father," Bulantrisna said of the exhibit.
