Cempaka Culture and Tourism: Ministry launches children's books on Indonesian culture

“… 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. …”

Ministry launches children's books on Indonesian culture

The Jakarta Post , Jakarta, Thu, 02/28/2008 11:29 AM, City

Two series of children's books about Indonesian culture and sites are now available in bookstores, taking their place alongside translated Japanese comic books and the Harry Potter series.

"We produced the books to give Indonesian children a source where they can learn about their own culture," the writer Aylawati Sarwono said Wednesday during the book launch, at the Culture and Tourism Ministry in Gambir, Central Jakarta.

"We want to improve younger people's awareness and love of our nation's culture," said Aylawati, who is also the director of the Jaya Suprana Institute (JSI).

The two series are Pustaka (literature) and Wisata (travel).

Produced by the Jaya Suprana Institute and Gramedia's Elex Media Komputindo publishing company, each of the two series contains nine books.

The last three books from each series have yet to be published.

The Pustaka series cover Indonesia's cultural treasures, such a batik, angklung (traditional bamboo musical instrument) and jamu (traditional herbal concoctions). The Wisata series introduces some of the country's remarkable sites, like Borobudur, Tana Toraja and Komodo National Park.

The JSI has donated copies of the two series to 100 elementary schools and mobile libraries in Jakarta.

Margaretha Ita Wenehen, a teacher at St. Theresia elementary school in Central Jakarta, said her students would find the books attractive.

"The way the knowledge is presented in simple language through comic stories will definitely attract my students," she said.

Ita said in her experience as an educator, children continued to be interested in reading.

She said finding affordable books was the main problem for parents and schools in providing children with good books.

"The government should make more of an effort to give children across the archipelago access to good educational books," she said. (JP/dre)
