“… 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. …”

Asian twist to meet techno show at beach games start

Niken Prathivi, The Jakarta Post

Four Asian pop stars and 1,700 Balinese dancers will perform under lights and sophisticated visual performances at the first Asian Beach Games opening ceremony at Garuda Wisnu Kencana cultural park in Bukit Ungasan, Jimbaran, on Saturday.

President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono will open the Games. Indonesian Olympian sprinter Suryo Agung Wibowo, shuttler Taufik Hidayat and sailing athlete I Gusti Made Oka Sulaksana will be the stars of the evening.

The three will be the last torch bearers to run around the venue, with native Balinese Oka given the honor of lighting the cauldron to mark the start to the 10-day Games.

Indian Mark Lazaro, Filipino idol Christian Bautista and Indonesian singer-songwriter Andre Hehanusa will share the stage to sing "To Be One," which was composed by Indonesian Budi Prasetyo.

Meanwhile, Indonesian diva Reza Artamevia will sing the Games' anthem "Inspire the World", which was written by well-known composer Dwiki Darmawan. The title of the song is taken from the Games' slogan.

All dancing performances at the ceremony were choreographed by prominent dancers Sentot Sudiarto and Boi G. Sakti.

The ceremony director, Erick J. Turangan, on Friday said the ceremony would be different and "a lot more exotic" than ceremonies held at world-class sporting events like the Olympics.

Erick said the choice of venue, Garuda Wisnu Kencana, was perfect for the Games and would show to the world how unique Bali is.

"What makes this opening ceremony different from the Olympics, for example, is that we did not choose a stadium as the venue, unlike other sporting events," he added.

Garuda Wisnu Kencana is located 20 kilometers north of downtown Kuta.

Over 1,500 very important guests, such International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge, Olympic Council of Asia President Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahad Al-Sabah, Lebanese President Michel Sleiman and Jordan's Prince Faisal bin Al Hussein, will attend the ceremony. Four thousand invitees, mostly from the Olympics Council of Asia members, will also be present.

The main event, which will start at 8 p.m. local time, will also be live broadcasted by local Trans7 television station, and relayed by ANTV and state-owned TVRI.
