Cempaka Culture and Tourism: Batik`s recognition as world heritage expected in 2009

“… 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. …”

Batik`s recognition as world heritage expected in 2009

Nusa Dua, Bali (ANTARA News) - Indonesia is hoping the United Nations agency for cultural affairs UNESCO will have named its Batik cloth as a world heritage by September, 2009, a culture ministry official said.

"We are optimistic about this since we have met all the requirements, not to mention the support from other countries," I Gusti Nyoman Widja, director of traditions at the tourism and culture ministry, said here Thursday.

Speaking at a seminar themed "Protection and Development of Traditional Knowledge and the Expression of Traditional Culture" in Nusa Dua, Widja said recognition as a world heritage would enhance the image of batik as well of Indonesia as its country of origin.

Then, he said, UNESCO would provide funds for its preservation and it would also be safe from other countries` claims.

According to Widja, the Indonesian government submitted its proposal to recognize batik as a world heritage to UNESCO in September, 2008. The process thereafter went well as there were no objections from countries like Brunei Drausslam or Malaysia during a UNESCO meeting to discuss the proposal.

The discussions in UNESCO, he said, were expected to run for a year and Indonesia should therefore know the result by September 2009.

Batik would be the third cultural product from Indonesia named a World Intangible Heritage after the Wayang (raditional puppets used in narration-supported shadow plays) and the Keris (ceremonial dagger).

UNESCO had certified Wayang as a "Masterpiece of Oral and intangible Heritage of Hunanity" in November 2003 and given a similar status to the Keris in November 2005.
