Cempaka Culture and Tourism: Jakarta glee as ex-student rises to top of the class

“… 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. …”

Jakarta glee as ex-student rises to top of the class

THE Star-Spangled Banner rang out from Barack Obama's old primary school in central Jakarta yesterday as the US President's former classmates celebrated his inauguration.

About 250 students from Fransiskus Asisi Catholic school, which a young Barack Obama attended during his four years in Indonesia through to mid-1971, stayed up until midnight on Tuesday to watch the inauguration speech on a big screen in their school hall.

At a Friends of Obama ball at the Ritz Carlton, an audio message from his Indonesian half-sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, was played to the audience, while a letter from Mr Obama to Indonesia was read out by a friend.

"My childhood years in Jakarta provided me with many lessons and memories that I carry with me to this day," the letter said. "I have heard through my sister Maya that many of you have expressed support for the change that has come and for that, I am grateful."

At Jalan Besuki school yesterday, old photos of Barack Obama as a third grader were displayed along with posters of a map, depicting his move from the small street in Menteng to Pennsylvania Avenue.

"We are just so proud that someone from our class could become president of the United States and deliver such a great speech," former classmate Deby Sadrach told The Age.

"This school was part of his extraordinary development," said another, Dewi Asmara Oetojo, now an MP in Indonesia's parliament.

The US ambassador to Indonesia, Cameron Hume, said at the event that he expected Mr Obama would visit the country this year, though there were no firm plans. There had been some speculation that Jakarta might be on the President's agenda for the first 100 days of his presidency after his aides said in December that he planned to make a major foreign policy speech in an Islamic capital.

But Jakarta is competing with the likes of Cairo, Baghdad and Islamabad, which commentators say are closer to the action.

"Obviously he has a history (in Indonesia) and a degree of familiarity with and affection for the country," said Indonesia analyst Damien Kingsbury, from the School of International Political Studies at Deakin University, "but strategically he would be better off going to the Middle East."

John Virgoe from the International Crisis Group in Jakarta said a visit to Indonesia "would be a powerful message that America recognises that the Muslim world is more than just a series of dictatorships and conflicts in the Middle East".

About 100 people marched to the embassy in Jakarta yesterday to hand over a letter urging Mr Obama to close down Guantanamo Bay.
