Cempaka Culture and Tourism: Textile Museum desires more collections

“… 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. …”

Textile Museum desires more collections

Triwik Kurniasari, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Thu, 01/15/2009 1:01 PM

Emma Agus Bisri, head of Sirih Nanas Foundation, felt relief after she handed over pieces from her Betawi collection to the Textile Museum in Tanah Abang, Central Jakarta.

The foundation, which specializes in education and preserving Betawi culture, donated four old batik cloths and four sarongs, a kebaya encim (traditional Betawi blouse) called Karancang Betawi and a set of red crystal betel pots.

“It’s about preserving Betawi culture. I hope that visitors, especially art lovers, will enjoy their beauty,” Emma told The Jakarta Post, adding that she had inherited these artifacts from her ancestors.

Besides Emma, two other foundation members, Hamidah Thamsir and Maharani Kemal, each donated one sarong.

Emma said all collectibles are between 75 and 100 years old, each of them having a different pattern.

One of the batiks reportedly belonged to a Dutch batik painter, Van Zuylen, and dates back to the 1920s to the 1930s.

“I hope this [the collection] will encourage other Betawi cloth collectors to donate to the museum,” she said.

Built in the 19th century and formerly a French private residence the museum is located on Jl. KS Tubun. It has about 1,800 cloth pieces from around the archipelago. Most of them are batik.

Judi Knight-Achjadi, an honorary curator at the museum, also encourages donations. She has given dozens of woven cloth and sarongs to the museum. Head of the museum, Dyah Damayanti, welcomes this.

“We only had seven Betawi cloths before members of Sirih Nanas Foundation gave us their pieces,” Dyah said.

“I hope more collectors will come forward with donations. You don’t need to worry because we will take good care of the cloth. We have a laboratory which examines the artifacts’ condition.”
