"The Recalibration of Awareness – Apr 20/21, 2012 (Kryon channeled by Lee Carroll) (Subjects: Old Energy, Recalibration Lectures, God / Creator, Religions/Spiritual systems (Catholic Church, Priests/Nun’s, Worship, John Paul Pope, Women in the Church otherwise church will go, Current Pope won’t do it), Middle East, Jews, Governments will change (Internet, Media, Democracies, Dictators, North Korea, Nations voted at once), Integrity (Businesses, Tobacco Companies, Bankers/ Financial Institutes, Pharmaceutical company to collapse), Illuminati (Started in Greece, with Shipping, Financial markets, Stock markets, Pharmaceutical money (fund to build Africa, to develop)), Shift of Human Consciousness, (Old) Souls, Women, Masters to/already come back, Global Unity.... etc.) - (Text version)

… 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. …

Islam forged from three characteristics : Idul Adha preacer

Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Islam was forged from three characteristics, namely egalitarianism, love for scientific pursuits and simple living, and progressiveness, a preacher at an Idul Adha service here said.

In in his sermon to a congregation of thousands who included President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and Vice President Boediono at the Istiqlal Grand Mosque in central Jakarta, Prof Ridwan Lubis of the Hidayatullah State Islamic Univeristy, said Islam treated all its adherents equally regardless of their race, descent , wealth or power in society.

"The only thing that differentiates one Moslem from the other is his or her devotion to Allah," said Ridwan, adding that egalitarianism was perceptible in all aspects of Islamic life and most of all in the hajj pilgrimage.

Islam was also a religion that encourages its followers to love knowledge and science. "If before Islam came, society often lived in ways contrary to science, Islam entered people`s lives in a pro-knowledge and pro-science spirit," he said.

Islam, he added, also promoted the belief that all human actions should be accountable before God and that knowledge must not be detached from the values of religion.

The third thing characterizing Islam was progressiveness which Islam had been promoting in human life for the past 600 years.

"Islam introduced a new concept of development. Since 600 years ago the religion has contributed many instances of progress to human life," he said.

The Idul Adha service at the Istiqlal Mosque on Friday was led by Istiqlal Imam (prayer leader) Hasanuddin Sinaga while Ridwan Lubis, professor of the Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University (UIN), acted as preacher.

Cabinet ministers who also attended the Idul Adha service included Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Hatta Radjasa, Education Minister M Nuh, Maritime and Fisheries Minister Fadel Muhammad, and Cooperatives, Small and Medium Enterprises Minister Syarif Hasan.

A number of foreign ambassadors also took part in the Idul Adha service along with thousands of other Muslims from Jakarta and environs.
