"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. …

Up to 10 women in Cabinet would be enough: SBY

The President said he hopes for more women in the Cabinet, adding that they were often “more reliable”.

“We now have five women out of 34 ministers in the Cabinet. The ratio is of course still far from enough, so in the future I hope there will be six, seven… and even 10 female ministers; then we will consider it enough,” President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said Monday.

For the first time, state oil company Pertamina is headed by a woman, Karen Agustiawan, “and now many ambassadors and business leaders are women,” he added, addressing the commemoration of the 10th anniversary of the National Commission on Violence against Women.

Since Sunday the Commission held a two-day event on the issue, in conjunction with the international 16 days of action against women, from Nov. 25 to Dec. 10, which is International Human Rights Day.

The President cited how women were less corrupt then men, the reason why the government is prioritizing women as recipients of its Rp 100 trillion (US$10.6 billion) soft loan program.

“We have prepared Rp 100 trillion for soft loans, and will prioritize the funds to be managed by women. Women rarely fail, don’t easily waste money, and are seldom involved in corrupt practices,” he said.

The President cited the example of the soft loan program initiated by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus in Bangladesh where 97 percent of the funds were disbursed to women.

He added the government’s missions for the country’s women were aimed at “protecting, promoting and empowering” them.

Meanwhile, Commission chairwoman Kamala Chandrakirana urged the government to take “special measures” to support and empower female victims of violence.She also called for the revocation of regulations “bracing stigmas against and violating rights of women”.

Activists have criticized all regional regulations deemed to discriminate against women including those in the Aceh province, which is authorized to issue Islamic sharia laws.

The commission “hopes the government will build a legal system that provides justice for women and is sensitive to their problems… and that the government will improve its capacity in implementing the 1984 Law on the Ratification of Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women,” Kamala said.

The anniversary was also attended by former president B. J. Habibie, who established the commission during his brief term in 1999.

Benny K. Harman, head of the House of Representatives’ Commission III, which oversees law, rights and security issues, said it would involve the women’s commission more often to ensure women’s voices were heard in the legislative process.

Among other testimonies from women, a member of the minority Ahmadiyah school of Islam in Kuningan, West Java, Uminah said tearfully that all they wanted was legal recognition of their marriages.

“We have to find authorities willing to legalize our marriages when we are not even entitled to identity cards unless we renounce our faith.”
