“… 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. …”

Dutch Occupation is a Story of Resistance, Not Colonization: Historian

Jakarta Globe

The common idea that the Dutch colonized Indonesia for 350 years is wrong, according to University of Indonesia Professor Taufik Abdullah.

“This nation has been drowned in the myth that Indonesia was colonized for 350 years by the Dutch. It does not corroborate with the facts. What really happened was the Dutch needed more than 300 years to conquer some areas in the Dutch Indies,” said Taufik at a seminar in Medan, North Sumatra on Tuesday, as quoted by TV One.

The Dutch first set foot in Indonesia in the 16th century, arriving in Banten harbor and led by Cornelius De Houtman, Taufik said. Rule by the Netherlands ended in 1942 when the Japanese conquered the Dutch East Indies.

“It is illogical to say that the Dutch conquered Indonesia as soon as they arrived in Banten,” Taufik said.

He argued that the focus on Dutch colonization tends to devalue Indonesia's own history of great kings and kingdoms, especially the powerful rulers of the 17th century.

During that era, Sultan Iskandar Muda of the Aceh Kingdom (1607-1636) expanded his reign to the whole west coast of Sumatra. Sultan Agung of the Mataram Kingdom (1613-1645) reigned over all of Java island except Banten and Batavia (Jakarta). These and other local leaders fought Dutch, Spanish and Portuguese forces.
