Cempaka Culture and Tourism: Foreign tourist protests signatures on Fort Marlborough Wall

“… 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. …”

Bengkulu (ANTARA News) - A foreign tourist visiting Benkulu`s historical Marlborough Fort has protested the appearance of plaques on the fort`s front wall showing the signatures of Miss Universe 2007, Riyo Mori, and Bengkulu Governor Agusrin Maryono Najamudin.

The two signatures` inscription into the fort`s wall was reducing the fort`s historical value as their owners had nothing to do with the fort`s history, said British tourist Loreen Neville D when visiting the ancient building here on Monday.

"It would be different if , for instance, there was a plaque with the signature of Indonesia`s first president, Soekarno, because Soekarno was once imprisoned in the fort during the Dutch colonial era," she said.

Miss Mori and Governor Agusrin were irrelevant to the fort`s historical significance and their signatures had better be removed from the fort`s entrance, Neville said.

"I will send a letter to President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono about it, and ask the Bengkulu government to remove the non-historical signatures," she said.

As a British tourist, Neville said, she was very disappointed to see the inscriptions at the fort`s entrance because they lessened the fort`s historical value.

She said she had come to Bengkulu with her friends from Singapore with the specific purpose of visiting Fort Marlborough but was shocked and disappointed after seeing the plaques with Miss Universe`s and the governor`s signatures.

Meanwhile, the head of Bengkulu province`s culture and tourism office , Agus Stiyanto, expressed appreciation for Neville`s criticism because, he said, it showed a genuine concern about the fort`s existence and the need to preserve its originality.

The criticism and protest should actually have come from the Jambi provincial tourism office which was responsible for the maintenance of cultural objects in the southern parts of Sumatra, he said.

But now, a foreigner had made the remarks intended to maintain the cultural authenticity of a historical object in a southern part of Sumatra, he added.

"We hope that Ms Neville can bring more of her friends in Singapore on a regular basis to Bengkulu to witness objects dating back to the British presence in the region centuries ago," he said.
