“… 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. …”

SBY eyes 6.6% average annual growth rate

Indonesia’s economy may grow by an average annual rate of 6.6 percent over the next five years and reach 7 percent by the end of 2014, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said at the opening of the first trading day in 2010 of the Indonesia Stock Exchange.

In his second five-year term Yudhoyono plans by 2014 to have the unemployment rate fall to between 5 and 6 percent from 8 percent currently, and to reduce the poverty rate to between 8 and 10 percent from 14.2 percent.

Yudhoyono said the Indonesian economy showed all the favorable conditions required to attain 7 percent growth by 2014 as long as there was economic and political stability.

A key contributing factor to economic stability, he said, was to have strong foreign currency reserves.

“We now have only US$65 billion [in foreign currency reserves]. This must be increased in line with our volume of trading,” Yudhoyono said, announcing a target of US$100 billion for currency reserves by 2014.

Yudhoyono also lauded the performance of the IDX in 2009, which had emerged as the second best performer in Asia with a growth of 86.98 percent.

“I really thank and appreciate all the parties who have been working hard last year,” Yudhoyono said, following which he pressed the button to start this year’s trading.

The IDX is expected to be among the markets that will remain bullish this year due to the country’s strong economic fundamentals at a time when many economies are still suffering from recession.

The IDX closed the day with a rise of 41.06 points or 1.6 percent to stand at 2,575.41, the steepest increase since Nov.16, Bloomberg reported.

Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati said that stock market positive performance was achieved due to the government’s responsive actions to cushion the impacts of the global economic downturn.

Mulyani said the government’s measures in handling the crisis last year had succeeded in maintaining market confidence.

“As a result, we experienced a stable economy in 2009 which placed Indonesia as one of the very few countries in the world which were able to post positive growth despite the [global] crisis,” she said.

Indonesian economic conditions are stabilizing after the market collapse and turbulence as a result of the global financial crisis, which reached its peak by the end of 2008. The inflation rate in 2009 reached 2.78 percent year-on-year in December, the lowest inflation rate in a decade, while the rupiah remained stable at between Rp 9,400 and Rp 9,600 to the US dollar.

Low inflation may give the BI room to keep its benchmark interest rate at a record-low 6.5 percent when policy makers meet on Wednesday.

Chatib Basri, an adviser to the finance minister said the inflation rate was likely to reach 6 to 7 percent in 2010 assuming the rupiah remained stable at 9,800 to the dollar.

The economy would receive a boost from the expected rebound in exports which were expected to recover from a 15 percent fall in 2009 by the middle of the year, he said.

“Exports have begun to recover but still at a slow pace. The global economic crisis has eased but it will take time to impact on investment and export rates,” Chatib said.

Unlike exports, the investment rate has already regained ground and demonstrated positive growth.

“Investment is already going up, albeit slowly,” he said.
