“… 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. …”

Solo Royals Calls For Special Status

Jakarta Globe, Candra Malik

Keraton Surakarta

Solo. With controversy still raging around the bill to extend the special status of Yogyakarta, rival central Javanese city Solo wants to get in on the act.

The royal family of the Surakarta Hadiningrat court in Solo has asked the government to return the status of special province to the city, which is also known as Surakarta.

They argued that on Aug. 19, 1945, President Sukarno declared Solo the Special Region of Surakarta, following a meeting of the Indonesian Independence Preparation Committee.

“We ask that President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono return the status as promised by his predecessor,” Gusti Raden Ayu Koesmurtiyah said on Sunday during the commemoration of the 273rd anniversary of the founding of Surakarta, according to the Javanese calendar.

Koesmurtiyah said Sukarno had established Surakarta as a special territory in gratitude for the support for Indonesian independence from the kings of Solo.

However, Sudharmono, a historian from Sebelas Maret University in Solo, said the special status had been revoked on Jun. 16, 1946 a campaign to dismantle the Solo and Mangkunegaran courts.

From October 1945, Tan Malaka, suspected to be chair of the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI), led a movement to annul Surakarta’s special territory status and dissolve the Surakarta and Mangkunegaran courts. Malaka was allegedly involved in the confiscation of royal farmlands and the murder of several government officials and royal family members. The movement led to the 1948 PKI uprising in Madiun, East Java, which borders Sragen, Central Java, part of Solo’s territory.

“Not equipped with military and police forces, the central government issued the 1946 presidential decree No. 16 on government of the special territory of Surakarta and Yogyakarta, temporarily taking over control of Surakarta until the law on the special status of Solo had been passed. If the bill on the special status of Yogyakarta is being deliberated now, we demand that the promise to make Surakarta a special territory is also upheld,” Koesmurtiyah said.

Julianto Ibrahim, a history expert at Gadjah Mada University, said the archives were still available and could be tracked down.

He said it was not appropriate for Solo to remain a common city and for the Surakarta royal court to be considered merely as a traditional entity without legal recognition or powers.

“Surakarta’s status as a special territory is a forgotten part of the nation’s history,” he said, especially as Surakarta’s declaration of special territorial status was made on Sep. 1, 1945, before Yogyakarta’s declaration on Sept. 5, 1945.

Imam Samroni, chair of the Surakarta Special Status Reinstatement Preparation Agency, said that in 350 years of Dutch rule in Indonesia, Solo had never been occupied.

“The Dutch colonial government honored Surakarta’s status as Zelfbesturande Landschappen, or non-occupied territory, so there was no ban on raising the red and white flag or the rice and cotton herald,” he said.
