“… 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. …”

Indonesia Tourism Will Get Obama Boost, Minister Says

Although he left as an little boy, Barack Obama’s much-heralded return to Indonesia as US president in March will be a boon for the country’s tourism industry, according to Tourism Minister Jero Wacik.

“If he comes to Indonesia, people will think that the country is safe and they will come here,” he was quoted as saying late on Tuesday by tempointeraktif.com.

The nation’s tourism figures have been slowly creeping upward — there were 6.45 million foreign visitors in 2009, an increase of 0.8 percent from 2008 — mostly thanks to visitors to Bali.

However, the tourism sector still pales in comparison to neighbors such as Malaysia, which had more than 23 million visitors last year.

Sapta Nirwandar, head of marketing at the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, said Obama’s visit would generate positive media coverage given that he is the world’s most-recognized leader.

“He has an historical background with Indonesia and his visit will bring positive impacts to businesses and tourism,” he said. “Media from all over the world will be focusing on our country and we should take this chance to improve our image. We should show them that Indonesia is and safe.”

During his state visit, Obama and President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono will formally launch the US-Indonesia Comprehensive Partnership, an initiative by which the nations will broaden and strengthen relations to tackle regional and global issues.

Obama, who lived in Jakarta for almost four years as a child, will be accompanied by first lady Michelle Obama and their daughters Malia and Sasha.

The National Police Intelligence Directorate said on Wednesday that domestic security for the Obama visit would be handled by the Indonesian Armed Forces (TNI), with back up by the police.

“For VVIP security I will not talk much. But clearly the operation to secure President Obama is the main responsibility of the Army,” intelligence chief Insp. Gen. Saleh Saaf told reporters.

He said a special operation, called wastikia, is commonly put into action for important foreign visitors. “The same operation was also held when former US President George W. Bush came here [in 2006],” he said.

Asked about coordination with the US Secret Service, which protects American presidents, Saaf said, “we have cooperation between officials and their security. There must be coordination with them.”
