“… 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. …”

Associated Press newsman who founded Jakarta bureau, covered Suharto dies at 65

By Associated Press, April 10, 2010 | 11:43 p.m.

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Ghafur Fadyl, a journalist who covered Indonesian dictator Suharto's time in power and founded the Associated Press' Jakarta bureau, has died. He was 65.

Ghafur died Saturday at a Jakarta hospital after years of treatment for cancer and kidney failure, said his wife, Farida Fadyl, on Sunday.

Ghafur joined the AP in 1966, the year after Suharto came to power in a bloody coup, and he oversaw coverage of most of the dictator's brutal 32-year government. He covered rebellions in Papua, Aceh and East Timor that saw hundreds of thousands killed.

In 1997, he was named the Jakarta bureau's sales and marketing manger and was instrumental in expanding AP's business in the country.

Even after his move to the business side, colleagues said he remained an informed newsman who could be counted on to deliver his views with humor and humanity.

"At a time of great upheaval in Indonesian history, I knew I could always call Ghafur or walk into his office to soak up his institutional knowledge and broad perspective on fast-moving and often opaque events," said Chris Torchia, AP's former news editor in Jakarta who covered the country in the late 1990s.

Ghafur retired in 2007 after 41 years with AP.

He is survived by his wife, two sons, a daughter and a grandson.

"Ghafur was a class act. His kindness, good humor and keen intellect will be sorely missed, as will his friendship," said Steve Gutkin, AP's former Jakarta bureau chief.
