Cempaka Culture and Tourism: Ethnic Dayak tribesmen no longer "primitive": governor

"The Recalibration of Awareness – Apr 20/21, 2012 (Kryon channeled by Lee Carroll) (Subjects: Old Energy, Recalibration Lectures, God / Creator, Religions/Spiritual systems (Catholic Church, Priests/Nun’s, Worship, John Paul Pope, Women in the Church otherwise church will go, Current Pope won’t do it), Middle East, Jews, Governments will change (Internet, Media, Democracies, Dictators, North Korea, Nations voted at once), Integrity (Businesses, Tobacco Companies, Bankers/ Financial Institutes, Pharmaceutical company to collapse), Illuminati (Started in Greece, with Shipping, Financial markets, Stock markets, Pharmaceutical money (fund to build Africa, to develop)), Shift of Human Consciousness, (Old) Souls, Women, Masters to/already come back, Global Unity.... etc.) - (Text version)

“… 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. …”

Ethnic Dayak tribesmen no longer "primitive": governor

Antara News, Thursday, May 20, 2010 20:50 WIB

Pontianak, West Kalimantan (ANTARA News) - Ethnic Dayak tribesmen are longer "primitive" so that people from outside West Kalimantan can now visit the province without fear, the region`s governor said.

"We, Dayak people, must keep high our image because we are no longer primitive as we used to be called in the past," West Kalimantan Governor Cornelis, an indigenous Dayak himself, said on the sidelines of the 25th Silver Gawai Dayak Week in Pontianak on Thursday.

Cornelis said the primitive label that was once attached to Dayak tribes had slowly worn off with the passage of time.

"Many Dayak people now are educated and have even reached high positions in society like me who has become governor," he said.

Cornelis also urged Dayak people to control themselves after they had consumed alcohol.

"When you get drunk, don`t make trouble but go to sleep," he said.

Dayaks must maintain their ethnic cultural characteristics that are easily recognized by the public, such as their dances, typical cuisine, and handicraft articles.

"It is enough to promote just one of our cultural characteristics to attract tourists," he said.

Meanwhile, a Dayak community leader, Adrinus Gidot Asia, said there were about 350 Dayak sub-tribes in West Kalimantan province and a spirit of togetherness needed to be cultivated among them to preserve their ethnic identity amid the progress of time.

"The traditions of our ancestors has already begun to fade by time. Therefore, let`s maintain our traditional ancestry and culture," he said.

On the matter of Dayak culture that was beginning to fade away, Governor Cornelis said "We are obliged to preserve our ethnic culture for future generations."

He said, in Indonesia today, no ethnic or traditional culture could ever be marginalized again as in the past.
