“… 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. …”

Suropati park music club gets MURI award

The Jakarta Post | Sun, 05/09/2010 10:48 AM

Jaya Suprana from the Indonesian Museum of Records (MURI) on Saturday presented a certificate to the Taman Suropati Chamber, a music community with a special focus on Indonesian national and folk songs, for being “the first park-music community in Indonesia”.

“Musicians playing music at parks are common throughout the world. But I’ve never seen a community emerging and growing in a park like this,” Jaya said during a ceremony in the park that was attended by Jakarta Governor Fauzi Bowo.

Ages Dwi Harso, head of the Taman Suropati Chamber, said he hoped the award would stimulate all members to develop their creativity.

“This award also proves that our efforts are good and need to be expanded further,” he said, referring to the activities of his group, which was established in 2007.

Ages added that the group’s consistency in playing Indonesian national and folk songs was aimed at reviving activities in schools that used to be common in the past.

“These songs can contribute to character building among the youth. Today, however, many children don’t know these songs,” he said.

Ages hoped his chamber could be a pilot project for similar music communities in other parks throughout the city.

The group currently has around 120 members, with 50 to 60 active members rehearsing every Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the park. The members come from various backgrounds, with children and teenagers making up 80 percent of the group.

Kirana Michiko Irwanda, a third grader at Az-Zahra Islamic Elementary School in West Jakarta said that learning music in the park was fun. “I also love playing music here because the park is cool,” said Michiko, who joined the chamber in July last year.

“It has a special atmosphere, different from the ambience at other music schools,” said Michiko’s mother, Yenny Setianza, who, along with Setiadara Don, Michiko’s grandmother, is also a member.

Yenny added the long rehearsals and informal atmosphere enabled members to interact intensively.

“We feel a kindred spirit with fellow members,” she said.

Yenny said members paid Rp 150,000 per month, which she said was much cheaper than monthly fees at other music schools. (lnd)
