“… 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. …”

Lawmaker wants more Indonesian women in UN peacekeeping missions

Antara News, Mon, May 30 2011

Jakarta (ANTARA News) - A member of the House of Representatives` Commission I covering defense and foreign affairs, Nurhayati Ali Assegaf said she was hoping to see more Indonesian women join UN peacekeeping missions.

" I fully support women`s engagement in peacekeeping efforts. If women get very good education, I believe they will have their own capacity to contribute to peace processes in the world," Nurhayati said here on Monday at a discussion titled "Indonesia`s Role in Peacekeeping Efforts" held by state radio station RRI`s World Service at the Sultan Hotel.

In the discussion held to mark International Day of UN Peacekeepers, Nurhayati said, like male troops, Indonesian female armed forces personnel were also capable of contributing to the efforts to maintain peace and security in the world.

Meanwhile, the chief of the Peace Mission of Indonesian Armed Forces I Gde Sunarta stated the assignment of female soldiers to serve in UN peacekeeping forces was increasing. While only one woman was sent to a peacekeeping mission in Congo in 2001, 24 were working in various countries in the world under the UN flag in the 2010-2011 period.

However, he admitted the women were not sent to combat zones. "We put them in staff positions and include them in public relations activities with NGOs and the public," he said.

"We are willing to see more female troops serving as members of UN peacekeeping forces in the future, especially now that the UN focuses on issues related to sexual abuse and protection of children," he said.

Earlier, UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon in remarks on the International Day of Peacekeepers stated there were more than 53,000 uniformed personnel and at least 11,000 civilian staff from 94 countries serving in 15 missions across the globe. These numbers were likely to increase as the Security Council had just approved an operation in Burundi, and another was being planned for Sudan.

"The growth in missions is a welcome sign that many countries are choosing a healthier path as they emerge from violent conflicts. But it also places enormous strain on our existing resources. I urge Member States to provide the additional peacekeepers that will be needed, and the resources to go with them," he said.

He said peacekeeping had long since evolved beyond its traditional role as a monitor of ceasefires. Today, UN missions engaged in such tasks as assisting political transitions, building institutions, fostering the spread of the rule of law, supporting economic reconstruction, supervising elections, disarming militias and former combatants, facilitating humanitarian aid programs and re-settling refugees and displaced persons.

"Peacekeeping missions can never end wars by themselves. But they do offer the best possible way of ensuring there is a sustainable peace. On the International Day for UN Peacekeepers, let us remember that the most expensive peacekeeping operation costs far less than the cheapest war. That is an investment well worth making," he said.
