“… 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. …”

The first attempt at the record outside Indonesia will be hosted by the Embassy of Indonesia at the Washington Monument, highlighting a day of festivities meant to introduce Americans to Indonesia’s diverse culture.  

As many in the ensemble will be first-time angklung players, the Embassy commissioned 5,000 angklungs from West Java for the event. After receiving their angklung and Balinese bandana or batik scarf, Daeng will give the crowd a crash course in the art of the angklung, teaching them the song that they will play during the record attempt.

A Guiness World Records judge will oversee the event and if the ensemble succeeds, each participant will receive a certificate acknowledging their role in the newly-minted record. 1,600 participants have already registered.

"It may surprise our guests to learn that Indonesia is actually the world's fourth largest country because only 3,000 Indonesians reside in the D.C. Metro area," said Ambassador Dino Djalal.

"Indonesia Festival 2011 is a perfect opportunity to celebrate multiculturalism and share with Washington the food, dance and music of our nation's more than 230 million citizens."

The all-day festival was organized by the Indonesian Embassy and the Indonesian community in Washington, DC to celebrate Indonesia’s diverse cultural traditions.

In the afternoon, guests will get to taste Indonesian cuisine, try traditional crafts at an arts workshop, and take in a variety of dance, music, and martial arts performances from across Indonesia.

Indonesian artists Malik D'essentials, Sherina, Balawan and Elfa's singers will be featured alongside a lineup of performers from Brazil and the US, including Grammy-nominated singer Raheem DeVaughn and 80's favorite Air Supply.
