Cempaka Culture and Tourism: Campaigning kicks off for Indonesian presidential election

“… 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. …”

Campaigning kicks off for Indonesian presidential election

Jakarta (AFP) - Campaigning for Indonesia's July presidential election officially kicked off Wednesday, with favourite Joko Widodo facing a tough challenge from a Suharto-era former general with a chequered human rights record.

Widodo, who won legions of fans during his time as Jakarta governor, started the campaign period with a ceremony at his Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle's headquarters in the capital.

The party head handed him a cone of rice, a traditional gift in Indonesian culture to mark important events. He was due to set off in the evening to the eastern region of Papua, his first stop on a mammoth tour round the archipelago to win votes for the July 9 poll.

His only opponent, ex-general Prabowo Subianto, was heading to Bandung, in the west of the main island of Java, to begin campaigning later Wednesday.

Voters face a stark choice between Widodo, seen as a fresh face in a country still dominated by figures from the three-decade Suharto dictatorship, and Prabowo, who has deep roots in the past.

Widodo has enjoyed a a meteoric rise, from small town mayor on Java, to Jakarta governor, and now the likely next president of Indonesia.

The 52-year-old's humble background and common touch -- he regularly tours the sprawling city's slums in casual clothes -- has made him popular in a country where leaders have typically come from the ranks of the military or wealthy, aloof elites.

"I will vote for Jokowi as he is humble and close to ordinary people," said Suradi, 60, a motorised rickshaw driver in the capital who like many Indonesians goes by one name.

In contrast, Prabowo was a leading figure in the military who commanded the army's special forces in the dying days of the Suharto era in the late 1990s and has admitted ordering the abduction of democracy activists.

But rights issues have taken a back seat in the local media's coverage of the elections, and Prabowo has played up his military background in a country where many have a yearning for a strong leader.

Despite Widodo's huge popularity -- he has been leading in surveys to become Indonesia's next leader for months -- Prabowo has narrowed the gap dramatically since legislative polls in April, while Widodo has lost ground.

Some 186 million people are eligible to vote in the election across the sprawling Indonesian archipelago, which is the fourth most populous country on Earth and home to the world's biggest Muslim population.
