“… 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. …”

Curb Your Enthusiasm for Firing Squads: Indonesian Ex-Foreign Minister

'We shouldn’t provide ammunition [for criticism], as if we enjoy killing people'

A former foreign minister has called on the Indonesian government to tone down its seemingly gleeful rhetoric about plans for executing foreign nationals on death row, which he says gives the impression that Indonesia enjoys such killings.

Hassan Wirajuda, Indonesia’s foreign minister under presidents Megawati Soekarnoputri and Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, said that the way Indonesian officials vividly described the planned executions had created a sense that Indonesia was happy about the executions.

“We should not provide ammunition [for criticism], as if we enjoy killing people,” he said over the weekend.

Hassan, who has been seen as the senior diplomat who groomed Retno L.P. Marsudi, Indonesia’s current foreign minister, said vulgar official statements such as those regarding preparations for executions by firing squad created problems for Indonesia.

“We should be able to understand them, although Brazil has been a little bit too harsh. But Brazil probably thinks we applauded its citizen’s execution,” he added.

On Saturday, President Joko Widodo said Indonesia’s stance was “clear” on the pending executions of two Australian drug smugglers, despite the suggestion by Australia’s prime minister that he was “carefully considering” his position.

The executions by firing squad of Myuran Sukumaran and Andrew Chan, the Australian ringleaders of the so-called “Bali Nine” drug smuggling gang, are believed to be imminent.

Their appeals for presidential clemency, typically the final chance of avoiding death, were recently rejected by Joko, and a court this week dismissed a bid to challenge that decision.

The looming sentences have dramatically heightened tensions between Australia and Indonesia, fraying ties that were only just recovering from a spying row.

Australia has been working to persuade Indonesia to allow the men to live, and Prime Minister Tony Abbott on Thursday offered a glimmer of hope after a phone conversation with Joko, whom he said was “carefully considering his position.”

However, Joko shot that suggestion down in an exclusive interview with local media on Friday.

“Our stance is clear. Our laws cannot be interfered [with],” Joko said as quoted by the Kontan news website.

Attorney General H.M. Prasetyo earlier said preparations for the executions of 10 drugs convicts, which include the two Australians, were “about 90 percent” complete.

The Australians are among a group of foreigners, including a Frenchman and a Brazilian, facing execution.

Brazil and France have also been ramping up pressure on Jakarta, with Paris summoning Indonesia’s envoy and the Brazilian president refusing to accept the credentials of the new Indonesian ambassador-designee.
