"The Recalibration of Awareness – Apr 20/21, 2012 (Kryon channeled by Lee Carroll) (Subjects: Old Energy, Recalibration Lectures, God / Creator, Religions/Spiritual systems (Catholic Church, Priests/Nun’s, Worship, John Paul Pope, Women in the Church otherwise church will go, Current Pope won’t do it), Middle East, Jews, Governments will change (Internet, Media, Democracies, Dictators, North Korea, Nations voted at once), Integrity (Businesses, Tobacco Companies, Bankers/ Financial Institutes, Pharmaceutical company to collapse), Illuminati (Started in Greece, with Shipping, Financial markets, Stock markets, Pharmaceutical money (fund to build Africa, to develop)), Shift of Human Consciousness, (Old) Souls, Women, Masters to/already come back, Global Unity.... etc.) - (Text version)

… 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. …

'Tempo Doeloe' photos trace city history

SEMARANG (The Jakarta Post) : The history of Semarang was vividly portrayed in Semarang Tempo Doeloe, a photographic exhibit on the city's olden days that was displayed at the Town Hall from May 21-23.

Those who were unable to view the show may still be able to obtain exhibition catalogs filled with pictures of the city in a bygone era.

Exhibition committee chairman M. Maulana Fahmi said the event was held to coincide with the Central Java capital's 460th anniversary.

"We cooperated with the Seputar Semarang daily, the Semarang municipal administration and the Central Java Regional Archives Office" for the exhibit, he said.

Official records indicate that Semarang is mentioned in the accounts of Dutch historians H.J. de Graaf and Th. Pigeaud. The historians pointed out that before Dutch colonial rule, Semarang was already a crossroads of different cultures and civilizations.

Some pictures were portraits of Semarang's noted citizens and others traced the architectural history of the capital.

The photo of the provincial governor's office, for instance, reveals that in 1956, the building was located on Jl. Oei Tiong Ham (now Jl. Pahlawan), named after a Dutch-era business tycoon. Another street called Oei Tiong Bing Weg (street), is now Jl. Sultan Agung.

Aerial photos showed the Djoernatan area with its Semarang River and city tramway, the Kota Lama -- or "Old Town" -- area in 1948 with a Sleko gas plant, and Semarang town square in its original state.

Apart from buildings and public facilities, the pictures also revealed the earliest conditions of Semarang's markets and other economic activities, art and cultural centers, prisoners' camps and night fairs. -- JP/Suherdjoko
