"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. …

Indonesian student makes magic in Camden

Sunanda CreaghThe Sydney Morning Herald, November 11, 2008 - 1:48PM 

If the execution of the Bali bombers has you worried about reprisal attacks on Australians in Indonesia, spare a thought for Indonesian exchange student Mohammed Fauzi. 

"Before I came to Australia, I was a little bit afraid. I thought of the Bali bombing and how so many Australians were victims," said Mr Fauzi, a student of English who has been teaching Bahasa Indonesia to children at the Macarthur Anglican School. "I was a bit afraid that maybe I would be attacked." 

The Muslim Indonesian man is here on the Australia-Indonesia Youth Exchange Program and has been billeted in Camden - the place where a vocal minority recently fought an Islamic society's proposed school because, as one resident put it: "My kids don't speak Muslim." 

Mr Fauzi is among 18 Indonesian participants in the exchange program, which has been sending Indonesians to Australia and Australians to Indonesia for 26 years. This year's batch of Indonesians arrived at a time when their country was in the news for all the wrong reasons but Mr Fauzi says he has been welcomed in Camden. 

"The students are very responsive and are happy I am here. Not only the students but the teachers are very friendly and gave me a warm welcome," Mr Fauzi said. 

That's not to say he hasn't fielded some tough questions from his students about the Bali bombers Amrozi, Mukhlas and Imam Samudra. 

"I told them that not all of Indonesian society agrees with what they did and I include myself in the number of people who don't like what happened. I also feel like, 'Why did this happen to Indonesia?'" he said. 

"I just tried to explain that there is fanatical Islam and then there is very different Islam. Basically, Islam hates violence. Of course, there are some Muslims who do not know better." 

Mr Fauzi, a self-taught illusionist, has found that nothing bridges the cultural divide like a disappearing-reappearing coin or scarf, and has been known to try out a few magic tricks in class. 

Ben Davis, a teacher at Macarthur Anglican School, said the Australia-Indonesia Youth Exchange Program allowed some of his students to meet an Indonesian person for the first time. 

"Being a young guy and a magician, he's really lively and he's really helped in breaking down a few stereotypes," Mr Davis said. "His English is really good and he's been willing to give anything a go. It's been really good for the students of the school." 

Harry Wicaksana, 23, a Balinese man who has joined Mr Fauzi on exchange in Australia hopes that the program "will bring more understanding between Australia and Indonesia". 

"We also want to spread the spirit that Indonesia is a peaceful nation and Muslims should not be associated with terrorism just because some people do it," he said. 

The 18 Indonesian students have now been billeted in rural towns for the remaining part of their time in Australia and will then escort 18 Australians to Indonesia.
