Cempaka Culture and Tourism: Irene becomes Indonesia’s first Woman Grand Master

"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. …”

Irene becomes Indonesia’s first Woman Grand Master

Indonesian chess princess Irene Kharisma Sukandar has topped off her haul of victories over Woman Grand Masters (WGM) and Woman International Masters (WIM) by earning her third norm, and with it, the coveted WGM title — the country’s first.

The 16-year-old, holder of a WIM title, earned a norm during last month’s Chess Olympiad in Dresden, Germany, and was presented with her new ranking by ASEAN Chess Confederation president Ignatius Leong, the Indonesian Chess Association (Percasi) said Wednesday in a statement sent to The Jakarta Post.

Irene is in Singapore to compete in the Singapore Open chess tournament, running from Tuesday to Sunday.

She earned her norm after winning five matches, drawing three and losing one at the Dresden contest.

“Of course I’m happy (about becoming Indonesia’s first WGM) and very grateful to God Almighty,” Irene said in a text message to the Post.

She added she hoped her achievement could be repeated by other Indonesian women.

“I hope other (women chess players) will do the same now that the door has been opened. I’ve broken through it!” said Irene, who was named the best female player at the Malaysia Open chess tournament in Kuala Lumpur last August.

Irene is the first woman in Indonesian history to attain the chess world’s highest title. By contrast, several Indonesian men have already attained the title of grand master. Among the country’s few WIMs are Upi Darmayana Tamin, Lindri Juni Wijayanti, Lisa Karlina Lumongdong and Maria Ratna Lucia (no longer active).

Percasi secretary-gene-ral Harry Jaya Pahlawan admitted he was caught off guard by Irene’s achievement.

“We thought she might have gotten her norm next year,” he was quoted as saying in a statement.

“So we’re happy at the news, keeping in mind how hard Irene’s journey has been to write a new chapter in Indonesian history.”
