… 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. …

Ancol gets boost from year-end holidays

The Jakarta Post,  Jakarta  |  Mon, 01/05/2009 11:05 AM  

Publicly listed PT Pembangunan Jaya Ancol (Ancol), the country's largest amusement park operator, cashed in hefty earnings during the Christmas and year-end holidays, boosting its full-year revenue by 14.7 percent. 

PJA president director Budi Karya Sumadi told The Jakarta Post recently the company's revenue last year was likely to reach Rp 875 billion (US$77.4 million) as against Rp 763 billion in 2007. 

"We have cashed in around Rp 60 billion alone from visitors during the Dec. 18 to 31 period," he said. 

"We estimate that we pulled in net profits of at least Rp 130 billion to Rp 135 billion last year," he said. 

In 2007, the company generated Rp 140.8 billion in net profit. 

The Ancol leisure complex, also known as Taman Impian Jaya Ancol, was opened in 1966, and has since remained the largest integrated tourism area in Southeast Asia 

Last year, the tourism facilities contributed more than 60 percent to the revenue of the company, which also runs a property development business. 

During the first nine months of 2008, the Ancol complex recorded 8.5 million visitors and was targeting to attract 13.5 million by the end of the year, which would have represented 10 percent growth from a year earlier. 

He forecast the number of Ancol visitors would increase by between 10 and 15 percent this year. 

According to Budi, Ancol has always benefited from the holiday season as leisure-hungry citizens flock to recreational sites. 

During the Idul Fitri holiday last October, for example, Jaya Ancol generated more than Rp 40 billion in revenue in less than a week. 

Last year, around 95 percent of Ancol visitors were locals, while only the remaining 5 percent were foreign tourists from Malaysia, Singapore and the Middle East. 

According to Budi, Ancol is now continuing to expand its business in merchandise sales and culinary outlets to boost sales growth. 

Ancol is 72 percent owned by the Jakarta administration, with the remaining 18 percent owned by PT Pembangunan Jaya and 10 percent by the public. (hwa)
