"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. …

RI, Netherlands ink accord

Foreign Minister Hassan Wirayuda and his Dutch counterpart Maxime Verhagen signed the Comprehensive Partnership Agreement (CPA) to boost relations between the countries. 

“The agreement aims to deepen and broaden the bilateral relations between the two countries,” Hassan told journalists after completing the final draft of the accord at his office. 

Verhagen was in Indonesia for the first time since being appointed Dutch foreign minister in early 2007. He said the two countries had “a long-standing and special relationship” as was reflected by their “historical ties and mutual cooperation”. 

“The Netherlands is very pleased with the CPA, as it reflects the broad scope of our special relationship and intensifies our cooperation in many areas: Politics, international relations, legal affairs and much, much more,” he said. 

The Dutch minister also met with President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and Justice and Human Rights Minister Andi Mattalata on Wednesday. 

His meeting with Andi preluded Dutch Judicial Minister Ernest Hirsch’s visit to Indonesia scheduled for February to sign a memorandum of understanding on extradition, mutual legal assistance and criminal transfer. 

Verhagen said his country would donate 2.5 million euro to follow up on the recent Bali Democracy Forum, which he said “evidenced the important role Indonesia was playing in Asia”, adding that “Strengthening democracy is our common goal”. 

Work on the CPA began in 2006. It will pave the way for the enhancement of bilateral cooperation in the fields of security, economics, the environment, culture and education. A plan of action detailing the cooperation will be made after leaders of the two countries sign the accord, the Foreign Ministry’s Director General for America and Europe Retno L.P. Marsudi said. 

President Yudhoyono will not be able to sign the initiative this year, Retno added. “The Dutch foreign minister had told his government to renew the invitation in the hope that by 2010 the President could visit the Netherlands to sign the agreement.” 

Analysts welcomed the agreement, saying it would be a “new foundation” on which the two countries could broaden their relations. “This is a commitment of both countries to bury old wounds,” said Bantarto Bandoro, an international relations analyst at the University of Indonesia. 

Indonesia and the Netherlands have in the past three years seen their relations improve after then Dutch foreign minister Bernard Bot in 2005 attended Indonesia’s Independence Day celebrations and acknowledged the country’s date of independence as Aug. 17, 1945. Previously, Amsterdam had not recognized the date, insisting instead that its former colony had become independent on Dec. 27, 1949. 

The Netherlands was among the top 10 biggest investors in Indonesia in 2007, spending US$147 million on 27 projects. The trade volume between the countries in the January to September period last year reached $3.3 billion, a 52.5 percent increase from the same period in the previous year.
