… 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. …

News Outlets Quick to Joke About Indonesia Mecca Mistake

Jakarta Globe, July 20, 2010 

International news agencies and newspapers around the world have pounced on an embarrassing mistake by the Indonesian Ulema Council, which was forced to admit last week that it had botched calculations about the direction of Mecca.

In an article titled, “Indonesia’s Muslims miss Mecca (by about 1,500 miles),” Toby Green of the Independent writes that, “for more than 200 million Muslims in Indonesia, Mecca just moved.”

“Instead of facing Islam’s most holy city, a clerical error of astronomical proportions has seen the faithful directing their prayers towards Kenya and southern Somalia.”

Green cites the Jakarta Globe's "If You’re Praying Toward the West, You’re Doing it Wrong” published last week, in which the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) proclaimed that Mecca was actually to the northwest of Indonesia, and not to the west as had earlier stated.

Wire service The Associated Press wrote in an article titled “Indonesian Muslims facing Africa during prayers” that “people in the world’s most populous Muslim nation have been facing Africa — not Mecca — while praying.”

The British tabloid, The Sun, however, simply pointed out, with a comparatively mild headline, that “Muslims pray in the wrong direction.” CNN ran a similar story.

“Indonesian Muslims turn prayers back to Mecca after 1,000-mile mistake” wrote the Guardian in an article with a subhead that read, “Allah always listens, promise clerics, after cosmography corrects human error that told worshipers to face Somalia.”

“Indonesian Muslims have been praying in the wrong direction for months, facing Somalia when they should have been facing Saudi Arabia, the country’s highest religious authority said today,” the Guardian article began.

Australian newspaper The Herald-Sun titled its article, “Mistake sees Indonesia’s faithful sending prayers to Africa.”

“Muslims in Indonesia picked up their prayer mats and pointed them to Mecca yesterday after the shock discovery that the nation’s Islamic faithful were praying towards Africa by mistake.”
