… 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. …

Governor guarantees freedom to worship

The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Fri, 08/13/2010 10:33 AM

Amid criticism of the city authorities’ friendly gestures towards Muslim hard-line groups, Governor Fauzi Bowo guaranteed Thursday the freedom to worship in Jakarta as part of his commitment to pluralism.

“The city administration is fully committed to pluralism and religious harmony and will not take even a step back from this commitment. Jakarta was built on diversi-ty,” Fauzi said at the City Hall following a meeting with members of the Indonesian Communion of Churches (PGI).

He said he was satisfied with the state of religious harmony in the city in the last five years.

PGI Jakarta secretary Manuel E. Raintung echoed the governor’s statement, saying that the Interfaith Communication Forum (FKUB) in the city always held a weekly meeting involving religious figures from the six religions officially recognized by the government: Islam, Protestantism, Catholicism, Buddhism, Hinduism and Confucianism.

“The communication between religious leaders is good and the FKUB members also have good relations with the city administration,” Manuel said.

However, he said, FKUB still faced problems communicating with the grass roots.

“We try to reach the people to inform them about religious harmony once a month,” Manuel said.

He said that at its upcoming plenary meeting, held once every five years, the PGI would discuss, among others, the creation of a democratic, fair and peaceful community.

The issue of religious intolerance has become a key topic for public discussion following several attacks on religious minorities by members of some Islamic mass organizations.

In the latest attack, hundreds of local residents and members of the Islamic Community Forum (FUI), an affiliate of the Islam Defenders Front (FPI), assaulted the congregation of the HKBP church in Pondok Timur Indah housing complex at Mustika Jaya subdistrict, Bekasi, eastern Jakarta, last Sunday.

A day earlier, Fauzi and Jakarta Police chief Insp. Gen. Timur Pradopo attended the FPI’s 12th anniversary celebrations.

Last Monday, city police invited several hard-line groups to a ceremony where evidence that had been confiscated during a recent operation against vice, piracy and narcotics crimes was destroyed.

Public Order Agency head Effendi Anas clarified Thursday that no mass organizations would be involved in city security issues including in raiding entertainment establishments during the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.

“There are only three institutions with the authority to monitor entertainment venue: the Public Order Agency, the Jakarta Tourism Agency and the Jakarta Police,” Effendi said, adding that the administration would not allow mass organizations to take part in raids.

Public order officers will monitor entertainment centers in the city from 10:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. every day. (not)
