… 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. …

Merah Putih Ready for Oranje Army

Indonesia and the Netherlands may have a long and entwined history, but that hasn’t translated into contact on the football pitch. Tonight’s friendly match between the two at South Jakarta’s Gelora Bung Karno is the first clash between them.

Merah Putih officials and players are hopeful they can put up a good fight against a team ranked in the world’s top 10, and learn a few things from their opponents.

Indonesia’s national side has had a quiet year after finishing 2012 with a disappointing preliminary round exit of the Asean Football Federation Suzuki Cup. In its last friendly match, in the lead-up to the tournament, Indonesia was crushed 7-1 by Uruguay in Jakarta.

New head coach Jacksen Tiago has called up 21 players for the match and promised fans that the side, which has faced accusations of a lack of commitment in the past, would be trying its hardest.

“We have arranged strategies to play the Netherlands and we hope the players can execute our game plan well and give the fans their best result,” Tiago told reporters at a news conference on Thursday.

Tiago said naturalized Dutch-born players Raphael Maitimo and Sergio Van Dijk had given him some insights into the Netherlands side.

“I had a discussion with Raphael and Sergio this morning. They gave me lots of input, including information about some players that I don’t know. It was a very productive discussion,” Tiago said.

The 45-year-old coach acknowledged it would be a tough game for his side; the Netherlands currently ranks fifth in FIFA rankings, while Indonesia sits at 170.

“I want to see two things from the players. First they have to play to the best of their ability, while secondly I want them to understand our game plan and execute it properly during the match,” he said.

Meanwhile, Dutch head coach Louis van Gaal has brought his best possible line-up to the Asian tour, including Robin van Persie, Arjen Robben, Dirk Kuyt and Wesley Sneijder.

Van Gaal said that initially he wanted to bring more youngsters on the trip, but they have to play in the Euro Under-21 event in Israel.

“I selected 41 players, but with the tournament in Israel, I have to select more older players for Indonesia. I selected 21 players, but Rafael van der Vaart is injured, so he’s not coming,” he said.

“Maybe Robben is slightly injured, which happened during the final for the German Cup [for Bayern Munich] against Stuttgart. I don’t know if he can play, but I expect he can play for 45 minutes.

“The circumstances here are also against us because our players are not used to hot weather and humidity. So, I have to take care of these problems too.”

Despite the 2010 World Cup runner-up’s status as a football powerhouse, van Gaal denied that his team would take Indonesia lightly.

“I always have respect for my opponent. When you are a professional trainer or player, you always prepare professionally.  When you fly 16 hours to play a match, it’s very unprofessional if you don’t play the match seriously,” van Gaal said.

“Besides, we’re here not only for the match. We’re here to hand over our knowledge about infrastructure and education.”
