… 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. …

Minister Champions Bogor Villa Clearing

Public Works Minister Djoko Kirmanto has lauded an ongoing campaign to demolish holiday homes built in no-development zones, an initiative that has long been called for but only set into motion last year by Jakarta Governor Joko Widodo.

“I express my appreciation to the Bogor administration for their work,” Djoko said at his office in Jakarta on Tuesday.

“For a long time no one has dared to demolish those illegal villas. I hope that the Bogor district administration will continue to be firm in dealing with these zoning violations.”

The Bogor Public Order Agency, working with the police and the military in a campaign sparked by Joko, has since October torn down more than 75 holiday villas and other buildings as part of efforts to eliminate a total of 239 illegal buildings in the Puncak area. The exercise is an attempt to restore the affected land to its original function as water catchment areas for the Ciliwung River.

Since coming into office in late 2012, Joko has made it one of his key objectives to pressure authorities in neighboring Bogor to crack down on the zoning violations, which have been widely blamed for degrading the area’s ability to absorb rainwater runoff, thereby exacerbating flooding downstream in Jakarta.

The government allocated Rp 2.1 billion for the demolitions until the end of 2013, funded by grants from the Jakarta administration.

The hilly Puncak area has long been a popular weekend destination for Jakarta residents, and for decades locals and outsiders have built homes and holiday rentals in the scenic area, often in direct violation of zoning regulations.

Rachmat Yasin, the Bogor district chief, said last month that after the demolitions, the areas would be restored to their original function.

“If it is arable land, we suggest the area be used as a productive land without any buildings. If it is a water catchment and conservation area, the district government will conduct reforestation,” he said on Dec. 4.

“Those buildings have been there for dozens of years, even before I became the head of Bogor district, and [people] have involved other high-ranking officials to put pressure” on the district government to turn a blind eye to the violations, he said.

However, Yasin said officials would continue with clearing the illegal dwellings, regardless of who the owners were. “I don’t care who owns the building. If it’s proven to be in violation of the law, then I will confront them,” he said.
