"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. …

Farmers’ Association Endorses Jokowi at Monday Gathering

Jakarta. Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) presidential candidate Joko Widodo accepted the endorsement of the Indonesian Farmers’ Association (HKTI) on Monday at the organization’s anniversary celebration at Balai Kartini convention center in South Jakarta, despite Great Indonesia Movement (Gerindra) Party candidate Prabowo Subianto’s longtime association with the group.

“We decided after the presidential debate last night that the people who are able to lead Indonesia and who will listen to the people are Jokowi and JK,” HKTI secretary general Benny Pasaribu said, referring to Joko by his nickname and running mate Jusuf Kalla by his initials.

The endorsement came as a surprise to some: Prabowo was the chairman of the HKTI from 2004 through 2009, and has continued to refer to himself as such, including on the paperwork he submitted to the General Election Commission (KPU) last month formalizing his candidacy.

“We will say this to Prabowo Subianto: claiming to be the chairman of HKTI is unethical and wrong, as it can create a restive environment and uneasy atmosphere among HKTI committee and members,” Benny said.

Monday night’s debate, which focused on the economy and social welfare, saw Prabowo quick to mention the role of agriculture in job creation and economic development. He argued for ethanol subsidies — a policy he has long supported — and claimed that each hectare of Indonesian farmland could support up to six jobs.

Joko also emphasized agriculture, and he argued that an increase in government appropriations flowing directly to villages would provide concrete benefits for farmers, but his responses centered more on empowering small enterprises to compete globally.

Nonetheless, his approach inspired the confidence of the country’s largest farm association.

“The person who honestly defends the lives of farmers is Jokowi,” HKTI chairman Oesman Sapta said.

Thousand of HKTI members were bussed into the capital for the celebration, showing overwhelming support for the popular Jakarta governor, although Prabowo was also in attendance.

Hundreds were wearing red “Jokowi-Jusuf Kalla” shirts with “HKTI” emblazoned below, despite Benny’ claim that the decision to endorse the candidate had not been reached until Sunday night.

A bus parked outside the building, decked out with cardboard cutouts of Joko, blasted the candidate’s campaign songs, but some attendees said the celebration was about more than just the upcoming election.

“We came here to sing songs and celebrate Indonesian farmers,” music teacher and HKTI organizer Gerry Gustaman said. “It has nothing to do with politics.”
