“ … Here is another one. A change in what Human nature will allow for government. "Careful, Kryon, don't talk about politics. You'll get in trouble." I won't get in trouble. I'm going to tell you to watch for leadership that cares about you. "You mean politics is going to change?" It already has. It's beginning. Watch for it. You're going to see a total phase-out of old energy dictatorships eventually. The potential is that you're going to see that before 2013.

“… 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. …”

With Overdue Help, East Can Rise Again

It is hard to imagine that more than two centuries ago the Dutch traded Manhattan to the British for Ambon, which like many of the islands that would eventually become part of eastern Indonesia was thriving on the nutmeg and clove trade while Manhattan was a barren piece of land.

How times have changed. Eastern Indonesia is today virtually cut off from the world while Manhattan is arguably the center of the financial world. Nusa Tenggara, Maluku and Papua, which make up eastern Indonesia, are among the most backward regions of the country. According to a 2007 World Bank report, this region has far lower levels of access and assets compared to Java-Bali or even Sumatra and Kalimantan. It also suffers from lower returns on education and far higher levels of informal employment. Its remoteness translates into lower levels of access to basic services and infrastructure.

In a nutshell, this means that eastern Indonesia has been neglected by the central government for much of the country’s history. Its people suffer silently, devoid of political and economic power despite the rich potential the region offers in terms of tourism and the marine industry.

It is thus heartening to note that Vice President-elect Boediono is on a swing through the region to explore new development models and study viable infrastructure projects. The noted economist visited Ambon before flying on to Papua. Accompanied by transportation experts, he is on a fact-finding mission to develop this forgotten part of the country.

So far the projects on the table include ports, airports, roads and highways. The vice president-elect should add schools, power stations and tourism infrastructure to create both human capital and greater economic opportunities for residents.

Better infrastructure, more schools and hospitals will attract private investment into the region. Entrepreneurs will risk capital if they know new opportunities might open up. This will create jobs and raise the overall standard of living for people who currently survive primarily on agriculture.

Improving economic opportunities will translate into narrowing the income and poverty gap between eastern Indonesia and the rest of the country. It will also expand the national economy as new areas open up and more wealth is created. The people of eastern Indonesia deserve the opportunity to improve their lives. They have been neglected for too long, but with a growing economy they too should receive a share of the economic pie.

Regional development disparities are a salient feature of poverty in Indonesia. The people of eastern Indonesia may not be starving but neither do they have access to the services that make up modern life.

Economic growth has been and will continue to be fundamental to reducing poverty in Indonesia, and no matter where citizens live in this vast country, if given the right opportunities they will strive to improve their lives.
