… 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. …

The Dutch should learn from history - the German way

Germany has not forgotten the lessons from its past. The Netherlands, by contrast, seems blinded by the myth of its own innocence.

NRC International, by Geert Mak, 6 November 2009 14:55 / Opinion

Otto von der Gablentz, a legendary German ambassador in The Hague in the 1980s, is one of the people who made me a European. I mean: a conscious European, thinking and acting from the European perspective. We became friends during the last years of his life [he died in 2007] and we often discussed the differences between Germany and the Netherlands.

Otto shared with me the obvious fact that in the Germany of his youth there were always aunts but never any uncles. We discussed the feeling, still common among Germans of his generation, that war is a normal occurrence. It is something I have heard from older Poles and Russians too: every generation has its war. It is inevitable and you might as well accept it. That was their myth, the myth of war.

Myth of innocence

For Dutch people war, on the other hand, is an entirely alien concept. We prefer to wrap it up in more pleasant terms like 'peace mission' or 'reconstruction project'. Only when a brave soldier is given a medal does do we grasp something of the bloody reality of the Afghan battlefield. War and normality are incompatible to us. In our own history war and prosecution seldom feature, except when we are the victims. That is our myth, the myth of innocence.

We are entering a new phase in history now. The generations who bore direct responsibility [for the second World War] have almost disappeared, allowing us to explore certain areas with a more open mind. Doors previously shut are finally opening. There is room for new questions, new research.

As a result long repressed history is begining to surface. In Germany the suffering of the refugees and the victims of the bombings are part of almost every family history. This too needs to eventually become part of the bigger German story too.

The German resistance also deserves to be reevaluated. Germany has subjected itself to an almost exemplary self-examination, yet the resistance against the Nazis, unlike in the Netherlands, has always remained in the shadows of history.

Why? Perhaps in the past too many groups, the communists among them, have claimed to have been the resistance, the 'good' Germany, to the exclusion of all others. The stigma of treason that kept haunting these dissidents for a long time afterwards may also have played a role. Finally, the very existence of a resistance meant that German complicity could not simply be blamed on the Nazis or the state, that there was an individual choice to be made.

Dutch genocide

In the Netherlands the questions are of a different order. We could use some more self-examination, for example of the apartheid that reigned in the Dutch Indies [now Indonesia]. When my parents lived there, they and my brothers and sisters enjoyed many pleasant afternoons by the swimming pool. A pool that was off-limits to people of colour except for one special night a week.

We have also repressed the history of our own wars, partly because they were always fought far away. Dutch politicians still wax nostalgic about the enterprising spirit of the VOC [the Dutch multinational corporation that carried out colonial activities in Asia in the 17th and 18th centuries.] But who ever heard of the Dutch genocide of 1825, when an estimated 200,000 people in Java, most of them Muslims, were slaughtered?

We would also do well to study the process of exclusion and discrimination of minorities, as they happened in Germany in the 1930s, in France and the Netherlands in the 1940s and in Serbia in the 1990s. Not to demonise certain politicians or movements, but to analyse what happened. Events never repeat themselves in exactly the same way, but certain patterns are discernible throughout history.

Precursor to violence

The constant challenging of the presence of minorities, as is happening in the Netherlands right now, is often the precursor to discrimination and even violence. The process is strengthened when such racist ideas are given the stamp of normality, for instance when the mainstream media present them as a 'normal' political current. Or worse, when established political parties or the trade unions are open to forming coalitions with these extremist movements, as if they were part of the 'normal' democratic order.

In society at large, such a process can act as a catalyst for further humiliation. A kind of self-justification takes place. People tend to see the established order as a just order, even if this is not the case. If they see someone being humiliated, however unjustly, people will usually come to see them as less valuable, or even as 'bad'. Eventually this can lead to these humiliated minorities being excluded from the moral universe, so that moral values, fundamental rights and human consideration no longer have to apply. The end result can be much injustice and much human suffering.

Many people in the Netherlands know this and are worried about these developments. But there are many others who do not seem to realise that political correctness is also a form of civilisation, that certain statements or campaigns are unacceptable in a democracy, and that there is a unspoken consensus about this among politicians in civilised countries. Countries like modern-day Germany, which has not forgotten the lessons from its past, unlike the Netherlands, which seems blinded by the myth of its own innocence.

Geert Mak is a Dutch journalist and historian. The above text is a condensed version of his acceptance speech of the Otto von der Gablentz award.
