“… 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. …”

Dutch quarrel over Indonesian independence day

NRC International, 28 December 2009

Should the Dutch retroactively recognise Indonesia's independence was established in 1945, not 1949, is a question currently being debated in the Netherlands. The 60th anniversary of Indonesia's independence came and went in silence on Sunday. While the official day in Dutch history books may be December 27, 1949, Indonesians celebrate their independence on August 17. On that day in 1945 nationalist leaders Sukarno and Mohammad Hatta proclaimed Indonesian independence.

Colonial rule over the Dutch East Indies had been suspended during the Second World War, when Japan invaded and occupied the Indonesian territories. Sukarno and Hatta declared independence of the Republic of Indonesia days after Japan surrendered in August 1945, but the Dutch refused to recognise the newborn nation. The Netherlands tried to reestablish its rule, but finally relinquished under international pressure four years later.

In a letter published in NRC Handelsblad last week, 22 prominent writers, historians and lawyers asked the Dutch government to finally recognise the proclamation in 1945 was a legitimate act. "The Indonesian people themselves decided on their independence," they wrote.

The Dutch foreign ministry, however, immediately responded by saying the independence only became official after sovereignty was handed over. "The actual transfer of sovereignty took place on December 27, 1949 (...). This is an established historical fact that can not be changed 60 years later," a statement issued by the ministry read.

Not only do the authors of the letter want the Dutch government to retroactively recognise Indonesia’s independence, they say it needs to render account of its armed and political actions between 1945 and 1949. "The lack of full political recognition by the Netherlands is a historic failure we consider unjust towards the people of Indonesia."

The foreign ministry responded saying the Netherlands had "politically and morally" accepted the historic date of August 17, 1945, when then foreign minister Ben Bot attended the independence celebrations in Jakarta in 2005.

The authors say the Indonesian people did see Bot's apology there as an implicit recognition, but they are still waiting for an official one.
