“… 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 get frivolous over Haiti disaster

Radio Netherlands Worldwide, 21 January 2010 - 9:46am, by Rob Kievit

Radio 555 programmes also go out on the web, satellite and on Radio Netherlands' shortwave frequencies 5955 and 9895 kHz, and nationally on 1296 kHz.

The people of the Netherlands are not known for their frivolous character. Yet this Thursday they are in the grip of a nationwide showbiz frenzy, but true to the Calvinist ethic underlying the Dutch national character, it's all for a good cause.

All of the Netherlands' popular radio and tv stations have become one for a day, in order to broadcast a 24-hour appeal for aid to the stricken people of Haiti. Setting aside their deep-grained rivalry, public and commercial broadcasters have teamed up to beam a national fund-raising programme around the country. A similar event took place after the 2004 tsunami disaster.

Fundraising in 2010: RNW's Anouk Tijssen

Around the clock

The national radio station for-a-day began broadcasting early in the morning, and TV channels will take over in the evening. Taking its name from the joint bank account number of the country's aid agencies, Radio 555 programmes are hosted by popular deejays and sponsored by major companies. Major artists are performing live in the shows free of charge, sometimes saying they won't play a single note before another substantial donation for Haiti has come in. Representatives of big companies are playfully humiliated on-air to pressure them into donating more, while individuals who give a modest 10 euros are greeted with applause and fanfares.

Fundraising in 1962: Mies Bouwman collecting for handicapped village

Open the Village

Using showbiz techniques to raise funds goes back a long way in the Netherlands. In the early days of TV, an around-the-clock fundraiser in 1962 to build a village for handicapped people has become legendary. Hosted on the country's only channel by the nation's favourite girl, presenter Mies Bouwman, celebrities and common people alike pledged to donate. The total received during the show was 16 million guilders - 40 million euros when corrected for today's inflation and income levels. The specially adapted village was built and exists to this day near the city of Arnhem.

Fundraising in 1953: Johan Bodegraven "Close the dikes!"

When the dikes burst

But the "Open the Village" marathon was not the first use of Dutch mass media for a good cause. Even before the first TV set was sold in the Netherlands, radio came to the fore when half the country was struck by a flood disaster in 1953. A hurricane-force storm broke the dikes and flooded the southwestern part of the country, as well as areas in Belgium and the UK. The ideological broadcasting companies who normally bickered over the amount of airtime they were given, set aside their quarrels and broadcast a weekly show, "Open your purses, close the dikes". The show's host Johan Bodegraven became a national hero.

Is it unique for a huge fundraising action to take over national media? Surely not. But it is unique for the Dutch broadcasters, who take their job seriously, both in terms of commerce, content and competition, to rise above the daily rivalry when disaster strikes. And for one day, nobody objects when the media empty the public's pockets with a smile, because it's for a good cause.
