“… 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. …”

Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen to give half of his fortune to charity

Paul Allen's pledge comes a month after Bill Gates and Warren Buffett launch campaign urging billionaires to give more

The lesser-known half of the duo that created the Microsoft technology empire, Paul Allen, has pledged to hand at least half of his estimated $13.5bn (£8.8bn) fortune to charity, taking up a philanthropic challenge laid down by his one-time business partner, Bill Gates.

Allen, who is rated by Forbes magazine as the world's 37th richest person, yesterday announced that "the majority" of his estate would ultimately be left to philanthropic causes, with an emphasis on funding not-for-profit scientific research.

His declaration came a month after Gates and fellow billionaire Warren Buffett launched a campaign dubbed the "giving pledge" that urges America's richest individuals to commit half of their fortunes to charitable causes.

Gates and Buffett have pooled much of their own money into the Gates Foundation, which targets diseases in developing countries.

The philanthropic pledge is a rare public statement by 57-year-old Allen, who stepped down from Microsoft in 1983 after being diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease and has recently endured chemotherapy to overcome a fresh battle with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Allen said he was making his intentions clear to coincide with the 20th anniversary of his own family foundation.

"I want to announce that my philanthropic efforts will continue after my lifetime," said Allen.

"I've planned for many years now that the majority of my estate will be left to philanthropy to continue the work of the Foundation and to fund non-profit scientific research."

Still resident in Microsoft's hometown of Seattle, Allen developed a reputation for enjoying the trappings of wealth as his stake in the software company exploded in value.

Allen owns one of the largest private yachts in the world, a vessel named Octopus, which is often moored in Monte Carlo. He once dated the tennis star Monica Seles and he bought his hometown American football team, the Seattle Seahawks, in 1997.

A science fiction fan, Allen owns the chair occupied by Captain Kirk on the bridge of the Starship Enterprise in the movie series Star Trek.

The push to get billionaires to donate more of their money to charity began in earnest in May last year when Buffett and Gates quietly organised a summit meeting on philanthropy, discreetly held at a university in New York, to pitch the idea of their giving pledge.

Those present included Oprah Winfrey, the media mogul Ted Turner and the currency speculator George Soros.
