“… 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. …”

Classic Dox - The Lonely Funeral

RNW, 13 September 2010

Every year up to twenty people die completely alone in Amsterdam. There are no friends or family to prepare their funeral or mourn over the body. No one, that is, except a civil servant and a poet.

Some die alone in their home, with nothing but their identity. The anonymous dead are illegal migrants, drug mules, or simply people who for one reason or another, cut off all social contacts. Some are elderly, some are infants.

For 20 years, retired Amsterdam civil servant Ger Frits has made sure that these lonely or unknown citizens get a respectful send-off. He visits their homes if they had one, and carefully chooses music to play at their funeral. He puts flowers on the coffin and accompanies each person to their final resting place.

“Farewell sir,

without papers, without identity. What were you looking for?

How much did you lose along the way?”

A few years ago, Amsterdam poet Frank Starik decided that these people also deserved to be eulogized. He contacted the Amsterdam city services and asked if he could take part in these forgotten funerals. Despite concerns over privacy, Ger Frits agreed.

Starik says that the poem is first and foremost for the deceased. He’s not a religious man, nor is Ger Frits. But he feels that the funeral is a moment of reckoning. “It’s your time at heaven’s gate, he says. “Someone needs to put in a good word for you.”

“Who then, loved you? In which rooms did you sleep,

who kissed you goodnight, who’ll wear out your shirt?

Who will want to stand where you once stood?

Who now takes the road you took?”

“People are story machines,” explains Starik. “We’re always busy making and re-making our stories. What the Lonely Funeral does is return stories to people who have somehow lost theirs along the way.”

Starting with their very first funeral together, Ger Frits and Frank Starik forged an unlikely friendship based on mutual respect for the lonely citizens of their city.

“Who still looks for you? Who remembers whence you came?

Who heard the voice calling out for you to come on home, man,

to your final haven, Amsterdam.”

The Lonely Funeral was produced and presented by Michele Ernsting. It’s part of the international exchange series Global Perspective – At the Edge. The feature is a Finalist in the category Human Relations at the 2010 New York Festivals.
