… 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 priest keeps faith in Syria's besieged Homs

Beirut — There is little food or hope left in Syria's besieged Old City of Homs. But an elderly Dutch priest has remained there in solidarity with the Syrians he considers countrymen.

Father Frans van der Lugt has spent nearly five decades in Syria, a country he loves so dearly that he considers it his own, although he was born in The Netherlands.

Despite crushing hardship in Homs, where residents face a daily struggle to find food and the Christian population has dwindled to a few dozen, the thought of leaving could not be further from his mind.

"I'm the head of the monastery, how could I leave it? How could I leave the Christians behind? It would be impossible," he told AFP in an interview over Skype.

"The Syrian people have given me so much, so much kindness, inspiration and everything they have. If the Syrian people are suffering now, I want to share their pain and their difficulties."

Father Frans, a Jesuit, arrived in Syria in 1966 after spending two years in Lebanon studying Arabic.

At 75, his eyes still sparkle behind his glasses as he talks, and he smiles as he describes his relationship with his adopted home.

But he describes soberly the suffering of the estimated 3,000 people left in Homs's Old City, under a suffocating army siege and daily regime bombardment.

"You see a man of 20 who says 'I'm hungry', but we have nothing," he said.

"We've gotten to the point where we're eating air."

He said residents scrounge what they can from the remaining vegetation in the area, but the situation is desperate.

'Very little food'

"We have very, very little food, and after a week or two or three, we'll have nothing," he said.

"The faces of people you see in the street are weak and yellow. Their bodies are weakened and have lost their strength.

"What should we do, die of hunger?"

The Old City of Homs was at the centre of discussions between the Syrian regime and opposition at peace talks in Geneva last week.

But while the regime offered to allow women and children to leave the area, there was no deal on the exit of men, or the entry of aid into the city.

"We want to eat and we want aid to come in, but we also want a way out," Father Frans said.

"There is hunger here, but there's also hunger for a normal life... A human being is more than just a stomach, he has a heart too and wants to see his loved ones."

The harsh conditions have whittled away the Old City's population, and left many of its buildings including mosques and churches damaged beyond recognition.

Tens of thousands of Christians once lived in the area, but Father Frans said just 66 remain.
"I am the only priest and the only foreigner left," he said.

"Although, I don't feel like a foreigner, I'm an Arab with the Arabs," he added with a smile.

'I see human beings'

He lives in a Jesuit monastery, where a widow cooks for him, and he does what he can for the poorest families of the neighbourhood, Muslim and Christian.

"I don't see people as Muslims or Christian, I see a human being first and foremost," he said.

"The worst part about the situation we're in now is that we can't help those who are in need."

Father Frans said medical aid was desperately needed in the city, where the medicine that is available has expired.

And the damage to homes is so great, he said, that a return for most residents would be impossible for now.

The situation is a far cry from the grand hotels in the Swiss towns of Montreux and Geneva where the Syrian regime and opposition fruitlessly discussed Homs's plight.

"They talk and meet in restaurants and hotels, but what we're living through here is so far removed from how they're living," Father Frans said.

Electricity cuts are constant in the area, forcing the elderly priest to relocate three times during his interview with AFP as the laptop battery drained.

"They talk about us, but they don't live with us," he said.

But there is no trace of bitterness in his voice, and he insists that both regime and opposition must find a way to trust each other.

"If there is trust, then the negotiations will be productive. If there isn't, they won't succeed whether they're held in Geneva, Paris, Honolulu or London," he said.

"We have to assume that there are positive things about the other," he added.

"You can't just assume everyone is a devil, or everyone is an angel."
