“… 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. …”

Lobbying for top jobs – do the Dutch care?

Radio Netherlands Worldwide, By Johan Huizinga, October 2009 - 4:22pm

Jan Peter Balkenende being second choice for the position of European President does not exactly inspire enthusiasm in the Dutch. This may be because he is clearly the second choice candidate, after the British ex-Prime Minister Tony Blair who has been sidelined. This is in contrast to the past, when the Dutch public unanimously backed its candidates for top positions.

So how are the Dutch doing in international top positions?

In the European Union the Netherlands isn’t doing too badly at all. While the Netherlands makes up 3.3 percent of the population of the European Union, it holds 3.6 percent of all the policy making positions. And an even greater 4.7 percent of the top positions.

This isn’t a bad score, concludes Frank Mollen, the Dutch representative concerned with appointments in Brussels. However, it is a problem that young civil servants at the start of their careers are becoming less interested in a career in Brussels.

Never threaten

The Netherlands used to be known abroad as a country that held a relatively high number of top positions. The reason for this was our international focus, our interest in international legal order, our knowledge of languages and our overall knowledge in general. But today experts are less optimistic.

“We are bad at lobbying,” says Frank van Kappen, former military advisor to the Secretary-General of the United Nations. Unlike other countries, the Netherlands never threatens to stop any payments to international funds in order to push through appointments.

And when it comes to public relations, the Netherlands falls short as well. “When Sweden sent a transport plane with food parcels to Africa, the ambassador paid a visit to Kofi Anan to let him know. But when the Netherlands sent three DC-10s of emergency aid, the Secretary-General of the UN had to find out by coincidence through a defence newspaper.”

Pushing national interests

Mr Van Kappen says The Hague never asked him to ‘push’ Dutch interests a bit. However, this image of honesty and independence can also work to your advantage. Especially when highly-sensitive positions where integrity is an asset are at stake.

All the same, one is left with the image of a frugal country that spends relatively little money and energy on lobbying for top positions. And if on top of that the Netherlands is too polite to ‘push’ its own interests, it leaves us with one last question: What would having Jan Peter Balkenende as President of Europe bring us? A lot of publicity, that’s for sure.
