“… 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. …”

Amsterdam ruled by “dominant white culture”

Radio Netherlands Worldwide

Amsterdam is almost entirely run by white Dutch people. There is hardly anyone from an immigrant background on the boards of directors of any of the capital city’s private or public organisations. Members of the establishment simply pass on the top jobs to old university friends, and non-Dutch people are excluded.

This is the conclusion of Amsterdam’s Advisory Council for Diversity and Integration. The council based its conclusion on a survey that included bodies ranging from housing corporations, hospitals and social services to cultural organisations and higher education institutions. And in local government, the picture is no different.

White

Chair of the Advisory Council, Ankie Verlaan, told Radio Netherlands Worldwide, “If you look at the make-up of the population, the executives don’t reflect the population.”

The 66 directors and board members of Amsterdam housing corporations include not a single immigrant. In social services organisations, not one of the 46 directors has a non-Dutch background. A similar picture emerges in higher education, where there are only four immigrants out of 70 board members, and in the cultural sector the proportion is just two out of 48.

Ankie Verlaan says there is a “dominant white culture” within organisations which is hard to break through. She says that although boards of directors and supervisory boards are not deliberately excluding people from ethnic minority backgrounds, the problem is they simply don’t know people from these communities. And people in top jobs tend to pass on positions to people in their own circle of friends and acquaintances.

Immigrants

By “white”, the council is referring to native Dutch people, as opposed to non-Western immigrants. They come from countries ranging from Turkey and Morocco to Surinam and the Dutch Antilles. Smaller non-Western immigrant groups in the Netherlands are from countries including Indonesia, China, Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan. Around 40 percent of immigrants in the country are from other European countries.

In the country as a whole, the total number of both Western and non-Western immigrants combined make up around 16 percent of the population. However, in Amsterdam, just over half the population are not native Dutch.

Dutch phenomenon

The Advisory Council says Amsterdam has been promising for years to improve the balance of the ethnic make-up in its ruling bodies to reflect the city’s population, but virtually nothing has changed.

What’s more, Ankie Verlaan stresses that this is by no means just an Amsterdam problem, but occurs nationwide.

“It’s a typical Dutch phenomenon. You go to university, you join a typical student fraternity with a white culture, and that’s where you know everybody, and all your life they remain your circle of friends, and that’s what you draw on.”
