“… 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 maritime companies merge after all

NRC International, 12 November 2009 16:50 |

Dutch salvage company Smit International has given up its opposition to a take over by the Dutch-based international dredging company Boskalis, the companies announced Thursday.

The dredging company (10,200 employees, turnover 2.2 billion euros) is taking over Smit International based (3,600 employees, turnover 708 million euros) in a 1.35 billion euro deal. The takeover should not cost any jobs.

At the end of last year, Boskalis tried to take over a division of Smit which provides harbour services for oil and gas terminals, but was met by strong opposition. Subsequent attempts to incorporate the whole of the Smit company also failed.

Boskalis CEO Peter Berdowski said Thursday there is no longer any question of breaking up Smit. All its activities will be continued. Ben Vree, current CEO of Smit will join the supervisory board of the merged company.

The merger creates a “Dutch maritime player of global stature,” said Berdowski. “The development of our profit margins brought the two companies together." Both companies have been hit by the economic crisis. Smit had already stopped taking on more staff and Boskalis lost projects worth 450 million euros, including the building of a port in Dubai.

“By investing less in dredging and more in salvage Boskalis wants to improve profits,” said Berdowski. He called Smit’s towing services a “pearl of growth”, as it has done relatively well in spite of the downturn in transhipment in the ports of Rotterdam and Antwerp.

In the last three weeks, merger negotiations speeded up when it became apparent that Boskalis was prepared to not break up Smit after the take over. Berdowski: “We looked deep into each others eyes. Both Ben Vree and myself changed our tunes and decided we could create more synergy together.”
