“… 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. …”

A Dutch Touch in the Heart of Little Norway

Kitsap Sun, By Rachel Pritchett, November 15, 2009 at 11:31 p.m.

Emile Goossens loads his plate up with food in his wife Moud’s shopping cart. The Goossens, from Port Orchard, were two of some 100 people who came out to try some of the Dutch dishes being presented at the Marina Market 10th annual Dutch Days open house in Poulsbo.

How do you tell if someone’s Dutch?

“If it’s free, they’ll be there,” said Sijtze De Jong of Sequim.

Said Willem Prins of Port Ludlow: “Handsome, good-looking. Look in the mirror and that’s me.”

“You can’t really tell ’til they open their mouth,” said Ayna Meppelink of Olalla.

One thing is for sure: The Dutch are friendly.

Little Norway changed its persona for a couple of hours Sunday afternoon as the Marina Market, for the tenth year, hosted Dutch Days. It’s an authentic culinary spread made special-order for those Nederlanders among us.

Some 100 of them suffered through the dank November weather to meet up at the market. They came from Olalla, Olympia and off the boats, too, for cups of some erwtensoep (split-pea soup) to ward off the cold, some brandnetel kaas (nettle cheese) on crisp toast for something heartier, and some appeltaart (apple tart) to chase it all down.

The fact that the boterstaaf, a pastry, got held up in customs was no damper.

“Het is hier heel gezellig (It is very cozy),” Meppelink said.

But they also supped on Indonesian foods like curried eggs and yellow rice with spicy sauces, their heritage intersecting with Indonesia from when it was a Dutch colony.

Marina Market owner Andrea Rowe said she turns the place Dutch each year in gratitude.

“It’s a thank-you to my customers,” said Rowe, whose store serves boaters from nearby marinas when not going Dutch.

The folks who turned out Sunday knew each other well.

They get together in one of their homes about once every two months or so, to eat and remember the good old days back in Holland.

“Geez, I hated the place,” said De Jong, who bolted out of the Netherlands at 19 to come to the United States, where he had an engineering career.

Meppelink, a teacher, missed the closeness of neighbors back in the old country, which she left at 23.

“People would just knock on your door and come in for coffee,” she said.

All are fiercely American now.

Prins, born in Indonesia and the son of a rubber plantation owner, came via the Netherlands to the States at age 50. His longtime employer, Holland America Line, sent him first to New York and then Seattle.

“The best move I’ve ever made in my life,” he said about leaving the old land.

Nobody seemed to know exactly how many persons with Dutch in ’em live in western Puget Sound.

One thing’s for sure.

“The Dutch are everywhere,” announced De Jong.

Olie Bollen, a Dutch donut with powdered sugar fried in oil, was one of the most popular foods on hand Sunday during Marina Market’s 10th anual Dutch Days open house in Poulsbo.
