“… 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. …”

Egypt’s ‘Lady Guards’ on Call for Rich Arab Women

Her hair neatly tucked under a Muslim headscarf, Dawlat al-Amine practices aikido regularly in a Cairo gym where she and her female colleagues learn martial arts to protect other women.

The black-clad “lady guards” provide a niche service to women who have broken through the Arab world’s glass ceiling and achieved fame and fortune, but who feel they cannot resort to male protection out of deference to the region’s conservative mores.

The leader of neighboring Libya, Muammar Gaddafi, is famous for his female bodyguards, dubbed Amazons. But clients of the “lady guards” include Egyptian actresses and pop divas, as well as princesses and wealthy businesswomen from the oil-rich Gulf.

“We were the first to create a service of lady guards, for several reasons,” said Cherif Khaled, managing director of Falcon group, which first launched the service three years ago.

“Women in Egypt now have been able to break into different fields. They have become businesswomen, lawyers, judges, even marriage officials,” he said.

But, Khaled added, even when women do break through, they ignore the conservative traditions of a male-dominated society like Egypt at their peril.

“At the end of the day, we are a Middle Eastern society. When a woman passes through a security check, she prefers to be searched by a woman rather than by a man,” he said. “When you are dealing lady to lady, things are much easier.”

The Falcon group, a subsidiary of Egyptian bank CIB, employs 3,800 security personnel, providing services ranging from personal protection to cash transfer to security systems. In 2008, the company made net profits of 13 million Egyptian pounds ($2.4 million).

It has some 300 female guards on its register, all of whom have been put through rigorous training in martial arts and “static surveillance” skills.

“I like the idea of protecting VIPs and the idea that I can defend myself anywhere at any time,” Amine said. “It is important for me to be able to protect my integrity.”

Although Amine, 20, wears a jilbab, it is not a compulsory part of the uniform. She says her work has given her a sense of power and status in a country where women often fall victim to male discrimination or harassment.

Falcon advertises regularly in the Egyptian press. Recruits must be between 20 and 35, and have gone through higher education and have martial arts skills. All are put through medical and psychological tests, including an assessment of their conflict management skills. English speakers have an edge.
