“… 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. …”

Singer and actor Ramses Shaffy, who died on Monday morning, was a larger-than-life figure who left a lasting impression on the Dutch cultural scene.

He was born in 1933 in the Paris suburb Neuilly-sur-Seine, the son of an Egyptian diplomat and a Polish countess of Russian descent. When he was six years old his mother contracted tuberculosis and he was sent to stay with an aunt in Utrecht. He was subsequently taken into care and ended up in a foster home in Leiden. The childhood trauma of leaving his mother is commemorated in his song Trein naar het noorden (Train to the North).

In 1952 he was accepted into the Amsterdam school of drama despite not having finished secondary school. He never graduated, but nevertheless made his debut with Nederlandse Comedie theater-company in 1955.

In 1964 he formed his own theatre company Shaffy Chantant, which presented a new type of cabaret for the time with literary, poetic and mildly erotic material.

Ramses Shaffy became enormously popular as a singer in the 1960s and into the 1970s. His music from this era has become firmly embedded in the Dutch canon of popular culture.

He was also notorious for his bouts of excessive drinking but he gave up alcohol for a while in the 1980s when he became a follower of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh. However, he left the commune to return to acting, appearing in major roles on stage, as well as film and television.

His health began to deteriorate after years of severe alcohol abuse and he suffered Korsakoff-like symptoms, although this was never diagnosed.

He spent the last years of his life in a nursing home in Amsterdam, where Pieter Fleury made a documentary film about him, showing a confused and shaky old man. His health and his memory improved, however, and he made occasional public appearances and even made the hit parades again. In 2006 he was awarded the first Edison Oeuvre Award for the Performing Arts.

In May 2009 it was announced that he had been diagnosed with cancer of the oesophagus. His last public performance was in October 2009. He died peacefully in his sleep at the age of 76.
