“… 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: microfinance best form of aid

Radio Netherlands Worldwide, 14 January 2010 - 12:37pm, by Myrtille van Bommel

“Microfinance is the best kind of development aid.” That's the opinion of 59 percent of Dutch people surveyed by microfinance organisation Oikocredit. The organisation polled 1000 people on whether development cooperation is necessary. A majority of 52 percent agreed with the statement “aid is more necessary now than ever”.

A spokesman for the organisation, Otto Albrecht, says the results are surprising. "There has been a lot of criticism about development cooperation recently. After 60 years of development aid, there is still a huge gap between the rich and the poor. As a result questions are being asked about the effectiveness of all that aid."

Crisis affects poor

Nevertheless, Dutch people think development aid is needed now more than ever, according to the survey. But no-one has looked into why they think this. "Many people probably realise that the credit crisis is mainly affecting poor people in developing countries, while they are not to blame for it," says Mr Albrecht.

The fact that Dutch people think development aid is important became apparent earlier this year from figures released by the NCDO, the National Committee for International Cooperation and Sustainable Development. The survey on international cooperation showed that two thirds of the population thought it was important or very important to help people in poor countries develop.

An equally large proportion thinks that problems in developing countries are so big that we cannot stand by and watch, without doing something to help.

Personal responsibility

The fact that many people in the Netherlands see development aid in the form of microfinance as the best solution has never been investigated before by the NCDO.

Otto Albrecht explains why almost 60 percent think this. "Dutch people like concrete practical solutions and believe strongly in personal responsibility. Microfinance is a form of aid which gives a concrete loan to a concrete company or shop, so that people can generate their own income. That is completely different to the idea of accepting handouts. Dutch people like these kind of pragmatic solutions, in which people have to do something for themselves."
