… 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. …

Máxima: world's poor need access to funding

Radio Netherlands Worldwide, 25 January 2010 - 1:54pm, by Wim Jansen

HRH Princess Máxima

Princess Máxima of the Netherlands has appealed to the international community to allow people in poor countries easier access to financial services. Microcredit, which enables poor people to set up their own small businesses, is important. But what is more important is that they become, at the micro-level, a full-blown component of a healthy financial system.

The princess was speaking at a microfinance meeting in the Peace Palace at The Hague [video: address by HRH Princess Máxima] organised by Radio Netherlands Worldwide. "What I would like to make clear here is that we are inclined to focus on loans, while other financial products like savings are possibly more important for poor people."

High costs

Princess Máxima is special advisor to the United Nations Secretary-General on universal access to financial services. She pointed out that the effects of microcredit are not always all that clear. Because the loans are involved are tiny, the banking costs are relatively high. And the recipients do not always realise what the implications of a loan may be.

Journalism

This was the theme explored earlier on at the meeting by RNW's editor-in-chief Rik Rensen. He pointed out that we must not be blinded by the success stories. Microfinance only works for people who can deal with the accompanying responsibilities, and a great deal can be learned from the mistakes of others. "We intend to use journalism on this theme to bring people from different parts of the world into contact with each other."

Who profits?

Dutch Development Cooperation Minister Bert Koenders said when he spoke at the debate that it was Radio Netherlands Worldwide's "core business" to alert recipients of microfinance and the general public to the central issue of the meeting: "Who profits?" There are banks and other organisations in this sector too which are just out to make quick profits. In the meantime, the minister promised, he will work hard to improve access to financial services in poor parts of the world.

Microfinance will be the central theme to RNW broadcasts via radio and the internet from now - January 2010 - and through the rest of the year. In doing this, RNW intends to bring the subject back into the spotlight, drawing the attention of a mass international audience to the opportunities and difficulties involved in microfinance.

In addition to this debate, RNW has made videos showing how microfinance works in practice around the world. During the event at The Hague, one of those portrayed in these videos, tortilla baker Linda Flores from Nicaragua, spoke on how microcredit changed her life.

The programme for 25 January 2010 - hosted by Vanessa Mock, RNW EU correspondent in Brussels - was as follows:

  • Word of welcome by Mr Jan C. Hoek, Director General of RNW
  • Introduction by Mr Rik Rensen, Editor-in-Chief of RNW
  • Video portrait and interview with Ms Linda Flores, micro-entrepreneur in Nicaragua, by Mr José Zepeda, RNW Head of the Latin American section
  • Opening speech by HRH Princess Máxima of the Netherlands
  • Keynote speech by the Netherlands Minister for Development Cooperation, Mr Bert Koenders.
  • In his address (full text), Mr Koenders commented that this debate hosted by RNW has shown that microfinance has come of age.
  • Intermezzo by comedian Mr Erik van Muiswinkel
  • Interactive panel discussion with Mr Abureza Faisel Rahman (Managing Director of Fair Finance, UK), Mr Klaas Molenaar (President of EMN, Netherlands), Ms Maria Nowak (President ADIE, France) and Mr Fazle Hasan Abed (President BRAC, Bangladesh)
  • Intermezzo by comedian Mr Erik van Muiswinkel
