“… 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. …”

Microfinance, who profits?

Radio Netherlands Worldwide, 26 January 2010 - 1:41am, by Eric Beauchemin

Microfinance should not stand alone, it needs to come as part of a rounded policy aimed at fighting poverty effectively. This is the opinion of Princess Máxima of the Netherlands, wife of the country's future king, as expressed in her address at the RNW Microfinance, who profits?event held in the Peace Palace in The Hague on 25 January 2010.

Other speakers at the meeting included Dutch Development Cooperation Minister Bert Koenders. His speech was followed by a lively debate with four prominent figures from the world of development and microfinance.

Another high point came in the form of a live interview at the Peace Palace with Linda Flores, a tortilla baker from Nicaragua, who has been able to improve her life and that of her family through microfinance. Before speaking to the meeting in English, Princess Máxima started out by addressing Linda Flores - in Spanish - to thank her for her frank and refreshing expression of her thoughts and views.

The event also featured two comic intermezzos by Dutch comedian Erik van Muiswinkel, who held a mirror up to those present at this well-attended afternoon as he reflected on various issues, including the differences between the developed and developing world, in an amusing performance.

The debate with the four panel members was also opened up by presenter and host Vanessa Mock to those in the hall and beyond. Microphones were available for those wishing to present their views from the floor, whilst the social network site Twitter presented a live feed of views coming from further afield. 'Microfinance doesn't work in a time of crisis' and 'microcredit serves no purpose if you don't provide the recipients with financial training too', were just two of the positions up for discussion at the RNW-hosted event.

At the end of the meeting, RNW Director General Jan Hoek gave a commitment - with the firm support and authority of Editor-in-Chief Rik Rensen - that Radio Netherlands Worldwide will not forget the issue of microfinance. Both promised that in the years to come, the subject will continue to feature strongly in RNW's output across all the media platforms on which it operates.
