“… 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. …”

Why do Dutch people convert to Islam?

Radio Netherlands Worldwide, 3 February 2010 - 4:00pm, by Michel Hoebink

Jacob van Blom, a born and bred Rotterdamer, has bright blue eyes and a full red beard. He is a Feyenoord supporter and runs his own business. Eleven years ago, he converted to Islam.

He says people falsely view Islam as a "foreign culture" that has nothing to do with the Netherlands, but "if you separate the core belief from the cultural aspects, you're left with a beautiful belief that is true for everyone".

Why do Dutch people convert to Islam? And why do others view them with hatred and suspicion?

"There is no God but Allah and Mohammed is his prophet," as Jacob recites the Muslim profession of faith, his eyes shine with love. "I was raised as a Christian, but I always had my own ideas. In Islam, I discovered a theory for what I had always believed. It fitted perfectly with what I thought about God".

Greek Orthodox Church

Jacobs’s wife Stefanie Danopoulos also grew up in Rotterdam. Her Dutch mother and Greek father raised her in the Greek Orthodox Church. Initially, she wasn't at all happy that her husband had converted to Islam, but eventually she converted as well.

Stefanie: "When my husband announced that he was converting, I thought that he'd gone mad. You only hear bad things about Islam from the media, so that's how I thought as well. But then I started learning more about Islam and that changed how I feel".

Stefanie’s family is gradually coming to terms with her, "They were extremely negative at first, but after a few years they realised that I hadn't changed that much. I'm just a bit calmer now than I was before. Greek Orthodox people are extremely religious and some of them are just happy because I do at least believe in God".

9/11

However, society at large isn't as understanding. After the 9/11 attacks on the United States, Stefanie, who wears a headscarf, was spat at several times. Despite that, they both feel that it is important that their clothing reflects their faith. "I don't care if people stare at me in the street. I am a true believer and people can see it in the way I dress".

Jacob says he knows that conversion to Islam makes some people frightened or anxious. "Dutch people have been living on this bit of the planet for centuries and have developed a rich society and culture. I can imagine that people aren't too happy if a dominant culture suddenly takes root in the middle of all that".

Hofstad Group

When asked about the Hofstad Group, a group of radical Muslims who were convicted of planning attacks in the Netherlands and whose leader, Mohammed Bouyeri, murdered filmmaker Theo van Gogh in 2004, Jacob dismisses them as "teenagers acting out".

"It was just a group of isolated teenagers. If they were here in the Feyenoord stadium, people would say they were hooligans. Muslim extremists, hooligans, it's all the same thing".

Jacob says the fear of Islam is primarily due to a lack of information, "here in the Netherlands we just don't know the simple basics about Islam. That's also true within the government and the police and security services. I think that's so sad. That's how you make people afraid".
