“… 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. …”

Volcano impact: As Dutch orchids wilt, New Zealand business blooms

CNN, by Kevin Voigt, April 20, 2010

Nervous wedding planners in the U.S. who can't get Cymbidium Orchids from Dutch suppliers due to volcano-related delays are turning to growers in New Zealand.

New Zealand salmon supplier: "The volcano plays very nicely for us"

(CNN) -- When Grant Rosewarne walked into his New Zealand office on Monday morning and saw an order for salmon from a distributor in Dubai, he thought it was a typo.

"They typically order five cartons," said Rosewarne, CEO of New Zealand King Salmon, a fish farm. "On Monday they ordered 500 cartons."

Airborne ash may have restricted salmon supplies from Norway and other northern European nations, but for Rosewarne and his 420 employees, the distant Iceland volcano has brought an unprecedented boom in business, as customers around the globe try to keep salmon on restaurant menus and store shelves.

"We're all working overtime; for the first time we may add weekend shifts to keep up with demand," said Rosewarne, whose company is now shipping 200 tons of salmon to fine-dining restaurants and retail stores in Japan, Southeast Asia and the Middle East.

As Tuesday dawned in Europe, hopes grew that more airspace would be opened to relieve the backlog of passengers and cargo held up since the eruption of a volcano under Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull glacier last week.

But the volcano -- which has cost the airline industry an estimated $200 million a day in lost revenues and hobbled the cargo and tourism industries -- is bringing a windfall to some businesses in distant New Zealand, the island nation some 11,000 miles from western Europe.

For example, worried brides in North America are bringing business to flower growers and distributors in New Zealand.

"The phone started ringing hot from the East Coast of North America this week," said Greg Keymer, managing director of Eastern and Global, a cut-flower exporter in New Zealand.

"We are getting strong inquiries for Cymbidium Orchids as the Dutch shippers out of Holland can't supply the North American start of the May wedding market," Keymer said.

"I'm getting calls from Toronto, Chicago, New York and Quebec," Keymer said. "We normally don't start exports until late May when the Dutch start to ease off production. Wish we had more to send right now."

As the disruption of travel from the Icelandic volcano illustrates how interdependent world business has become across borders, the uptick in business in New Zealand also shows the resilience of an interconnected, global economy.

For Ann Chiu of Brighten Floriculture in Hong Kong, a shortfall in shipments from Holland is easily remedied by a call to other growers in New Zealand, Taiwan and China.

"We can't get Cymbidiums from Holland until later this week, we're told, but we can get them elsewhere," Chiu said. "Customers won't notice in the market."

For Rosewarne of King Salmon, the rush of orders has been a salvation after the global financial crisis cut into orders for the company's premium brand of salmon, which is typically sold to upscale restaurants. The company's salmon farms take three years to harvest the fish -- the current stock was started in 2007 before the financial crisis hit.

"We had 500 tons of spare fish we thought we were going to have to freeze and try to sell in Japan, so the volcano plays very nicely for us," he said.
