“… 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. …”

Netherlands hosts first-ever exhibit of royal trains

Expatica, 01/05/2010

Doors with gilded handles leading to an Art Nouveau lounge, Louis XV-style furniture and a 148-year-old locomotive: remnants of some of the world's oldest royal trains are on display in the Dutch city of Utrecht.

From Britain, Ireland, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, the Czech Republic and Portugal -- the trains were brought together for the first-ever exhibition of its kind, opening to the public in the Dutch Railway Museum on Thursday.

Entitled: "Royal Class, regal journeys", the exhibition was officially opened by the Dutch monarch, Queen Beatrix, who arrived for the occasion in her own private train from The Hague.

Hosted in a colonial-era station, the exhibition starts with the Dutch royal family's 19th century waiting room at The Hague Central Station, restored in Utrecht with all its wood panelling and a fireplace decorated with tiles made from the Netherlands' famous blue-and-white glazed Delft pottery.

A green train constructed in 1862 for the Portuguese queen Maria Pia is the only specimen on show in its entirety.

A gift from her father, Italian king Victor Emmanuel II, the 33-metre-long (36-yard) train comprises the steam locomotive and its tender (a compartment that held the coal and water), the queen's carriage and another wagon.

Based on horse-drawn coaches: Queen Adelaide's saloon car (Britain, 1842)

The queen's coach -- lavishly upholstered in gold and red velvet and cream-coloured silk brocade, has a sleeping compartment with a porcelain toilet and a separate compartment for her attendants.

The smallest wagon in the exhibit, all of 6.4 metres long, is also "the oldest preserved royal wagon in the world," museum curator Jos Zijlstra told AFP.

Constructed in 1842 for the excursions of the English queen Adelaide, it resembles an old-fashioned stage coach and included an innovative feature: a foldaway bed.

The saloon coach built in 1910 for Austrian archduke Franz Ferdinand has more modern trimmings: electric lighting and steam warming, a separate toilet compartment and a bedroom with two beds.

It was on board this wagon that the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne travelled to Sarajevo in June 1914, where he was assassinated in an act that sparked World War I.

In contrast to much of the pomp and splendour, the two blue wagons of the former Dutch queen Juliana, mother of the incumbent, are more sober: the 1950s style bathroom and kitchen reminiscent of an average middle-class house of the era.

Getting the wagons to The Hague required "massive logistics", said Zijlstra.

"Some came via railroad," he said -- including the lounge and restaurant wagon of Belgian king Albert, dating from 1912.

Opening 'Royal Class, vorstelijk reizen' (20-04-2010)

In the king's dining room cart, furnished in the style of Louis XV complete with cream-coloured wood panelling, a dining table is set for ten people with silverware, plates and wine glasses.

The lounge, with two armchairs and a white couch, is in the Art Nouveau style.

Some of the wagons "were so fragile that they were hoisted onto removal trucks with huge cranes", or had to be transported by ship, said Zijlstra.

Bringing the trains to the Netherlands and the renovation work cost "about EUR 550,000 (USD 750,000)," added the museum's financial director Marina de Kanter.

The exhibition is open to the public until 5September.
