“… 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. …”

Amsterdam canals on UNESCO World Heritage List

The centre of Amsterdam is to gain a place on the UNESCO World Heritage List next month. The UNESCO World Heritage Centre’s Deputy Director Kishore Rao announced the decision during the official designation as world heritage of the Wadden Sea, the area of tidal channels and mudflats off the northern Dutch coast.

Amsterdam has been working to win world heritage status for its 17th century centre since 2006. Locations on the list can obtain UNESCO funding for maintenance or to restore damage. But more significantly for Amsterdam, the world heritage tag is a source of prestige, and boosts the location’s status as a tourist destination.

Amsterdam’s world heritage zone will be the area around its central ring of canals, the Herengracht, Keizersgracht and Prinsengracht. The three waterways run in parallel around the city centre to form a semicircle, giving the city centre its characteristic half-moon shape when seen from the air. Many of the canal houses date from the Golden Age, Amsterdam’s 17th century boom years.

Argument

Amsterdam’s application to UNESCO has not passed without argument over the past few months. The World Heritage Centre made a series of additional demands, some of which Amsterdam agreed to. A controversial plan to rebuild the 17th century Herring Packers’ Tower, demolished in 1829, was scrapped because UNESCO insists on authenticity on World Heritage sites. But Amsterdam turned down a UNESCO proposal to leave the Weesperstraat – a busy duel carriageway widely seen as the ugliest street in the city – outside the protected area. Even though the original buildings were flattened to widen the road in the 1950s and 1960s, the city council says much historic architecture still survives in the surrounding streets.

The Friends of Amsterdam City Centre Society (VVAB) has welcomed the World Heritage status. The society told Amsterdam-based daily Het Parool it hopes more tourists will now be attracted by Amsterdam’s culture and museums instead of its soft-drug coffeeshops and red light district. But there are those who oppose the move, such as publicist Rogier van Kralingen, who fears the protected status could turn the city into a lifeless museum. “The UNESCO way of thinking is at odds with the plans to make Amsterdam into a creative metropolis,” he says.

Amsterdam city centre will be the ninth Dutch site to make the World Heritage list, which also includes the Rietveld Schröder House in Utrecht, the windmills of Kinderdijk-Elshout and, on the other side of the Atlantic, the old town of Willemstad, on the island of Curaçao in the Netherlands Antilles.
