"THE BRIDGE OF SWORDS"– Sep 29, 2012 (Kryon Channelling by Lee Carroll) - (Text version)

“… What have we told you about the bridge? Actually, not much except that in crossing the bridge, the old energy ones were not going to like it. Old energy does not want you to escape! Old energy doesn't want you to cross the bridge because it can't cross. Did you know that? It can't cross. The old paradigms of Human nature that you've known all of these millenniums have to stay on the old side of the bridge. It cannot cross, for the bridge rejects all that is not in love, compassion and light. Those things that are dark, including Human nature of the past, will not be able to go. But the ones I speak to right now are already on the bridge. That was your design, old soul, and those are the words that are ringing in your ears to this day and the ones given at the wind of birth, that this might happen in your lifetime. So what's going to happen next?

Swords

Let us talk about the swords: When you hear the word sword, the first thing that occurs to you is battle. The Bridge of Swords is a battle and we told you that as well. Swords are metaphoric and they mean many things, so let us describe the things we mean them to say to you.

Number one: They are indeed a weapon in a battle. There is a battle coming. "Kryon, does that mean there's going to be a war?" Potentially, yes. Right now we will tell you that the Middle East cooks itself. You've noticed, haven't you? What do you know about the Middle East, dear one? Let's start examining things for a moment. What energy did you grow up in? What was the energy of the Middle East? In the '40s, what was the energy? With the establishment of the state of Israel, you built a wall of hate, both sides. The wall was so thick that the children of both sides were taught to hate one another as soon as they were able to understand the language. They were told who their enemies were. Now, where were you then?

Some of you weren't here yet. By the time you arrived, in your youth, were you aware of the Middle East? Not particularly. "What's the hatred about?" you might ask. What if I told you it's about a family feud? Two sons of a Jewish master are involved. One founded the Arabs and one remained a Jew. They don't want to hear this, but they are all Jews. (Don't tell them this.)

If you look at the lineage, it's pretty obvious and yet it's a complete and total set-up for either solution or war. The set-up would have this world ending in a conflagration that would have been brought about by this hatred. That's in the prophecy of Nostradamus and your scripture, but it is no longer the prophecy of the planet. Yet the hatred still exists. The hatred is as great today as it was then, but where was all the terrorism 40 years ago? It was isolated.

Those in Israel and Palestine and surrounding areas took the brunt of it, but now it's seemingly everywhere - and you're worried. Why would this be? The answer is that the old energy was happy to have this hatred contained, for it would keep it going and never involve outsiders. Outsiders tend to bring unwanted light to the party. Suddenly, the whole earth is involved and can see the entire scenario before them. The old guard wants war, just like all the eons before them. The ones on the bridge are holding the light and showing the earth how to cross. Even many younger ones in Israel and Palestine and Iran are holding light! It's all around the old guard and they are furious, for they are losing the "battle of hatred." …”

"The Recalibration of Awareness – Apr 20/21, 2012 (Kryon channeled by Lee Carroll) (Subjects: Old Energy, Recalibration Lectures, God / Creator, Religions/Spiritual systems (Catholic Church, Priests/Nun’s, Worship, John Paul Pope, Women in the Church otherwise church will go, Current Pope won’t do it), Middle East, Jews, Governments will change (Internet, Media, Democracies, Dictators, North Korea, Nations voted at once), Integrity (Businesses, Tobacco Companies, Bankers/ Financial Institutes, Pharmaceutical company to collapse), Illuminati (Started in Greece, with Shipping, Financial markets, Stock markets, Pharmaceutical money (fund to build Africa, to develop)), Shift of Human Consciousness, (Old) Souls, Women, Masters to/already come back, Global Unity.... etc.) - (Text version)

“… 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. …”

Every 90 seconds a pregnant mother dies

RNW, 19 September 2010 - 9:02am | By John Tyler (Photo: ANP)

More than 1,000 women die every day from complications around childbirth or pregnancy - that's one death every 90 seconds. Reducing this number is one of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals, and the Dutch government has made it a priority.

Fatima died giving birth to twins in a hospital in Kabul, Afghanistan. Her husband Ahmed, a security guard, was left to care for their eleven children.

Cristabalina Santos died in her straw hut in a mountainous region of Panama just hours after her 12th child was born. She developed an infection, and her husband could not find enough people to carry her the three hours it takes to reach the nearest hospital.

Snowball effect

A mother's death has a snowball effect, creating a host of new problems, particularly for poor families already facing numerous difficulties.

These problems include lost income is lost, older children having to take on the role of parenting with the result that they drop out of school, and younger children often also moving out of education as families try to fill the financial gap.

As a result, the spiral of poverty deepens.

Maternal mortality remains an enormous problem in the developing world, where the rates are hundreds of times higher than in industrialised countries. And despite the global attention given to the issue, as one of the Millennium Development Goals, things are not improving quickly.

Positive signal

New figures out this week showed some progress, a 34-percent reduction in fact. But with more than a thousand women still dying each day, it is hard to be optimistic. The target of reducing deaths by 75 percent, compared to 1990 levels, is unlikely to be reached by the deadline of 2015.

Even so, the Dutch Ambassador for the Millennium Development Goals, Christiaan Rebergen, remains upbeat:

"For the first time, we see a first positive signal. The Netherlands has done a lot to bring attention to it. It has always been neglected, but you see the last few years its getting more attention."

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon will announce a new plan for improving mother and child health during the upcoming three-day Millennium Goal Summit in New York, starting on 20 September.

Budget cuts

But what happens if leading nations in the fight against maternal mortality, like the Netherlands, start paying less attention to the problem?

Nicole Sprokel is a spokesperson for Amnesty International in the Netherlands. She is concerned that budget cuts necessitated by the global financial crisis will have a negative effect.

"Well there is of course the matter of money. Apart from lobbying governments to abide by human rights, there's the fact that countries like the Netherlands should continue to support governments with adequate technical and financial assistance to assure that obstetric care will continue to be available."

New Government

Many here in the Netherlands fear that a new government will slash the development budget.

Christiaan Rebergen remains hopeful, pointing to the fact that funds for addressing maternal mortality worldwide were actually increased in the UK despite drastic budget cuts. But there are fears that the issue will not receive sufficient attention at the New York Summit.

Play it down

Yvonne Bogaarts is spokesperson for the World Population Fund. She says the summit will publish an agreement, the text of which has already been written and says little about maternal mortality.

Sensitivities about the issue of abortion - unsafe abortions contribute to 15 percent of overall deaths surrounding pregnancy and childbirth - are playing a major role in this, according to Bogaarts. She calls this omission scandalous.

Other non-governmental organisations are critical of the Millenium Development Goals in general. Both Amnesty International and Transparency International say governments’ failure to respect human rights and to tackle corruption are slowing down progress toward meeting the goals.

Could have died

At the upcoming summit, leaders will focus on funding and figures. But of course in the end, the Millennium Development Goals are about helping people.

For instance, people like Safura Musah, a mother of eight children in northern Ghana. Safura could have died during the birth of her ninth child. But thanks

to a new ambulance, a mid-wife who referred her quickly to hospital, and a small loan from the local mosque to pay for the ambulance, Safura made it to hospital in time.

She was fortunate to receive the help she needed. But that day, 1,000 other pregnant women weren’t that lucky.

Maternal mortality in Holland

In recent years, maternal mortality here in the Netherlands has gone up. From 1993 to 2005, 12 mothers died for every 100,000 children born, up from 9.7 in the ten years before that. By comparison, the average maternal mortality rate in Africa is 830 deaths per 100,000 births.

Dutch experts say the higher figures in the Netherlands might be caused by two factors: first, Dutch women are getting pregnant later in life, bringing more health risks. In addition, the number of immigrant women giving birth has gone up. In some cases, immigrants are not sufficiently informed about the health care available to them.

It is not clear what effect the practice of giving birth at home – one in three Dutch babies are born at home - has had on maternal mortality. Official figures indicate it has no effect, and indeed the percentage of home births has not changed that much. The Netherlands has a high maternal morality rate compared to many European countries, but it is almost as high as in France, where most births occur in hospital.

Millennium Development Goals

At the turn of the millennium, member nations of the UN decided to set themselves a number a targets for making the world better.

They chose eight subject areas, and calculated targets to be met by 2015. The targets use 1990 as the base year to calculate how much things should improve.

192 countries and 23 organisations signed up to:

Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger
Achieve Universal primary education
Promote gender equality and empower women
Reduce child mortality rate by 2/3
Improve maternal health - reduce by 3/4 maternal mortality and achieve universal access to reproductive health
Combat HIV/AIDS and other diseases - halt the spread of HIV/AIDS, and by 2010 universal access to treatment for HIV/AIDS
Ensure environmental sustainability
Develop a global partnership for development
