“… 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. …”

Disappointment over cancellation of Indonesian president's visit

Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has cancelled his state visit to the Netherlands at the last possible moment. He had already boarded the plane which was to take him to the Netherlands when he decided to take the advice of his ambassador to the Netherlands and cancelled the visit. What went wrong in the communication between The Hague and Jakarta? And could this embarrassing political situation have been avoided?

"Extremely unfortunate" is how former foreign minister Ben Bot would describe the confusion regarding the Indonesian president's visit. It was intended as the crowning event of the current good relations between the two countries. Mr Bot told Radio Netherlands that "A postponement is extremely regrettable".

The visit was cancelled because of summary proceedings filed against the president by the Republik Maluku Selatan (Republic of the South Moluccas) - a movement seeking to win independence from Indonesia for the Indonesian group of islands. The RMS accuses the Indonesian president of human rights violations.

International law professor Hikmahanto Juwana from the university of Jakarta believes the president should not have given in to these 'separatists'. The professor says President Yudhoyono now runs the risk that the RMS will again file a lawsuit whenever he plans to visit another foreign country. “We have to ensure he can visit any country.

Sensitivities

Former minister Ben Bot spoke to the Indonesian ambassador on Monday evening. Mr Bot is aware of the sensitivities involved and says he can understand the president’s decision: “Because of his status, it would be impossible for him to explain to local media and politicians why he would visit a country where he is the subject of a law suit. It would be highly embarrassing for him.

In the Netherlands, the RMS movement forms a relatively small, radical group within the Moluccan community. The vast majority of Dutch Moluccans no longer strive for independence. However, Mr Bot warns that few people in Indonesia are aware of this fact.

Unwise

According to Mr Bot, the fact that a bunch of agitators’ can request an arrest warrant, and that much importance is attached to this, is incomprehensible to Indonesians. Even when it is a foregone conclusion that such a warrant would never be issued.

Professor Hikmahanto Juwana says it’s nevertheless unwise that the Indonesian president should have cancelled his visit. The Netherlands has done enough to convince President Yudhoyono that he would not be arrested. Indonesia is not involved in a conflict with the Netherlands, but with the RMS.

Emotions

However, there is more to the issue than meets the eye. The RMS and affiliated groups intended to hold a demonstration against the presidential visit in The Hague. Mr Bot feels that taken together with the ongoing formation of a new cabinet supported by Geert Wilders' Freedom Party, the situation included just too many uncertain factors. That’s when emotions start playing a part. Uncertainty arises about what might happen and how it would affect domestic politics and the position of the president.

Diplomacy

Ben Bot argues it is therefore not a matter of failing Dutch diplomacy. Relations between the two countries are excellent. And the Netherlands has done what it could to reassure the Indonesian president, but sensitivities do play a role. In Indonesia, with its predominantly Muslim population, the political role of Geert Wilders is regarded with great suspicion.

Mr Bot argues that The Netherlands will have to invest in explaining the domestic political situation. We need to emphasise that the Netherlands continues to respect fundamental rights and the constitution, and that the freedom of religion is not up for discussion.

Powers of persuasion

Professor Hikmahanto Juwana is convinced that something did go wrong on a diplomatic level. Apparently the Indonesian foreign ministry was unable to persuade the president. It was his decision, but he could not have taken it without information from others. Apparently it fell short.

Moluccans in the Netherlands

Moluccans - descendants of native residents of the Moluccan islands
Ambon - a South Moluccan island
religion - most Moluccans in the Netherlands are Christians
when - Moluccans arrived in the Netherlands from 1950
why - they fought with the Dutch army against Indonesian independence fighters

While Indonesia was a Dutch colony, Moluccan soldiers served in the Dutch army, attempting to crush Indonesian moves towards independence.

When Indonesia declared independence in 1945 and the Dutch colonial army was finally disbanded in 1949, the Moluccans emigrated from their native island of Ambon to the Netherlands. The Dutch government had promised that their exile would be temporary and that they could return to their islands in the Indonesian archipelago later.

The Moluccans, who are mainly Christian, were settled in temporary refugee camps. They later moved to town estates where they formed tight-knitted communities. To this day, some families have a packed suitcase ready by the door, in anticipation of a return to the Moluccan Islands.

An attempt in 1950 by the South Moluccan islands to secede from Indonesia failed, and the South Moluccan Republic (RMS) settled in exile in the Netherlands.

First generation Moluccans firmly believed that one day they would return; the second generation lost faith in the Dutch government's promises and some turned to train hijacking in order to force the Dutch government to act on their word. The third generation is said to have settled firmly in the Netherlands.

President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said on Thursday that the Dutch trial, which was held when he was due to be flying to the Netherlands, was subject to the "fastest court hearing delay in the world." (EPA Photo/Bagus Indahono)
