“… 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. …”

From one pig -- bacon and 184 other things

CNN, October 24, 2010

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

Dutch artist Christien Meindertsma catalogued all the uses to which one pig was put
She found it was used in everything from toothpaste to dough improver
The pig's heart valves can save a life and its collagen can fill a wrinkle
She says the project showed "we have no clue of what is in the products that surround us"

Editor's note: TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to "Ideas worth spreading," which it makes available through talks posted on its website.

(CNN) -- At first, Dutch artist Christien Meindertsma thought she would pick one cow and document all of the uses to which it would ultimately be put.

"But when I thought about it more, I realized that in the Netherlands you see a lot of cows still standing outside in the landscape, but you never see a pig. I thought that was strange, because there are 12 million of them this very small country. "

So she wound up spending three years tracing the products made in part with pieces of a 228-pound (104-kilogram) pig, known only as number 05049.

Meindertsma, who spoke at the TED Global conference in Oxford, England, in July, published a book, essentially a product catalog of pig 05049's products -- 185 in all.

The book, "PIG 05049," is now in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art. Museum staff supervisor Paul Galloway says the book illustrates "the level of disconnect, physically and psychologically, consumers have from the production of objects we use on a daily basis."

For an earlier project, Meindertsma catalogued and photographed more than 3,000 items confiscated at airport security in the Netherlands after the 9/11 attacks.

Among the uses of pig 05049, according to Meindertsma, are certain varieties of the following products:

Soap, shampoo, conditioner, cosmetics and toothpaste;
Dough improver, which uses proteins from pig hair;
Gelatin, which is used in low-fat foods as well as in cheesecake, vanilla pudding, chocolate mousse and tiramisu;
Beer, wine and fruit juice, which can be filtered by using a gelatin sieve to clear out impurities;
Bone china and paint, paintbrushes and sandpaper;
Collagen to remove wrinkles and pig heart valves to replace defective human valves.

"What I learned from doing it is that the product world is more complicated then you can imagine and that we have no clue of what is in the products that surround us," she told CNN. "Even if you are genuinely interested in what is in your products, it is extremely difficult and often impossible to find out."

"The reason that I find this important is because I think we have a responsibility in what we consume, but it is hard to make a good choice when you have no idea of what is in a product.

"But, even without this knowledge, consumers could have a lot of power to change these systems if they wanted to. Companies just want to make a profit so if the demand changes they will start making other products.

"If consumers would make a choice to buy products that are transparent in what they are and who made them, that could be the standard."
