“… 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. …”

Women want more female appointees in Dutch cabinet

RNW, 11 October 2010

The new Dutch cabinet has too few women ministers, according to a number of prominent Dutch women who spoke to several media.

European Union Commissioner Neelie Kroes

Of the 20 ministerial and deputy ministerial positions in the incoming rightwing coalition, only two are likely to be filled by women. The Infrastructure Ministry will be led by Melanie Schultz van Haegen and the Health Ministry by Edith Schippers.

Queen Beatrix

Prime Minister-designate Mark Rutte, who is 43, has surrounded himself with elder statesmen from his free-market liberal VVD party and from the Christian Democrat CDA. There are no ministers or deputies from the anti-Islam Freedom Party, although the party has committed itself to supporting the new minority coalition in the Lower House. The new cabinet is expected to be sworn in by Queen Beatrix on Thursday.

Speaking to the daily AD, Mayor Annemarie Jorritsma of the new town of Almere said, "Half the Dutch are female and that should be visible in politics too." Her views are reinforced by a former Christian Democrat minister, Hanja Maij-Weggen, who said that the men who formed the government failed to look for female candidates. "They are old and wise enough to find a couple of good women," she said.

Strong women

European Union Commissioner Neelie Kroes, a member of Mr Rutte's VVD party, said she was "deeply disappointed. It is most regrettable. This cabinet in particular needs strong women." She called for a minimum number of female cabinet members.

"They are there, no doubt. One third of the current European Commission is female. [European Commission] President Barosso specifically stated he wanted a large female presence so he went looking for female commissioners," Ms Kroes told Dutch broadcaster NOS. "Naturally, he had no difficulties in finding them".

"It's so much more efficient if you work in a diversified team", she added. However, she has no plans to return to The Hague to take up a cabinet position herself. "I simply can't leave my job in Brussels, which is far too important to give up".

Medieval times

Ciska Dresselhuys, former editor-in-chief of feminist monthly Opzij told reporters, "It's back to mediaeval times. I hadn't expected this from a young prime minister like Mr Rutte, who holds his old mother in such high esteem". And never one to mince her words, Edith Snoey, chair of the AbvaKabo union, denounced the lack of women in high positions as "ridiculous".
