“… 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. …”

Inadequate care forcing dementia sufferers into homes early, says charity

Alzheimer's Society says avoidable admissions to care homes and hospitals will cost taxpayer £70m a month

guardian.co.uk, Randeep Ramesh, social affairs editor, Tuesday 25 January 2011 06.00 GMT

The cost of caring for people with dementia to the taxpayer is
set to soar as the population ages, the Alzheimer's Society warns.

Sub-standard care will mean 50,000 people with dementia will be forced into care homes earlier than necessary, racking up a preventable monthly bill of £70m to the taxpayer, a report warns today.

Most people with the condition prefer to live and be cared for at home, but the Alzheimer's Society said there was inadequate help for everyday tasks such as shopping, washing and dressing.

The result, the charity said, was that some people would end up in care homes and tens of thousands more would be admitted to hospital unnecessarily.

A survey of patients and care workers painted a picture of neglect for many. In the current climate of spending cuts, the society predicted the situation would "get much worse".

Half the carers questioned said the person with dementia was not receiving sufficient care and support and said people were being left bedridden, wearing unchanged incontinence pads and malnourished.

At least as many care workers said they were being put at risk of "stress, depression and other serious illnesses" because they were being left to struggle unsupported.

Jeremy Hughes, chief executive of Alzheimer's Society, said it was "an absolute travesty that so many people with dementia are being forced to struggle without the care and support they need. The consequences of this represent an unacceptable human and financial cost."

There are 750,000 people living with dementia in the UK, two-thirds of whom live in their own homes, with the remainder living in care homes. Dementia costs the UK £20bn a year, but this is likely to rise rapidly as more people develop the condition in an ageing population.

The care services minister, Paul Burstow, said more money was not necessarily the answer: "This is not about spending more, it is about spending better. We know we are already spending at European levels but not achieving the right results."

Delia Fox cared for her husband Bill, who had dementia until he died last year. She now gives talks to Alzheimer's Society carer groups, and said: "Trying to get help with caring for Bill was an absolute nightmare. Even after he was left bedridden following a hospital stay, social services refused to provide any support. I was able to get some care privately, but this was nowhere near enough and I had no choice but to become a 24-hour carer.

"Bill eventually died at home, which is what he would have wanted, but the end of his life could have been so different had we had the right support. He wouldn't have ended up in hospital, he could have walked for much longer and wouldn't have been stuck in bed."
