“… 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. …”

UK Ministers confirm end of default retirement age

BBC News, 13 January 2011

The Default Retirement Age (DRA) is to be phased out this year, the government has confirmed.

The CBI had called for the change to be
delayed for a year

It means employers will no longer be allowed to dismiss staff just because they have reached the age of 65.

The Department for Business said that as well as benefiting individuals, "the freedom to work for longer will provide a boost to the UK economy".

Employers had called for the changes to be delayed for a year to allow greater legal clarity over the plans.

Presently, firms can use the DRA to make staff retire at 65.

Ditching the DRA was first proposed by the coalition government in July last year - largely to tackle issues around the ageing population and the shortfall in pension savings.

And it has now been confirmed following a consultation process.

"Retirement should be a matter of choice," said Employment Relations Minister Edward Davey.

Justification

The change means that from 6 April, bosses will not be able to issue any notifications for compulsory retirement using the DRA procedure.

Between 6 April and 1 October, only those people who were told before 6 April, and who are due to retire before 1 October, can be compulsorily retired using DRA.

Finally, after 1 October, employers will not be able to use DRA to force staff to retire.

However, although the government is removing DRA, individual employers will still be able to operate a compulsory retirement age "provided that they can objectively justify it".

The Department for Business gives two examples of where this might be the case - for air traffic controllers and police officers.

It added that it had worked with conciliation service Acas to provide comprehensive guidance for companies on the removal of DRA.

'Uncertainty'

Employer groups had called on the the government to delay introducing the change.

Last month, the CBI warned that firms faced "huge uncertainty" and a greater risk of unfair dismissal claims unless there was more legal clarity over the plans.

It said that the law on unfair dismissal needed to be made simpler ahead of the scrapping of the DRA.

The group added that the ageing population and the shortfall in pension savings made it inevitable people would want to work for longer.

"However, in certain jobs, especially physically demanding ones, working beyond 65 is not going to be possible for everyone," said the CBI's deputy director general John Cridland.

"The DRA has helped staff think about when it is right to retire, and has also enabled employers to plan more confidently for the future."

He said a legislative void was opening up with the scrapping of the DRA.

"In the majority of cases this will not be an issue, but in a minority it will be a serious problem for all concerned," he said.

Unions have also demanded "clear guidance" from both employers and workers to raise awareness of what protection from unfair dismissal and age discrimination older workers will have.
