“… 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. …”

Doing business in Bahrain ‘nearly impossible'

RNW, 16 March 2011, By RNW News Desk

Dutch expat Matthijs Bos says the unrest in Bahrain is affecting everybody on the island. “Doing business has become difficult, hotels are sitting empty and tourism is dead. We used to get four cruise ships a week, but they have all stayed away.”

Bahrain has declared a state of emergency after weeks of demonstrations for political reforms by the island's Shia majority. Security forces are engaged in a brutal crackdown on the demonstrators, at least five of whom were killed when the riot police cleared the central Pearl Square in the capital Manama on Wednesday morning. The unrest is mainly focused in Pearl Square and the business district, but clashes have also occurred in other parts of Bahrain. “It now takes me 90 minutes to get from one side of the island to the other. Normally that’s a 20-minute drive.”

Too far

Matthijs Bos says he understands why a state of emergency was declared. He says that the situation escalated in the past few days and that more and more violence was being used. “I think that many people feel that a hard core of demonstrators have taken things too far. They occupied the Bahrain Financial Harbour, the business district, which of course hampers the economy. Many businesses have already left for Qatar or Dubai.”

Until recently, Mr Bos was the manager of a number of restaurants, and was also involved in setting up a number of new businesses for a major catering company. He says the unrest has brought the whole economy to a standstill. “There are quite a few people who have lost their jobs – just like me.”

“I’m staying”

The Dutch foreign ministry has advised against all travel to Bahrain and recommends Dutch citizens already in the country stay indoors as much as possible. Matthijs Bos says he sees no reason to leave. “I’m staying. If I can find a new job, of course. We’ll just have to wait and see how the situation develops. We will probably see a lot of violence in the next few days, but I don’t expect I will be in any danger.”

Mr Bos says he would have left if he had a wife and children, but not now. “There is no way I’m leaving. Bahrain is a beautiful country; people here are quite open-minded and friendly. Even the people taking part in the protests are very hospitable. Expats have alittle to do with the problems here.”
