“… 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. …”

Syria expels Dutch undercover journalist

The authorities in Syria have thrown Dutch undercover reporter Maarten Zeegers out of the country. Maarten Zeegers had secretly written a number of articles on the uprising in Syria – all published anonymously for his personal safety - for Dutch newspaper NRC Handelsblad and Belgian Dutch-language daily De Standaard. The Syrian authorities no longer allow foreign journalists into the country.

Maarten Zeegers had been living in Damascus for two and a half years, and was studying Islamic law at the university there.

Undesirable alien

Despite all his precautionary measures, his activities had clearly come to the attention of the authorities who detained him when he went to renew his visa. Speaking to Dutch radio, he said it was then that he found out he had been declared an ‘undesirable alien’. He was handcuffed immediately, taken away, forced to spend five hours in jail amid criminals and drug users and finally put on an evening flight to Turkey.

Betrayed

Mr Zeegers says he was handled reasonably well by the Syrian police, but that it soon became clear that foreigners may expect better treatment to that meted out to Syrians. His guards had done little else but shout at him until they discovered he had a European passport and that the Dutch embassy was aware he had been detained. This led to an immediate change in attitude.

It’s not known how the Syrian authorities found out about his journalistic activities. He says he was aware of the risks and had been carrying out his work with as much caution as possible. His articles have all been published with the credit “by one of our reporters”. All this leads Maarten Zeegers to believe that someone betrayed him to the Syrian security service. As he told Dutch radio:

“When you interview someone, you have to say what you’re going to do with the information. And if you happen to say that to the wrong person on one occasion, well, then you’ve had it.”

New openness

Maarten Zeegers had established a fairly extensive network of contacts while studying in Syria. This put him in a good position to provide good journalistic coverage of the uprising. However, much of what he experienced has shocked him:

“I have seen things I’d never seen before in my entire life. Security forces gunning down peaceful civilians. That’s not a pretty sight. But it’s a good thing that [people] know exactly what’s going on in Syria.”

Although by no means all Syrians are taking part in the uprising, Mr Zeegers has noted one significant change in the country: Syrians in general have become more open and dare to criticise the regime more than they ever did before: “That would still have been unthinkable just a short time ago.”
