“… 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. …”

Dutch minister as 'bad cop' in Greek soap

Dutch Finance Minister Jan Kees de Jager did a good job in his role as bad cop during negotiations in Brussels for the latest EU bailout package for Greece.

For a few hours in Brussels on Monday, everyone was talking about Jan Kees de Jager. EU Finance Ministers were in town to finalize a new bailout package for Greece and the mood seemed positive until late in the afternoon Mr de Jager spoke to the press.

"Each side has to assess whether Greece has done enough. That was not so last week. That was also not so the week before."

The deal

Suddenly the deal which had been in the works since last summer appeared to be in jeopardy. But after 14 hours of negotiating, in the wee hours of Tuesday morning, the EU finance ministers, along with the heads of the International Monetary Fund and the European Central Bank, had made a deal with the Greek government.

Sure enough, Minister De Jager’s concerns had been met. Greece will go into a form of receivership, with permanent supervision from the so-called troika (the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund) of all government expenditure. Greece must pass another package of reforms within the next two weeks in order to qualify for this latest bailout, and the 130 billion Euros will be deposited in an escrow account rather than be transferred straight to the government. Finally, the private sector was persuaded to ‘voluntarily’ accept far greater losses than initially was the case.

Bad cop's troika

Mr De Jager played the role of the bad cop this week, even more so than in previous Greek bailout negotiations. The Netherlands by itself, of course, could not fulfill the role of bad cop - Greece is not too concerned with what the Netherlands thinks. But De Jager speaks for a troika of his own, including Finland and Germany. German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble is the real force behind the hardline negotiating position. In the Greek press he is referred to as Mr No and even depicted in a Nazi uniform.

Greek president Karolos Papoulias lashed out at the three hardliners last week: “Who is Mr Schäuble to insult Greece? Who are the Dutch? Who are the Finnish?”

Mr De Jager retorted: "It’s not the Netherlands or Germany that led Greece into its current difficulties. It’s Greece itself and that’s where the solution has to come from."

Hardline to the end

Even now an agreement has been reached, Mr de Jager is staying in his role as hardliner. He is more skeptical than one would expect about the bailout package he just agreed to. Far from ‘selling the package’ to his Dutch audience, he warns that it is still only a temporary solution, good for solving Greece’s financial needs until 2014. Even that is contingent, he reminds us, on the Greek government quickly passing more far-reaching reforms and on parliaments in the three hardline countries ratifying the agreement.

The Dutch parliament is likely to approve the agreement, thanks to support from pro-EU opposition parties, but only after a fierce debate. Mr De Jager’s tough stance is appreciated back home. He remains a popular figure, even as he performs the unpopular task of promising more Dutch taxpayer money to a Greek bailout.

Mr De Jager did have to pay a price in Brussels. After a long night of negotiations, when the Dutch finance minister returned to his hotel for a few hours of sleep, he found himself locked out. Apparently, his card key had been blocked since he had been out of his room so long.
