“… 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. …”

Vietnam Holds First Gay Pride Parade

The first gay pride parade in communist Vietnam took place in the capital Hanoi on Sunday with dozens of cyclists displaying balloons and rainbow flags streaming through the city’s streets.

Organised by the city’s small but growing Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) community, the event went ahead peacefully with no attempt by police to stop the colorful convoy of about 100 activists despite their lack of official permission.

“There was no intervention which is a good thing for Vietnam,” said one of the organizers, Tam Nguyen.

She said the parade had helped unite the LGBT community and raise awareness among “curious” onlookers, although many had no idea what the rainbow flag — an international symbol for LGBT groups — symbolized.

The cyclists attracted no hostility — and only a little attention — as they made their way down Hanoi’s busy streets.

“Vietnamese society supports us, supports this rally — I have come out already and I have never had any problems,” Hung Culif, 22, told AFP at the start of the event.

The parade follows recent gay pride celebrations in Myanmar and Laos, reflecting tentative signs of liberalizing social attitudes in parts of Southeast Asia.

Homosexuality remains largely taboo in Vietnam, where Confucian social mores — with their emphasis on tradition and family — still dominate.

Gays are routinely portrayed in the media as comical figures or as people suffering from a condition that can be treated.

But in a surprise move late last month, Justice Minister Ha Hung Cuong said that it might be time to consider a change in the law to recognize same-sex marriage.

Vietnam currently forbids same--sex unions. Any move to legalize gay marriage would make Vietnam the first nation in Asia to do so.

The cyclists voiced strong support for the possible legal changes, shouting “we support same--sex marriage” and calling for equal rights for gays and lesbians.

“There is a lot of attention on gay rights issues now,” Le Minh, 21, said as she attached a rainbow flag to her bicycle.

“There were [many] questions about gay marriage at the recent National Assembly session. It is really good for the community,” she said.

Activists said they had modified the parade route after coming under pressure from police to avoid sensitive areas of the capital where anti-China demonstrations were taking place. Vietnam tightly restricts demonstrations.

“We don’t have permission for this and even if we had asked for official permission it would not have been possible” to obtain, said Van Anh, 51. “But we have a lot of support from Vietnamese society.”

Gays and lesbians in Vietnam still suffer from discrimination — particularly from family members — she said, adding that the pride parade and the possible marriage law change could help break down social stigma.

“As the National Assembly is now considering this, we hope that they will amend the law [to allow gay marriage], which would be a very positive thing for Vietnam, for Vietnamese culture,” she added.
