“… 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. …”

Ethics debate unstilled by stemcell success: Nobel laureate

Google – AFP, Olivier Thibault (AFP), 12 November 2012

Japanese Kyoto University professor Shinya Yamanaka (AFP, Patrick Kovarik)

PARIS — Newly-crowned Nobel laureate Shinya Yamanaka on Monday cautioned that stem cells could still spur sharp debate, despite his achievement in creating cells that are not derived from embryos.

The Japanese scientist was interviewed on a trip to Paris after co-winning the 2012 Nobel Prize for Medicine last month alongside Britain's John Gurdon.

Yamanaka was lauded for "reprogramming" mature cells so that they return to a versatile primitive state, called stem cells.

Researchers hope that stem cells may one day provide lab-grown tissue to replenish organs damaged by accident or disease.

Only the very first steps have been taken along this road, but the mission has been boosted by Yamanaka's work, for it implies that stem cells culled from embryos -- until now the most potent but also a highly controversial source -- may no longer be needed.

But Yamanaka warned that his induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS) are unlikely to escape a storm touching on the creation of life.

"Now we can avoid the use of human embryos, so it's good. However, we are facing new ethical issues," he told AFP.

The question, he said, lies with the creation of so-called germ cells -- cells that give rise to sperm or eggs.

"Can we make sperm from blood and can we fertilise these oocytes (eggs)?" he asked. "We really need discussion in society about how much we can do about this new technology."

Yamanaka said scientists in Kobe had already applied to the Japanese authorities for permission to carry out the world's first iPS trial on humans, using cells on patients suffering from retinal disease.

And, he said, Japan was pushing ahead with a stem cell bank, which was approved in July.

"In theory, we can make iPS cells from each patient. But it would be very expensive and take six months to prepare the cells from each patient. So in reality, we cannot do that," he said.

A stem cell bank would be a good alternative, said Yamanaka.

The idea is to choose donors whose DNA profile is least likely to trigger rejection by a patient's immune system.

"We may be able to cover many patients by having only a handful of iPS stock, that's our plan," he said. "By our estimations, we identified 140 such specific donors, (and with these) we could cover up to 90 percent of the whole population."

Some scientists have been cautious about iPS technology, fearing that reprogramming errors as an adult cell is rewound to its infant state, using a batch of introduced genes, could cause tumours.

Yamanaka, 50, carried out his groundbreaking work in 2007, but was quick to pay tribute to Gurdon, who laid the conceptual foundations in 1962.

In 2007, "We thought maybe we will win the Nobel prize in the future if it goes" to clinical trials, he said.

"So we did not expect (it) at this time because it was too early. But we were awarded because of Sir John Gurdon and his discovery 50 years ago... Because of him I was very lucky to be awarded."

"Recalibration of Knowledge" – Jan 14, 2012 (Kryon channelled by Lee Carroll) - (Subjects: Channelling, God-Creator, Benevolent Design, New Energy, Shift of Human Consciousness, (Old) Souls, Reincarnation, Gaia, Old Energies (Africa,Terrorists, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Venezuela ... ), Weather, Rejuvenation, Akash, Nicolas Tesla / Einstein, Cold Fusion, Magnetics, Lemuria, Atomic Structure (Electrons, Particles, Polarity, Self Balancing, Magnetism, Higgs Boson), Entanglement, "Life is necessary for a Universe to exist and not the other way around", DNA, Humans (Baby getting ready, First Breath, Stem Cells, Embryonic Stem Cells, Rejuvenation), Global Unity, ... etc.) - (Text Version)

”… There are several things that are going to happen in mainstream science. First, you're going to find some secrets of DNA and they're going to be embryonic. Start watching scientists discover the embryonic cells and the magic within them. You already know that unusual stem cells exist in the placenta. You also know that the pre-programmed adult stem cells are still there in the body. But what about the DNA of the unborn? (Intellectuals, please keep reading, for to stop now will create unrest.) Second, your work today Yawee, will represent "the perfect template" without using what you did in Lemuria. That's why you're the Human who will do this. It's an extension of why you came here, and is perfect for 2012 and beyond.

These embryonic cells of the unborn are untouchable by society, and they might as well be on Mars, for no science is going to try to use these cells in a 3D manner, which is all you know how to do at this point. If they try, it won't work anyway. There are quantum processes you are learning about that are not only non-invasive, but actually helpful and that can transfer attributes from one biological cell to another and from one Human to another. Think "wireless" [Kryon human again]. What you thought would take wires over 1,000 miles long is now done with satellites. It's an analogy that shows you that you are moving into totally new understandings of the transfer of energy. Let's discuss the mother in that temple for a moment. …”
