“… 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. …”

After 10 years, the Rijksmuseum is almost open! What the papers say

On the 13th of April, Amsterdams' Rijksmuseum will open its door after a 10-year rennovation programme. According to the newspapers it was worth the wait.

The Volkskrant is jubilant. ‘Perfection has been reached almost everywhere’ it writes. After ten years of cogitating, head scratching, restoring and categorising, looking for cohesion and meaning the Rijksmuseum has done it’, the paper says.

Objectives

Ten years was a long time, the paper admits, but they were needed to marry a number of objectives: displaying the history of the Netherlands through art and keeping happy the foreign visitor who wants to see great art but is not necessarily interested in its place in Dutch history. Another challenge, VK writes, was to form a cohesive whole out of a collection that originated in widely varied donations and legates.

The paper provides some statistics as well: the renovation took ten years, one year more than it took to build the Rijksmuseum. The original budget was €272.5m; the renovation ended up costing €375m. The main building is 44,500 square metres, with an exhibition space of 21,500 square metres. The route past all the exhibits is 1.5 kilometres long.

Wondrous

Trouw headlines its article with ‘Wondrously beautiful and oh so familiar’. ‘Is this going to be a story full of superlatives?’, the papers asks itself before going into raptures about ‘how beautifully arranged together!’ the Vermeers are.

But, the paper adds, the real dazzler is the combination of the paintings and the building. The harmony between the two is well, wondrous to behold. ‘The Rijksmuseum feels good. It makes you happy’, Trouw writes.

NRC has the only dissenting voice in the chorus of contentment. It quotes 76 year-old architect Moshé Zwarts who dislikes the museum’s ‘intense and Catholic character’.

‘We are talking about the most important museum in the Netherlands. Great Dutch artists like Rembrandt and Frans Hals would turn in their graves if they knew where they’d been all this time,' the paper quotes him as saying. 'People laugh when I say this but I mean it. And what has this renovation done? It is emphasising the museum’s Catholic character even more’.

Curatorial revolution

‘At last. There they were, all my old friends, missed these past 10 years, propped up against the wall, waiting their turn to be back where they belonged: on the walls of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam’, historian Simon Schama writes in the FT.

Schama, who calls the renovation ‘exhilarating brilliant’, praises the museum’s director of exhibits Taco Dibbets and it general-director Wim Pijbes for having achieved a ‘curatorial revolution’.

‘When you see those early Rembrandts or the great mannerist ‘massacre of the Innocents’ of Cornelis van Haarlem with its ballet of twisting rumps, you will also encounter, as would those who would first have seen them, the silver, the weapons and cabinets that were the furniture of the culture that made those pictures possible. You will enter the Netherlands at a particular moment’.
