“… 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. …”

Amsterdam prepares to paint the town orange for new king

AMSTERDAM — Amsterdam was preparing Monday to paint the town orange ahead of the enthronement of king Willem-Alexander, with millions across the Netherlands geared up to say farewell to a much-adored queen after 33 years.

Willem-Alexander, 46, his future queen Maxima, 41, and their three young daughters arrived to cheers from onlookers and press at Amsterdam's Nieuwe Kerk for a final dress rehearsal on Monday.

The 600-year-old church on Tuesday will be the scene of Willem-Alexander's investiture as the first Dutch king in more than 120 years following the abdication of his mother, Queen Beatrix, 75, earlier in the day.

The day's ceremonies will be attended by those waiting in line for thrones around the world, including Britain's Prince Charles, Spain's Prince Felipe and Japan's Prince Naruhito and his wife Crown Princess Masako, who is on her first trip abroad in nearly seven years.

Some fanatics were preparing to spend the night on Dam Square, a stone's throw away from the royal palace where Beatrix will sign the act of abdication.

"We want to spend the night here because we want a great view of the balcony scene," Reina Reyes, a Venezuelan who has been living in the Netherlands for a decade, told AFP.

"We are big fans of the Dutch royals and the fact that Maxima is from South America is also special for us," Reyes, 59, wearing a bright orange outfit with an orange crown with the inscription "Maxima" written on it.

Her husband Asarubal was wearing a similar outfit with a crown that said "Willem-Alexander."

Some of the 10,000-strong police contingent to be deployed around the city used bomb-hunter sniffer dogs and inspection mirrors to ensure the safety of the expected 25,000 orange-clad onlookers who will cheer the royals as they appear on the palace balcony.

Municipal workers were doing a final clean-up around a huge stage erected for hundreds of photographers and television cameras wanting to film the balcony scene.

"We will do everything to ensure that people can enjoy the day in a safe way," Amsterdam's mayor Eberhard van der Laan said at a final press conference on Sunday evening.

Authorities on Monday closed off Amsterdam airspace for civilian aircraft for three days and strict orders prohibiting the use of drones on Tuesday have been placed, with rooftop snipers which will monitor the situation.

"The most important places around Amsterdam will continuously be searched throughout Monday night," Dutch army Major Ruud de Jong told AFP.

Amsterdam's population is set to double with at least 800,000 visitors flooding the city's streets and canals which will be decked out in yet more orange, the official colour of the Dutch royal house.

Pointing to the magnitude of the occasion, Prime Minister Mark Rutte said: "This is a large-scale event in every way and had to be organised in only three months," after Beatrix announced her abdication in January.

"Amsterdam will be the orange capital of the world," Rutte said.

Elsewhere in the city, some 1,000 people took part in final rehearsals for the so-called "Koningsvaart", the water pageant planned for Tuesday night where the new king and queen will sail on the city's Ij river, greeting adoring crowds along its banks.

Official farewells to Beatrix, who is to become princess again, include a sumptuous gala dinner in her honour held at the city's landmark Rijksmuseum on Monday evening.

Famed for its Dutch masterpieces such as Rembrandt's "Night Watch", the museum was closed to visitors in anticipation of the dinner which will include royals and other high-ranking dignitaries.

The Dutch and other invited royals and dignitaries are to sit down to the dinner in the museum's Eregalerij (Gallery of Honour), in the shadow of the "Night Watch".

The queen's farewell speech will be broadcast on national television on Monday evening.

Meanwhile, ordinary Dutch citizens are also preparing to get into the swing of things with traditional "Koninginnenacht", or Queens's Night, celebrations planned all over the Netherlands.

In many city centres around the Netherlands including The Hague, Rotterdam, Arnhem and elsewhere, live entertainment and dance parties are being put up, while in many neighbourhoods street parties and concerts are being planned.

"The new king is ready, the Dutch are ready and Amsterdam is ready," said mayor Van der Laan.
