“… 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. …”

Royal Dutch Shell chief executive Peter Voser to retire

Royal Dutch Shell is Europe's

largest oil and gas company

Royal Dutch Shell has announced that its chief executive will step down in the first half of 2014.

Peter Voser, 54, said he wanted to spend more time with his family and that he was leaving for a "change in lifestyle".

Mr Voser was appointed chief executive in July 2009 and has been an executive director since 2004.

The news came as Shell reported first quarter profits of $7.95bn (£5.1bn), up 3.5% from last year.

"After such an exciting executive career I feel it is time for a change in my lifestyle and I am looking forward to having more time available for my family and private life in the years to come," Mr Voser said in a statement on Thursday.

A Shell spokeswoman said the company would seek internal and external candidates for his replacement.

Growth projects

The revelation came as a surprise for investors. Mr Voser is widely credited for turning around the company and transforming it into a leading provider of liquefied natural gas, which now makes up about half of Shell's business.

Commenting on the first quarter results, Mr Voser said: "These results were underpinned by Shell's growth projects, an improvement in downstream profitability, and were delivered despite a difficult security environment in Nigeria."

But he warned that the industry continued to see "significant" energy price volatility due to economic and political turmoil. Revenue was down to $112.8bn in the January-March period from $119.92bn last year.

Shell said total oil and gas production grew to 3.559 million barrels of oil equivalent per day in the first quarter, from 3.552 million in the same period in 2012.

It also said it would increase its first quarter 2013 dividend to $0.45 per ordinary share, up 5% from last year.

"Shell has emulated its rivals in beating expectations for the quarter, although investors are well aware that this is only part of a long game strategy," commented Richard Hunter, head of equities at Hargreaves Lansdown Stockbrokers.

"The volatility of the oil price is a factor which Shell is trying to mitigate over a period of time, whilst the search for a replacement CEO will be an unwelcome distraction.

"Even so, the company remains committed to selective acquisitions, non-core asset sales where appropriate and an extensive project plan which currently numbers 30 in an effort to underpin future production across several energy sources," he added.

Shell has announced investments in a number of projects including a deep-water project in Nigeria and an oil recovery project in Oman. It also agreed to purchase part of Repsol's liquefied natural gas portfolio outside North America. In the UK, it increased its majority stake in the offshore Schiehallion oilfield west of the Shetland Islands.

Earlier this week, it was announced that Shell had beaten France's Total to a £10bn deal to develop the Bab gas field with the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC).

Statoil profits down

Shell's first quarter results were also boosted by proceeds from asset sales, which included sales in its pipeline business in the United States, its liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) venture in Vietnam and the majority of Shell's shareholding in its downstream business in Uganda.

Downstream activities generally refer to the refining of crude oil and distributing its by-products including gasoline, natural gas, LPG and diesel.

Shell's better-than-expected results compared with a 60% plunge in first-quarter profits for Norwegian rival Statoil because of production cuts and operational disruptions after its plant in Algeria was attacked in January.

Net income in the January to March period was 6.4bn kroner ($1.1bn, £0.7bn), down from 15.4bn kroner a year earlier. Revenue also fell in the quarter by 17% to 162bn kroner.

“… 4 - Energy (again)

The natural resources of the planet are finite and will not support the continuation of what you've been doing. We've been saying this for a decade. Watch for increased science and increased funding for alternate ways of creating electricity (finally). Watch for the very companies who have the most to lose being the ones who fund it. It is the beginning of a full realization that a change of thinking is at hand. You can take things from Gaia that are energy, instead of physical resources. We speak yet again about geothermal, about tidal, about wind. Again, we plead with you not to over-engineer this. For one of the things that Human Beings do in a technological age is to over-engineer simple things. Look at nuclear - the most over-engineered and expensive steam engine in existence!

Your current ideas of capturing energy from tidal and wave motion don't have to be technical marvels. Think paddle wheel on a pier with waves, which will create energy in both directions [waves coming and going] tied to a generator that can power dozens of neighborhoods, not full cities. Think simple and decentralize the idea of utilities. The same goes for wind and geothermal. Think of utilities for groups of homes in a cluster. You won't have a grid failure if there is no grid. This is the way of the future, and you'll be more inclined to have it sooner than later if you do this, and it won't cost as much….”
