"THE BRIDGE OF SWORDS"– Sep 29, 2012 (Kryon Channelling by Lee Carroll) - (Text version)

“… What have we told you about the bridge? Actually, not much except that in crossing the bridge, the old energy ones were not going to like it. Old energy does not want you to escape! Old energy doesn't want you to cross the bridge because it can't cross. Did you know that? It can't cross. The old paradigms of Human nature that you've known all of these millenniums have to stay on the old side of the bridge. It cannot cross, for the bridge rejects all that is not in love, compassion and light. Those things that are dark, including Human nature of the past, will not be able to go. But the ones I speak to right now are already on the bridge. That was your design, old soul, and those are the words that are ringing in your ears to this day and the ones given at the wind of birth, that this might happen in your lifetime. So what's going to happen next?

Swords

Let us talk about the swords: When you hear the word sword, the first thing that occurs to you is battle. The Bridge of Swords is a battle and we told you that as well. Swords are metaphoric and they mean many things, so let us describe the things we mean them to say to you.

Number one: They are indeed a weapon in a battle. There is a battle coming. "Kryon, does that mean there's going to be a war?" Potentially, yes. Right now we will tell you that the Middle East cooks itself. You've noticed, haven't you? What do you know about the Middle East, dear one? Let's start examining things for a moment. What energy did you grow up in? What was the energy of the Middle East? In the '40s, what was the energy? With the establishment of the state of Israel, you built a wall of hate, both sides. The wall was so thick that the children of both sides were taught to hate one another as soon as they were able to understand the language. They were told who their enemies were. Now, where were you then?

Some of you weren't here yet. By the time you arrived, in your youth, were you aware of the Middle East? Not particularly. "What's the hatred about?" you might ask. What if I told you it's about a family feud? Two sons of a Jewish master are involved. One founded the Arabs and one remained a Jew. They don't want to hear this, but they are all Jews. (Don't tell them this.)

If you look at the lineage, it's pretty obvious and yet it's a complete and total set-up for either solution or war. The set-up would have this world ending in a conflagration that would have been brought about by this hatred. That's in the prophecy of Nostradamus and your scripture, but it is no longer the prophecy of the planet. Yet the hatred still exists. The hatred is as great today as it was then, but where was all the terrorism 40 years ago? It was isolated.

Those in Israel and Palestine and surrounding areas took the brunt of it, but now it's seemingly everywhere - and you're worried. Why would this be? The answer is that the old energy was happy to have this hatred contained, for it would keep it going and never involve outsiders. Outsiders tend to bring unwanted light to the party. Suddenly, the whole earth is involved and can see the entire scenario before them. The old guard wants war, just like all the eons before them. The ones on the bridge are holding the light and showing the earth how to cross. Even many younger ones in Israel and Palestine and Iran are holding light! It's all around the old guard and they are furious, for they are losing the "battle of hatred." …”

"The Recalibration of Awareness – Apr 20/21, 2012 (Kryon channeled by Lee Carroll) (Subjects: Old Energy, Recalibration Lectures, God / Creator, Religions/Spiritual systems (Catholic Church, Priests/Nun’s, Worship, John Paul Pope, Women in the Church otherwise church will go, Current Pope won’t do it), Middle East, Jews, Governments will change (Internet, Media, Democracies, Dictators, North Korea, Nations voted at once), Integrity (Businesses, Tobacco Companies, Bankers/ Financial Institutes, Pharmaceutical company to collapse), Illuminati (Started in Greece, with Shipping, Financial markets, Stock markets, Pharmaceutical money (fund to build Africa, to develop)), Shift of Human Consciousness, (Old) Souls, Women, Masters to/already come back, Global Unity.... etc.) - (Text version)

“… 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. …”

Rare Rembrandts to Leave France Too Cash-Strapped to Retain Them

Two paintings by Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn may leave France without as much as a whimper as the country says it’s too broke to buy them.

With the government’s coffers bare, France’s culture ministry is letting banking tycoon Eric de Rothschild export the masterpieces, paving the way for a sale that could fetch more than 150 million euros ($163 million), according to estimates. Under French law, major artworks can’t leave the country without the state’s permission. If the country denies permission, it must buy the art within 30 months.

“The state must have the necessary financial capacity to buy any proposed art works,” and as “the purchase was seen to be difficult, the ministry along with the museum, allowed the export,” an official at the Louvre museum said in an e-mailed response to questions. “In this particular case, a purchase was unthinkable.”

With the government vowing spending cuts of 21 billion euros in 2015, it said it had no choice but to say au revoir to the portraits of Marten Soolmans and his fiancee Oopjen Coppit. The artworks have been owned by the Rothschild family since the mid-19th century and are now the property of the wine-making baron who produces Chateau Lafite Rothschild, an iconic Bordeaux. He’s a member of the board of the Friends of the Louvre, a fundraising group.

The Louvre discussed the Rembrandts with Rothschild for a year before renouncing them, citing a lack of funds, according to the official. President Francois Hollande’s government ruled out using state funds, appealing to donors or starting a public fundraising campaign.

“It’s not just that the state and the Louvre couldn’t buy them, they didn’t even try!” Didier Rykner, editor-in-chief of art magazine latribunedelart.com’s said by phone.

The culture ministry didn’t respond to queries on why it didn’t find other means to retain the paintings.

Exceptional pieces

The two paintings are exceptional, even for Rembrandts. The artist rarely painted full-length portraits, and most of his work today is in museums — including in Stockholm, Detroit, Baltimore, Zurich and Frankfurt — and not in private hands.

The artworks may end up in Amsterdam’s Rijkmuseum. Gregor Weber, the museum’s head of fine and decorative art, was non-committal when asked if it wants to add to its large collection of the Dutch master’s works.

“We are always looking if something is for sale,” he said. The 150 million-euro price tag is in line with the market, he said.

A spokeswoman for Rothschild’s wine business in Paris said the baron’s decision was private, declining to comment further. An official at auction house Christie’s International, which latribunedelart.com reported was commissioned by Rothschild to ask for the state waiver, said it doesn’t comment on clients and their collections.

Rothschild’s ancestors have been regular art donors to the French state, which even held an exhibition about the dynasty at its national library in 2012, praising them as “emblematic patrons of the art tradition.”

Others buying

It’s not the first time France has let major artworks leave its borders, leading to a sale. In 2013, an unidentified France-based family sold Dutch master Gerrit van Honthorst’s 1623 masterpiece “The Concert” to the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC.

“What a shame for France,” said Rykner. “The Netherlands, the UK are all buying national treasures and the state claims it’s broke? What a defeat. Meanwhile US museums are shopping.”

The UK’s National Gallery and its Scottish spin off completed the purchase of a 95 million-pound ($152 million) Titian pair of paintings in March 2012.

“We have been able to secure both of them for the public, in a period of economic hardship, because of the esteem and affection that both institutions have enjoyed for many decades,” Nicholas Penny, the gallery’s director, said in a speech after the purchase.
