“… 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. …”

Dutch Buddhists embroiled in sexual abuse scandal: Nos

DutchNews.nl, May 25, 2015

The Buddhist movement in the Netherlands has become embroiled in a sexual abuse scandal after broadcaster Nos reported on several cases where monks and teachers were involved in ‘unacceptable behaviour’ with students going back decades.

Some of the students were minors when the abuse happened and the cases are not confined to one temple, the broadcaster said. In addition, little was done to help the victims when they came forward.

One case centres on a Thai monk, who is said to have abused male pupils since arriving in the Netherlands in the 1970s. He died in 2007.

The monk, named as Mettavihari, was forced to leave the Waalwijk temple where he was based in the early 1980s because of reports that he was harassing a minor, the broadcaster said.

Teachers

Six teachers who worked with Mettavihari went public in a Buddhist paper with their claims about his abuse of pupils earlier this month.

They say they have come forward now because their own research has shown the abuse was wider than thought and that some victims have experienced serious consequences because of it.

The Nos also looked into two other cases. One focused on a Buddhist centre in Middelburg where an Austrian teacher abused several female pupils between 2001 and 2008.

A second centres on a monastery in Makkinga in Friesland, where a leader stepped down after being accused of having sexual relationships with many women, and under-aged girls.

Traumatised

In addition, Buddhist teacher Frank Uyttebroeck told the broadcaster he had been approached by at least five people since 2010 with reports of abuse. Two of whom were so traumatised they have been referred for further medical care.

Nos said the Dutch Buddhist Union (BUN) is only now taking the sexual abuse claims seriously and has written to its 40 or so member organisations urging them to take precautionary measures.

‘I want to tell my story to make it clear that you have to speak out if things are not right,’ said Patrick Franssen, who claims he was abused up to 50 times by Mettavihari in the 1970s from the age of 19. There are some 50,000 to 65,000 Buddhists in the Netherlands.
