“… 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. …”

Zwarte Piet banned in Amsterdam official celebrations: only sooty Piets allowed

DutchNews, November 4, 2016

No controversial blacked-up Zwarte Piets will be present at Amsterdam’s official Sinterklaas celebration, according to ANP.

The Sinterklaas in Amsterdam foundation (SSIA) has decided instead that Sinterklaas’ helpers should have their faces daubed with chimney soot, representing the modern tale that they climb down chimneys to deliver presents.

Spokeswoman Pam Evenhuis told the news agency that Amsterdam mayor Eberhard van der Laan knew about the decision, but that they had been hoping to keep it a surprise until the celebration on Sunday 13th November.

Last month broadcaster RTL said that only ‘chimney Piets’ would be shown on its festive television broadcasts.

UN rights

The children’s ombudsman Magrite Kalverboor said in September that the modern character – blacked up and with thick, red lips and frizzy wigs – contributed to ‘bullying, exclusion or discrimination’ and contravened the UN rights of the child.

Earlier this week, Amsterdam chocolate maker Tony’s Chocolonely – which campaigns for cocoa grown without slave labour – said it was also for ‘a slave free Sinterklaas’, adding in a poem: ‘Is this a country free of racism, where skin colour doesn’t matter?/Then Piet has sooty cheeks as he has to climb down the chimney.’

In 2014 Amsterdam said three-quarters of its Piets were blacked-up, and half last year. A quarter were expected to remain ‘traditional’ this year until the leak.

‘Favourite ZP moment’

In October 2013, van der Laan wrote to Amsterdam city council members saying that the presentation of Zwarte Piet ‘can lead to racism’ and although it was a question for the people, officials ‘can do their best to lead the discussion along the right lines, so that Sinterklaas is a festival for everyone’.

But polls show the majority of Dutch people support the blacked-up Zwarte Piet and the Dutch Telegraaf has launched a campaign asking people to send in photos of their favourite moment celebrating the character.
