“… 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. …”

Gay acceptance grows in the Netherlands, but kissing in public still an issue

The Netherlands has become more accepting of gay and transgender people, but many still find it difficult to witness gay men kissing or holding hands, according to new research by the government’s social policy unit SCP.

‘A lot has changed in 10 years, within society in general as well as in groups who had more issues with acceptance,’ researcher Lisette Kuyper told broadcaster NOS. In particular, the elderly, school pupils and people with strong religious beliefs are more accepting of the LHBT community than they used to be, the report showed.

In 2006, 53% of the population were ‘positive’ about gay men and women but that has now risen to 74%. And the percentage who are negative about gay people has shrunk from 15% to 6%.

People who are members of the Protestant church, or who have a ‘non-western’ background are least likely to accept homosexuality – with 16% and 17% respectively saying they are negative about the LHBT community.

Kissing

Nevertheless, people are still uncomfortable when confronted with two men or women holding hands or kissing, the report showed. Some 29% did not like seeing two men kissing, while 20% objected to women kissing – only 11% object to a heterosexual couple kissing in public.

‘If we are talking about visibility, then things are more difficult,’ Kuyper said.

LHBT campaign group COC welcomed the report but said it shows there is still room for improvement. ‘I want to live in a land where people from the LHBT community can be themselves and walk hand in hand or kiss without being afraid,’ chairwoman Tanja Ineke said.

European ranking

Earlier this month, new figures published by the European Rainbow Index put the Netherlands in 11th place in terms of LHBT rights – a disappointing placement for the country which was the first in the world to legalise gay marriage.

The ranking, topped by Malta, covered 49 European countries. When only EU countries were included, the Netherlands was in 10th place.

This is partly because the Netherlands has no legislation to stop the discrimination of people who are trans or intersexual, and has no separate legislation for hate crimes. In this category, the Netherlands was in 19th place.
