“… 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. …”

BI cuts key lending rate to 10.25%

Urip Hudiono, The Jakarta Post - 2006-11-08 15:33:46

Jakarta, November 8, 2006 (JP) - Bank Indonesia trimmed its key interest rate by half a percentage point Tuesday to bring it down to 10.25 percent, encouraged by the continuing easing of inflation.

Tuesday's widely forecast rate cut is the fourth of its size since August, following two quarter-point cuts in May and July. The central bank's key rate stood at 12.75 percent at the beginning of the year.

The latest cut is in line with falling inflation, with the economy having recently shaken off the lingering effects of last year's fuel price hike. The inflation rate stood at 6.29 percent in the year to October, compared with double-digit levels during the first months of the year.

The country's economy, badly hit by runaway inflation early this year, has been showing signs of a strong recovery in recent months. The economy grew by 5.3 percent in this year's second quarter as compared to 4.6 percent in the first three months.

BI's Board of Governors said in a statement that the main rationale for the rate cut was the need to encourage higher growth amid the room provided by slowing inflation, particularly with signs of continuing macroeconomic improvements entering the fourth quarter.

The rupiah's recent stability had also supported the rate cut.

Forex analyst Farial Anwar, from Currency Asset Management, said the interest-rate cut would not affect the rupiah's stability as there was still a large spread between the U.S. Federal Reserve's current 5.25 percent rate and rupiah-based bonds.

"The cut in the rate will not cause an outflow of foreign funds. Even if there is an outflow from the forex market, it will be compensated for by in inflows to the recently bullish stock market," he predicted.

BI's latest rate cut certainly kept the markets bubbling, with the rupiah rising to Rp 9,123 per U.S. dollar, and the Jakarta Stock Exchange closing 0.8 percent up at a new record high of 1,654.152.

BI admitted, however, that there could still be a time lag before the banks lowered their lending rates, depending on each bank's policy.

Nevertheless, Jahja Setiaatmadja, the vice president of Bank Central Asia (BCA), the country's third largest lender by assets, said that his bank would lower its lending rates by half a percentage point to some 15 percent on Nov. 15.

Meanwhile, Bank Mandiri spokesperson Mansyur Nasution said that the country's largest lender would also evaluate its lending rates, having reduced them to 13.5 percent for corporate loans and 15 percent for consumer loans.

Industrialists have called for lending rates to come down to 12 percent so as to encourage expansion by the real sector and help increase consumer spending.
