You're going to see a total phase-out of old energy dictatorships eventually. The potential is that you're going to see that before 2013.

“… 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. …”

ADB and Germany Launch Initiative to Address Asia's Urban Challenges

MANILA, PHILIPPINES - ADB and the German Government today launched a joint initiative that will help improve the lives of up to 200 million people in Asia's growing cities.

The new Cities Development Initiative for Asia (CDIA), announced at the end of a conference on Investing in Asia's Urban Future, will support local governments in implementing their urban development efforts. Partnering ADB in holding the meeting was the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).

At the conference, more than 100 representatives of municipal, local, provincial and national agencies dealing with cities joined donors in finding new ways to improve the living conditions of the 1.6 billion people in Asia’s cities. Among the clear messages to donors was the need for more flexibility in their approach to assisting city development and tailoring their investments to the needs of local communities.

“Our goal is to bring about lasting improvements in the living conditions of the urban poor, to limit negative environmental consequences of urban growth, and to make use of cities' potential for national development,” Karin Kortmann, Parliamentary State Secretary at the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development and ADB Governor for Germany, told the conference.

Hailing the move as an important step forward, ADB Vice-President Ursula Schaefer-Preuss said CDIA would prove an innovative way to build new investments of up to $10 billion in Asia's cities in sanitation, urban transport, waste management and other urban infrastructure.

“We believe that a well-coordinated, multi donor initiative can contribute significantly toward improving the living conditions of people in Asian cities,” she said.

“The long-term outcomes for the CDIA will be improved incomes and a better quality of life for Asia's urban citizens. The CDIA will also reduce the impact of city growth on the global environment.”

CDIA will focus on supporting cities for better urban management through support of national urban strategies, fostering the role of cities in sustainable development, assist in the implementation of city development strategies, structuring and preparing investment projects and building local capacity for more effective implementation. The initiative will also cooperate with existing networks for sharing and adopting best practices.

Klemens van de Sand, Commissioner for Asia at the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, summarized: “The idea of the initiative is broader than to facilitate investments: CDIA should develop into a center of excellence based on common goals and contributions by all actors involved.”
