“… 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. …”

Banks to benefit from oil, gas firms

Alfian, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Thu, 11/20/2008 10:42 AM

In an attempt to help shore up the liquidity of the country's banking sector, upstream oil and gas regulator BPMigas will soon require oil and gas operators to use domestic banks to facilitate their multi-billion operations.

Included in the domestic banks are foreign banks operating in Indonesia, BPMigas chairman R. Priyono said Wednesday.

"This policy aims to increase our banks' liquidity. As the oil and gas sectors use many dollars, it will also boost dollar liquidity in our domestic banks. It will have positive effects on our banks' balance of payments," Priyono said during a discussion on the economic crisis and its impact on the oil and gas sector.

Priyono said the regulation could be put in place as soon as next month and would be mandatory, applying to both national and foreign oil and gas operators.

"Oil and gas operators must use domestic bank services, otherwise their expenses will not be reimbursed under the cost recovery scheme," Priyono said, adding that BPMigas had the authority to issue such a regulation.

Priyono said oil and gas operators might spend about US$11.8 billion next year. "We hope all of the transactions for these funds will be through our domestic banks."

Oil and gas companies spent about $10.56 billion in 2007. As of October this year, they have spent about $9.2 billion.

The BPMigas proposal received mixed reactions from oil and gas players.

President of the Indonesian Petroleum Association Roberto Lorato, who was also a speaker in the discussion, said he could not comment on the proposal, saying that investors and the government needed to discuss further on the matter.

Roberto, however, said oil and gas investors were "starting to feel less comfortable within the last 12 months".

"They are starting to feel less comfortable, because they perceive a number of changes, or sometimes there are simply rumors about changes to production sharing contracts, about changing part stakes and about changing cost recovery provisions, which are affecting investors comfort on what they have signed for and on what they will get," Roberto said.

Lukman Mahfoedz, project director at domestic oil and gas operator PT Medco Energy, said that his company had been using domestic bank services and was quite satisfied with them. He went so far as urging domestic banks to also take part in financing investment in the upstream oil and gas sector.

"Medco plans to spend about $300 million on its projects in 2009. It would be very good if domestic banks could participate in some of these projects."

With an average capital adequacy ratio (CAR) of about 16 percent, domestic banks are believed to have stronger foundations than they had during the 1997 crisis. However, data from the central bank shows that domestic bank lending for the energy sector is quite small.

As at the end of August 2008, outstanding loans for the energy sector stood at Rp 41.6 trillion ($4.2 billion), or about 3.5 percent of total bank credits disbursed.
