“… 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. …”

Indonesia’s Inflation Slows to 13-Month Low of 7.92%

Bloomberg, By Aloysius Unditu

April 1 (Bloomberg) -- Indonesia’s inflation slowed to a 13-month low in March, increasing the likelihood of the central bank reducing interest rates this week.

Consumer prices rose 7.9 percent last month from a year earlier after gaining 8.6 percent in February, the Central Statistics Bureau said in Jakarta today. Economists expected a 7.96 percent increase.

Easing inflation may allow Bank Indonesia to cut borrowing costs for a fifth straight month to help stoke consumer demand in Southeast Asia’s largest economy as exports decline. The value of overseas sales may shrink as much as 20 percent this year, Trade Minister Mari Pangestu told Bloomberg News last week. Overseas sales plunged 32.8 percent in February.

“While Indonesia is not suffering the kind of sharp, protracted pull-back in demand experienced by some other economies in this downturn, the externally-led downturn has inevitably taken a toll and led to greater slack in the economy,” said Lim Su Sian, an economist at DBS Group Holdings Ltd. in Singapore. “We see no reason for Bank Indonesia to scrimp on policy accommodation.”

Indonesia’s economy may expand as little as 3 percent this year, the slowest in a decade, as exports slump and commodity prices plunge from record levels, Minister Pangestu said March 26. The Asian Development Bank yesterday forecast growth for the $433 billion economy to weaken to 3.6 percent in 2009 from 6.1 percent last year.

Interest Rates

Bank Indonesia, which cut its benchmark interest rate to 7.75 percent from 8.25 percent on March 4, next meets to decide on monetary policy on April 3.

Consumer prices rose 0.22 percent in March from a month earlier after increasing 0.21 percent in February. Core inflation, excluding fuel prices, was 7.15 percent compared with 7.42 percent in February.

Indonesia’s exports declined 32.8 percent in February from a year earlier to $7.08 billion, the statistics agency also said today. That was less than the median forecast of a 37.2 percent fall in a Bloomberg News survey and the 35.5 percent drop reported in January.

“The slowdown in the rate of export contraction is good news for the government,” said Juniman, senior economist at PT Bank Internasional Indonesia in Jakarta. “Considering that imports are falling faster than exports, the net effect on the economy is even better. We think exports may still drop about 17 percent by year end.”

Imports outside trade zones plunged 42 percent to $4.56 billion, the statistics agency said.
