“… 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. …”

Sri Mulyani Aims For Overhaul of Indonesia's Bureaucracy

Claiming to have improved the performance of the Finance Ministry’s bureaucracy, the government plans similar reforms in 12 other state institutions next year, Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati said on Friday.

The agencies targeted include the National Development Planning Board (Bappenas), the Attorney General’s Office, the National Police, the Defense Ministry and the Justice and Human Rights Ministry, she said at a briefing on bureaucratic reform at Sahid Jaya Hotel in Central Jakarta.

To gain ground in the crusade against bribery and corruption within state institutions, Sri Mulyani said, the government would focus on nine programs, including increased pay for civil servants, management reform, the eradication of overlapping duties and retooling human resources.

The government, she noted, had already raised civil servant salaries by 21 percent to a total of Rp 161.7 trillion ($17.14 billion) to make officials less susceptible to graft.

“People equate reform to better remuneration. Reform is not only about remuneration,” Sri Mulyani said.

“Many employees complain that salaries are insufficient,” Sri Mulyani said, adding that though salaries are small, most civil servants receive stipends and perks, such as cars so they can perform their duties and living allowances. But stipends are sometimes not equally distributed, she said.

“The state might pay too much to an employee who does little besides joining flag-raising ceremonies. Salaries should be set based on workload and risks.”

She acknowledged that investigations within her ministry had resulted in disciplinary sanctions for 1,961 personnel. They had also revealed a host of methods used to transport bribes.

“Money was being carried in socks, among other methods. At least 150 employees were dishonorably discharged,” she said, adding that punishments also included demotion.

The Finance Ministry collects 75 percent of the country’s revenue, mainly from income and excise taxes. Sri Mulyani has won renown for her courage in reassigning thousands of employees and for overseeing a complete overhaul of the directorates general within the ministry, namely those overseeing customs and excise, state treasury and taxes.

The finance minister also stressed the need for strict supervision and zero tolerance of violations like bribery that could bring down organizations and destroy the public’s trust.

At the same briefing, Home Affairs Minister Gamawan Fauzi noted that part of the problem was employees occupying positions they were not qualified for, with many taking top positions simply because of seniority.

“After being given that [top] position, only then does the person go back to school to meet the needed criteria. They should be qualified first before occupying the position,” Gamawan said.

The State Ministry for Administrative Reform has set 2011 as the target to conclude the bureaucratic reform programs.
