“… 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. …”

Editorial: Not-so-clean government

The Jakarta Post | Fri, 03/26/2010 9:57 AM | Opinion

The whopping Rp 36 billion (US$3.9 million) in donations that have gone into the coffers of Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) chief Hadi Poernomo during his career as a tax officer has raised many eyebrows.

Not only Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW), but ordinary people with any common sense will be tempted to question his claim that he raised such a huge fortune from his extremely generous parents, siblings and relatives. Hadi, a former tax office chief, amassed Rp 12 billion in the last four years, which he said was mostly from donations.

Donations have become a regular explanation, if not excuse, for a steep increase in public officials’ assets since wealth declaration was made mandatory for the country’s state officials in 1999. The mandatory wealth report was introduced as the country embarked on a fight against corruption, with a hope the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) and the public alike could verify the assets of state officials from the executive, legislative and judiciary branches of power.

That the public control mechanism hardly works may explain that awareness of corruption eradication has been limited to the educated community, but the bulk of the population has remained silent. Or perhaps Indonesian people are culturally so permissive to corrupt practice that it may take the nation one or two generations to uproot graft.

Public participation is key to the nationwide drive against corruption through a simple action called a reality check, which has worked well in the neighboring Philippines, where corruption is as deeply rooted as in Indonesia. Through a reality check, the public may question how a new young tax officer could buy a luxury apartment or middle-ranking police and military officers possess luxury cars and send their children to study overseas.

There are so many blatant facts of the glamorous lifestyle of our state officials and their families around us that should provoke the basic question needed to kick-start a probe into alleged corruption: where has the money come from?

Public announcements of the wealth of state officials are a good start. But little has been heard about the KPK’s efforts to verify the wealth reports. Wealth reports have been reduced to a ceremony to show public officials’ compliance with the law, regardless of their questionable assets.

Tougher regulations are needed to make sure accountable wealth reports, including penalties for public officials who falsify their wealth reports. In the long run, the nation may need to consider shifting the burden of proof to the state officials. It may spark a lengthy debate, as the country’s legal system does not recognize the mechanism, but for the sake of a clean government and good governance such a revolutionary legal reform is worth exploring.
