“… 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. …”

RI exporters yet to adapt to ACFTA

The Jakarta Post, Sat, 04/03/2010 9:53 AM

Too close for comfort?: Indonesian Trade Minister Mari Elka Pangestu (left) talks with her Chinese counterpart, Chen Deming (right), while the chairman of the China Committee at the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Kiki Barki, listens at a meeting in Jakarta, on Friday. The meeting was aimed at strengthening trade relations between both countries and to discuss plans to renegotiate the ASEAN-China Free Trade Agreement. Antara/Prasetyo Utomo

The free trade agreement between ASEAN and China (ACFTA) has been cited as not being been “effective” for Indonesia as imports from China surged in the first two months of 2010 over the same period last year.

The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) announced Thursday that non-oil-and-gas imports from China surged by 55 percent to US$2.79 billion in the first two months of this year, from $1.8 billion in the corresponding period last year.

According to BPS data, non-oil-and-gas goods from China topped Indonesia’s imports, contributing 18.58 percent to the total non-oil-and-gas imports.

However, non-oil-and-gas imports from China decreased slightly by 1.8 percent from $1.41 billion in January to $1.38 billion in February, while Indonesia’s non-oil-and-gas exports to China were worth $986.2 million in February, down 2.4 percent from $1.01 billion in January, the data shows.

BPS chief Rusman Heriawan said declines in both Indonesia’s non-oil-and-gas exports to and imports from China were a result of both countries’ traders using an older trading mechanism that was not under the ACFTA.

“The ACFTA was initially expected to boost exports to China and imports [from China]. Apparently, it did not [happen that way],” Rusman said at a conference at his office.

“In February, which was expected [to see the ACFTA come into

effect], the ACFTA was in fact not [effective yet]. This means businesses have not responded to the ACFTA yet.”

In the initial phase of implementation of the ACFTA that came into effect early this year, the government scrapped 6,682 tariff lines in 17 sectors, including 12 in the manufacturing sector and five others in the agriculture, mining and maritime sectors.

An influx of manufactured products from China is expected accordingly. Indonesian exports to China (mostly are raw materials) will consequently enjoy zero duties, unlike China, which exports mostly manufactured products.

Indonesia exports mostly liquefied natural gas, as well as mining and agriculture commodities (including coal, bauxite, crude palm oil and cacao) to China.

Separately, Trade Minister Mari Elka Pangestu said it was more important to have Indonesia’s non-oil-and-gas exports to China continuing to grow than to have a surplus trade balance, despite the presence of the ACFTA.

She also said there was “good” news in bilateral negotiations between Indonesia and China in regard to the ACFTA in response to local manufacturers calls for renegotiation.

The results would be announced Saturday in Yogyakarta, when Indonesian and Chinese delegations are due to hold a joint commission meeting.
