“… 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. …”

Corruption Threatens Indonesia’s Economic Rise: IMF

Jakarta. The International Monetary Fund warned on Friday that Indonesia must make fighting corruption a priority if it wants to build on its progress as one of the world’s best-performing economies.

Southeast Asia’s biggest economy expanded by 4.5 percent in 2009, the third fastest in the Group of 20, and is poised for accelerated growth in the years ahead, the IMF said in an annual report.

But it said foreign investors who are needed to fund Indonesia’s expansion into a regional powerhouse would be cautious until more is done to fight rampant corruption and improve the rule of law.

“A decisive and successful response, as well as a decade of sound policies and structural reform, helped Indonesia recover quickly from the 2008 global crisis,” the report said.

“However, lingering concerns over weak enforcement of the rule of law, transparency, and governance issues, weigh on market perceptions. Addressing these weaknesses should be a priority.”

The IMF praised Indonesia’s “remarkable achievements” over the past decade, as it transformed from the Suharto dictatorship into a flourishing democracy and recovered from near-bankruptcy in the 1998-1999 Asian financial crisis.

Indonesia was forced into a 43-billion-dollar bailout from the IMF in 1998, and only exited supervision by the Washington-based organization in 2003.

But the Fund said Indonesia “still faces challenges to preserve financial stability and develop its financial system”, especially in areas such as supervision and the development of the non-bank sector.

“Market participants view Indonesia as a country with great potential, supported by a large consumer base and rich in natural resources,” the report said.

“Yet, Indonesian securities continue to trade at a discount relative to regional peers and many wealthy Indonesian individuals still prefer to place their savings offshore.

“The financial sector lags behind comparable countries in terms of depth and contribution to the economy. This is because weaknesses in the legal and governance framework undermine investor confidence.”

It said one of the consequences of the legal uncertainty was that “large corporate borrowers have the economic clout to challenge contracts.”

As a result banks focused more on lending to consumers and small- and medium-scale enterprises.
