“… 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. …”

Keeping the Peace a Priority for New Asean Chief

Jakarta. The new secretary-general of Asean began his term on Wednesday by saying the group needs to accelerate negotiations with China on a Code of Conduct for the South China Sea.

Le Luong Minh also hopes to bridge differences within the 10-nation bloc so that Asean can reach its goal of becoming an integrated community by 2015.

The 61-year-old former deputy foreign minister of Vietnam is taking over at a time of heightened tensions over territorial claims in the South China Sea.

On Wednesday, the Philippines' Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario asked China to explain its deployment of a patrol ship to guard disputed territory it claims in the South China Sea.

del Rosario said Chinese diplomats have previously said that Beijing will only assert its claims, including by possibly intercepting foreign ships, in waters off its province of Hainan. But China also claims that most of the South China Sea falls under Hainan's jurisdiction, he said.

The Philippines has asked China to specify the limits of the territory it will guard, he said. "Everybody's hot and bothered," del Rosario said.

"That's why we're saying, define, please define for us, but they're not answering."

Tensions over the South China Sea ran high during a meeting of Asean foreign ministers in July last year, when the 10-member bloc failed to issue a joint communique for the first time in its 45-year history. Critics fear such national interests could drown out Asean's collective voice.

The failure also raised concerns that increasingly assertive big powers like China could drive a wedge in the group's unity. Four Asean nations — Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines and Vietnam — as well as China and Taiwan claim territories in the South China Sea.

Minh, a seasoned diplomat for 38 years, says more must be done to shape standards, norms of conduct, build confidence and put in place measures to prevent conflicts and resolve them.

"Asean should speed up efforts towards an early start of negotiations with China, with a view to achieving an early conclusion on a Code of Conduct on the South China Sea," he said in his speech at the handover at the Asean Secretariat in Jakarta.

Also speaking at the ceremony were his predecessor, Surin Pitsuwan, and Indonesian Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa. All touched on the importance of peace and stability in the region.

Minh is the first chief Asean diplomat from one of the four newer members that joined in the 1990s. He faces a daunting deadline of bringing about an Asean Economic Community by 2015.

"The more open flow of investments, capital, labor, goods and services will pose different challenges and opportunities for member states," he said.

Integration won't be complete without narrowing the development gap within Asean, he added.

"Providing our young people with good education is one of the most effective ways out of the poverty trap," he said.

Surin said that as Asean becomes the center of global growth in the next decade, prosperity will bring in more players.

"We cannot kick anybody out," he said.

"We can only manage their interactions among ourselves so we can benefit and we can help to sustain the strategic bonds that we would like to see here in the region."

Marty said that Indonesia, as Southeast Asia's largest country, wants to continue to play an active role in managing this.

"Asean must continue to be at the forefront of a regional architecture that promotes Asia Pacific peace and stability," he said.
