“… 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. …”

Mark Zuckerberg: Internet as an Economic Driver

Jakarta. Boosting Internet connectivity in Indonesia is a key component of the country’s quest for higher economic growth, Facebook co-founder and chief executive Mark Zuckerberg said during his visit to Jakarta on Monday.

“There’s a lot of studies and research that show businesses that are connected to the Internet grow twice as quickly as the ones that aren’t, in terms of using it to communicate with users,” Zuckerberg told reporters in Jakarta.

The entrepreneur, worth an estimated $32.2 billion, was in town to promote greater Internet connectivity in Indonesia through Internet.org, a global non-profit initiative run by Facebook and five other large global technology companies.

He also met with President-elect Joko Widodo on Monday to discuss the issue.

“Getting more of the population in Indonesia and businesses on the Internet is one of the biggest levers the government has to grow the economy and it’s one of the biggest ways for Facebook to help with the economy in Indonesia,” said Zuckerberg, famous for starting Facebook in 2004 in his college dorm room and building it into one of the biggest technology companies in the world.

In a press conference at the Four Seasons hotel, Zuckerberg said he wanted to connect the world to the Internet.

“We’ve invested in building satellites and solar-powered planes to beam down Internet, and that’s some of the challenges we plan to work with the government and the telecom operators,” he said.

“We can’t do any of this by ourselves. We have to work with not only government but also telecom providers, entrepreneurs [and] service providers. We’re a pretty small part of it. We’re just trying to help organize it,” he said.

Indonesia is important market for Facebook. According to a June 27 report from the Wall Street Journal’s tech and news analysis portal wsj.d, Facobook had some 69 million monthly active users in Indonesia.

The wsj.d quoted Anand Tilak, Facebook’s Indonesia country manager, who said that figure represented a 6 percent rise from the 65 million users six months ago.

No official country ranking has been provided by Facebook, but studies from research companies often state that Indonesia ranks fourth, after the United States, India and Brazil, for Facebook users.

On Monday, Facebook announced a cooperation with XL Axiata, the country’s second-biggest mobile carrier, as a local partner for its Internet.org initiative.

Jakarta-based XL Axiata has some 69.2 million subscribers, half of them being data service subscribers.

Under the partnership, Facebook and XL, along with telecommunication infrastructure provider Ericsson Indonesia, will encourage Indonesia’s smartphone application developers to optimize the data usage of their apps.

Optimizing the apps, according to Facebook’s Zuckerberg, will decrease data consumption. That in turn will allow more affordable data services for Indonesian Internet subscribers. Increasing bandwidth was not brought up.

Indonesia had 82 million Internet users, as of the end of May this year, according to data from the Communications and Information Technology Ministry.
