“… 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. …”

Indonesia’s Corruption Ranking Improves but ‘Radical’ Steps Needed

Jakarta. Countries like Indonesia “need to adopt radical anti-corruption measures in favor of their people,” Transparency International warned in the latest edition of its Corruption Perceptions Index, which was released on Wednesday.

On a scale from 0 (perceived to be highly corrupt) to 100 (perceived to be very clean), Indonesia scores 34, which is slightly better than last year’s 32. The country is ranked 107th out of 175. In the 2013 version of the index, Indonesia ranked 114th.

However, the poor scores of countries like Indonesia “indicate a general weak or ineffective leadership to counter corruption, posing threats for both sustainability of their economies and somewhat fragile democracies [in the Asia-Pacific region],” Transparency International said in a statement on its website.

This year’s list is topped by Denmark, which scores 92, while North Korea and Somalia share last place, with a score of 8.

Despite moving up several notches, Indonesia still fares poorly compared to its neighbors. In the Asia-Pacific region, the country perceived to be least corrupt is New Zealand, with a score of 91 — good for second place worldwide. Singapore (7 worldwide), Australia (11), Japan (15) and Hong Kong (17) make up the rest of the Asia-Pacific top 5.

“Grand corruption in big economies not only blocks basic human rights for the poorest but also creates governance problems and instability. Fast-growing economies whose governments refuse to be transparent and tolerate corruption, create a culture of impunity in which corruption thrives,” Jose Ugaz, the chair of Transparency International, was quoted as saying in a statement on the organization’s website.

Apart from Singapore, the only Association of Southeast Asian Nations member state to score more than 50 points is Malaysia, which ranks 50th on the global index with a score of 52. The Philippines shares the 85th global spot with Thailand, with both scoring 38. Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar all perform worse than Indonesia.

Transparency International says its yearly index is “based on expert opinions of public sector corruption.”

“Countries’ scores can be helped by open government where the public can hold leaders to account, while a poor score is a sign of prevalent bribery, lack of punishment for corruption and public institutions that don’t respond to citizens’ needs,” the organization says.
