“… 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 Needs More Tax Reforms While Improving Public Spending, Governance: OECD

Jakarta Globe, Ratri M. Siniwi, October 24, 2016

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) says

million in 2014, with only 900,000 of them having paid what they owed the
state. (Antara Photo/Wahyu Putro A.)

Jakarta. Despite strong growth in Indonesia's gross domestic product, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, or OECD, says more tax reforms are needed.

In a report titled "2016 Economic Survey of Indonesia," the organization indicates that one of the country's main challenges is a narrow tax base, with only 10.7 percent of gross domestic product having been taxed in 2015, compared to 11.4 percent in 2012. It also says tax evasion is prevalent.

"Only 27 million taxpayers were registered in 2014, in a population of 260 million, and only 900,000 of those paid what they owed," the OECD said in the report.

The report also highlights the lack of efficiency in public spending and recommends that Indonesia scraps all energy subsidies, which account for 7 percent of public expenditure.

The OECD claims that this would be a necessary move for Indonesia to go green, meet renewable energy targets and boost funding for public priorities, such as education, health care and infrastructure.

The organization recommends the implementation of improved controls and performance-based budgeting if Indonesia wants to meet its target of 20 percent government spending on education and 5 percent on health.

Corruption appears to be the main factor that discourages businesses in Indonesia and hampers economic development.

According to OECD, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), which plays a vital role in combating the challenge, should be provided with more resources and authority.

OECD secretary general Angel Gurria said an improvement in living standards can be seen in Indonesia, thanks to strong economic growth and social progress.

"Many challenges remain, but the government is moving in the right direction by reducing obstacles to doing business, improving the investment environment, and cutting subsidies," Gurria said in a statement on Monday (24/10).

Along with the launch of its economic survey, the OECD also introduced the "2016 Open Government Review of Indonesia," which recommends the establishment of a continuous budget for improving the quality and volume of data for public access.
