"The Recalibration of Awareness – Apr 20/21, 2012 (Kryon channeled by Lee Carroll) (Subjects: Old Energy, Recalibration Lectures, God / Creator, Religions/Spiritual systems (Catholic Church, Priests/Nun’s, Worship, John Paul Pope, Women in the Church otherwise church will go, Current Pope won’t do it), Middle East, Jews, Governments will change (Internet, Media, Democracies, Dictators, North Korea, Nations voted at once), Integrity (Businesses, Tobacco Companies, Bankers/ Financial Institutes, Pharmaceutical company to collapse), Illuminati (Started in Greece, with Shipping, Financial markets, Stock markets, Pharmaceutical money (fund to build Africa, to develop)), Shift of Human Consciousness, (Old) Souls, Women, Masters to/already come back, Global Unity.... etc.) - (Text version)

“… 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. …”

Commuters reject busway fare hike plan

JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post): Two years after operation, busway services remained poor prompting commuters to reject the planned tariff hike, a survey by the Indonesian Consumers Foundation (YLKI) said.

Out of 1,055 surveyed commuters of busway, most opposed any increase of rate and the planned zoning tariff system until the operators meet pledged services.

The administration has planned to increase the busway fare from Rp 3,500 to Rp 5,000.

"Many commuters who reject the plan are the motorists who have been shifting to the busway. The rejection is not merely because of money but also due to the poor services of the busway," Tulus Abadi of the YLKI told reporters.

The survey found that commuters were annoyed with problems such as unorganized arrivals of buses, poor interior cleanliness, poor performance of drivers and lack of feeder buses.

Tulus predicted the planned busway fare increase would discourage motorists to switch to the busway.

"It is a good achievement that 178 commuters at the survey are commuters who previously drive private cars and motorbikes. If the administration goes ahead with tariff hike, commuters might return to take its own vehicles to work," he said.

The survey was conducted on Dec. 30 to Jan. 5 with 60 percent of respondents are commuters in corridor I serving Blok M, South Jakarta to Kota, West Java.

The administration has said that the new tariff would be announced during the launching ceremony of new four corridors.

The four corridors will link Pulogadung in East Jakarta with Dukuh Atas in Central Jakarta; Kampung Melayu in East Jakarta with Ancol in North Jakarta; Ragunan in South Jakarta with Kuningan in Central Jakarta; and Kampung Rambutan in East Jakartawith Kampung Melayu in East Jakarta.

The operator said that it would deploy only 20 buses for four corridors from the planned 203 units.

"How can the administration up the tariff if buses in each corridors are only few," he said.

The press conference was also attended by Indah Sukmaningsih of the YLKI and Andi Rahmah of Pelangi Indonesia. The two are also members of the Jakarta Transportation Council which was tasked to formulate new tariff.
