"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. …”

'Ojek' keep on the left side of the law

The Jakarta Post, Jakarta

If you can't beat them, befriend them. That was the catch cry as police invited more than 3,500 ojek (motorcycle taxi) drivers to the opening of their keep-left safety campaign on Wednesday.

The ubiquitous, zig-zagging public transportation mode, based at an estimated 10,000 ojek posts throughout the city, has often been blamed for worsening the city's traffic chaos.

Head of the traffic unit at the city police, Sr. Comr. Djoko Susilo, said the campaign is being held to promote safe riding habits among the ojek drivers.

"We want to improve their riding skills and their understanding of the importance of safe riding as well as their obedience of traffic signs," he said.

The campaign is urging motorists to equip themselves with compulsory gear, including helmets. It is also aimed at improving ojek drivers' knowledge of traffic rules and signs.

Police records show the massive number of motorcycles on Jakarta's streets have made a significant contribution to the city's hefty road toll.

Between January and March this year, police recorded 150 accidents resulting in 51 deaths, 14 serious injuries and 68 light injuries. The data also shows that 15 of those who died were victims of hit and run accidents.

Police also issued around 9,000 tickets for traffic violations during the period, a reflection of Jakarta motorist's notorious tendency to flout road rules.

The police are monitoring at least eight accident-prone areas in Greater Jakarta: Jl. Letjen Soeprapto in Central Jakarta, Jl. Gatot Subroto in South Jakarta, Jl. S. Parman in West Jakarta, Jl. Perintis Kemerdekaan in North Jakarta, and Jl. D.I Panjaitan in East Jakarta, as well as Jl. Thamrin in Tangerang, Jl.A. Yani in Bekasi, and Jl. Margonda in Depok.

During the safe riding campaign, the ojek drivers rode from the city police courtyard on Jl. Gatot Subroto to Slipi, West Jakarta, then turned around, heading to Cawang, East Jakarta, and back to the Jakarta police headquarters.
