"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. …”

Adam Air denies cost-cutting measures

Alvin Darlanika Soedarjo, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta

Adam Air denied on Monday accusations that it had neglected passengers and aircraft safety for financial reasons.

"I have never done any economizing or cost cutting in our maintenance sector. Maintenance takes up 40 percent of our total operational costs," airline president Adam Adhitya Suherman said during a hearing at the House of Representatives.

He added that the airline's reputation was highly linked with safety.

Critics have alleged that senior management ordered Adam Air pilots to fly in all weather and regardless of aircraft conditions.

Adam said that he had not seen any documents written by his mother, Adam Air co-founder Sandra Ang, ordering pilots to fly even if there were problems, and added that he apologized if it had happened.

"I haven't seen any of the letters instructing our pilots to keep flying. We know what the consequences are if we force any of our pilots to fly any of our failing aircraft. I always hold on to the passengers' trust to use our service," Adam said.

"What we have done is just prohibit our pilots to fly," Adam said, adding that the management of Adam Air had canceled flights several times during bad weather.

"In the past, Adam Air had canceled risky flights to Jambi, Pontianak and Bengkulu because of the permeating haze there."

He added that Adam Air had never banned its pilots from joining unions.

Adam also denied that House Speaker Agung Laksono was still involved in the company.

"Adam Air is a family company. Mr Agung Laksono, who is no longer with us, was our commissioner from Nov. 21, 2003. This was before he became the speaker," he said.

In response to Adam's defense, members of House Commission V overseeing transportation have decided to establish an internal team to investigate the fate of Adam Air flight KI 574 and the sinking of the Senopati Nusantara ferry.

Commission V head Akhmad Muqowam said that several recent land, sea and air accidents meant that transportation services in the country needed to be overhauled.

Legislator Azwar Anas said that despite the lengthy explanation from Adam Air's management, there were several things that remained a mystery.
