“… 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. …”

Agency mulls online ticketing for MRT

The Jakarta Post, Jakarta

The Jakarta Transportation Agency is planning to apply an integrated ticketing for the mass rapid transit (MRT) system.

The online ticketing system would allow passengers to use the ticket for four transportation modes: the subway, monorail, busway and waterway, agency head Nurachman said Tuesday.

"Currently, we use smart card ticketing for the busway. We're looking forward to introducing a system that offers tickets to suit every journey, regardless of stages or modes," he said.

In an attempt to beat traffic congestion, the city administration is now working on the MRT project, comprising the busway, subway, monorail and waterway systems.

The three initial busway corridors are soon to be complemented by 12 others.

Data from busway operator BP TransJakarta shows that the first corridor, launched in early 2004, carries some 20,000 passengers a day. More than 100,000 people use the busway daily, 14 percent of whom are private car owners, according to a 2006 study by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).

Corridors 4 to 7 are ready to be launched soon, while the other eight corridors are still under construction.

Nurachman said a "flat fare" system would be implemented for Corridors 4 to 7.

The subway, which will run from Lebak Bulus in South Jakarta, to Kota in West Jakarta, will be funded by a US$800 million loan from the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC), which was secured last year.

The development of planning and engineering feasibility studies is expected to be finished this year, while the first phase of the subway line from Lebak Bulus to Dukuh Atas, South Jakarta, is scheduled for completion by 2012.

The monorail will include two lines -- the green line and the blue line -- and cost an estimated US$650 million.

The 14.3-kilometer green line will run through Central Jakarta and South Jakarta, from Jl. Rasuna Said and Jl. Gatot Subroto to the Sudirman business district, and then to Senayan, Jl. Pejompongan and back to Jl. Rasuna Said. There will be 16 stations along the line.

The blue line will link Kampung Melayu in East Jakarta to Roxy, West Jakarta, and will have 11 stations.

Officials initially said the green line was due to be completed by the end of 2007, but it has been delayed due to funding problems.

Little progress has been made in the development of the waterway system.

Denny Taloga, who sits on City Council Commission D for public works, said Tuesday the integrated ticketing system would not be brought in until the feasibility studies were done.

"We will also have to consider the operational costs of the four transportation systems," he added.
