“… 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. …”

André Kuipers: bringing space a little closer to home

RNW, 30 June 2012, by Willemien Groot

Dutch astronaut André Kuipers returns to Earth on Sunday after spending over six months aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Down here on terra firma, we have been able to follow his every move on Twitter and via live video links. Kuipers’ exploits have brought space that little bit closer to home.

“He’ll never stop smiling again,” was the comment when Kuipers entered the air lock of the ISS for the second time in his life over six months ago. The Dutchman was grinning from ear to ear as he greeted his colleagues. In his own words, it felt like coming home.

Enthusiasm

From his “home in the sky”, Kuipers launched into an enthusiastic barrage of messages, tweets, photos, videos and Q&A sessions for the benefit of a fascinated audience back on Planet Earth. Enthusiasm among children in the Netherlands is riding high, observes Hans van der Lande of Space Expo in Noordwijk.

We’ve welcomed between twice and three times as many visitors as normal. We no longer have to explain to the younger kids what a rocket is. They want to know what gravity is and why mankind wants to travel into space.

As far as Van der Lande is aware, every school in the country is involved in Spaceship Earth, a project aimed at upper primary school classes and junior secondary school classes. “It’s been a huge hit. Children are interested in the whole team and you can see that it’s inspiring them.”

From the heart

The Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF) is also delighted with André Kuipers. From the ISS, the astronaut took hundreds of photographs which have reached millions of people. “His message is that we have to be careful with the world’s natural resources. We only have one planet and we have to take good care of it,” says Dylan de Gruijl of WWF. Kuipers explicitly asked to become a WWF ambassador after his first space voyage.

His latest photographs not only show the Earth’s beauty but also the impact of deforestation, natural disasters and ongoing urbanisation. Our night-time illumination is even visible from space. “His sense of commitment comes from the heart. He doesn’t just read from a script. It’s his own conviction.”

Dragon

Philippe Schoonejans of the European Space Agency ESA particularly admires Kuipers for pulling off a successful ISS rendezvous for a commercially produced, unmanned spacecraft, the Dragon. Kuipers brought the spacecraft in safely using a robot arm, a manoeuvre he had practised for weeks.

Schoonejans sees this as a promising development for the future: “It shows that flights of this kind can be carried out on a commercial basis, without government intervention. That’s particularly important for the Americans.”

The US is working on a successor to the Space Shuttle, which has now gone into retirement. In the meantime, ISS crew are travelling back and forth in a Russian Soyuz. With a few adjustments, the Dragon will be able to carry not only cargo but also a maximum of seven people. That would make the Americans less dependent on the Russians.

Cutbacks

Although Kuipers’ voyage has been a success in several respects, the Dutch government still plans to cut the budget for space travel by 33 million euros in 2015. Space travel is seen as an unconscionable expense in times of crisis.

“It’ll be an incredible shame if those cutbacks go ahead,” says Philippe Schoonejans of ESA. “It’ll put a real dent in the Netherlands’ status as a high-tech nation. And it will also jeopardise jobs for researchers and assignments for Dutch technology companies.”

Goodbye

But at this moment in time, André Kuipers has other things on his mind. After his landing in Kazakhstan, he will first fly to Houston (US) for a debriefing and then he’ll finally be able to go on holiday with his family. On 30 August he will receive a hero’s welcome on the boulevard in Noordwijk.

But for the time being, Hans van der Lande of Space Expo offers a word of advice: “Before you leave, make sure you go to the ISS viewing platform one last time and take a good long look around. Take the time to say a proper goodbye.”
