… 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. …

China mulls constructing high speed railway to the US

Each time Chinese premier Li Keqiang makes overseas visits, he invariably touts the good quality, technological skill, mature operations experience, high cost-performance ratio and good international reputation of China's high-speed railways.

On May 5, he reaffirmed the merits of China's high-speed railway before African leaders at the Conference Center of African Union in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Behind this high-speed railway pitch is China's plan to go global with its high speed rail, which was first proposed in 2009.

The first of the three cross-border high-speed railway plans being constructed or promoted is the high-speed railway line connecting Europe and Asia, which starts from London, will pass through Paris, Berlin, Warsaw, Kiev, Moscow and then branch out to Kazakhstan, or Khabarovsk and then enter China's Manzhouli. The domestic section of this line has already started construction while the sections outside China are still being negotiated.

The second line is Central Asia's high speed railway that will start in Urumqi, pass through Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Iran, Turkey and conclude in Germany. The domestic section is being promoted, while the sections outside China are still being negotiated.

The third line will be the Pan-Asian high speed rail, which starts in Kunming.

China is currently digging a mountain in western Yunnan to build a 30 kilometer tunnel that will pass through Burma, and from Burma one line will go to Thailand and the other will pass through Laos, Vietnam, Malaysia before arriving in Singapore.

Wang Mengshu, a member of the Academy of Engineering and a railway expert, stated that China was also mulling building a railway to connect China, Russia, Canada and the United States.

The railway will depart from northeastern China, pass through Siberia to arrive at the Bering Strait, then on to Alaska, Canada until it reaches the United States.

Wang revealed that the line was initially estimated to be around 13, 000 km long. If completed, Chinese nationals may no longer need to travel to the United States by air, but could take a train.

Analysts were of the view that China will face three challenges in attempting to build international high speed lines in three areas, namely funds, rail operations and technological hurdles.
