“… 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. …”

Ancient Inca roads win coveted World Heritage status

Doha (AFP) - UN cultural agency UNESCO on Saturday granted its coveted World Heritage status to a vast and ancient Inca road system spanning six countries in South America.

The listing of the Qhapaq Nan roads will boost efforts to preserve and promote the network -- an engineering marvel comparable to the vast road system of the Roman Empire.

Delegates at UNESCO's World Heritage Committee voted to grant the status at a gathering in Doha, where they are considering some 40 cultural and natural wonders for inclusion on the UN list.

Covering some 30,000 kilometres (18,600 miles) and constructed by the Incas over centuries, the system has long connected the peoples of Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru.

The six nations came together to submit the bid for its nomination and have vowed to work in concert to preserve and restore the road system.

Inclusion on the list has significant economic implications as a World Heritage Site is eligible for financial assistance toward preservation and the status is also a powerful draw for tourists.

"This is a recognition of one of the most important sites in the world," Luis Lumbreras Flores, who is responsible for the Qhapaq Nan project at Peru's culture ministry, told AFP.

The road system, which reached its height in the 15th century, linked the Incan capital Cusco in present-day Peru with the vast reaches of the empire.

"The Qhapaq Nan by its sheer scale and quality of the road is a unique achievement of engineering skills in most varied geographical terrains, linking snow-capped mountain ranges of the Andes... to the coast, running through hot rainforests, fertile valleys and absolute deserts," UNESCO said in documents presented at the Doha meeting.

"It demonstrates mastery in engineering technology," UNESCO said, calling it "an exceptional and unique testimony to the Inca civilisation".

Under threat

The system, which began forming as trails thousands of years ago, linked some 40,000 people of the Incan Empire, carrying traders, travellers, messengers and armies.

The road system was eventually used by the mounted Spanish conquistadors in their exploration and conquest of the continent after their arrival in 1526.

"It illustrates thousands of years of cultural evolution and was an omnipresent symbol of the Empire's strength and extension throughout the Andes," UNESCO said.

Parts of the network are under threat from encroaching development. Under a plan submitted to UNESCO the six nations will sign on to an overarching preservation scheme.

Experts said they hope the granting of the status will bring the road system to greater attention and help efforts to explore and preserve it.

"We still cannot see the entire road because a large part of it is covered by vegetation," said Fernando Astete, the chief archeologist at Peru's famed Machu Picchu site.

"This road must be restored and developed because of its significance to heritage," he said.

Determining the boundaries of the site has been extremely complicated and UNESCO settled on selecting 273 components of the route, covering about 700 kilometres (435 miles) of road and some 11,300 hectares (28,000 acres) of land.
