“… 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. …”

Hong Kong’s first openly gay lawmaker is known as “Slow Beat” from his days as a disc jockey, but Raymond Chan says there is nothing slow about his plans to reform the Asian banking hub.

Chan publicly revealed his sexuality only after winning a seat in the former British colony’s legislature last weekend, as a representative of the radically pro-democracy People Power party.

He said he plans to use the four-year term of the 70-seat assembly to push for full democracy and the legalization of same-sex marriage in the socially conservative southern Chinese city.

“If I can’t fight for my own rights, how can I help the oppressed and the underdogs?” the 40-year-old told Agence France-Presse, wearing a suave sky blue shirt and beige khaki pants.

“As a lawmaker — whether I like a man or a woman — it doesn’t affect my capability or my political ideologies.”

Contrary to his soft-spoken manner and boyish look, Chan is a member of a hard-hitting anti-Beijing party which, along with the League of Social Democrats, is known for its unruly interruptions of legislative council sittings.

His victory has been hailed by gay rights activists, who see his election as a step forward to push for sexual minority rights in a city where homosexuality was only decriminalized in 1991.

But since then, critics say the fight for equality has been painstakingly slow despite Hong Kong’s cosmopolitan outlook and ultra-modern self-image.

Quest for love and democracy

A survey sponsored by British bank Barclays in May found Hong Kong’s gay community faced widespread discrimination, with 85 percent saying they experienced a “negative impact” at their workplace.

“Hong Kong is definitely lagging behind,” Chan said, explaining that same-sex couples have no right to public housing, property inheritance or tax allowances granted to heterosexual married couples.

“There is no protection for gay couples. I hope we can enact laws to ban discrimination against one’s sexual orientation as soon as possible and of course, the long-term goal is to amend the laws to allow same-sex marriage.”

He is not daunted by the likely resistance he will face from the city’s Buddhists and Catholics, and promised to use an “educational” approach rather than the noisy antics of some of his allied lawmakers.

“It may take one term, it may take two terms, but at least there’s someone who gets the ball rolling,” he said.

He said he has received overwhelming support since coming out days after the election, and admitted he did not make public his sexuality during his campaign because it was “not a selling point.”

He is currently single after breaking up with his boyfriend, who he was in a relationship with for a year, during the run-up to the polls.

“I was sad that night but I had to go on with my election campaign,” he said of the separation.

At present, Hong Kong’s chief executive is selected by a 1,200-strong election committee and only a little over half of the legislature is elected by popular vote.

Beijing has promised to introduce “full suffrage” for the leadership polls in 2017 and the 2020 legislative vote, but many democrats fear the communist mainland authorities have no intention of honouring their promise.

“My dream is that one day when same-sex marriage is allowed in Hong Kong, I will be the first to get married,” Chan said.

“And I would like to invite the chief executive — one that is elected by all Hong Kong people through universal suffrage — to my wedding banquet.”
