"If an Arab and a Jew can look at one another and see the Akashic lineage and see the one family, there is hope. If they can see that their differences no longer require that they kill one another, then there is a beginning of a change in history. And that's what is happening now. All of humanity, no matter what the spiritual belief, has been guilty of falling into the historic trap of separating instead of unifying. Now it's starting to change. There's a shift happening."


“ … Here is another one. A change in what Human nature will allow for government. "Careful, Kryon, don't talk about politics. You'll get in trouble." I won't get in trouble. I'm going to tell you to watch for leadership that cares about you. "You mean politics is going to change?" It already has. It's beginning. Watch for it. You're going to see a total phase-out of old energy dictatorships eventually. The potential is that you're going to see that before 2013.

They're going to fall over, you know, because the energy of the population will not sustain an old energy leader ..."

ElBaradei returns to Egypt calling for democracy

The Jerusam Post, by JPOST.COM STAFF, 01/27/2011

Self-exiled opposition leader publishes manifesto for toppling Mubarak regime: "It is time for a change; the only option is a new beginning."

Democracy activist, Mohamed ElBaradei, is expected to return from Vienna to Egypt on Thursday following this week's protests, laying out his manifesto for change in Newsweek.

"I am going back to Cairo, and back onto the streets bcause, really, there is no choice," ElBaradei wrote. "So far, the regime does not seem to have gotten that message."

"The Egyptian people broke the barrier of fear, and once that is broken, there is no stopping them," he explained.

"Each day it gets harder to work with Mubarak's government, even for a transition," ElBaradei wrote. "He has been there 30 years, he is 83 years old, and it is time for a change...The only option is a new beginning."

"I have hoped to find a way toward change through peaceful means," he added. "In a country like Egypt, it's not easy to get people to put down their names and government ID numbers on a document calling for fundamental democratic reforms, yet a million people have done just that."

"The regime, like the monkey that sees nothing and hears nothing, simply ignored us," ElBaradei explained.

ElBaradei also laments media censorship in Egypt, explaining that he has "been out of Egypt because that is the only way I can be heard. I have been totally cut off from the local media when I am there."

In addition, ElBaradei slams American relations with Egypt, saying that the West applies "a double standard for your friends...siding with an authoritarian regime just because you think it represents your interests." He expresses incredulity at Clinton's assertion, after riots in Tunisia, that the Egyptian government is stable and "looking for ways to respond to the legitimate needs and interests of the Egyptian people."

The leading Egyptian activist for democracy says the West is convinced "that the only options in the Arab world are between authoritarian regimes and Islamic jihadists."

"That's obviously bogus," ElBaradei claims. "If we are talking about Egypt, there is a whole rainbow variety of people who are secular, liberal, market-oriented, and if you give them a chance they will organize themselves to elect a government that is modern and moderate."

Egypt "wants desperately to catch up with the rest of the world," ElBaradei wrote.

US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said on Wednesday that Egypt had to adopt democratic and other reforms and allow peaceful protests. She told Cairo to lay off social media sites like Facebook and Twitter even as activists are using them to organize street gatherings and destabilize the government.

In October, ElBaradei, a former head of the UN International Atomic Energy Agency, joined the Muslim Brotherhood in calling to end Mubarak's reign and boycott what he called "phony" elections in Egypt. He said he has "total ideological and intellectual disagreement" with the Islamic group, but they agree that they "want a democratic Egypt."
