"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 ..."

ADDIS ABABA, Feb. 1 (Xinhua) -- The African Union (AU) on Monday emphasized the importance of peace and security on the continent as the pan-African bloc ended its 16th summit in the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa.

Major issues of concern for African leaders included the situation in Cote d'Ivoire, Somalia and Tunisia, according to a document on Africa's peace and security situation adopted by AU heads of state and government during the summit.

On the situation in Cote d'Ivoire, the African leaders expressed their deep concern for the crisis, while encouraging the AU Commission and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to continue with their efforts to find solution to end the impasse.

During the summit, AU's Peace and Security Council decided to set up a panel to deal with the crisis in Cote d'Ivoire. The team is composed of presidents of Mauritania, South Africa, Burkina Faso, Tanzania, Chad, as well as head of the AU Commission and head of ECOWAS.

The panel will evaluate the situation in the West African country, and is mandated to come up with binding solution within one month.

On Somalia, which is going through a crucial transitional period, the African leaders strongly urges the country's stakeholders to broaden and consolidate the reconciliation process, ensure greater cohesion within the Transitional Federal Institutions and complete the outstanding transitional tasks, including the constitutional process.

The war-torn Horn of Africa country has not had a functional central government for two decades. It is currently run by the internationally recognized Transitional Federal Government (TFG), which is protected by AU peacekeepers while facing deadly attacks by Islamist insurgent group of Al-Shabaab.

The country is expected to end its transitional period on Aug. 20 this year.

Meanwhile, African leaders "urgently appeal" to all the Tunisian parties to "work together, in unity, peace, consensus and respect of legality, towards a peaceful and democratic transition," according to the document.

The summit, which has been largely dominated by discussions on Cote d'Ivoire, Somalia, Sudan, Tunisia and Egypt, concluded late Monday after adopting a series of decisions and declarations concerning Africa's development, peace and security.
