"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 ..."

Iran arrests opposition leader Mousavi ahead of rally

BBC News, 14 February 2011

Iranian police have placed opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi under house arrest, his official website says.

An activist calls people to rally from the top of a crane
It says the move is intended to block him from attending a rally in Tehran in support of the protests in Egypt.

It is the latest in a series of arrests of people linked to Mr Mousavi and fellow opposition leader Mehdi Karroubi, also under house arrest.

Several opposition groups have vowed to take part in the protest, although officials have banned the gathering.

Although Iran's establishment officially supports the Egyptian popular protests, it says the rallies are a "political move" by the two opposition leaders.

The authorities have stepped up security in the capital, blocked access to internet sites, and started jamming satellite news channels.

Crane protest

Emergency responders later pulled him off the crane
Analysts say Tehran is trying to stop opposition groups from using the Egypt rally as a means to re-ignite anti-government protests - last seen in 2009 - against the disputed re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

In an unusual move, a man climbed a tall crane in central Tehran on Monday morning and began inviting people to attend today's rally, the BBC's Mohsen Asgari reports from the Iranian capital.

He threatened to kill himself if officials tried to approach him, but was later arrested by the police, our correspondent says. The activist was earlier mistaken for a young woman.

Also on Monday morning, Iranian police vans blocked the lane leading to the house of Mr Mousavi and disconnected his mobile phones and land lines, his website Kaleme.com said.

Last week, almost a dozen people close to Mr Mousavi were detained.
