"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 ..."

Ethiopian church patriarch Abune Paulos 'dies'

Abune Paulos headed the church
since 1992
The head of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, Abune Paulos, has died aged 76, an official has told the BBC.

The news was confirmed by Mulugeta Aserate Kassa, an adviser at the Ethiopian embassy in London.

He suffered a heart attack, according to opposition website Ethiopian Review.

No funeral details have been released, but Abune Paulos is expected to receive a state funeral. About half of Ethiopia's population are estimated to be Orthodox Christians.

Mr Mulugeta told the BBC's Focus on Africa programme the patriarch had been "very healthy" on Wednesday, when he led a service in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa.

'Pragmatist at heart'

He later fell ill and was rushed to hospital, said Mr Mulugeta, a close friend of the patriarch.

The patriarch died early on Thursday morning, he added.

Mr Mulugeta said he could not confirm the cause of death, but the patriarch had suffered from hypertension and diabetes.

Abune Paulos was chosen to lead the church in 1992 - a year after the overthrow of the communist government of Mengistu Haile Mariam.

"He brought the church in line to meet the challenges of the 21st Century," Mr Mulugeta said.

"He was a pragmatist at heart."

He was jailed under Mengistu and then went into exile in the US.

Critics accused him of being close to current Prime Minister Meles Zenawi, who has also been ill recently.

Abune Paulos was the first person from the Tigray ethnic group - the same as Mr Meles - to head the country's Orthodox Church, Mr Mulugeta said.

"He was loved by many," he added.
