"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 ..."

 Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (Netherlands) (AFP) - Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta arrived at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport on Tuesday ahead of a landmark appearance before the International Criminal Court, where he faces charges of crimes against humanity.

"He has arrived in the Netherlands," his spokesman Manoah Esipisu told AFP shortly after 4:00 pm (0200 GMT).

Kenyatta, who will become the first sitting president to appear before the chamber, temporarily handed power to his deputy William Ruto earlier in the day before taking a regular flight as a "private" citizen to Amsterdam.

"There is nothing he has done in action or deed as president that would merit him being here in court, that's why he travelled here as a private individual," Esipisu said.

Around a dozen of Kenyatta's supporters were at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport to welcome him, an AFP correspondent said.

Kenyatta is due to attend a "status conference" hearing on Wednesday at The Hague-based ICC, after prosecutors asked for an indefinite delay until Nairobi hands over documents they believe could clinch their case.

Kenyatta, 52, faces five counts at the ICC over his alleged role in masterminding post-election violence in 2007 and 2008 that left 1,200 people dead and 600,000 displaced.

The Kenyan leader has appeared at the ICC before, but not since he was elected president in March 2013.

On Monday Kenyatta told parliament he had taken the "unprecedented" move to temporarily hand over power to Ruto -- whose trial at the ICC has already begun.

"Let it not be said that I am attending... as the president of Kenya," he told a special session of parliament as several lawmakers stamped their feet in support.

Esipisu told AFP that Wednesday's hearing "is a procedural event, not really anything to write home about."
