Question: Dear Kryon: I live in Spain. I am sorry if I will ask you a question you might have already answered, but the translations of your books are very slow and I might not have gathered all information you have already given. I am quite concerned about abandoned animals. It seems that many people buy animals for their children and as soon as they grow, they set them out somewhere. Recently I had the occasion to see a small kitten in the middle of the street. I did not immediately react, since I could have stopped and taken it, without getting out of the car. So, I went on and at the first occasion I could turn, I went back to see if I could take the kitten, but it was to late, somebody had already killed it. This happened some month ago, but I still feel very sorry for that kitten. I just would like to know, what kind of entity are these animals and how does this fit in our world. Are these entities which choose this kind of life, like we do choose our kind of Human life? I see so many abandoned animals and every time I see one, my heart aches... I would like to know more about them.

Answer: Dear one, indeed the answer has been given, but let us give it again so you all understand. Animals are here on earth for three (3) reasons.

(1) The balance of biological life. . . the circle of energy that is needed for you to exist in what you call "nature."

(2) To be harvested. Yes, it's true. Many exist for your sustenance, and this is appropriate. It is a harmony between Human and animal, and always has. Remember the buffalo that willingly came into the indigenous tribes to be sacrificed when called? These are stories that you should examine again. The inappropriateness of today's culture is how these precious creatures are treated. Did you know that if there was an honoring ceremony at their death, they would nourish you better? Did you know that there is ceremony that could benefit all of humanity in this way. Perhaps it's time you saw it.

(3) To be loved and to love. For many cultures, animals serve as surrogate children, loved and taken care of. It gives Humans a chance to show compassion when they need it, and to have unconditional love when they need it. This is extremely important to many, and provides balance and centering for many.

Do animals know all this? At a basic level, they do. Not in the way you "know," but in a cellular awareness they understand that they are here in service to planet earth. If you honor them in all three instances, then balance will be the result. Your feelings about their treatment is important. Temper your reactions with the spiritual logic of their appropriateness and their service to humanity. Honor them in all three cases.

China's new South Pacific influence

By Nick SquiresBBC, South Pacific

 

As China extends its economic and political potential in the world, nowhere is too remote or too small to merit Beijing's interest, not even the tiny nations which slumber in the South Pacific.

 

These days, though, you might be disappointed.

 

While mangoes and marlin are certainly available in the tourist resorts, in towns and villages it is more likely to be fried rice and springs rolls you would be dining on.



Map of the South Pacific


 

Chinese restaurants have sprung up all over the region, some of them big and grand, most little more than shacks with corrugated-iron roofs.

 

Often they are next door to Chinese-run trade stores, where shopkeepers hunker down behind iron-bar grilles and sell everything from candles to corned beef.

 

The shops and restaurants are the most visible sign of a growing Chinese presence in the South Pacific.

 

New kid on the block

 

Beijing is boosting its political and economic influence in a region which was long dominated by European powers such as France and Britain.

 

Gallic pretensions to world power status ensure it retains three colonies - including New Caledonia and French Polynesia - but Britain's commitment has long since waned.

 

China is the new kid on the block.

 

But why the Chinese interest in a region regarded by most of the world as an obscure backwater?

 

Well, for a start, the Chinese are looking to satisfy their voracious appetite for natural resources.

 

Copper, zinc and nickel from Papua New Guinea, timber from the Solomon Islands, manganese and cobalt from the sea-bed are all vital to feed China's extraordinary pace of development.

 

But it is politics - not business - that is really turning the gaze of the Chinese dragon towards these pearls of the South Seas.

 

Diplomatic war

 

Pacific nations may be miniscule and little known - the likes of Palau and Kiribati (pronounced Kiribass) are hardly household names - but they are vitally important in the diplomatic war between Beijing and Taiwan (which China regards as a breakaway province).

 

Six countries in the Pacific grant official recognition to Taiwan's capital Taipei, and the Taiwanese do all they can to retain their loyalty.

 

Climb out of the plane in remote Tuvalu, for instance, and the first building you notice - because it is the only structure taller than a coconut palm in the entire atoll nation - is the government's new office complex, built with Taiwanese money.

 

On a recent trip to the tiny nation of Nauru, I came across a pungent piggery, again paid for by Taiwan.

 

Taipei maintains one of the very few diplomatic missions on Nauru, a country so small it can be driven around in half an hour.

 

Red carpet treatment

 

The ambassador lives in a little bungalow by the beach, the Taiwanese flag flapping wanly in the tropical breeze from a white pole. It must be one of the loneliest postings in the world.

 

China, of course, is not to be outdone in the cheque-book diplomacy stakes.

 

It, too, has lavished money on its loyal South Pacific allies, paying for everything from sports stadiums to health schemes.

 

Beijing frequently rolls out the red carpet for the leaders of countries like Tonga and Samoa.

 

What makes its aid attractive is that it is bestowed with no strings attached, unlike the assistance received from the European Union or Australia and New Zealand, which rather awkwardly harp on about good governance and other tricky issues.

 

As one Pacific analyst puts it: "Chinese aid is quite different from other countries, it goes straight for the jugular."

 

But with China's increasing presence come tensions.

 

Flinging money around among the political elite can exacerbate already high levels of official corruption.

 

The business acumen of Chinese entrepreneurs stirs intense resentment in the famously laid-back Pacific, where initiative is often stifled by the custom of having to share profits with your extended family.

 

Criminal activity

 

And while the majority of Chinese settlers who have emigrated to the region in recent years are honest and hardworking, there is a criminal element which is involved in people smuggling, prostitution and illegal gambling.

 

Four years ago, police in Fiji busted a massive Chinese-run drug factory described as the biggest of its kind in the southern hemisphere.

 

All of which is a worry for powers like Australia and New Zealand, which regard the South Pacific as their patch.

 

In the last few years, I have watched Australian soldiers and police deploy to hotspots like East Timor, Papua New Guinea and the Solomons.

 

No-one is suggesting China wants to do the same, at least not yet. But the old order is changing.

 

Canberra, Wellington and Washington can no longer take for granted their influence in the South Pacific.

 

It may have a reputation as an earthly paradise of coral reefs and coconut groves, but it is fast becoming a stage on which Beijing flexes its political and economic muscle.

 

Unlike those plates of chicken fried rice and chow mein, that is something which Pacific islanders may find hard to digest.
