“ … 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 ..."

Kryon Q&A

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.

E. Nusa Tenggara to name 719 islands

Yemris Fointuna and Hyginus Hardoyo, The Jakarta Post, Kupang, Jakarta

The East Nusa Tenggara provincial administration says 719 currently anonymous islands within its territory will soon be getting names of their own.

The administration is working together with the National Survey and Planning Coordination Agency, the Maritime and Fisheries Ministry and the Indonesian Military (TNI) Hydro Oceanography Office to assign them.

"They will be named according to the characteristics of the area where they are located," Djidon de Haan, an assistant to the East Nusa Tenggara spatial planning agency, told reporters Tuesday.

Djidon said the province consisted of 1,192 islands, including the outer islands of Batek, Dana Sabu, Ndana Rote and Manggudu. Military troops have been deployed on them since 2006 to prevent outside parties from claiming them.

There are 473 recognized islands spread across the province's 16 regencies and mayoralties, of which just 43 are inhabited.

The administration earlier claimed to own 566 large and small islands. But satellite images showed the actual number to be more than twice as large. The province is required to name them by July.

"The list of islands will be sent to Jakarta before being registered with the 9th congress of the United Nations Conference on Standardization of Geographical Names at the UN building this year," he added.

The move is an apparent response to Home Affairs Minister M. Ma'ruf's recent call to regional administrations, especially those on border areas with other countries, to give their islands names.

Ma'ruf said the intention was to avoid disputes similar to the cases of Ligitan and Simpadan, which have been taken over by Malaysia.

"We have about 17,000 islands, but only 6,000 of them have been named," Ma'ruf said during a visit to East Nusa Tenggara early last week.

"Our next orientation will be developing and expanding the potential of the outer islands."

Ma'ruf added that out of 92 outer islands throughout Indonesia, only 12 had been named. He said the naming of all those islands would be completed by August. "We've been asked by the UN to report the islands, especially those which are located on border areas with other countries, as soon as possible," he said.

Members of the House of Representatives have also expressed concern over the rising number of foreign citizens taking over the ownership of the country's islands simply because they are not clearly identified.

Lack of clarity and poor security in the border areas also tempts many foreign fishermen to enter Indonesian waters. Indonesian security officers have a difficult time catching them because the fishermen have superior vessels.
