“ … 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.

Beach cities pilot disaster management

Alvin Darlanika Soedarjo, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta

The Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Ministry has been organizing training in four Indonesian cities as part of a disaster prevention and management pilot project.

The ministry has chosen four locations, all well known for their beaches, for the training -- Padang in West Sumatra, Serang in Banten, Denpasar in Bali and Lombok Tengah in West Nusa Tenggara.

"There is no method as yet on setting priorities in disaster prevention measures," said Subandono Diposaptono, head of the Sub-directorate for the Mitigation of Disaster and Environmental Pollution at the ministry.

Subandono told The Jakarta Post on Wednesday that most people were clueless when it came to disaster management and mitigation.

"People still don't know what kind of disaster prevention is most important in their areas."

"We've gone to those areas five times in over five months to teach them what they have to do when a disaster occurs and also on mitigation efforts. We have also established a strategic plan," Subandono said.

The project involves officials from the central and local governments, local people and ethnic minority groups, experts and NGO activists.

Subandono said the project started in February and is slated to finish in September.

"The areas selected have the potential for tsunamis and landslides. We chose Padang because it is located at the center of the province and it's also the center for local administration," he said.

"Denpasar was chosen because of its unique tourism. Serang because of its industry and Lombok in West Nusa Tenggara because of its fisheries and maritime biodiversity."

Meanwhile, Indonesian Society for Disaster Management (MPBI) head commissioner Sugeng Triutomo said the fisheries ministry's project in coastal cities and regencies was only part of national disaster management efforts.

He said other government institutions, such as the Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology (BPPT), the Meteorology and Geophysics Agency (BMG) and the Forestry Ministry also had disaster management projects.

"Many Indonesian people are more responsive than preventative when it comes to disasters. We need to change the mind-set of the Indonesian people to be readier when disasters happen," he told the Post.

He said a draft law on disaster management could be passed by the House of Representatives as soon as the end of this month.

"MPBI has been involved in the preparation of the draft law with the House. We've given them strategic and conceptual inputs for the future disaster management law," he said, adding that many local administrations were not yet ready to comply with the disaster management law if it comes into effect.

Sugeng said the national disaster management plan had to be in accord with the Hyogo disaster management resolution, which came out of a conference on disaster reduction in Japan in 2005.
