“ … 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.

RI's shipbuilding industry set for fair weather

The Jakarta Post, Jakarta

The shipbuilding industry is recovering from a two-year-long downturn as shipbuilders benefit from an influx of both domestic and overseas orders.

"The industry is expected to grow by 9.5 percent this year and surpass 10 percent next year as shipbuilders have received major orders from both local and overseas customers," Julius Tangketasik, a senior official at the Industry Ministry's Directorate General of Transportation and Communications Industries, told The Jakarta Post on Tuesday.

Made up of more than 250 ship- and boatbuilders, the industry grew by 7 percent last year, higher than 2005's growth of 6 percent, according to the directorate general's figures.

The figures also reveal that the maximum capacity of the national shipbuilding industry is expected to reach a total of 450,000 deadweight tons (DWT) this year, with shipbuilders operating at 65 percent capacity.

These figures compare with 400,000 DWT and 55 percent capacity last year.

State-owned oil and gas producer Pertamina recently ordered three vessels worth US$81.82 million from state-owned PT Dok dan Perkapalan Kodja Bahari (DKB) and state-owned PT PAL Indonesia.

Julius said countries like Germany, Italy, Turkey and the Netherlands had also ordered ships from Indonesia, mostly vessels of more than 5,000 DWT.

"Those countries have placed orders here as producers in other countries like Japan, South Korea and China are fully booked," he said.

The increasing demand, he added, had also been supported by Presidential Instruction No. 5/2005 on the development of the domestic shipping industry, which stipulated that only locally made vessels carrying the national flag can transport freight through Indonesian waters.

The instruction has forced shipping firms to replace their 2,000 non-national flagged vessels with locally flagged ones, Julius explained.

He noted, however, that Indonesia was far behind Japan and South Korea, which jointly controlled the global shipbuilding industry with a combined 70 percent market share.

"The important thing is that we benefit from this peak before this 20-year cycle begins to wind down," said Julius.

Similar views were expressed by DKB general manager Tjahjono Roesdianto, who was attending a transportation industry exhibition running from Tuesday through Friday at the ministry headquarters.

"Shipbuilders will be able to continue benefiting from this business over the next 10 years only if the government fully enforces the instruction," he told the Post.

He said the industry had adequate human resources and produced quality vessels, but "unhelpful" local bureaucracy and the banks could prevent the industry from growing further.

"The instruction actually urges financing companies, including banks, to actively help fund the industry by, for instance, offering lower interest rates," he said. "Perhaps, they think shipbuilding is a risky business."

According to Julius, the lending rate is between 4 and 5 percent for the industry in Malaysia, and between 2 and 3 percent in Singapore.

Both are lower than Indonesia's above 13 percent.
