“ … 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.

Sharks lure tourists to islands

Slamet Susanto, The Jakarta Post, Jepara

"That's amazing! I can't believe I'm looking at sharks with my own eyes. Until now I've only seen them on TV," said Ratna.

Ratna, a girl from Banjarnegara in Central Java, had just arrived at a shark breeding facility on Menjangan Besar island some 90 kilometers from Jepara, Central Java.

The facility, owned and operated by Satmoko, has two shark pools located on the beach that are open to the public. An attractive stone barrier separates the large, naturalistic pools from the ocean. Bushy corals and a variety of other marine life thrive here.

However, Ratna decided not to take a dip. In one pool there were 20 adult black sharks, many 1.5 meters long. Swimming alongside them in the second pool there were 30 baby white sharks.

"I have been running this facility for 20 years, so its much older than Karimun National Park," said Satmoko, referring to the protected status of the islands.

He told The Jakarta Post it all started as a hobby and because of his fondness for sharks and other sea creatures.

To populate the aquarium, Satmoko, a former fisherman, purchased some baby sharks that were caught near the island. Satmoko's partner Ismiyati and two assistants help him run the aquarium.

The shark hatchery isn't a business enterprise, he explained. So, it's open to the public and there is no charge. "I don't receive a cent. I'm just happy that people can visit and enjoy the sharks and the environment."

Everyone who visits the nursery gets to see sharks close up. True thrill seekers are allowed to enter the pools and swim with the massive fish.

Besides sharks, Satmoko also breeds clown fish, tiger fish, rainbow fish and various other decorative species.

Ismiyati said the facility required up to 20 kilograms of fish per day to feed the sharks.

Satmoko and Ismiyati financed the facility themselves. They said they were willing to provide young sharks to individuals or institutions interested in shark breeding.

"I don't set a price (on hatchlings). I just need enough money to cover delivery costs," he said, adding that he had just sold a 40 centimeter shark to a buyer in Pati, Central Java for Rp 800,000.

The facility also recently provided a three-meter white shark to Sea World in Ancol, Jakarta.

Satmoko said he hoped the facility would play a role in luring visitors to the island chain.

"I hope they will have a wonderful time and share their experience -- the beauty of Karimun Jawa -- with friends back home. Hopefully, this will increase the number of visitors."

The island is one of 27 in the protected island chain and boasts picturesque landscapes and relatively little environmental damage. Only four islands are inhabited.

Visitors to Karimun Jawa can go swimming, sunbathing, fishing and diving.
