“ … 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.

Govt raises ship fares, opens bus route to Brunei

The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Thu, 07/03/2008 10:38 AM

The government has increased ship fares for passengers and vehicles at 18 harbors by an average of 8.64 percent beginning today due to skyrocketing fuel prices, and has introduced the country's first bus route to Brunei Darussalam.

Ferry fares between Ketapang on the eastern tip of Java and the west coast of Bali have been raised by 2.64 percent, and between Gorontalo in northern Sulawesi and Wakai in Central Sulawesi by 9.79 percent.

The highest fare increase is 13.32 percent for ferries between Siwa in South Sulawesi and Lasusua in Southeast Sulawesi.

Bambang S. Ervan, head of public communication at the Transportation Ministry, said Wednesday the increases were calculated according to the distances of the different routes.

He said the new fares were not only important to help shipping companies cope with rising operational costs, but also to maintain safety through the maintenance and upgrade of aging ships.

"Out of 214 ships operating in the 18 harbors, 143 are more than 20 years old and only 19 ships are less than 10 years old," he said.

The Transportation Ministry also announced plans to open the first bus route connecting Indonesia and Brunei Darussalam, via Malaysia, by the end of this month following a surge in demand from migrant workers traveling to the oil-producing country on Boreno Island.

Sugihardjo, head of road transportation at the ministry, said Wednesday the route would connect Pontianak in West Kalimantan and Bandar Seri Begawan in Brunei Darussalam, through Kuching and Miri in Malaysia's northern part of Borneo.

"We will open the route after we successfully implemented the Pontianak-Kuching route in the early 1990s," he said.

Sugihardjo said the new route would help passengers who frequently complained about expensive fares charged by unlicensed bus operations.

"We will run the new route because the number of passengers reaches between 200 and 250 per day," he said.

He said his office would appoint bus companies PT Damri and PT Setiajiwana Sakti to provide buses for the route.

"The buses will carry passengers from Pontianak to Bandar Seri Begawan twice a day," he said.

He said that Brunei Darussalam and Malaysia had not yet decided which companies they would appoint to supply buses for their legs of the route.

"Brunei will also carry passengers twice a day, while Malaysia will serve passengers once per day," he said.

Iskandar Abubakar, director general for Land Transportation, said the three countries would hold a final meeting to discuss the new route on July 17 and 18.

"I hope we can reach agreement on the route opening during this final meeting," he said.

He said his office was also planning to open bus routes connecting to two other neighboring countries -- Papua New Guinea and Timor Leste.

"We have been discussing this with the Papua New Guinea government since 2007 but we have not yet reached an agreement," he said.
