“ … 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.

Outlying islands may disappear

Adianto P. Simamora, THE JAKARTA POST, JAKARTA | Tue, 02/17/2009 9:43 AM

Indonesia’s outermost islands face the risk of disappearing altogether because of human-induced climate change, and will require special measures by the government to keep them firmly on the map.

Indonesian Institute of Science (LIPI) researcher Dewi Fortuna Anwar said the government should ensure the physical presence of its citizens on those islands and build a “high wall” to prevent the islands from succumbing to rising sea levels.

“The government should finalize maritime border negotiations with neighboring countries as soon as possible and ensure the outermost islands remain in place,” she said Monday after a seminar on developments on the country’s borders.

“The government could also reclaim land off low-lying islands.”

Global warming is widely blamed for causing rising sea levels, temperatures and acidity in Indonesia.

Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Minister Freddy Numberi said earlier that Indonesia had 17,504 small islands, of which 9,634 remained unnamed. The ministry is currently verifying 13,374 islands and drafting a profile of the 92 outermost islands.

He added Indonesia had already lost some islets to rising sea levels.

The government has warned that a 1-meter rise in sea levels could wash away 405,000 hectares of coastal areas and 2,000 islands. At present, the annual sea-level rise in Indonesia is 0.8 millimeters.

Tiny island nations, like the Maldives, have repeatedly called for assistance from the international community to protect their islands from rising seas.

Dewi warned that if the country’s outermost islands were lost, it would cause big problems, including on territorial borders and the economic exclusive zone (EEZ).

Indonesia has 108,000 kilometers of coastline and a total area, including the EEZ, of 5.8 million square kilometers.

Dewi said Indonesia was still negotiating its maritime borders with Malaysia, Singapore and Australia.

Indonesia shares land and maritime borders with 10 countries: India, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Timor Leste and the Republic of Palau.

The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) defines how states may draw their territorial borders using baselines between the outermost points of the outermost islands.

The outermost islands also serve as the baseline to determine a country’s contiguous zones, EEZ and continental shelf.

Dewi said the government could build lighthouses on its border islands to herald the country’s presence there to the international community.

The National Coordinating Agency for Surveys and Mapping (Bakorsutanal) said Indonesia had finished determining its borders with neighboring countries.

Agency head Rudolf Matindas said there was no need too worry about climate change impacts on maritime borders.

“The rising sea levels will not occur overnight. There must be global solutions, because all countries stand to suffer from climate change impacts,” he said.
