“ … 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 ‘abrasion’ increasing: Expert

Desy Nurhayati, The Jakarta Post, Denpasar | Mon, 07/05/2010 10:40 AM

Two more kilometers of Bali’s shoreline are damaged by geological abrasion every year, and immediate action is needed to stop people from making it worse, say experts.

Abrasion, a form of erosion in which rocks are eroded by particles propelled another force, such as water, affects the beaches of almost every regency in Bali, especially those in the south, Walhi Bali Institute’s Ngurah Karyadi said.

“Bali has 430 kilometers of shoreline, but 86.5 kilometers are severely abraded and 51.5 kilometers experienced minor abrasion. This problem should be handled immediately,” Karyadi said.

The most severe abrasion rate is 50 meters per year, recorded at Gianyar regency’s Lebih beach.

Concrete barrier walls have been built to guard against huge waves, the main natural contributor to abrasion, in only a few areas, such as Sanur, Kuta, Nusa Dua, Tanah Lot, Candidasa and parts of Bali’s north coast, he said.

A Bali Public Works Agency reports shows more than 181 of 438 kilometers of Bali’s coastline have been affected by abrasion. Eighty kilometers have been restored.

Severe abrasion occurred on Padanggalak and Matahari Terbit beaches in Denpasar; Ketewel, Masceti and Purnama beaches in Gianyar; Tegal Besar, Negari, Jumpai and Pasinggahan beaches in Klungkung; Candidasa beach in Karangsem; Cupel, Baluk and Medewi beaches in Jembrana. Grogak beach in Buleleng recorded light abrasion.

In 1987, the agency reported that amount of coastline affected by abrasion had increased by 39.1 kilometers over the last 20 years, with an average annual increase of 1.95 kilometers.

Abrasion forced the relocation of 49 families and a cemetery from Cupel and Candikesuma beaches in Jembrana in 2007. In Candikesuma, a huge wave severely damaged local fishing boats and a fish market.

Abrasion has also threatened several sacred places, including Tanah Lot temple in Tabanan and Rambut Siwi temple in Jembrana.

“Destructive human activity and global warming both have increased the intensity of abrasion, as is evident from changes in the position of shoreline,” Karyadi said.

R. Suyarto from Udayana University’s Center for Environmental Management said that recent coastal area development ignored human activity as a sources of increased abrasion.

“Other human activities, such as cutting down mangrove trees and removing coral and sand also adds to abrasion,” he said.

Land reclamation projects on Serangan island are behind abrasion along Sanur beach in the direction of Lebih beach, while the extension of runways at Ngurah Rai airport has worsened abrasion in Kuta, he said.

Gianyar Regent Tjokorda Oka Artha Ardana Sukawati said a blueprint for coastal development is needed to address the problem.

“We need to tackle this problem in a comprehensive way, including making a blueprint for coastal development,” he said.

“Everyone who wants to build along coastline should refer to the blueprint. We need to ensure that tourism businesses comply with it,” he added.
