“ … 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.

Dutch spaceman showcases eco-friendly yacht

RNW, 17 August 2010 - 2:40pm | By Willemien Groot

The sleek exterior design already hints at the vessel's high-tech interior. Sailing yacht Ecolution, the work of former astronaut Wubbo Ockels, generates its own electricity and is constructed from sustainable materials. If Mr Ockels has his way, it will be the yacht of the future.

The secret of the 25-metre two-master lies under the waves. There the Ecolution conceals two vast carbon propellers that generate power while she sails. The resulting electricity is stored in two batteries which also provide the necessary ballast. Five days of sailing produces sufficient energy for a whole month's creature comforts on board.

Fully fitted

On board there are four toilets, underfloor heating, a fully fitted kitchen including a microwave, a dishwasher and an oven, and even a shower and steam cabin. The vessel can sail into port using electric motors. In an emergency, the crew can resort to biodiesel. For this purpose, the ship has two separate engine rooms.

The Ecolution will experience its baptism of fire this week at Sail Amsterdam, where it will be given pride of place in the parade of tall ships bound for Amsterdam. During Sail 2010, the Ecolution will be open to the public and this coming winter it will be on display in Scheveningen harbour near The Hague.

One planet

Wubbo Ockels, who became the first Dutchman in space 25 years ago, has since made a name for himself as an advocate of sustainable solutions. His message is simple: we only have one planet, so we have to handle it with care. Mr Ockels' has previously championed a solar-powered car and a super bus that can reach speeds of up to 250 kilometres an hour.

The former astronaut is determined to test his latest invention in person, with the eventual aim of building more. The price of these special yachts is expected to be around four million euros. Given the price tag, it comes as scant consolation that there are no additional crew expenses. It only takes one or two people to man the Ecolution.
