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.

Indonesian Lawmaker’s Death in Shipwreck Raises Questions

Jakarta globe, Anita Rachman | August 08, 2010

Jakarta. House Commission III overseeing legal affairs plans to discuss lawmaker safety following a maritime mishap that left a legislator and the wife of another dead in North Sulawesi over the weekend.

“We will seriously discuss the issue that state officials, including members of the House, should also get protection at sea,” Achmad Dimyati, a lawmaker from the United Development Party (PPP), said on Sunday.

Dimyati himself had been on board the boat that overturned in Manado. Some 20 lawmakers, some with their families, were aboard.

Setia Permana, a lawmaker from the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P), and Wahyu Nurani, wife of Democratic lawmaker Sutjipto, drowned in the accident.

Dimyati said there should be more rigid standards at sea, “not only for state officials, but for all the people. And not only in North Sulawesi, but also across the archipelago.”

He said the doomed ship was not seaworthy, and didn’t receive adequate rescue assistance.

“The boat was not in proper condition,” he said.

“We are sorry that the captain is being held by the police, but there should be someone held responsible for this, so that this same kind of thing won’t happen in the future.”

North Sulawesi Police spokesman Benny Bella told the Jakarta Globe by telephone that the captain, Alex Lahengko, 34, was being detained by the police.

“We aren’t detaining people just because the victims were lawmakers or their families, this is the normal treatment,” he said.

However, Commission III member Nudirman Munir, who was also on the boat when it capsized, said that it was unfair to blame the incident on the captain.

He said the local government should be held responsible because it did not strictly apply and check the safety standards of all boats in the area.

“The municipality of Manado should be held responsible for this,” he said. “The captain is just a regular worker. [The accident happened at] a recreational area. Many people, including foreign tourists, come there. How come they don’t have first aid or lifeguards on the beach?”

Nudirman said that the commission would ask local governments to do a better job of managing their territorial waters.

“Not only in Manado, but in all places, in Maluku and Irian Jaya [Papua], there should be water police patrols and beach guards.

“The police should add to their teams covering the water,” the lawmaker said, adding that local governments should also prohibit people from operating old boats.

Nudirman also took the opportunity to say that lawmakers were not given enough money on working visits to far-off regions. “Rupiah 15 million ($1,700) for a working visit, including the flight and the transportation and the protocols, that’s not enough,” he said.

Eva Kusuma Sundari, from the PDI-P, said that she also got about Rp 15 million for the three- day working visit.

She said the sailing trip had been optional, and several lawmakers, including Ruhut Sitompul, from the Democratic Party, skipped it.

“It was a tragedy,” she said. “If there was really a mistake, it was with the operational standards.

“Without a standardized operational system, people will become victims,” she said.

“Don’t take notice just because the victims were lawmakers. The same treatment should be given to everyone,” she said.
