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.

Baby humpback may have survived

Stranded baby whale back in the deep

Pictures have shown a baby humpback whale reunited with its mother off the Gold Coast.

MARINE experts say they are cautiously optimistic a baby humpback whale rescued in a marathon operation on the Gold Coast has survived and been reunited with his mother.

Director of Marine Sciences at Sea World Trevor Long said a mother and calf filmed by TV choppers today, a day after the rescue, could mean good news.

"Shortly after first light this morning, the Sea World rescue boat spotted a mother and calf very close to the location where the rescued calf was last seen yesterday," he said.

"A second mother and calf were also located in the vicinity and with the assistance of the Nine News helicopter, Sea World was able to obtain vision of both sets of mothers and calves."

After comparing colour markings, Mr Long ruled out the first calf.

While a positive identification for the second calf wasn't possible, it was very similar in colour to the rescued calf.

"The Sea World team is cautiously optimistic that the calf was able to reunite with its mother overnight and continue its migration," he said.

"We did hear there was an animal down at Tweed Heads that was acting in a different manner to the other whales, and we were hopeful that may have been the mother.

"That's certainly within communicating distance for these animals."

Mr Long said when it was returned to the ocean the calf was tired but in good condition, and it looked good even after becoming entangled in a shark net just offshore.

It took a Sea World team around half an hour to free the calf from the net.

"When it was fighting to get out of the shark net it had a lot of kick and a lot of fight in it, so those indicators tell us it was reasonably strong.

"And on the beach we could see it was quite robust and had wonderful responses and it did swim off reasonably OK, considering it had been on the beach for 12 hours."

Interest in the baby whale's fate has been intense, after several thousand people gathered on Surfers Paradise beach to watch the rescue.

"Australians seem to be very keen and passionate about whales," Mr Long said.

"I'm not sure if it's because we're an island nation, but whales are at the core of our marine animal values and we see that with the interest in the anti-whaling movement.

"And it's something we all should enjoy because they're beautiful animals and we're very rich to have them come past our coast."
