“ … 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.

Teenage globe sailor takes down Dutch flag

Solo yachtswoman Laura Dekker has taken down the Dutch flag from her sailing boat and replaced it with a New Zealand one, in response to renewed efforts from Dutch school attendance authorities to force her to continue with her education.

Authorities claim 16-year-old Laura has been doing too little school work. When her father refused to make an appointment to discuss the issue, attendance officers announced they intended to complain to the Dutch council for child welfare.

Laura – who aims to become the youngest person to circumnavigate the world single-handed - is currently crossing the Atlantic Ocean, headed for the Dutch Caribbean island of Sint Maarten where she will complete her journey in her boat, Guppy. It is expected that she will arrive within two weeks provided there are no setbacks.

Battle to sail with authorities

In 2009, when Laura first announced her plans to circumnavigate the globe, Dutch authorities intervened and insisted she should first finish school. The child welfare authorities brought the case to court and a judge ruled that the 13-year-old was too young to travel alone. Laura then ran away and took a plane to St Maarten, where she was arrested and sent back to the Netherlands.

In July 2010, a judge gave her permission to carry out her plans - provided she agreed to a number of conditions, including continuing her secondary-school education through an online teaching programme set up for Dutch-speaking children abroad.

Dutch newspaper de Volkskrant reports her lawyer, Peter de Lange, “is furious about the latest action of the school attendance enforcement officers.” Laura has had enough of Dutch authorities, he says. “She was almost put into care. And now this.”

A Dutch court had ordered authorities to take temporary guardianship of Laura when she was 13, while her case was being assesed by psychologists.

Turns back on Dutch citizenship

Officially, Laura does not have to comply with Dutch regulations concerning her education, as she is no longer registered as a Dutch citizen. She holds New Zealand citizenship because she was born on a boat there while her parents were sailing around the world.

De Volkskrant says the World School, which organises the education by correspondence, is afraid a precedent will be set if they don’t intervene. “Laura is contending with an 80-year school attendance battle. Compulsory school attendance is sacred in the Netherlands.”
