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.

Jakarta facing dry future

The Jakarta Post

It was the second warning from Jakarta's tap water operators that water levels at West Java's multipurpose Jatiluhur Dam were dangerously low.

PT PAM Jaya and its foreign partners PT Thames PAM Jaya and PT PAM Lyonnaise Jaya said at a press conference Tuesday the dam, which is the main provider of raw water for the companies, was drying up in the face of unseasonably high temperatures.

The water level at the dam was 83.99 meters on Tuesday, much lower than the normal 105 meters. As a result, tap water production was only 65 percent of normal.
This was the second time the companies had issued such a warning. In 2005 they expressed concern over the deteriorating quality of groundwater and the decreasing sources of water due to environmental degradation.

Everything the tap operators said is undisputable fact: the quality and quantity of groundwater in Jakarta is deteriorating.

In densely populated kampongs, residents frequently have to dig their artesian wells deeper during the dry season. And it is becoming more and more difficult to find new locations to dig wells because of the profusion of septic tanks, which frequently leak out into the groundwater.

According to several reports, groundwater samples taken in different areas of the teeming capital have been found to be heavily contaminated with dangerous metals and bacteria.

In several residential areas, residents have had to drill artesian wells near roads in a bid to find a clean water source.

Cinta Air, a non-governmental organization that educates people on water resource protection, says Indonesia now ranks third in the world for the number of people lacking access to safe drinking water.

Environmental degradation is at least partly to blame for the decreasing water level at Jatiluhur Dam. The phenomenon was first detected several years ago, but no serious effort was made to reverse the trend.

More and more high-rise buildings have gone up in Jakarta, further exploiting groundwater and contributing to the decline in quantity.

Jakarta residents, tap water subscribers and those who depend on artesian wells need to be aware that one day there will be no more groundwater.

To put this day off, residents need to save water. Small underground reservoirs built in the yard of every house will help save water. The Public Works Ministry introduced such underground reservoirs more than a decade ago, but lack of awareness and the financial costs have meant these reservoirs have not caught on.

With tap water companies only able to serve around 30 percent of Jakarta residents, most people continue to depend on groundwater taken from their wells.

But it is not fair if only residents are put on alert over the dwindling supply of groundwater. The government should also be warned that something must be done to address the problem.

Nature has limits on how much water it can provide, so people must do more to preserve and protect water supplies. Establishing a sewage system in every mayoralty would be a start. These systems should include large ponds designed to treat all kinds of wastewater from households, and a plant equipped with devices able to "clean" wastewater and then distribute it back to neighborhoods.

In the ponds, wastewater would go through the aeration process, in which the water would get more oxygen to increase its biochemical oxygen demand (BOD). This process is like those of other treatment systems that produce and distribute ready-to-use water to households.

The city now has just one such treatment plant, in Setiabudi, South Jakarta. But the plant, established with funds from World Bank in the early 1990s, only treats wastewater from high-rise buildings and does not distribute treated water to households.

Setting up sewage systems in mayoralties would be big and expensive projects requiring the involvement of investors. That is why mayors with vision are needed. Investors will require assurances that they will recoup their money within a certain period from the fees paid by residents who enjoy the services of the system. Therefore, mayors with good managerial skills are needed.

Also necessary would be a kind of cross-subsidy scheme designed to help the poor afford the services of the sewage systems. In this way, people will no longer be so dependent on groundwater, which will ease the pressure on this natural resource and ensure its continued availability in the years and decades to come
