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.

'Nangkadak': Best of two fruits

Mekarsari Tourism Park Bogor launched a new fruit variety Thursday called nangkadak, a cross pollination between nangka (jackfruit) and cempedak (closely related to the jackfruit).

Reza Tirtawinata, the head of the special project development division at the park; Roedhy Poerwanto, committee head of a tropical fruit symposium held in Bogor earlier; and Hari Tanjung, the park's general manager, hold a nangkadak.

The new variety has been certified by the Agriculture Ministry.

Tirtawinata said the nangkadak is a new species produced by cross pollination between a female jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) from Riau and a male cempedak (Artocarpus integer Merr) from Leuwiliang, Bogor.

Research for the new variety started in 2000, but it was not until 2005 that the first nangkadak fruit was harvested. The launch, however, was postponed until certification from the ministry.

"We cross pollinated a jackfruit and a cempedak because we wanted to get a mixture of the two fruits' good characteristics. As a result, nangkadak has an attractive color, and the flesh of the fruit is soft and thick with almost no fiber," Reza said.

"The flesh is also less sappy and less sticky than a jackfruit," Reza said.

He said a nangkadak tree is highly productive, with 30-50 fruits produced each harvest season.

Mekarsari's scientists and experts hope that within the next five years the new breed will bear more of a jackfruit characteristic with a crunchier taste, while being easy to peel like a cempedak.

Nangkadak trees take 1.5 years to bear fruits. Jackfruit trees usually need up to four or five years. Nangkadak's leaves are also useful for feeding animals, and its trunk can be used as firewood.

Mekarsari has started selling seedlings for the new species at its Garden Center at Rp 150,000 (US$ 13.6) per tree.
