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.

Sand mining resume on Krakatau

Sand quarrying on Mt. Anak Krakatau has resumed, with the operating company claiming it obtained a permit from South Lampung Regent Wendy Melfa.

Jakarta-based PT Ascho Unggul Pratama was given the right to carry out sand mining on the active volcano by former South Lampung regent Zulkifli Hasan in May 2008.

PT Ascho managing director Suharsono on Wednesday denied conducting a disaster mitigation project illegally.

He said the company had received the permit in May 2008 during the administration of former South Lampung regent Zulkifli Anwar. The permit, he said, included a decree explicitly stating that PT Ascho could sell solid waste material, including sand and rocks from the area.

"We are not carrying out mining activities, but disaster mitigation to minimize the impacts of Mt. Anak Krakatau potentially erupting. This is part of in-depth research by experts from the Bandung Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation Center (PVMBG), the Lampung branch of the Natural Resources Conservation Center (BKSDA), Lampung University, the Bandung Institute of Technology, and the Indonesian Physicists Association," said Suharsono.

But environmentalists and volcanologists said sand mining on Anak Karakatu should be immediately stopped because it was detrimental to the environment and biological ecosystem around the mountain.

Lampung Indonesian Forum for the Environment (Walhi) director, Hendrawan, said that a survey by his group showed sand mining on Mt. Anak Krakatau was carried out under the pretext of disaster mitigation.

"Facts show the company is carrying out sand mining, not disaster mitigation. We have photographic evidence. Fishermen and visitors who usually fish around the area have also witnessed this."

Despite obtaining the license from the South Lampung regent, PT Ascho cannot conduct mining as such activities have not been approved by the BKSDA, the Bandung Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation Center (PVMBG) and the Forestry Ministry.

In August 2008, then forestry minister M.S. Kaban strongly rejected issuing a disaster mitigation permit on Mt. Anak Krakatau on the grounds it could damage the environment and the tsunami early warning system installed by the PVMBG.

He said the South Lampung regency administration had to coordinate with the relevant stakeholders, such as the Banten provincial administration, the BKSDA, the Ujung Kulon National Park Center and ecotourism experts and developers.

Lampung BKSDA head, Ambar Dwiyono, acknowledged issuing a permit for PT Ascho to install disaster mitigation equipment on Mt. Anak Krakatau, but said his agency had prohibited the company from mining sand.

"My staff went to Mt. Anak Krakatau last week and did not find any heavy equipment there," said Ambar.

However, when The Jakarta Post asserted that it had photographic evidence of the mining activities, Ambar said he would reinvestigate. "If sand is actually being taken, we will take harsh measures," he said.
