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.

IFC offers loans to reforest degraded land

Adianto P. Simamora, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Tue, 11/17/2009 9:23 PM

The International Finance Corporation (IFC), a private arm of the World Bank, has announced it will provide loans to local companies interested in reforesting degraded land, to reduce the impacts of climate change.

The IFC launched its sustainable-forest program on Tuesday, targeting to replant 250,000 hectares of damaged forest land — in Sumatra, Kalimantan and East and West Nusa Tenggara — within five years.

Restoring 250,000 hectares of forests could cut around 90 million tons of carbon emissions annually, which could be traded under the clean development mechanism (CDM) stipulated in the Kyoto Protocol.

“The program has several benefits; reducing greenhouse gas emissions, putting the land to a productive use and producing new jobs in rural areas,” IFC Indonesia for Sustainable Forestry program manager Kenneth Mac Dicken said Tuesday.

The program would provide a promising option to investors, as demand for forest products, including timber, would likely increase in future, he said.

“Expansion for new [production] forests will decrease because of pressure [to reduce] the high deforestation rate in Indonesia,” he said.

Replanting projects could be carried out on low-carbon stock areas such as grasslands, by planting fast-growing trees.

According to the IFC, there are around 96 million hectares of degraded land in Indonesia at present, at least 8 million hectares of which is coarse grassland.

The program aims to generate up to 90,000 jobs in rural areas.
