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.

Indonesia temporarily shuts Thai Lanna coal unit ops

Fri Dec 19, 2008 6:08am EST

JAKARTA, Dec 19 (Reuters) - Indonesia has ordered a unit of Thai coal miner and ethanol producer Lanna Resources PCL LANN.BK to temporarily halt coal production after it was found to be in violation of mining operation rules, an energy and mines official said on Friday.

PT Lanna Harita Indonesia, which operates a coal mine in East Kalimantan, did not reclaim idle mining pits, causing one of the pits to break down during the wet season and flood nearby a village, said MS Marpaung, a director at the energy and mines ministry.

"They should do reclamation on idle mining pits but they didn't. They didn't exercise good mining practice," Marpaung said.

"As the head of mining inspection, we have the authority to close down the mine until they can improve it," he said.

The ministry ordered the firm to halt its coal production early this month and gave it three months to do reclamation on its idle mining pits before it could resume production, Marpaung said.

Officials from Thai Lanna and PT Lanna Harita Indonesia could not be reached immediately for comment.

Despite temporarily shutting down on production, the firm will still be allowed to export coal which had been collected in stockpile, Marpaung said.

Lanna Resources owns 55 percent of PT Lanna Harita Indonesia (LHI), the firm said in its website.

It has mineable reserves estimated at 15 million tonnes with annual production of 1.5 million tonnes. (Reporting by Fitri Wulandari, editing by Ben Tan)
