This is a tragic loss of a human life and I am also not surprised that this happened. I am not in favor of Cetaceans being held in captivity because it is unnatural for the them to spend their lives in a confined enclosure and does lead to abnormal behavior as expressed by this very sad incident.

The Humane Society has long campained for Marine Mammals to be removed from aquarium theme parks. Joyce Tishler, founder of the Animal League Defense Fund says, ” These behemouths are denied all of their natural instinctual inclinations.” She compares an Orca’s life in captivity to, ” keeping a human being in a bathtub for his entire life.”

I can imagine that if I was kept in a bathtub for my entire life and forced to do tricks for Cetaceans I would be very unhappy, develop abnormal behavior, and eventually lash out at my captors, just as this Orca did.

Many villagers are killing Spinner Dolphins for their teeth to use as currency. “Dolphin teeth are like gold,” says the governor of the nations central bank. ”You keep them as a store of wealth.”Over the past year one spinner tooth has soared in price from 50 solomon island cents to two solomon island dollars (26 u.s. cents). The teeth were used before the Europeans colonized the islands, and are still the preferred currency for buying brides.

The Solomon islanders hunt the dolphins by surrounding them in boats, banging the water with flat paddles to chase them into the shallows, sticking their heads in the mud to cover their blow holes until they drown and then chop off their heads to harvest their teeth.  

This is so upsetting… such cruelty and human ignorance of the true value of the precious aliveness of the dolphins. My God!!! What is it going to take for these people to wake up!!!  Dolphins are not fish… they are sentient beings that have strong emotional social bonds, are highly intelligent, and are spiritually evolved.

The islanders must believe they get manna from the dolphins which fills the hole of their own personal sense of deficiency and lack of value.  Why can’t they value their own human manna and be satisfied with that?

I do not think Mother Earth is going to allow this to continue.

Here is a heartfelt comment from someone that recently read my book, Messages From The Dolphins.

“Realizing now, after reading your book, and feeling more deeply how the dolphins are hurt by our human actions such as sonar testing and war makes me cry and makes my heart hurt and I sort of think that I really don’t mind if we humans do become extinct so that the dolphins can live in peace if it does come to that. We can hope to come back as a dolphin I suppose… maybe we humans can find another planet to go to some day and let the earth recover for awhile. It does give me some hope for us humans that the dolphins are trying to help us and that they are still loving us and setting a good example for us to follow.”

Lots of love and aloha to you and mahalo for sharing!

For the last 15 years I have been a student of the Ridhwan school and it is the wisdom from these teachings that assisted me in recognizing the interconnectedness of life and the spiritual presence of true nature that is the ground of all manifestation. The school’s main teacher is A. Hameed  Almaas. For more information please go to www.ridhwan.org or www.ahalmaas.com   

In his book, The Inner Journey Home- Chapter 17, page 287, Hameed talks about what happens when our souls do not experience Divine Love, which is the ground of everything. He  says, ” Not seeing the indivisible boundless ground of everything, the soul sees manifestation as composed of discrete objects. One can then possess or lose one object or another. And since this dismemberment reflects the absence of the unity of being , with its richness and abundance, it is bound to be colored by a sense of impoverishment. Impoverishment becomes desire and greed, and posessiveness develops into grasping and attachment. Therefore, instead of the soul experiencing abundance and seeing richness everywhere, she inwardly feels, consciously or unconsciously, that she is deprived and empty. She ends up being ruled by desire, greed, posessiveness, and attachment. Instead of the beautiful and rich display of love, the world of dismembered objects becomes the promise of possessions, power, and objects of gratification. The boundless Good is dismembered into material goods, to be attained, possessed, and hoarded. The natural richness and its associated spontaneous generosity becomes an economy of scarcity, where each is for his own, each is looking out for himself, and each fights and competes with others for as big a piece of the pie as one can get through cunning and brute force.” 

Letting the Japanese and other whaling nations know that killing whales and dolphins is not aligned with our current evolution of consciousness is important and it will really take these nations waking up to the fact that they and everything else has a divine existence that is made up of, and is, interconnected by love.

The ego belief in separation is extremely hard wired into our human consciousness and so often it takes some type of traumatic event to make one question their underlying view of reality. This seems to be what occurring on our planet…. lot’s of trauma and suffering that will hopefully lead to our human species waking up to our loving divine nature.

I agree with Eckert when he says that humanity is at a critical point in our evolution in that we will have to stop harming the earth, other species, and ourselves or face extinction, and the way out of our mess is to recognize that we have a divine true nature that is also expressed by other life forms. This is the central theme of my book, Messages From The Dolphins- when we know out true nature we will act with loving kindness towards ourselves and all species.

The Japanese whalers, by killing whales, are demonstrating that they are not in touch with their god true nature. If they were they would recognize that whales are an evolved, conscious, aware, sentient and spiritually awake species that should be honored and treated with respect.

Because whales live mostly under the water (in the water dimension) it is easy for the japanese whalers to keep thier distance, to be objective, to not really know how evolved the whales are because they are not spending any time with the whales interacting with them in their watery environment.

It is by taking a lot of time to observe how another species lives that give humans a general idea of how evolved  they are. This is what I have done with dolphins and hope to do with whales… I have spent hundreds of hours observing how the dolphins treat each other and express affection towards one another and I saw that they have a very evolved life and social structure. During and after swimming with them I experienced a hightened awareness of my true nature that was deeply connected to their true nature. 

All the Japanese whalers see are a few fins surfacing above the water and because they really don’t know how precious whales are they unemotionally kill them like fish!!!

During the last few weeks I have sent the following letter and my book to the Prime Ministers of the following countries that hunt and kill whales and dolphins – Japan, Iceland, Norway, Denmark, and St. Lucia. Please write your own letter expressing your feeling about illegal whaling. Go to www.seashepherd.org  for their  contact information and also email this post on to your friends and other dolphin/whale lovers. 

Dear Prime Ministers,

I have been interacting with dolphins and whales since 1989 and have come to the understanding that they are highly intelligent sentient beings that have much more to share with humans than their blubber on a dinner table.

I am writing to you with the hope that you will be open to receiving and reading my book, Messages From The Dolphins. I write on 5 subjects – true nature, communication, raising children, the environment, and war. It includes my own insights and that of the dolphins.

I would like to invite you to come on one of my Hawaii trips where I take people to swim, observe, and interact with the wild spinner dolphins. You will be able to see for yourself what the true world of the dolphins is like and then make a determination as to whether or not you want your people to have a peaceful relationship with dolphins and whales or to continue killing them.

For more information about my trips and the world of the dolphins please go to my web/blog site www.dolphinsmile.org. I hope to hear from you soon.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Respectfully,

Scott Olson

Japan has issued a warrant for Hayden Panettiere’s arrest trying to stop the dolphin slaughter.
