			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8221; The Cetacean hold an important lesson for us. The lesson is not about whales and dolphins. There is at least some moderately convincing evidence that there is another class of intelligent beings on earth beside ourselves. They have behaved beningly and in many cases affectionately towards us. We have systematically slaughtered them. Little reverence for life is evident in the whaling industry- underscoring a deep human failing. In warfare, man against man, it is common for each side to dehumanize the other so that there will be none of the natural misgivings that a human being has slaughtered another.&#8221;   CARL SAGAN

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last year Iceland announced that they were going to stop whaling and now their government has authorized the Icelandic whalers to begin their killing of 40 Minke whales.</p>
<p>This is an about face and a defiant  in your face act towards the global moratoriium on commercial whaling. Captain Paul Watson says, &#8221; The Icelandic whaling industry is a criminal operation supported by government lies and corruption. the civilized world needs to boycott all things Icelandic including tourism, Icelandic sweaters and icelandic vodka, which is appropriately labeled &#8216;black death&#8217;.&#8221; </p>
<p>This is such a sad state of affairs&#8230;  that there are still people in three nations, Japan, Norway, and Iceland that have such little respect for whales. As I have said before they are just covering up their own deficiency and lack of value because if they did recognize their own value they would not want to take the life of another sentient being- especially the magnificent whales.</p>
<p>In my book, Messages From The Dolphins, one of my chapters specifically addresses how and why humans are harming the earth&#8217;s environment, species, and indirectly each other.</p>
<p>I am not surprised that these nations are still killing whales as many of our human species are still living in the dark ages. I think they are trying to avoid their own dark night of their soul. They may put it off but they cannot avoid it and when it comes it will be even darker because of the unneccessary suffering they are causing.</p>
<p>I sent the prime ministers of these nations my book and guess  what &#8230; I never got a response&#8230; not surprising.    </p>

<p>This is very heartening to see teenagers so aware of the preciousness of whales and taking positive action to protect them. I sent her an email today congratulating her and connecting her to my site. I am also sending her a free copy of my book. Way to go Skye!!!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Japanese whaling fleet has returned to port in Tokyo with the remains of 551 whales that they illegally slaughtered in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. They only got 53% of their alloted quota of 1035 whales and not a single fin or humpback whale.</p>
<p>They blame the failure of the whaling fleet on Sea Shepherd and call Sea Shepherd the criminals- not wanting to face the truth that they are the ones that acted illegally by targeting endangered whales in a whale sanctuary in violation of a global moratorium on commercial whaling.</p>
<p>Thank you Sea Shepherd for intervening on the whales behalf!!!!   </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The solution to ending the whale and dolphin slaughters, and also all other harmful human actions towards other species, is knowing one&#8217;s true nature because then one experiences the loving unified field that connects all life and then lives in a way that honors, respects, and takes care of all life. This is the subject of the first chapter in my book, Messages From The Dolphins.</p>
<p>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&#8217;s main teacher is A. Hameed  Almaas. For more information please go to <a href="http://www.ridhwan.org/">www.ridhwan.org</a> or <a href="http://www.ahalmaas.com/">www.ahalmaas.com</a>   </p>
<p>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, &#8221; 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.&#8221; </p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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&#8230;. lot&#8217;s of trauma and suffering that will hopefully lead to our human species waking up to our loving divine nature.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I know that my blogs the last few months about Japanese whaling in Antarctica have sounded depresssing as this is a painfully difficult subject to discuss. For me, knowing that the Japanese are intentionally harming whales makes me feel angry, sad, and sometimes helpless as I don&#8217;t know if there is anything that I can do to stop the Japanese from continuing on with this madness. And yet it has helped me to write about what is occuring and to express my distressing feelings with the hope that I am speaking out on the whales behalf and waking more people up to the preciousnes of whales.</p>
<p>I believe it is important to speak out and am thankful that other people and organizations like Sea Shepherd and Greenpeace are doing the same. I want to particularly thank Dolphin at <a href="http://www.dolphinswink.blogspot.com/">www.eyeofthedolphin.blogspot.com</a> for timely and informative blogs about species suffering on the planet. Please check out her site. I also want to thank you, the reader, for subscribing to my posts as it is good to know that you care deeply about earth&#8217;s species. </p>
<p>So I do the best I can and then, realizing that this problem is bigger than me, leave the final solution in the hands of True Nature. For I know that True Nature ( God/Goddess ) is good and wants life on this planet to be a magnificent expression of the divine&#8230; and as such has some kind of divine plan that will eventually express humanities highest potential of unity, peace, and loving kindness towards each other and all species on this planet.</p>
<p>So, thank God/Goddess for life, for my relationships, for whales and dolphins, and for my having been able to get to know them in such a deep and intimately precious way.   </p>
