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.

This is an about face and a defiant  in your face act towards the global moratoriium on commercial whaling. Captain Paul Watson says, ” 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 ‘black death’.” 

This is such a sad state of affairs…  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.

In my book, Messages From The Dolphins, one of my chapters specifically addresses how and why humans are harming the earth’s environment, species, and indirectly each other.

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.

I sent the prime ministers of these nations my book and guess  what … I never got a response… not surprising.

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!!!!

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 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 www.eyeofthedolphin.blogspot.com 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’s species. 

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… 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.

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.   

This made me think about the Japanese whalers and how much they have lied. They say they hunt whales for scientific purposes when in truth they killed them for food. They lied about Sea Shepherd harming them when the truth is they attempted to kill Captian Paul Watson. They lied about not trying to bribe other nations to vote in their favor at the I.W.C. meeting when the truth is those nations recently confessed that this did indeed happen.

So, I have a feeling that nature is going to respond to Japan’s harming the whales with some kind of earth event- not out of maliciousness or an intent to hurt or cause harm, but out of taking natural healing actions to let the Japanese whalers know that the earth will not put up with their harming and killing whales any longer. 

In my book, Messages From The Dolphins, Chapter 4 – Dolphins to Humans on the Environment, I have said that the earth will repond to humans harmful actions by creating beneficial natural healing actions. If you follow world events then you will know that this has been occuring. The earth is wanting to get our attention so that we will begin treating all life with respect, appreciation, and gratitude.
