I imagine the Japanese do not see a connection between killing whales and earthquakes, but I do. I feel no ill will towards the Japanese people nor wish them any harm, yet I do believe that we all experience consequences for our actions- positive or  negative. 

The European Commission has been working diligently to establish this joint position, and even though the 27 nation bloc is not yet a party to the International Whaling Commission it can still take a strong role at the IWC meeting in Santiago, Chile later this month by using it’s moral, political, and economic weight to ensure more effective protection of whales worldwide. 

For all the details about this go to www.seashepherd.org and read Captain Paul Watson’s recent post.  

Come celebrate the New Year from December 28, 2008- January 4, 2009 on the Big Island of Hawaii with the dolphins, whales, and like minded heart centered people.

Enjoy a week of playful cetacean & human interaction, fabulous snorkeling, sacred site exploration, gourmet meals, yoga and much more…

Go to www.dolphinsmile.org and click Dolphin Swim for all the details. See you there. Scott & Staff.

Writing my book and blogging has been positive in that I suggest the solution to ending unneccessary dolphin and whale suffering is knowing one’s true nature because then one recognizes their unity to all life and as such knows the preciousness of the cetacean species. 

I have introduced  many people to the world of dolphins and whales and they came away with greater respect and love for these sentient beings. I have sent my book to the prime ministers of the nations that are harming cetaceans.

I also know and have written in my book (dolphins to humans on the environment chapter) that the earth is alive and conscious as it is a manifestation of true nature and will take whatever healing actions are necessary to take care of her species and wake humans up.

This  includes  earthquakes  like the one that just hit Iceland as it was a week ago that Iceland announced  they were going to resume whaling (see my last blog).

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.    

I had a discussion with a person a few days ago who felt that swimming with dolphins causes a lot of harm. I have been swimming with the spinners for 20 years and they initiate and enjoy the interaction and leave when they want to. The pods are healthy and I haven’t noticed any adverse affects. I have found that people who swim with them come away recognizing the dolphins preciousness and often take action to educate others to respect dolphins.

I would rather see people swimming with the wild dolphins than swimming with captive dolphins or harming wild dolphins as many nations are doing ( read my past posts).

Because dolphins seem to always be happy they exemplify  our human potential to live a happy life. And why not, as there is so much beauty and love in the natural world, within our families, and among other species to smile about . 

This old paradigm of fighting and being at war with one another is a waste of our precious time because deep down I believe that all people, civilizations, and cultures want to be happy and share with each other the abundance of their natural surroundings.

As Meher Baba said, “Don’t worry. Be happy.” I wish you much happiness in life. Scott
