Collapse!

As an FYI:

We live in The Digital Age. We have been encouraged to conduct commerce via computer, move our money around by computer (actually, we don't have any money, we live by way of a system of debits and credits), pay bills by computer and retrieve our information by computer. The "Green Movement" has conspired to reduce paper use and increase our dependence on computers. In a related note, cable and phone companies are now desperately trying to get us to place Internet, phone and cable under one company/provider.

What does this add up to?

Consolidation.

Everything that is of importance to the normal functioning of nations across the globe is now completely dependent upon millions of computer servers the world over, which, in turn, depend upon electricity in order to function.

We should anticipate that when things begin to move into high gear we will see earthquakes, tsunamis, tornadoes, eruptions of "dormant" volcanoes, etc. There is a significant possibility that the following will result:

- Loss of electrical power, as grids and reactors go off-line
- Blackouts as failover systems overload
- Loss of electronic communications: cell phone, TV, Internet
- Immediate collapse of global stock markets
- Loss of refrigeration
- Transportation tie-ups due to damage
- Important digital records lost

In a few moments, civilization can be moved back thousands of years. It has happened before at the end of past major and minor cycles. 11,000 years ago, the last Atlantean island, Poseidonis, was submerged in a day and a night.

Do you know who "cavemen" really were? They were descendants of the survivors of the many Atlantean disasters who, over the centuries, lost touch with their highly-civilized heritage and reverted to "man-animal" status. That's what happens when a technological society is wiped off the face of the earth. Man is left with naught but his brain, his two feet and his two hands.

It has been reported that there will be a period of time when the entire globe, will "pause". During this "Null" period, nothing that requires polarity (negative, positive) will function. The Earth will literally "stand still". This is supposed to last for an indeterminate period of time.

It is impossible to prepare for a 'camping trip' of undetermined duration to an unspecified location scheduled for an unknown day or hour. The only thing that one can do is to try and keep abreast of what is happening and attempt to evacuate before the governments decide to close all bridges and roads (which are government property, by the way).

The most important things one can do will be to:

- prepare spiritually...beforehand, like now
- purify the body...beforehand, like now
- remain calm
- pay attention to your Intuition
- perform no act out of selfishness or fear

Remember, there is no death. If you have prepared sufficiently, served faithfully, loved unselfishly, the threat of the loss of the physical vehicle will not matter at all. However, there is every indication that those few who consecrate themselves to carrying out God's Will while in the flesh will experience A Great Transformation, and shall retain their physical vehicle, but in a higher form.

As for the Tribulations, all will be touched by them to some extent. We should prepare now for a short period of such an existence. Pick up on some survival tips when and where you can. The majority of humans are city-dwellers who wouldn't know a spruce tree from a shoe tree. At the very least, one should try to ascertain what plants are edible in his or her region, where certain gas lines are (these are going to erupt like the 4th of July), how close are you to a nuclear reactor, etc. If you have a safe location selected, you should also plan to have at least three ways to get there and a second location selected if the first is not feasible. These should be located in rural areas as far from urban centres as possible.

A meeting place for loved ones may, or may not be possible, due to possible bridge and road damage or roadblocks set up by the military-state government (they are going to try their best to keep everyone from leaving the cities). It may be difficult for some to leave loved ones behind. Such decisions will have to be left up to the individual.

Have a plan. Keep a bag packed. Obtain a small first-aid kit. Water, a few tins of canned foods and maybe a bag of rice. A small pot. Matches or other fire-making material. Batteries and a battery-operated radio (to use while it's possible). A couple of blankets or a sleeping bag. Cash will probably be worthless by then, but with no banks functioning, it may be advisable to try and keep a couple hundred dollars of paper money at home or in your survival bag. On the other hand, it may be best to not carry too much money as brigands could possibly be making their presence felt. Water will be scarce, so start storing up on it now, before the stores are emptied out. Learn to ration. Learn to eat less. Learn to live with less.

If you cannot manage to evacuate to a safer location, then keep your wits about you. Do not panic, follow your Intuition. Remember, "not a sparrow falls...".

God will know His own.
