How To Prepare For The Coming Transition
I am SO not into the 2012, End of the Mayan Calendar, but this came across on the email group that I just joined. Som parts of this are just common sense and the rest comes from somebody who’s been staring at the sun for too long:
THE 2012 MANIFESTO
HOW TO PREPARE FOR THE COMING TRANSITION
The crisis we are now experiencing is just a prelude to the major Transition in
global consciousness that will occur during the 2012 period. In order to make
the shift, the corrupt, hierarchical systems which do not serve the needs of
Humanity must collapse. This will create fear and hardship for many, but for
those who prepare for the paradigm shift to a new matrix of consciousness and
being, the transition will be viewed as a mere inconvenience necessary for the
rebalancing of Earth’s and Humanity’s energies. Here are the top 10 ways that
you can prepare:
1 – Recognize that The United States of America is an Empire in decline. Most
empires do not go to bed willingly. History shows us that the USA gets very
belligerent when the economy goes south or other nations refuse to do what it
tells them to. New alliances are forming that intend to counter US Hegemony. The
Dollar is about to be rejected as the global currency. Unjustified and
irrational wars have brought the USA to bankruptcy. The deficit is out of
control. We are at the mercy of foreign energy sources. The global community is
fed up with Bully USA and is about to pull the plug on many fronts. Expect the
US Government to lash out in a last-ditch attempt to salvage Empire.
2 – Study and familiarize yourself with the concept of Peak Oil and its
ramifications on our economic and social systems. In an era of energy scarcity,
endless economic growth is not possible. The days of Milk and Honey are over.
Value of Fiat paper currency (e.g. US Dollar/USD) is predicated on continual
economic growth fueled by cheap energy. Peak Oil will ensure that the USD,
globalism, the US economy, and all systems dependent on finance capital will
collapse. This shedding process is already underway. Realize that the Good Ol
Days are over and that materialism is a thing of the past.
3 – Unplug from the Mainstream Media (MSM) propaganda stream. Television,
commercial radio, daily newspapers, and most of what you read on
corporate-sponsored websites is disinformation and propaganda whose only purpose
is to control and manipulate public consciousness in order to stifle development
of human consciousness and true democracy. Kill your Television. Read, listen,
watch and support local, independent, alternative and grass-roots media. Start
your own blog, low power FM radio station, public access TV show, or ‘zine to
share the truth as you know it to be.
4 – Understand that Corporations (the Dark Forces) control our government and
politicians (CorpGov). Voting is a charade to make you believe that you have a
democratic choice. Democrats and Republicans serve the same elite puppetmasters
and are no different from one another, no matter how genuine their rhetoric
sounds. If you don’t believe that Corporations are in control, then ignore that
the Congress and the White House bailed out corrupt Banksters to the tune of
TRILLIONS while they put on a dog-and-pony show about how much a public
healthcare system will cost! The Federal Reserve will never be audited to expose
the rampant corruption. The voting systems are rigged to ensure the Elites get
the results they want. If you choose to engage in the voting game, only vote for
Third Party and Independent candidates. Corporate-backed politicians must be
flushed from the system permanently.
5 – Economically detach from The System. Know that the Finance/banking,
Insurance, and Real Estate (FIRE) economy is all about sucking money from your
pocket and transferring it to wealthy Elites. It is essentially legalized theft
of your labor and the wealth that such labor creates. Try to operate in a
cash-only fashion, under the table and out of the banks. Barter for goods and
services. Consider joining or starting a local currency (LETS) system. Take your
money out of the big corporate banks and place it with your local non-profit
community/employee Credit Union. If you are concerned about the long-term
viability of the USD and the negative effects of inflation, consider buying a
home with productive farmland, machinery & tools, or other tangible goods that
hold and can create value. You should also consider adding gold and silver to
the mix.
6 – Learn to grow, harvest and store food. Modern just-in-time (JIT) delivery
systems allow for only several days worth of food on store shelves. How long
will that food last during a (manufactured?) disaster or economic collapse.
Energy descent will make food via supermarkets harder to come by. Build your
soil and grow your own healthy, organic fruits and vegetables. Establish a
chicken coop and harvest the eggs, meat, feathers and manure. Goats are great
for brush-clearing, milk and cheese. Rabbits re-produce quickly. Ponds can be
stocked with fish. Learn about Permaculture and how it can make your homestead
more productive with less work.
7 – Get off The Grid. Make your own energy. Capture, store and purify water.
Without clean water we cannot survive. Municipal water systems are at the mercy
of evaporating budgets, aging infrastructure, energy requirements, diversion by
source communities/states, and tampering. Harvest rainwater from rooftops and in
ponds, drill wells, establish storage tanks high up for gravity feed, install
plumbing and filtration systems to ensure the water of life keeps flowing when
the power goes out. Put a hot water solar system in place. Learn to purify water
with a solar oven. Similarly, become energy independent. Install solar PV panels
and a DC battery system, install a wood stove for heat, store fuel and have a
generator in place for when the grid goes down.
8 – Learn traditional skills and healing practices. Wood working/turning,
spinning, weaving, soap making, leather crafts, knitting, sewing, blacksmithing,
metal working, herbal medicine, CPR, locksmithing, gun smithing, hunting,
fishing, trapping, archery, animal husbandry, horse-shoeing, natural building,
instrument making, coppicing, etc. Work with the local resources you have at
hand rather than imported materials. Start a local guild of artisans and
craftspeople to share knowledge and barter crafts.
9 – Build local community. Get to know your next-door neighbors and the locals.
Attend or organize community celebrations and events. Create a phone tree for
emergencies. Start a local tool/equipment exchange or barter system. Form a
Neighborhood Watch, seed savers’ exchange, or manufacturing cooperative.
Volunteer to help the needy. Support your local farmer and shop at local,
independent businesses to keep your money circulating in the local economy.
10 – Develop a personal spiritual practice. This does not mean religion!
Religion is dogma that is used to politically and economically enslave
humankind. Conversely, spirituality allows the individual to directly connect to
Source (God/Goddess, Higher Self, the Universe, whatever you wish to call it)
without an intermediate or middleman (Church, priests, dogma, institutions)
getting in the way to control you. Spiritual practices include: meditation,
yoga, Kaballah, shamanism, indigenous/Earth-based spiritual traditions, Tantra,
ceremonial magick, prayer, etc. Pick the path that works for YOU and stick with
it to develop the essential spiritual skills that you will depend on to navigate
the Transition.
Remember, LOVE is the key to our collective success.
