Chapter 1: As it was in the Days of Noah

“And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man.”

Luke 17:26 Bible, NKJV

It is quite interesting that these words stand-out in the text of the

Bible like the lyrics from a well-remembered song. These words from the

Book of Luke are as puzzling as they are powerful. When read or spoken,

they command one‟s attention today – just as they did yesterday, if only forthe fact that they present a riddle written in history and the passage of time.

Something in the mystery of this riddle made me long to solve it. Jesus,

when asked when the “End of Days” w ould come, offered the above

parable as metaphor.

The story of Noah ‟s Ark is one of my favorites for quite a number of

reasons. It is a story that offers much insight into the workings of the mindsand hearts of men and our relationship to universal or catastrophic change.

Thus, it was the perfect story to reference as one to analyze if one were

interested in the way the “End of Days” were to occur in his or her own life-

time. Just as an end comes to each individual life on this material plane,

the end eventually comes to civilizations also. Further, modern science

reveals that planets and stars ultimately meet their demise as well.

Therefore, the cycle of life is illustrated as follows:



BIRTH – GROWTH – STABILITY – DECLINE – DEATH

Other than at a sub-atomic level, is there to be found a situation in

which the preceding cycle does not occur on our physical (material) plane

of existence? If so, I would like to know. It would seem, however, that

entropy (the natural inclination of things to decay at some point or other)

has a grip on just about everything. So, for all those who wish to debate the

specifics of whether the stories of Noah and Noa h‟s Ark are literal or

figurative, there is no need. The story of Noah‟s Ark is the story of the life

and death cycle on the material plane. In all areas of life, there is a part that

survives to bear witness to the hereafter and there is another part that

meets its ultimate demise.

Our bodies return to the Earth that cultivated them, but most believe

our spirits continue on. In terms of mass, the spirit is a miniscule part of

each human being. Noah can be said to have been allowed to save the

essence of life on that part of our planet where he built the ark. The



balance was an old, decaying body whose time of death had come. 1 As

another example of life after death, the caterpillar enters the chrysalis and

transforms to exit as the beautiful butterfly. In essence, the caterpillar is

saved. Its body, however, is forever lost in the process of transformation.So, the question becomes – Should we really expect the body of our

present world to be saved when nature dictates that all bodies ultimately

go through a process of decay and death, even if they are to be reborn

anew?

Were the people of Noah‟s time really all that different from you and

me? Let‟s analyze this history logically. Noah (who was not a b oat builderby trade) built an ark in the middle of the desert, in a place where it hadn‟t

rained for decades. Further, it took him 150 years to build that thing. Isn‟t it

reasonable for the average person to withdraw consideration of joining

Noah ‟s forces if five generations had passed without any flooding what-so-

ever? Further, through the use of one‟s own senses, it could be observed

that there was no sizeable amount of rain in that area for years. Anyrational person could reasonably argue that by climbing the mountain that

was set as a back- drop to Noah‟s buildi ng project, one could escape the

flooding of the valley below. And, lastly, one would be expected to have

concern for his own safety when considering embarking upon a boat

shoddily built by someone who admittedly and most obviously (because of

where they all lived) was not a boat-builder by trade. Lastly, I find it

interesting that Noah‟s own son betook to the mountain. 2 So, let‟s all just

keep it real! Very few, if any of us would have joined Noah in the building of

the Ark.



It is no wonder Luke 17:20-21 reads – “The kingdom of God does not

come with observation; nor will they say, „See here!‟ or „See there!‟ For

indeed the kingdom of God is within you.” It is within the spirit of the

caterpillar who will become the butterfly to know when to enter the ark ofthe chrysalis. And, it is in the spirit of each person who has been chosen to

enter into the hereafter to do what is necessary to enter that state of

existence. The ultimate author of the story of our future is God Almighty,

because he is the author of the story of our continued presence in this

particular place in time. As evidence, most of us haven‟t the faintest clue of

when our bodies will perish or meet their ultimate demise. Perhaps, it is

best to petition Him (God Almighty) for a place in His Kingdom. Still, we

must realize that even the people of Noah died at someplace, sometime in

history.

Yet, some of us still have worry and concern for all those who will not

make it. It is the human thing to do. There are six billion people on this

planet. So, at times, it is easy to get caught-up in thoughts of the sufferingof the masses of people who die (or worse, suffer day-in and day-out) on

our planet. This feeling is only further exacerbated by the doom and gloom

talk of the „2012ers‟ who are predicting that our world will face every

imaginable calamity between now and December of 2012. This can be

really scary stuff. Still, the truth is – we are only the conduits through which

life is brought into existence. None of us gives birth to the spirit, which is

the essence of who we are.

Again, the solution to this dilemma is to embrace the natural life cycle

for physical beings. Our bodies are meant to go through the process of

decay and death, whether it is a more rapid and unexpected decay or the



natural process of aging. Most of the readers of this book will be residents

of the United States of America, Canada, or the United Kingdom. Even with

all the conspiracies that may or may not be true, most Westerners live lives

that are far more comfortable than the lives lived by many other people inour world. We sing, “God Bless America”, but in truth – God has already

blessed America hundreds-of-millions of times over. We are just as much

the beneficiaries of all the hard work of engineers and builders of

yesterday, as we are the beneficiaries of all the ugliness that has made

America one of the greatest nations in our world today. By right of the fact

that this nation is not a desolate wasteland beset on all sides by the

ravages of war and the scourge of famine and disease, most of this great

land can truly be said to be a sort of heaven on earth.

Again, the material of our civilization will not last. Only the spirit will

withstand the ultimate test that time presents. 3 It may be two, twenty, two-

hundred, or two-thousand years from now, but all that we see will one day

be no more. The cycle of life on our planet dictates that only a remnant ofwhat was will be left. So, let us appreciate that which we have. The late

Senator Robert Kennedy said, “May you live in interesting times.” I would

say – our times are far more than interesting. We live in extraordinary

times. With the internet, I can be witness to one-hundred realities in an

hour or one-thousand in a day. Our technology lends to so much creativity

that one could not take-in all that is created in one year if one chose to take

a lifetime to do just that. For those whose eyes are open to it, the glorious

future we‟ve been awaiting has arrived. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., just one

day before he was assassinated, left us these words:



“Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its

place. But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do

God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And

I've looked over. And I've seen the Promised Land. I may not

get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as

a people, will get to the Promised L and!” 4

Consider these words from a man who was not so selfish that he

could not accept the process of decay and death that comes with birth,

growth, and stability. Could this manner of acceptance be one of the

hallmarks of true courage and greatness? It is one thing to be able to

embrace all the beauty, splendor, and opportunity that life has to offer. It is

an altogether different thing to be able to accept that we must all leave this

world one day. And, most of us don‟t leave here smiling and jumpi ng for

joy. We drift from this life having fought as hard as we are able to hold onto

what‟s left of our bodies. I think it is sheer insanity that we manufacture and

amass weapons designed to destroy the human body faster than it will

decay naturally. Sixty to seventy years is not a long time to live at all.

Now, there are some of us who have allowed ourselves to become so

attentive to decay and death that we miss most of the creative endeavors

of our time. Informing others about the ugly side of life has become a sort

of rock behind which hides those who are afraid to endeavor to do

something truly creative and different for fear of ridicule and rejection. Still,

others are so thoroughly immersed in the idea that the world could end at

any moment that they wouldn‟t dare concentrat e on living their best life or

making the world a better place for themselves and others. Well, to all the

doom-peddlers, I have news for you. The process is the same for all of us.



We will all experience decay and we will all certainly die. So, to focus one‟s

time and energy on decay and death as a means of doing anything other

than improving one ‟s quality of life is senseless.

Some religious groups have adopted a sort of gang mentality

whereby they promote strength in numbers to new members who are

encouraged to adopt the position that „all of us cannot be wrong‟. Thus,

new congregants are allowed to get lost in the crowd. They hide within the

illusion of being safely on the side of “right”. The ir rationale becomes “If I‟m

wrong, then there are a whole lot of people on the side of wrong with me.”

Some call this “group think”. Others call it the “mob mentality”. Yet,something in the soul of man yearns for safety and security, even if the

basis upon which that feeling is achieved makes no sense what-so-ever. A

catastrophic earthquake has little concern about the number of people in

your group when it strikes.

NOTE: I have found that that there is far more safety and security in accepting that I am

not in control. I never have been. And, I never will be. So, I don‟t seek out that which I am not meant to find. We can, however, find gratitude and appreciation for the beautiful

things in our world and the blessing of life. Each moment is a gift. We might not be able

to control every aspect of this third-dimensional reality, but we can find love, dignity, and

self-respect if we search for them. I focus on what I can have, because I will never have

complete control.

Maybe complete control rests with the God of some religion. Funny

thing about the kind of logic that makes us join religious groups is – if and

when tragedy does strike any group of religious people, that event is

viewed as a test from God anyway. So, anyone who makes it through the

actual moment when catastrophe strikes is strengthened in his or her



position – that God saves the righteous and that they have passed the test.

Thus, religion can be said to affirm one‟s hope in the hereafter by d efault. If

one dies, one goes to heaven. If one lives, God has saved him and he is

meant to go on. So, the more consideration we give to the ideas of “theEnd of Days” and the “Hereafter”, the more we realize that those who will

not be here should not worry about it and that those who will be here

(provided they believe in some higher power or reason for being) will likely

find just cause to go on living. Thus, religion is a fascinating program for the

security and comfort it offers its adherents. For all its merit, the sobering

sting of science is ill-equipped to offer us such an opiate.



Chapter 2: The Three Powers That Be

Information is power. And, in determining t he „who, what, when,

where, why, and how ‟ of the “End of Days”, we are afforded the power to

act and react in a manner that will best result in our lives being saved.

Simply put, there are three forces capable of causing a global catastrophe

that could wipe-out most or all of humanity. They are - the forces of evil, the

forces of good, or the forces of mother-nature.

For the sake of argument, let‟s just suppose that there are forces of

good in the Universe. Whether they are humanoids, spirit-forces, or alien,

let‟s just say there are beings out there with an interest in keeping

earthlings alive. Now, in 100 years of Hollywood movies, we have never

seen a film where the good guy is the one plotting to blow-up the world. So,

we have to ask ourselves if it was God who was responsible for the flood in

Noah‟s time or if it was simply an act of mother-nature that God or some

lord in that time gave Noah warning about? Given our analysis of the Noahstory in chapter one, is it more reasonable to think that God would kill the

People of Noah‟s Day or more likely that they were going to die anyway?

Perhaps, the answer to the riddle of Noah‟s Ark is that God told Noah to

build it because He (God) had no intention of saving those people. If he did,

I am certain He would have come up with a more viable solution.

Isn‟t it more logical to assume that the forces of good could see thatglobal change would result from this cataclysm and told Noah to build the

ark than to think that God caused the flood himself? Let‟s just take a

rational look at all of this. Should we even give consideration to the fact that

Noah and his family were the ONLY decent people in the entire world at



that time? If we are told to look at the story of Noah in determining what the

situation will be like at the “End of Days”, then our chances of surviving

things to come in the near future are about 1-in-500 million. I mean – if only

Noah and his family escaped the flood, why should anyone reading this(including myself) presume that our family is so righteous that we would be

one of the only families to escape divine judgment? Mark Zuckerberg is the

founder of Facebook. Only one of his five- million friends is on the „saving -

list‟. So, it makes no sense to make a literal interpretation of the scripture,

unless you want to follow that stream of logic to its inevitable conclusion –

that neither you nor I would be saved from this hypothetical global

cataclysm.

Perhaps, it is more safe to assume that Noah and those with him

were the only ones local to that area to escape the flood. Many of the

indigenous people of our planet say that their histories date back tens-of-

thousands of years. And, these people are not descendants of Noah. So,

the story of Noah seems to be a more modern anecdote, with a messagefor a people of modern times. It is interesting that the writers and producers

of the blockbuster movie “2012” determined that Africa (the Motherland)

would be the only place for arks to land in surviving their fictional depiction

of a catastrophe of global proportions. Something deep within the soul of

man tells us that if humanity is to be compared to a tree of any kind, the

roots of that tree must be able to withstand the forces of man and mother-

nature. We all have our roots in the mother land.

There is a hermetic principle – As above, so below . This principle

states that every reality in the heavens has a corresponding reality here on

Earth. So, if the good guys are good here on Earth, we can only suspect



the sign that God uses in determining just how far out of alignment we are

from his „goodness‟? Still, I think we can safely argue that it is not the

intention of the “God of Good” to teach us a lesson by wiping out nearly all

of humanity. So, this leaves us with only two possibilities.

Mother Nature: A Force to Be Reckoned With

Imagine you are in a ship orbiting the Earth in

outer-space. You and your fellow space-travelers

have developed a means of studying planets todetermine the behavior of such. In your travels,

you come upon this planet – Earth. You determine

that the civilization of planet Earth is advancing at

a slow, but steady pace. Many of the problems

that plague the planet Earth are ones your civilization has long since

overcome. And, while you do not want to interfere in the growth and

development of the people of Earth, you have determined that these

Earthlings are ill-equipped to handle the cataclysm that will inevitably strike

as a result of the Earth‟s convulsing in or around the Earth year of 2012.

So, your ship returns home to discuss the issue with the Galactic

Federation and the counsel determines that this planet will receive help. It

makes a determination of just what kind of help this planet is to receive and

the limits beyond which space travelers are not to go in helping this

developing orb-ship, Earth. So, you and your fellow space travelers return

to Earth to begin making people more aware of what is to occur. Since the

rules prohibit your landing at the White House and walking right up-to the



front door, you instead offer various signs of your presence and your

willingness to help. Noticing that world governments have not developed

the level of concern for their people necessary to do what‟s in the people‟s

best interest, you visit both with the government and with various membersof society. In a very slow and methodic way, people are made more aware

of the symbiosis that exists between humanoids, planets, stars, and cosmic

forces of every imaginable type.

At the heart of the story you‟ve just read is the idea that for all we

know about mother-nature there is so much that we still do n‟ t know. We

don‟t have the perspective with which to determine the degree to whichEarth can undergo incredible changes in remarkably short periods of time.

Modern scientists have been equipped to chart global change for less than

100 years on a planet with billions of years of history of global change

affecting humanity. It‟s like we‟re dancing with this beautiful lady (mother

Earth) in the dark. And, w e haven‟t the faintest idea of her many dips and

turns or what she may bump into as she floats round-and-round about theroom.

So, scientists (some with bigger imaginations than others) say that

we should expect everything from clear and sunny skies to volcanic

eruptions and massive earthquakes in 2012 and years to follow. I think we

can safely say that the good guys are not out to get us. The Earth,

however, poses a considerably greater threat to our well-being. For one,she sits in heaven, where she is not only affected by our ignorance and our

own destructive nature, but she is also subject to the influence of heavenly

bodies and cosmic phenomena both known and unknown. As most of the

planet continues to pro-create mindlessly, I get the feeling that we are like



pins just waiting to be mowed down by the next cosmic bowling ball to

make it down the lane. So, the Earth, my friends, is a real X – factor.

Thankfully, the historic record informs us of what past civilizations

have faced in dealing with our mother Earth. Historians and scientists have

examined this data as a means of giving us their best guesses at things to

come. Some try to dismiss this information as inconsequential or invalid.

This writer, however, would advise against doing so because information is

power. If I flipped a coin and it landed on tails four times, (all things being

equal) common sense would tell me that this coin would have a greater

chance of landing on heads with the next flip. To discount the informationavailable about the previous flips is to leave the future totally to chance. In

later chapters of this book, we will examine some of the most likely

scenarios for what may befall our Earth in 2012 and the years to follow

based on what scientists and historians have uncovered. To make light of

this information is to leave our collective futures totally to chance. And, I

don‟t like that idea too much. The Bad Guys

The lege ndary comedian and lecturer Dick Gregory put it best. “There

are people who would kill GOD if given a chance.” Now, that‟s saying

something. In fact, that‟s all the information we need in determining the

threat level of the true “bad guys”. If someone woul d kill the one who was

most probably responsible for his own creation, we would indeed consider

that someone evil. Further, it is logical to suspect that the same Creator

might also play a role in the sustenance of life in our Universe. So, “pure

evil” would be total disregard for one‟s Creator. We also depend on this



planet and our fellow man for the sustenance of life. So, closely associated

with pure evil would be anyone who had total disregard for our planet and

human life.

Sadly, this planet is plagued with that type of evil, day-in and day-out.

There are people who somehow got lost along the way. They could care

less about our mother Earth or anyone on it. The lucky ones were born into

races, places, and positions of power and many of them use those

positions as perches from which to cast their evil spells. These spells take

the form of chemical spills, chem.-trails, biological and nuclear weapons,

wars, and every manner of experimentation. A nuclear holocaust could killeveryone. So, along with mother-nature, the bad guys are an apparent

threat.



Chapter 3: Woe unto the Date Givers!

I really don‟t wish woe on anyone, but if not woe then

at least - “Whoa unto the date- givers”. Whoa means

hold-up. Whoa means slow-down. Whoa means stop.

Stop giving dates. According to one website, Jesus is

coming back in May of 2011. 5 Google “the Rapture ”

and you will discover that the Rapture will happen in

September of 2011 according to one website. And, as

we all know, the world will end in 2012. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. And, to allthe believers out there, don‟t be stupid, stupid, stupid.

We must realize that every date of importance in our calendar was

determined to be important by man and man alone. And, while there is

definite correspondence with cosmic occurrences and events here on

Earth, there is very little (if any) significance to most dates that are picked

either willy-nilly or because they simply sound good. Nothing of significantimportance happened on 10-10-10 or 1-11-11, unless someone made it

news. And, unless someone dresses up in the image of Jesus for which we

are most familiar and plans a big parade for himself, it is likely Christ will

not be returning in May of 2011. Even if Jesus did return, he would have to

schedule some kind of press conference to let everyone know. Further, he

would have to bring proof that he is the real Jesus.From time to time, our collective energy does create reality. That is –

through our own thoughts and actions, we fulfill prophesy. If a newscaster

says that hundreds of people are expected to line-up in a few days to buy

tickets to a play-off game or to purchase some new gaming system, the



energy can begin to build from the moment of that report until the vision is

fulfilled. Normally, if there is a history of an event happening like clock-

work, someone can drop a date out there and be spot-on in making a

prediction. For example, I predict that right around December 23, 2011people are going to get more focused on their families for a few days. It

doesn‟t take a rocket scientist to realize that Christmas is two days from

December 23 rd and that Americans always focus a little more on their family

at Christmas time. British meteorologist Piers Corbyn was able to predict

that the next few winters would be the coldest and snowiest on record. Is

he a prophet? No! He simply used the hundreds of years worth of data

available on world weather patterns and noticed that there were periods in

which the weather was far worse than at other periods.

Now, before we get into an analysis of all of the predictions that were

either so nebulous that they could come to pass on any day in any given

year of the last 2,000 calendar years, let‟s talk a bit about the predictions

that absolutely did not come to pass. Years ago, I was watching one of theafternoon talk shows, where famed psychic Sylvia Browne was asked if the

future President George H. W. Bush Jr. would be president for a second

term. Well, she was emphatic in stating that he would not be in the White

House for a second term. It was a year or so before the election, but I was

determined to use her prediction as a litmus test of sorts. Well, a year later,

Bush was in the Oval Office once again. And, I had to write Sylvia Browne

off as another fraud whose gift for seeing the future was not as much about

psychic ability as it was about suckering people to secure a salary. Don‟t

get me wrong. There are some very good psychics and channels out there.

I‟ve witnessed their work with my own eyes and ears. I‟m just saying –



there are some who lose that ability and others who‟ve never had it to

begin with. So, be careful.

I know. I know. We want to believe. We want desperately to believe.

There is something magical about having an ability to see the future,

because there is something in m an that yearns to “know with certainty”. In

a world where we are asked to believe, believe, believe, something in us

tells us that we ca n “know” for sure.

Thing is – some make the mistake of looking to psychics for knowledge that

can only be gained from the studies of mathematicians, scientists and

researchers. Also, there is something to be said for „going within‟. No one

else occupies the space in time where you are right now. You have a very

unique perspective on the world. So, why should anyone feel they have the

authority to determine your future, without a thorough understanding ofyour perspective on the world? General observations can be made about

anyone, but the future for the most part remains unwritten for everyone.

If I am someone who makes money from claims I have psychic

abilities, then people have a right to presume that I might be a fraud if my



predictions do not come to pass. Australian channel, Blossom Goodchild,

predicted that a large UFO would appear over the skies of some major city

in our world on October 14, 2008. The internet was abuzz with excitement,

as Blossom bravely blogged and video-logged messages from our UFObrothers up-to the very day of the would-be sighting. Well, turns out we

were not ready for a visitation from our larger space family at that moment

in time . To Blossom‟s chagrin, they apparently had no problem reneging on

their repeated promises to show-up. Poor blossom, who was just as

shocked as all of us that there was no sighting, is still in time-out waiting for

all this to blow-over. And, it may take another three to five years before she

can show her face in the New Age community again.

To me, the very premise on which most predictions are made is false.

The very idea of predicting a future event with pin-point accuracy pre-

supposes there is only one possible timeline. Common sense tells us this

notion is completely false. As I write this, I just finished drinking a cup of

coffee and eating donuts. I have two choices. I can either put the cup andwrapper in the trash now or continue writing. Two possible futures present

themselves. You take a guess at what I am going to do. Well, if you

guessed that I would continue writing, you‟re right. I can put this trash in the

can when I get up. Anyone who knows me knows I believe in conservation

of energy. Armed with that knowledge, they would be better able to predict

the future I chose than most.

Well, guess what? I changed my mind again. For the purposes of

writing this book, I felt it best that I act in a less predictable manner. I just

got up and threw the cup and wrapper in the trash. The aforementioned

experience offers insight into the basic challenges inherent in predicting the



future – the first being that there are almost always at least two possibilities

that present themselves. Second, if one is not completely in control of a

given situation, how can one predict with pin-point accuracy what another

will do or is capable of doing? To attempt to do so would be illogical. It isnot logical to suppose that one will do X, when one is equally capable of

doing X or Y.

When one is involuntarily committed to one possible future, we call it

fate.

When one is voluntarily committed to one possible future, we call it

destiny.

Let‟s say – a man accidently drives over a cliff. Instead of leaping

from his vehicle, he takes his chances steering it in attempts to avoid trees.

He manages to steer clear of the trees and enters the river below. He

decides that he will let his jeep become completely submerged in water

before attempting to break the window because he saw this done on

television. He finally breaks the window and crawls from the vehicle. His

foot, however, gets caught in the seatbelt and he begins to lose valuable

oxygen. No matter how much he struggles, he cannot release his foot. He

realizes that he is out of options and begins to come to grips with the

possibility that it is his fate to die in this crash. So, he loosens his grip and

just as he realizes that he cannot hold his breath any longer his foot slips

loose from the belt. Then, he uses his last bit of energy to thrust himself to

the surface.

As the writer, I voluntarily committed the victim of this horrible

accident to one possibility – life. As the writer, I determined it was his



destiny to live. Before that, he was fated to drown with that vehicle. That,

my friends, is the difference between destiny and fate. I shaped the crash

victim‟s destiny such that the crash victim was destined to live. Life is about

choices. To have a pre-destined future means that someone has the powerto determine that future. To be fated to a certain future means that one

does not have the power to change one‟s future. Ours must be a

preoccupation with changing destiny for ourselves and those willing to

accept our help. Whenever possible, we must stare into the deathly gaze of

fate and say that we choose destiny. This is the best we can hope for.

Those who make predictions that do not take into account otherpossibilities are either ignorant of those possibilities (and the fate to which

they commit others in making these rock-solid predictions) or ill-intentioned.

The Russian seer Baba Vanga boasted a fairly good hit ratio with her

prophecies. Still, she was careful to point out that at least two possible

futures could present themselves in any given scenario. So, it should come

as no surprise that while she predicted that World War III would begin inDecember of 2010, another future altogether presented itself. Prophecies

and predictions should always be accompanied by the following disclaimer:

Warning: What I predicted may or may not happen – I don ’ t know!

Furthermore, what any one man sees in a vision is subjective. That is

– it is subject to his interpretation of the viewer. While then President Bush

was in Office in 2006, an acquaintance of mine shared a vision of a

president being assassinated in the White House. He said that he heard

the voice of GOD, in which GOD said – “the president is a good man and

that one day they would say he was missing. Shortly after that, the world as



we know it will end. ” With all my heart, I believe this was my friend ‟s

genuine experience. However, I knew then as I know now that he had n‟t

the faintest clue about how visions work. At that time, I made a silent

prediction myself – that none of this would come to pass exactly as heenvisioned it.

My friend made his first mistake in not realizing that we relate to

things we can easily recognize. So, he was shown the image of a president

that he was most able to recognize as „a president ‟. Second, his insights

into the unfolding events were given as highlights. However, his mind

immediately began filling in the blanks. This is what the human mind does.Your new girlfriend doesn‟t call you all day. You immediately assume that

she doesn‟t like you. Or, you assume that she‟s probably in communication

with the old boyfriend. Or, worse, you think she has been in a car accident.

As another example, if you saw someone shot, you would immediately

assume that the gun was real and that the victim was hurt. After running

home, you might turn on the news hoping to catch the story and to learnwho got shot. The whole event, however, could have been staged for any

number of reasons.

Truth is – what we perceive as true is not necessarily true or real. It is

an observation – yes. It is our experience – yes. It is factual – yes. Still, it is

not an objective reality on which all can rely. It is only a perspective on the

broader reality. In the case of my acquaintance, time proved hisinterpretation of his experience to be completely wrong. That does not

necessarily invalidate the experience, but his interpretation was proven

false. I am certain that he is examining this experience in a new light given

events that have transpired in the five years since he shared that story.



This brings me to my final point. Date givers often become date

adjusters. There is always some convenient excuse as to why that which

was prophesied to happen last week will instead happen next week. If 2012

fizzles, I think that humanity will be through with those who pencil-in datesin the prophetic datebook for some time. And, that‟s a good thing. Perhaps,

then we will all realize that only those events over which we give ourselves

total control are destined to come to pass. In my view, we need to take

more personal and collective responsibility and accountability for what goes

on in our world. Further, we are all fated to die at some point or another.

Since this is a reality over which most of us have little or no control, to me it

is a bit self-deceptive to say that one has the ability to accurately predict

any future outside of the next few moments. Let ‟s work on our ability to

create and influence this world in a real way and not let the prophecies of

yesterday determine the world of our tomorrows.



Chapter 4: Beyond Each Road A Destination

What if you were asked to choose from three doors? What if each

door led to a separate destination – one heavenly, one earthly, and one toa hellish underworld? And, what if you were not allowed to see beyond any

of the three doors before choosing? What means and methods would you

use to determine which door to take? You might visually assess each door

taking in its color and shape. You might use your sense of touch to

determine which was cold, which was warm, and which was hot. If you

were able, you might inquire about the experience of those who had gonebefore you or question the one asking you to choose. How would you really

feel if you were just told to guess – to choose a door without knowing

where each door leads?

Thankfully, life isn‟t like that at all. To those who are attentive, life

almost always gives us clues as to the right road to take. A door is the

wrong analogy to use altogether. When we think of a door, we think of theunknown in what might lie beyond that door. Immediately, some mystery

presents itself. Life, however, is more analogous to the fork in the road.

Most often, you can see the immediate steps you are about to take and you

have some idea of where those steps will lead. In many cases, you can see

for miles down any given road. Often, you are even afforded road signs,

distances, and the opportunity to turn around and take a different route or

to take a side path and get onto a better road if you find you are on a road

that doesn‟t suit you.

Both metaphysics and monotheistic religion teach of three ultimate

destinations and three paths leading to these destinations. When we talk



about the End of Days or the Hereafter, we are talking about a destination

in time that either ends our journey altogether or leads to some new point

at which our journey will continue. Does 2012 mark an end to one leg of

humanities journey and the beginning of another? Of that, I am not certain.What I am more certain about is that we are entering into a period of time

that will mark the end of one leg of humanity‟s journey and the beginning of

a new one for all of us. Whether it happens for YOU in 2012, 2014, or

sometime there-after, it is likely that you will recognize the shift if you pay

attention.

It is nearly impossible to complete this book and still remain blind tothe shift as it occurs. What this book offers is a peak at what the road

ahead looks like. So, chances are – if you are reading this book, you will

recognize changes taking place both now and in the near future. I use the

word “as” because very little happens in an instant. Once pregnant, it takes

nine months for a mother to manifest life. And, it takes 18 to 21 years for

the human body to mature. Even the growth of trees and the manifestationof fruits and vegetables take time. So, why should we expect the End to

come in one moment of time? The exploding star we notice today may

have actually collapsed billions of light years ago. So, one day we simply

wake up to the realization that the world that was changing over time is

totally different than it was before. Instant and irreversible change (at least

on a global scale) is the stuff of Hollywood cinema.

As proof, there were massive earthquakes in Afghanistan, Haiti, and

Indonesia. Did those earthquakes affect humanity‟s response to

catastrophe on a global level? I would like to respectfully submit that I don‟t

think so. While some individuals have certainly changed the way they view



and respond to environmental change, collectively we awaken every day as

if little ever happened. We could have chosen to point to those events as

indications that the End of Days had arrived. We could have celebrated the

fact that while millions lost their lives, humanity survived those events. Wecould adopt the position that we are in-fact in the Hereafter. We could say

that heaven on earth is having running water, a working toilet, and the

ability to walk into a store and hand someone paper for food. But, we

haven‟t adopted that position that we are in paradise, have we? Apparently,

our deepest empathy and sympathies are reserved for those closest to our

individual realities. So, this “end ” stuff is as subjective as it is suspect.

Yet, we still await the End of Days. And, if we don‟t feel it personally,

it simply didn‟t occur. Perhaps, future generations will take a more holistic

look at this period in history and instantly recognize it as the end of one age

and the beginning of a new one. The only thing left to history will be the

events that marked historic changes in life as we know it and the evolution

of man. We, however, live each moment, day by day, hour by hour, secondby second, finding both joy and pain in living. We seldom see things from

any perspective other than our own – a perspective colored by television

news and cinema, readjusted by religious and philosophic rhetoric, and

weighed by what the public is willing to accept. I am not referring to the

words of scripture. Those words have stood the test of time. However, one

should take note that the spin on those words changes to fit the

circumstance. So, it is the duty of the religious adherent to read scripture

for him or herself and obtain some kind of understanding of what this

history says about the recursive cycles of the world in which he or she

lives.



It is our journey through time that leads each of us to an eventual

destination. In the third dimension, the ultimate destination is physical

death. Our bodies go through a cycle that eventually returns us to the

earth. We leave our shared experiences and our possessions to our lovedones. In metaphysics, there are the concepts of density and dimension.

Density deals with object orientation in space, while dimension deals with

consciousness orientation in space. In metaphysics, even time is a form of

space. Someone might say, “It happened somewhere in the 21 st century.”

Thus, everything occurs at someplace in time just as it occurs somewhere

in space. So, the third dimension is the place where our consciousness

resides while on Earth. The 4 th dimension is the place where our

consciousness resides in time. And, the 5 th dimension is the place where

our consciousness resides beyond time.

If one questions the existence of a place beyond time, he can look to

his own life for evidence that this place exists. If it is Sunday at 10AM in the

U.S. during football season and one loves football, he willsee himself in a place beyond 1PM watching the NFL

game of his choice. Almost as certain as the sun does

rise, this 5 th dimensional reality will present itself. And,

that person will travel through the 4 th dimensional time stream to get to that

intended destination. A true fan will let nothing stop him from creating this

reality.

So, what does this have to do with the three destinations or possible

destinies on the material plane? Well, there is heaven, there is continued

existence on E arth, and there is hell. Let‟s use the above example to

determine which state is heaven, which is a more earthly or temporal



existence, and what would constitute a hellish existence. Heaven (or a 5 th

dimensional existence) is where one truly desires to be at any given time. It

is the place in which one sees self in the future, regardless of how short or

long the time-line. Thus, one with no concept or view of the future would be one with no access to heaven. Earthly existence (a temporal existence,

which is a better way of saying it) is the 4 th dimensional time stream.

Because we live in a physical / material reality (or 3 rd density), we have to

travel through time to get to where we want to go. Hell, on the other hand,

is stagnation (or no-time). In other planes of existence, it might be best to

have time stand still. If you‟re experience what you want to experience, why

would you want to be concerned with time? On this plane, if time were to

stop for a person at 10AM, that reality would constitute hell.

Let‟s give a few examples. What if our football fan‟s car stopped on

the highway at 10AM? Or, worse – what if the roof caved-in trapping him

under wooden beams and sheetrock? Or, what if that same person were to

get arrested at 10AM? All of these events essentially stop time, becausethat person had an intended destination in time. A transient, with nowhere

to go and nothing to do, might do far better in a situation like this . He wasn‟t

making any time anyway. There‟s a phrase I coined that I like to share with

people from time to time. “When the ceiling falls, it hits the person closest

to it first.” The higher you are, the harder you fall. So, it is essential that

angels keep their wings.

SO, WHAT FOLLOWS IS THE SECRET TO 5 TH DIMENSIONAL LIVING (OR

HEAVENLY EXISTENCE) FROM THE METAPHYSICAL POINT-OF-VIEW.

When a desired time-line leads to the 5 th dimensional reality of your

choosing and liking follow it. When a desired timeline will not lead to the 5 th



dimension reality of your choosing, immediately create a new desire and

timeline based upon the information (or observable reality) available in the

moment. Further, if the desired 5 th dimension reality (or the destination) no

longer exists, it is essential to create another heavenly state of existence (or a new destination) as soon as one is able.

The above is the key to getting into and staying in heaven while on

Earth. You may have heard the saying – wealthy people do what they want

to do, while poor people do what they have to do. The one who possesses

true wealth possesses a wealth of possibilities and is not limited in the

scope of what can be accomplished. You may have also heard the saying – “ Great minds focus on ideas. Average minds focus on events. And, small

minds focus on people. ” Well I say – the greatest minds focus on ideas

more than events and the events of their desires more than reacting to

other people. The good idea (or creative inspiration) constitutes heaven. All

events occur in the 4 th dimensional time stream. And, the people we

encounter (especially those with no creative ambition) are the most capableof dragging us into hell.

One of the keys to getting what you desire is to have a pure desire for

it. If one‟s desired intention is to bring something into reality (and one sets

the proper time line), that desire can be made real. However, the timeline is

very important. In my book, What the Creator Knows I talk about the Law of

Momentum. Permissions must be obtained when we seek to create anynew reality. Permissions are the tolls we pay on the road through time to

our destination, because to get where we desire to go (at least in this

dimension) requires that we cross into the territories of others. Universal

Law dictates that this cannot be done without permission. Those who make



a habit of passing into the territory of others without permission eventually

find their momentum stopped. This is the cause for the dissolution of most

relationships, whether familial or romantic. Just because someone is a

member of your family (by default) or in a relationship with you (by consent)doesn‟t mean they have the right to cross i nto your territory in every way

without permission. My brother doesn‟t get a key to my house because he‟s

my brother. And, my girlfriend doesn‟t get access to my e -mail because she

is my girlfriend.

The momentum of life requires that we are allowed a certain amount

of “operating room”. Imagine two planets with no room to orbit on their own.They would smash into one another. For those who‟ve watched the movie

“Crash”, you saw first -hand the consequences of living in a world where no

one sought permissions. Those people simply crashed into one another

and the momentum they were building with their lives came to a sudden

halt. So, 5 th dimensional living is not about doing what you want to do,

regardless of whom or what. It is as much about respecting the space,time, and energy resources of others as it is about fulfilling your goals. This

is how your fifth dimensional existence (or state of heavenly bliss) is

maintained.

Now, where the 5 th dimension is ultimately the living of the life one

desires or heaven on earth or the hereafter, the 4 th

dimension is life in the time-stream. Most people livesomewhere in the 4 th dimension. That is – most people

are wrestling with time. I have to get to work on time. I

have to be to be there by 9AM on Monday morning. I

can‟t wait until Friday gets here. I just got over hump-



day (Wednesday). I get so happy right around Christmas time. Don‟t bother

coming if you cannot be on-time. I work all the time. You need to stop

playing all the time. Maybe you‟ll win the game next -time. I want to spend

more time with my family. If you don‟t get in on this by a certain time, you‟regoing to miss out. Do you have a minute? It will only take a few seconds.

Time! Time! Time! Time! Time! 4 th dimensional existence is temporal

existence and tempo has everything to do with time.

I disagree with those who say time is an illusion. Perhaps , it doesn‟t

apply to other dimensions and realities, but it is obviously very real to those

who are caught in the time-stream. The rat race is about the misuse of bothone‟s time and energy. It is not just that we are rats on a wheel. That wheel

is connected to a generator. And, the energy that is generated from our

movement is owned by someone else. This is not necessarily a bad thing if

you like to run on a wheel and get paid to do it. Thing is – some people

don‟t like to run. Others ha te the monotony of the wheel. Yet, the middle

path is one of balance. You win some. You lose some. You work hard. Youplay hard. And, while some desire to abolish this reality altogether, with

what would they replace it?

There are places where millions of people sit idle all day with little or

nothing to do. They are not on anyone‟s clock. And, they don‟t receive a

paycheck. And, in places where people would desire to do otherwise, they

are high-tailing it for America. The building of anything substantial requiresmomentum. And, momentum requires order. Order presupposes the

healthy respect for and the proper use of time. People who are out-of-time

or on permanent down- time don‟t build pyramids. They are not likely to

install working plumbing or to maintain libraries and schools. This planet is



not a time-free zone. It is more of a time neutral zone. You can choose to

make time, to exist within time, or to be out-of- time. It‟s up to you.

Many students of metaphysics confuse density with dimension. Thus,

the words “We are moving into the 5 th dimension” can be confusing. Some

of us are becoming more conscious of the fact that we choose our destinies

in many respects. So, in that sense, we are moving into the 5 th dimension.

However, with respect to Earth object orientation, it is not as clear or

evident what changes will result from the Ea rth‟s being bombarded with

energies of a higher resonant vibration than physical matter. These intense

solar rays and cosmic gases continuously strike our planet. They affect allof us. The question is – what role will they play in raising our

consciousness and the energy vibration of our planet? How will the time

stream be affected? We will share the best information available on this

subject in a later chapter.

For now, let us quickly discuss hell from the metaphysician‟s point of

view. We have already said that the 5 th dimensional reality is one where wecan choose our own destiny. The 4 th dimensional time stream constitutes

the 4 th dimension. Well, hell from the metaphysical perspective is the

inability to affect change in one‟s circumstances. Hell is ignorance. Hell is

to see that heaven lies well out of one‟s abil ity to obtain it. As it relates to

consciousness, hell is somewhere between the 2 nd and 3 rd dimensions. The

person who is forced to react to everything is in hell. Hell is a reactionarystate of being. A person who feels forced to wait for things to happen is a

slave to his circumstances. Sexual slavery is the grossest form of hell.

Physical slavery is a step-up from that. Mental and spiritual enslavement

are steps- up from physical slavery. The Holy Qur‟an informs the reader that



„persecution is worse than slaughter‟, because at least in death there is no

time. In heaven, one is the apparent cause of everything in one‟s existence .

In hell, one is affected by everything in one‟s existence . He is the victim. To

the adept, everything in existence is seen as controllable substance. Thus,hell is a state in which one has no control over anything. Those who

operate in- between the states of heaven and hell are rightly called “the

middle- class”. They win some and they lose some.

Let us now examine these same concepts from the stand-point of

religion. The three monotheistic (or really henotheistic) religions (Islam,

Christianity, and Judaism) place people in three basic categories – theChosen Ones, the People, and the Evil-doers. There are many terms used

in the scriptures, but I use these terms for the sake of brevity. Let‟s discuss

them.

The Chosen Ones – I used to think that the chosen ones were those lucky

enough to have followed all of the rules and to have passed every test.

Now, I just think of the chosen ones as lucky. Chosen means that youdidn‟t choose yourself (at least not in the sense of being conscious of

making that choice). Even the Holy Qur‟an (the book of scripture of the

Muslims) , in chapter two states, “It being the same to them (the people with

no understanding) whether you warn them or warn them not, they will not

believe.” 6 Further on it states that Allah (God) controls the hearts.

Therefore, one cannot awaken him or herself to consciousness. Either youhave the spark of Divine or you do not. And, one cannot awaken another –

at least not anyone who is not already pre-programmed to have their

consciousness piqued upon receiving a good word. In terms of Heaven or

the Hereafter or the Kingdom or Paradise, it is written that the Chosen



Ones will experience this reality first. It makes sense that those who start

the race first would figure out a way to finish it first. The ones who take part

in the creation of any reality are always afforded the choice of being its first

beneficiaries.

The People – You ever heard the saying – “Ignorance is bliss.” Well, in

most cases it is. While we are learning and discovering right from wrong,

we can have a lot of fun and get away with a whole heap of non-sense. On

the other hand, one matures to realize that life is certainly unfair. Many of

the pitfalls we face in life would have been easily avoidable were we

matured in our understanding at the moment we faced the choices that led

us into them. Still , there is nothing wrong with a little “bliss”, especially

when the contrast is “pain” and “blisters”. So, I liken “the people” to a good

audience. Everyone is not meant to sing like Beyonce Knowles. Beyonce is

the chosen one. She sings her heart out. She endures the pain and blisters

of daily, dance practice, workouts, and vocal exercises to put on a show forthe people. In exchange, she is affirmed in her position as one of the

chosen. She gets attention and she is afforded the opportunity to live the

life she desires. Best of all, she can stay in her creative space.

The people, however, get a good show. They enjoy and maintain the

creation engineered by the creators. And, so it is with the Kingdom. They

will enjoy and maintain it. So, where the creators fashion creation, the

people maintain it. What the people have to watch out for are wolves

(regular folks) in chosen people‟s clothing. T o be chosen is to be chosen to

serve. So, it should come as no surprise that chosen people work



extremely hard at delivering the best quality product they can possibly

present to the world. The charlatans and tricksters of the world are simply

out to make a buck. So, if you are one of the regular people, know that you

are blessed. You are here to savor the experience . You are here to enjoythe ride. There is heaven in that experience if you embrace it for what it is.

And, truth is – we are all chosen by God. Or else, we would not be alive to

experience any of this. Further, even the People are afforded the

opportunity to create from time to time. Who did the interior design for your

home? Who picked out your wardrobe? Who chose that make, model, and

style of automobile? You did. So, accept your own and be yourself. You are

perfect just the way you are. We are moving into a time where the number

of creators will dramatically increase. This is called heaven on Earth. The

fact that you are reading this is a sign of that motion and the opening of a

new reality to us all.

The Evildoers – With that said, sadly some people just don‟t get it and get

lost along the way. With no light what-so-ever to see or guide them, theyfeel unsafe, insecure, subject to pain and are the most likely to cause

intense pain themselves. Being insecure, they bump into others. The

acknowledgement of the presence of others is proof of life for the evil ones.

The living-dead thirst to hear the sound of the living. This is why the evil

ones find it so easy to inflict pain. That pain resonates with them. It makes

them feel alive.

One has self-control to the extent that one has light of understanding

(wisdom). It is not that GOD needs to destroy the evil ones personally, they

destroy themselves. Eventually, evil meets with an overpowering force –

the ultimate overpowering force being death. Thus, the wages of sin is



death. And, because wisdom (or the light of understanding) is even

required in death, the evil ones find no escape having never prepared for

their death either. Part of the life we live is a preparation for death and the

soul‟s journey onward. Having little understanding of the death process andhaving made no preparation for life beyond the gates of hell, the evil ones

have no clue of the crime they commit against themselves. This is why no

one really gets away with anything. They get their wages on the other

side. 7

Physicist Tom Campbell said that the opposite of love is not hate. It is

fear. On this plane of existence, hate is an outgrowth of fear. The goodnews is that while some are compelled to do good things, no one is

compelled to continue in evil. The fear one has can be replaced with the

light of understanding if one so chooses. All it takes is a step made in the

right direction. Yes. It is that simple. The question is – how many are willing

to take that step? Many of the fearful have found coping mechanisms for

dealing with their fears. Bullying, carrying guns, amassing a large sums ofmoney, large armies with large caches of weapons, enacting unnecessary

laws and policies, pimping women (or men), domestic abuse, drug abuse,

and gang violence are just a few of the coping mechanisms for dealing with

fear. If we would accept the fact that few of us are or ever will be totally

secure in our bodies and that all of us are going to die eventually, we would

go a long way to alleviating a lot of the fear that plagues humanity. There is

no need to play tough. Most of us fear grief, pain, and death. It is part of the

survival instinct.



Chapter 5: Who Are You?

The ancient Egyptians had a mantra – “Know thy -self.” You are best

equipped to deal with who you are and all possible futures you face when

you know who you are. So, I have developed three surveys – each with

questions that are designed to show you “the reader” who you are. In the

next chapter, we will talk about the three destinies that

await each type in the months and years to come. It is

important to note that no one has to choose any one

destiny path. This is what destiny is all about – choices.It is important to note, however, that when we succumb

to fear we limit our choices. Robert Monroe, in his book

Far Journeys, stated that one of the unforeseen

benefits of the Monroe Institute‟s Gateway Program

was that people passed „the fear barrier‟ in realizing that they were more

than their physical body. Thus, the natural fear and security consciousness

they developed over a lifetime gave way to a newfound curiosity and sense

of adventure.

Fulfillment of the parable in Matthew 10:34-36 of Jesus coming to

separate people is found in the idea of the three main types. Jesus said, “In

the End Time, they will be getting married and givi ng in marriage.” Wait a

minute?! I didn‟t think anything was wrong with getting married. PerhapsJesus had insight into something that occurs at the end of any given Age. It

would seem that at the end of each time cycle, people are ripped apart and

placed on the time sequence most suitable to their development beyond

that point. In most cases, it is our relationships with those closest to us that



are most affected by these changes. It is natural to want to be close to our

family and friends, but what if they are on a different destiny path than the

one best suited for your destiny? It‟s a harsh reality that requires a lot of

patience and understanding on our part. The first thing to understand is thatpeople are not things. Persons are individual consciousnesses having

experiences on a material plane. We don‟t own people. We are not entitled

to their bodies. And, this becomes more evident at the end of any Age

when human bodies and minds can go through extraordinary changes.

Further, the way we relate to one another changes with the transitioning of

one age into another one.

I have designed the following survey to get us started on the path of

learning just who we are. With the exception of the category of the “evil -

doer”, there is nothing wrong with taking the other two paths. Some

espouse the idea that we should all become “super -spiritual”. The master

teacher, W. Fard Muhammad said, “Accept your own and be yourself.”

There is a reason for this. We learn from all of life‟s experiences – goodand bad. It is like learning to read. You learn the letters. Then, you learn the

sounds. Then, you put them in words. Then, you put the words in

sentences. If you never learn the letters, you never learn to read. If you

never experience the basic human behaviors, you can never understand

the diversity in people and the complexity of the human experience.

Further, you can never be invited to visit another world, because you‟d be

ill-equipped to deal with the complex nature of other humanoid beings

having never developed the insight necessary to do so.

In doing each survey, check the boxes that correspond with the types

of things you might be likely to think or say. If you notice that there are



many more boxes on one survey than another, you are likely in that

category. Don‟t get me wrong. I am certain you are a very unique

individual. However, we can and do classify human beings every day. You

are either a man or a woman. That is a classification. You are either a childor an adult. That is a classification. You are either living or dead. That is a

classification. So, let‟s not be against classifying people just because we

feel uncomfortable about labeling others. Words are a necessary means of

providing the description and clarity necessary to bring about

understanding.

____ If they try to get me, they will get it even worse. If I find out they ‟re trying, they

getting‟ it first.

____ I try to be a good Christian, but I take money out of the register every chance I get.

I know they all want to get rid of me. So, maybe, they‟ll blame Kate or Matt. I‟m not

going to let anybody play me.



If you have more than two or three checks in the last category, be

careful. This is essentially the category reserved for people who don‟t care

about other people – at all. There may be some very legitimate reason for

this. Most people who don‟t care about other people were not properlycared for themselves. If little girls are made of sugar and spice, monsters

are made of insecurity, discomfort, and fear. Still, each of us is held totally

responsible for our continued thoughts, feelings, and actions. And, each of

us must find a way to resolve the issues (negative energy) that we are

attempting to carry into the future with us.

WARNING: While it is certainly alright to offer a good word or seek tohelp change someone ‟s stars (or path) it is very dangerous to associate

with evil-doers. Judgment is often handed down at the most inopportune

times. And, there is no guarantee you will not be caught up. Further, in

placing yourself on that track, you‟re actually moving along with someone

who has no clear direction or destination – the type of person most likely to

bump into another person to get a gauge on just who they are, where theyare, and where they should be going. Death wields a sickle for a reason.

You must be strong enough to cut ties with those whose vibration is death.

Or, death will have you both.



Chapter 6: The Worst Case Scenario

The worst case scenario is to be grossly ignorant of the changes thatmay reshape existence in our world over the next one-hundred years. Weare further handicapped, because no one taught us the true history of ourworld in the first place. So, these shifts may force many to have to react inways they never considered. If one is in survival mode, he may devolve intosomething worse than he ever thought possible. Conversely, he mayevolve into someone he never considered he could become.

I digress. I guessed we never addressed why the world is beingvisited with global change at this moment in time. The easiest way to

explain it is to use the analogy of a balloon. Every empire and age is like aballoon. You fuel it with air. It expands. There is a period where it is used inthat state and either it naturally dulls and deflates or is burst and replacedby another balloon when another is needed. End-dates are like expirationdates on the balloon. Let ‟s say nothing at all happens on December 21,2012. Even if nothing happens, this is the end date to end all end dates.Thus, by default the age of worry and concern over the “End of the World ” will have ended and the sunshine of a new age of unlimited possibility andprogress can begin. After all the bluffs have been called, the last of ourfears can be broken and we can move forward in new and amazing ways.

So, where were we? Oh! The Holy Qur‟an states, “Greetings are for Allah (God), also prayers and good deeds.” Why would your greeting beimportant to God? Well, in Muslim countries, it is customary to greet aperson with words that mean „peace be with you‟. We have n o idea whatcould have agitated or upset a person only moments before our meetingthem. So, an encouraging or loving word is advisable whenever possible. In

a world like this, even that is hard to do. We are often fearful that if we sayanyt hing, we‟ve jus t invited some maniac into our reality. The result oftencauses more problems than it is worth. That‟s where the „good deeds‟ partcomes in. Since God is not known to manifest Himself often, it should beevident that His blessings come through us.



On CNN, there was a story about a homeless man who discovered$3,000 in a back-pack left lying at a bus-stop. While he certainly could havefound a thousand things to do with the money, he returned it to its owner.What happened? Well, the owner was a college student to really needed

the money to buy a car. So, he thanked the homeless man and gave him asmall reward. The experience showed the student that there were kindpeople among the homeless and the student vowed to dedicate a fewhours a week to working at one of the local shelters as a means of helpingothers. So, which is more an angel – the guy floating through the clouds onwings or that homeless man, who really needed the money but gavethought of the possible need of the one who lost it? This man‟s sacrificehad a redemptive affect on the student. Men, especially, have to make a

more firm commitment to doing the right thing, as by nature we have aconquering spirit. Fear misdirects this energy, which should always be usedfor the doing of the greater good.

I digressed a bit, but we cannot say that for the first time humanity asa whole is considering the worst case scenario. Some people face thisreality with each and every waking moment of their lives. Consider thepeople of hurricane-ravaged Haiti, earthquake-ravaged Afghanistan, orIndonesia . They don‟t need some metaphysical analysis of the worst case

scenario. They are living it (or a very close approximation of it) at this verymoment. So, the intended audiences for this book are those whoexperience the creature comforts of both the modern and the Westernworlds. Until now, we have never really had to give serious consideration tothe worst case scenario. Hurricane Katrina offered us a wake-up call.

Since my readers are primarily westerners (people in Europe, theAmericas, and the surrounding islands), my sole focus in presenting theseideas is to stir your consciousness and pique your interests. What would bethe worst case scenario for us? Well, frankly, it would be completecollapse. It would be total systems ‟failure. While some might argue that anextinction level event would present the worst case scenario, I would beg todiffer. If in one day all that we knew were no more - that would constitute afairly clean break. If, for example, a meteor smashed into the Earthrendering all life extinct in an instant that wouldn‟t be so bad. As humans,



we are not so much averse to death as we are to the pain and sufferingthat often accompany destruction. When we give it some thought, it isdisease, famine, poverty, emotional and physical pain, and the suffering ofself and loved ones that are the hardest burdens to bear. So, bring on that

meteor baby! No one should lose any sleep over a global killer like that,because it puts everyone to sleep.

As a society, we in the United States are heavily dependent upon thesystems that allow for continued commercial trade and the perpetuation ofour electrically-powered world. The complete collapse of either systemwould be devastating to our way of life. We hear a lot of talk about controlby “the system” from critics who may fail to realize the exquisite benefit ofbeing able to walk into a store and exchange paper or swipe plastic forfood. At the same time, we have to ask ourselves, “From the stand -point ofour basic physical survival, is it at all wise to be totally dependent on yourlocal retail store for food?”

Further, our technology allows for the maintenance of comfortableliving environments in many of the seasonal climate citiesin the United States. These same technological advancesallow for communications, travel, the transport of goods,

and the delivery of life-saving services. Life withoutelectrical power would be unthinkable in many of themajor cities. A prolonged period of electrical outage would

result in eventual pandemonium. The only natural disaster that would beon-par with a total loss of power would be a direct hit by an earthquake ofimmense proportion. And, that might only affect one or two cities. So, whenwe really think about it, we are mostly doomed by catastrophic possibilitiesof our own making. So, right now, thinking green (or thinking about MotherEarth and Father Sun on which we all depend) is more important than ever.

Think about it. Aside from hurricanes, most natural disasters arelocalized to limited geographic areas. So, even if we endured acatastrophic loss of life in the Baltimore area where I live due to somenatural disaster, the country as a whole could recover. What, however,would be the effects of global financial collapse? And, what would be the



effects of a catastrophic and continued loss of power? Are there bad guyswith the capacity for causing either scenario to unfold? Are the bad guyscapable of causing a catastrophic and continued loss of power as a meansof diverting attention from eminent financial collapse? While it is beyond the

scope of this book, it is worth it to ask and answer these very seriousquestions. Further, we must attain and maintain a degree of self-sufficiency, while being certain to appreciate the benefits of the presentsystem. Historian and lecturer Bobby Hemmitt said something that ticklesme to this day. In one lecture, he remarked “Give me Wal-mart or give medeath.” Careful to appreciate life‟ s conveniences, we must be even morecareful about inattention to the provision of life ‟s basic necessities.

As it relates to bad guys, to me – whether darkness falls as a result ofa cyber attack or someone flipping the switch, this constitutes the worstcase scenario. Rather than deal with an angry populous hell-bent onbecoming more informed about why they are in an ever-worseningcondition, the powers-that-be could attempt to divert our focus. And, whatbetter way to divert the attention of the masses than to turn out the lights,since there is nothing people fear more than being in the dark. The crazything is – this frightening scenario is also our most likely threat frommother-nature too. However, mother-nature has a way of doing thingsalong the magnitude of one-hundred to 1,000 times that of which man iscapable. The bad guys might be able to turn out the lights, but mother-nature with her awesome power can halt the functioning of most electronicdevices on Earth. We will talk about that in the next chapter of this book.

For now, please realize that mother-nature has a mother. She is thecosmic mother and when she says it is time for bed that means lights outfor everyone – no exceptions. And, while man can hurl rocks and mother-nature throws boulders, the cosmic mother (Big Mama) will hurl a mountainthe size of a continent at your head. Duck that, if you‟re bad enough. Soundengineer, Preston Nichols, in one interview remarked that the probability isgreater than 50% that the cosmic weather affecting our sun could have theultimate effect of causing the malfunction of nearly every electronic deviceon Earth. It‟s one thing to experience power outages in this or that part of town. It is another thing altogether when even your car will not start. What



could result from a catastrophic, total loss of power is unknown. We havenever had to experience such a horror. Scientists like Dan Winter,researchers like Susan Joy Rennison, and metaphysicians like Dr. DelbertBlair echo the same sentiments. Space weather and our sun are beginning

to have a remarkable affect on Earth‟s atmospheric conditions. We willdiscuss possible solutions to all of this in a later chapter.



Chapter 7: All Signs Point to the Sun

S ome of the boldest scientific predictions state there is a 100%probability that the cosmically-charged, solar energy entering ouratmosphere will negatively affect the technology on which we depend mostheavily in the next few years. It is not only scientists though.Meteorologists, religious scholars, historians, and metaphysicians are allsinging the same tune on the basis of what weather patterns, archeologicalobservations and ancient text reveal about what will happen at this momentin time . Our Earth‟s sun is unpredictable and could change the game at anymoment. While she goes through regular cycles, researchers point to thefact that we are getting closer to the galactic center as evidence that wedon‟t know what‟s going to happen in years to come. Humanity must bemade aware. And, humanity must be made ready. I heard Dan Winter (theman responsible for the math that helps doctors to understand EKGreadings) say – the increased wind would be one of the first signs of thisglobal change. Well, I live in Baltimore and I know with certainty that thiswinter has been one of the most-windy on record. I have been registeringcomplaints about the weather from people who‟ve ne ver complained aboutthe wind here in Baltimore before. And, while we have had our snowy

winters, the winter of 2010 has been blistering cold due to the high winds.So, we can only hope that the changes to come are for the better.

There is talk of the star, Betelgeuse, going supernova as early as nextyear. Perhaps, our food will be more energized by this sun, as the Earthgets bombarded by these cosmic rays. Maybe our bodies will undergosome type of metamorphosis that renders them virtually indestructible. Or,maybe this solar energy will result in a cheaper, cleaner form of fuel andpower. That‟s thinking positive! And, while all of that is wishful thinking,what we do know is this. Our technology has not been battle-tested againstthe sun and our galaxy‟s new and diverse energy output. Our sun,according to scientists, revolves around a central sun. The latest researchconfirms that our sun is affected by this central sun (or galactic center) justas our earth is affected by our sun.



According to space weather researcher, Susan Joy Rennison, it isactually the decrease in our sun‟s solar flares that should give us cause for alarm. While researching, she discovered that our sun‟s solar flaresactually increase the power of the magnetosphere that protects us from

space weather entering our atmosphere. And, just this year, NASAscientists photographed some odd plasma phenomenon emanating from aclose galaxy that stretched more than 50,000 light years into space. So, asour solar system transits through the galaxy, our home planet is carried intow. Again, speculate as we may, as it relates to physicality and materialexistence we don‟t know what will happen in the coming years. Scientistsare clueless. They are just now learning that research suggests that oursolar system is not part of the Milky-way galaxy, but was part of a

neighboring galaxy that is now entering the Milk- way. So, what the *bleep*do we really know?

The metaphysical explanation of what could happen in the comingyears is beyond the scope of this book. It is not within the purview ofmainstream information or common knowledge that there is a spiritualcomponent to life (that we exist simultaneously in other dimensions). Wehave a connection to our Universe that is beyond the scope of thefunctioning of our brains, bodies, and the use of our five senses. However,more readers and their families will benefit from practical, short-termsolutions then from an immediate and total change in lifestyle. So, if the lastfew chapters have worried you, just remember what was shared in chapterone. Life in the third-dimension dictates that we either endure change forthe better or suffer the change that comes with degeneration and death.Either way, this has been man ‟s lot since the beginning of civilization on ourplanet.



Chapter 8: How Long Do You Want To Live?

When asked about how much a person should keep in his survivalkit, Dr. Abdul Alim Muhammad, M.D. once answered “Well, how long doyou want to live”? I wasn‟t the re to hear him say it, but this response ticklesme to this very day. He is right, you know. There are only two ways toinsure that our needs continue to be met. The first is to be capable ofmeeting those needs ourselves. The second is to develop the capacity toadapt to change with relative ease. To do either, we must always bepossessed of a take-charge attitude and an appetite for obtaining and

utilizing the most up-to-date information available to us.Life in our changing world demands that we be possessed of

ingenuity and know-how. Today, though technology threatens to render usall impotent, information on how-to do just about anything is at our finger-tips. Basic survival skills must become a subject of interest for everyoneliving in the Western world. Learning these skills doe sn‟t have to be boringand tedious. We don‟t have to scare people into desiring to grasp theconcepts that may one day save their lives. With television, video games,

and mobile applications, we can quickly be made ready. With socialnetworks like Facebook and Twitter and social media websites likeYouTube and BlogTalkRadio, we are well able to take command andcontrol of our future if that is what we desire.

We are well within our right to choose against enduring the full wrathof mother-nature or to choose against being victimized by the sadisticschemes and machinations of madmen. Perhaps there is something in thehuman psyche that makes some feel worthy and deserving of death just asothers are driven to fight for our survival. Then, there are those who havelittle worry or concern about the changing tide what-so-ever. Well, thischapter is dedicated to that middle group. Some people have adopted theview that they will do well, regardless of what happens. These eternaloptimists do not believe in hoarding food or storing candles and cannedgoods. They will do just fine – whatever cards life deals out. Again, please



refer to the chapter on 5 th dimensional thought and action. Also, get mybook What the Creator Knows and check for the follow-up Chapter Two: Arise the Super-Conscious Being if you want to learn more about thislifestyle.

Please – don‟t try to rationalize that mind- set if you‟re not one whohas adopted it in fact. Now, more than ever before, is the time to beconcerned with you and what you believe will occur for you in the comingmonths and years. Take note of what is in your observable reality and actaccordingly. If you don‟t live in a 3,000 -square foot home that sits on fiveacres of land and is equipped with generators and stocked with 6-monthsof provisions, then you are not capable of maintaining the level of comfortthat might be available to someone who lives that lifestyle. If you don ‟t havefriends in other countries who would gladly offer you a bed if things got hotin your country, this is simply not your lifestyle. If you have never triedfasting for days at a time, have no knowledge of gardening, no clue of whatnatural remedies would be available given a shortage of pharmaceuticals,and have no doctors or dentists whom you call friends, you would not beexpected to be as secure and comfortable in your reality as someone whodoes.

A signal appears to be emerging from the future. Can you see it? Canyou hear it? Can you feel it? It seems to be saying turn off the televisionand venture out into the world again. It seems to be telling us that ourdependence on technology is far too great – that we will need motherEarth; that we will need one another. The movie, Terminator, offered apost-apocalyptic view of a world dependent on machines and artificial-intelligences. Are we so far off from that reality, when we consider that ourgadgets are more precious to us than other human beings? The mostsadistic among us fight wars with these machines never having to fullyengage other human beings. Innocent men, women, and children areviewed as blips on a screen. This is not hypothetical rhetoric. I rememberreading a story about scores of women and children whose blood and fleshwere smattered against the walls of a facility in Iraq, a facility into whichthese people were placed as a refuge. This facility was bombed after bad



Some will dismis s what I‟ve just written as sheer non -sense. That‟sfair. Anything that cannot be sensed is indeed non-sense, until it makessense (or is observed by the senses). They thought Galileo insane when hetried to reintroduce the idea that the Earth orbited the sun. The idea, which

was first introduced to the European world by Copernicus, was rejected bythe Church and was not given due consideration until some years after thedeath of Galileo. All ideas undergo this natural scrutiny and questioningwhen they are beyond the scope of the understanding available at the timethey are presented. Well, we are entering into an Age governed by ideasand near-infinite, observable possibility. All that is required of us is that weopen our minds and our hearts to the many possibilities that await us.



Top 20 Items to Keep In Your Survival kit

Note: The first four items on our list are characteristics that must beadopted and maintained. As simplistic as these characteristics seem, they

are very important. For example, if we were as loving as we claim to be,our murder, divorce, and child abandonment rates would not be as high inthe U.S. How accountable is the nation of Cuba, if no lives (reportedly)were lost in the ten days that nation was battered with rain and winds fromHurricane Wilma in 2005? Contrast that kind of response with the one wesaw in 2005 with Hurricane Katrina in the States. Say what you want abouttheir politics, they take care of their people.

Talk is cheap, but the words we adopt to describe our individual andcollective lifestyles must mean something. Words like “free” and “ just ” havebecome catch-phrases, because most Americans (and the nation as awhole) are slaves to debt. Further, can any nation claim to be just if one ofits states incarcerated two working-age mothers for 16 years for aquestionable $11 robbery? So, what if the citizens of our nation, of theirown free-will, began to characterize our nation like this:

“ America is a place of love, respect and appreciation for life, where its citizens are encouraged to be responsible and accountable for one another, to work diligently in their chosen field of endeavor, and to be solution-oriented toward the continued success and growth of the Republic.”

What if this same phrase could be used to describe our world?

“Earth - a place of love, respect and appreciation for life, where its citizens are encouraged to be responsible and accountable to and for one another,to work diligently in their chosen field of endeavor, and to be solution- oriented toward the continued success and evolution of our home planet.”



So, here they are – the top 20 items to keep in your survival kit:

1. Love, Respect, and Appreciation – Love, respect and appreciationwill go a long way toward helping you to maintain your quality of life.

So important are love, respect, and appreciation that beyond itemnumber three on the list, one could trade any five items for itemnumber one and be better off with item number one. Those familiarwith the chakras know that love opens the way to higher levels ofconsciousness and existence. Love is the opposite of fear. So, love ispriceless. Respect allows for a tolerance and understanding ofothers. A healthy respect and tolerance for others is cultivatednaturally in places like New York City, where there are many culturesand types of people. However, other places in the U.S. and world-wide don‟t do as well. We must respect the fact that we need oneanother or suffer the consequences. Appreciation helps us to putthings in proper perspective. Those who look for the beauty andwonder in our world find it. Conversely, those who focus on ugliness,pain, blame and complaint bring those realities into their existence.

2. Responsibility, Accountability, and Work – I call these the R.A.W.Materials. I am convinced that just about anyone in my country can

attain a sense of well-being when possessed of the R.A.W. materials.Wherever there is poverty, there is a lack of one or a combination ofthe R.A.W. materials. An irresponsible person will find himself in astate of poverty . A person who is not accountable will remain poor.And, the person who refuses to work shuns the primary resourcerequired to build anything substantial in the material world.

3. Solution Orientation – Solution orientation is to be desired morethan faith. More than belief, faith is a strong conviction. Solution

orientation reaches beyond faith, because it is a strong conviction totake action toward achieving one‟s goal. The faithful are often contentwith waiting for things to happen or for circumstances to linethemselves up. The solution-oriented person goes the extra-mile infinding what he or she seeks and lining things up to assure success.



4. Thrift – While “shrewd” and “frugal” both carry the connotation of short- changing one‟s self or someone else, thrift denote s a spiritedsense of economy and financial responsibility. Thrift is active, notaggressive. The thrifty person is cost- conscious, but doesn‟t try to

hoard money. He knows to save some for a rainy day and to invest infuture generations, but is aware that you cannot take any of it withyou. He spends. He tips. He shares. But is sure to keep his share .

5. Water – During the 2003 hurricane season, a storm traveled alongthe coast-line to reach Baltimore. It knocked out the power in myneighborhood for five days. Without power, the hot water heater andfurnace would not function. So, my apartment was a little chilly andwithout food. Unfortunately, the supermarket across street was on thesame grid as my apartment building. I did my best to make due, butby day three I was quite dehydrated. I refused to drink the tap waterand the people in my community brought-up all of the bottled water. Ibegan to realize how much water is in the food, milk, and juice wedrink, even if some of us don‟t drink the recommended four to eightglasses per day.

So, water is absolutely essential. Your skin needs it. Your brain

needs it. And, your body needs it. Without water, you will soon findyou have very little energy to act and react to whatever is demandedof you. I would suggest maintaining a few cases of bottled water inthe home at all times. Further, I would suggest buying a water purifier

– both for the refrigerator and one for use outdoors. You never knowif and when you will be forced to evacuate your home. And, becertain your loved ones are pro-active about their self-sufficiency andsurvival. In the event something happens, you would hate to betrapped at the home of someone who lives day-to-day. If you haveirresponsible friends and family members that like to “go with theflow”, quickly visit them and then head home. But under nocircumstance should you ever get caught in any “dead zone.”

Use empty containers to collect cleaning water. Put a few capfuls ofbleach in the water and clearly mark the containers. Ten to twenty



gallons should be enough for cleaning and bathing. If you get a badfeeling, begin to collect rain-water immediately. Try to use the rain-water for flushing and cleaning purposes first. It never hurts to have „aday of absence ‟where no electricity is used.

6. Light (and heat) - If you live in some area that experiences bittercold winters, make the necessary provisions for this or move. Thatmeans – if you‟re living in an apartment build ing, you may have tomove out. Why? There is no guarantee that your neighbors willrefrain from using candles and open fire to light and heat theirapartments. These apartments are tinder-boxes and can go up inflames if you begin staring at them too hard. It has been shown byactual test that unnatural fibers burn far faster than natural ones. So,where there is cheap carpet, cheap paint, and cheap furniture, there‟sa problem. Learn to program your own mind. If the power ever goesout, tell yourself - “At the first smell of smoke, I will awaken. ” Do thisevery time the power goes out (especially if the batteries in yoursmoke alarm have died).

Also, get some LED, battery-powered lights (preferably a fewlanterns). LED stands for light-emitting diode. The advantages to

having LED lights are three-fold. They are tough to break if dropped.They have a relatively long battery-life and are not hot. However,most advantageous is the fact that these lights will likely survive anymagnetic disturbance that might knock out all other electricalequipment for some time. This is not the only light-source you shouldconsider, but given the circumstance and the possibility you‟re better safe than sorry.

7. A Generator – Whenever there is news of a snow-storm in Baltimore,

natives of this city make a ritual run to the super-market to buy itemsfor the impending hibernation period. Thank God most snow-stormsare not accompanied by wide-spread power outages. All that foodwould go to waste. Given any extended outage, much of the milk,bread, meat, and other refrigerated goods will be no-good at all. So, agenerator is a necessary item in an electricity-driven society such as



ours. Just don‟t keep it in the house or have it venting i n such a wayas to have the exhaust leaking into the house. Also, generators makenoise. And, noise could attract visitors. So, assess the situationbefore cranking that baby up depending upon where you live.

8. Fasting – The ability to fast for days at a time will certainly come inhandy. Not only will fasting prevent disease from setting-in orspreading, it will also create an atmosphere of calm and inner peacewithin the person who can do so. Be sure to cultivate this abilitybefore necessity forces you to have to do it. Fasting is mostly mental,but emotional stress can and will force you to break the fast. After twoor three days, one wins the physical battle. After about 7 days, onewins the mental battle. However, the emotional battle is hard-foughtand often lost if there are people who can unnerve you. It is best toseparate yourself from contentious and argumentative people NOW!!!

9. Books and Games – I could meditate for hours, days, or weeks at atime. In fact, if there were no pressing need to work, I would devotemore time to meditation. Sadly, some people couldn‟t stand being leftalone to their own thoughts for more than five minutes, let alone anhour. The television is an escape from all the mental chatter that

plagues their existence. What will happen when there is no televisionor internet to keep one occupied? Buy a book or two every week orso. Buy a few board-games and some cards. Get pads, pencils, andpens. These are essential items for any survival kit. There is such athing as being „bored to death‟ from the feeling one has nothing for which to live. So, take the necessary precautions now.

10. Know-How – Do you know how to use a compass to chart a course?Do you know how to set a broken bone? Can you capture, skin, and

cook a rabbit, if that‟s all you have available to cook and eat? Canyou evade capture or avoid the detection of others? In a time ofsurvival, the words “I don‟t know” become the words “I don‟t knowhow”. And, those are dangerous words to adopt. I could offer a wholelist of items that would be totally useless to someone without know-how. So, know-how is essential.



Ten More Items to Consider

1. Pre-cut plywood and nails – the plywood is no good if it doesn‟tfit your windows. Also, consider a few 2x4s or 1x4s. No one isgetting through those. They will run-out of energy and run on tothe next house first.

2. A light-weight aluminum bat – If you don‟t believe inmaintaining fire-arms, consider keeping an aluminum bat. Also,lay spike strips as an initial deterrent to trespassers if you don‟thave small children or pets that might get ensnared in them first.

Use a little common sense, but protect yourself. I don ‟trecommend keeping a gun, because many guns that areultimately used to kill eventually kill someone close to the owner,whether intentionally or accidentally. It is not worth the risk.

3. A battery-powered TV/radio - You need to maintain aconnection to the outside world. Chances are – someone will becommunicating something via radio in the event of an emergency,even if all other forms of communications are down. A short-wave

radio is advisable. And, with Radio Shack on the verge going outof business, these are quite affordable.

4. An Emergency Communication System – Don‟t cohabitate withsavages. Be civilized. Promote civilization. And, maintaincommunications and associations with civilized people. Let yourpolicy be “Love thy neighbor” and try your best to have neighborswho have adopted the same policy. Contrary to mediapropaganda against Muslims, it has been my experience that theymaintain very peaceable communities.

Ten civilized adults could outwit one-hundred savages. Part ofwhat will keep neighborhoods safe is the creation of acommunications system, whereby signs and symbols would be



used as a means of conveying messages. Marauding bandits willlikely be ill-able to contend with or counter-act military strategy.

5. Foresight – Now is the time to give up candy, soda, and anything

else that will speed the rotting of the teeth. Now is also the time togive up any illicit or prescription drugs on which one depends. Aperson would easily choose death over a tooth-ache. I ‟ve had atoothache so bad I wanted to end it. So, I know.

6. Fortitude – Survival might require mental and emotional strengththat far surpasses that used in day-today living. You‟ve maderules that will keep you alive, but can you follow them? Beginfollowing the rules you set for yourself now and you certainly will

not break them when your survival depends on them.7. Cigarettes – Even if you don‟t smoke, cigarettes can come in

handy. They can be traded for everything from information to foodto safe passage. If you prefer not to keep cigarettes for thispurpose, you had better stock-up on Little Debbie Oatmeal CreamPies or Snickers bars. Why do they work? Well, being on-alert24/7 can be intense. The calming effect of a cigarette or somesugary treat is comparable to throwing a raw steak at a ravenousdog. They say – beware of Romans bearing gifts. Well, Romansbear gifts because they work. Remember that!

8. Canning – Learning to can your favorite vegetables, fruits, andsoups might be the only means of maintaining natural food on aregular basis in the event of some catastrophic disaster.Otherwise, you‟d better be willing to buy a number of cans of soup. They are pre-cooked, which might be for the best in theevent that your electric range does not work.

9. Condoms – Lord knows – you don‟t want to get your wife (or anyone else) pregnant before you find yourself in a place stableand secure enough to raise children. Further, condoms are water-proof. You might need something that ‟s water-tight, expandable,and easy to carry if you have to go.



10. Skates - That‟s right. Ska tes! As crazy as it may sound, bicyclingis unadvisable in urban areas especially. Skates, however, wouldbe used like this. Take one skate with you on long journeys forcoasting. It should be carried in a back-pack and only worn when

in neutral zones. Then, it can be taken off and stored when youreach “hot zones”. If that one skate is taken o r lost, you have asecond at home.

If this last item makes you think – “This guy is nuts! ” I am glad I savedit for last. My primary reason for adding it is to send a message. You haveto learn how to think outside of the box. There are many things we wouldnever do otherwise. Survival, however, demands that we respond to theneeds of the moment in some interesting and uncanny ways.

So, there you have it. That‟s my list. There are so many out -of-the-box thinkers out there. I‟m certain there will be other top 20 lists to surface,with other interesting and diverse items. Hey! If you can think of any, e-mailme at: [email protected] . I would love to share the best ideas onmy blog. I pray for a future where people can sit around and laugh at thislist. I would rather be in a future like that than to be facing a future whereanyone would have to give any of the items on this list thorough

consideration. Still, it‟s up to each and every one of us to be responsibleand accountable enough to watch what‟s going on in the world and to worktoward securing the best possible future for ourselves and our families. Ipray this book presented a few ideas that will allow you to do just that.

Peace and a blessed and prosperous future to you all.
