It takes some effort to get beyond past prejudices, and to begin the latter half of ones life with a totally new paradigm, but slowly over the past few years this is precisely what I have been doing. Thankfully, I am alone, have no friends as such, and most of life is easy, relaxed, not always stress free, but seeing the state of rest of the world I have no complaints at all .
Thus one is able to see the world from this broader perspective and in quite an objective manner. I have no religious beliefs as the whole edifice of religion Roman Catholicism and Christianity in general are a poor substitute for the true teachings of the man they so foolishly worship as god. he was not s not god , an advanced spirit who came to teach certainly, But, as for the churches, what utter stupidity, like blind men walking along a dark lane, all happy that everyone else is just as able as they are to see the way ahead, whilst no one realising none of them can see at all.
This foolishness of religion thankfully I no longer have. But I recognise we are all spirits and are from realms of consciousness Far Far Far removed from this one, and we are here to learn a lesson or two. and many never succeed in getting past the kindergarten. Most in fact are still like babes. I admit I have had some nasty nasty and extremely painful lessons to learn and still have traits in my nature that need weeding out. Always there is much work to do here. For all of us. Evolution is a painful and stressful process here on this planet.
But where is all this leading to?
Looking at the broader geopolitical map, and how events are unfolding, one is either left with the watered down view of the world as presented by the mainstream media, or using the internet one may delve deeper and deeper and slowly something entirely different will begin to emerge, as we get behind the events and see the real story unfolding. Of what is really going on in the world
The title of this blog, suggests something catastrophic is slowly coming to pass and many reading it will walk away and think I am another of the nutcases who are so bored with life or have some personality dysfunction they need some conspiracy theory to plug the gap in their dysfunctional mind. Well, we are left with the choice, do we see what all the fuss is about , planet X, imminent CME's, and delve ever deeper into this subject of which to make a bold assertion, is the arrival of Phaeton as Ovid called it, coming once more into our solar system. And thne shall we consider all the subsequent catastrophes this will entail? Or do we ignore all the evidence and simply get on with living what life we have?
Well, either one is one of the 'nutcases' out there and there are many I am sure, many with immature minds, and people with personality disorders and inadequacies, but then there are some who have had the courage not to dismiss this whole idea, and very often they have piggy backed from off the UFO subject onto this subject of imminent catastrophism and planet X. So, the two are intimately intertwined. I will explain later how and why this is and why it must be so. It is a long long story, even telling what small amount I personally know. But it is fascinating all the same.
So, being influenced by Marshall Masters who I respect, I will start this part of the blog, not with the theory, not the history, nor the science behind it, but with the outright supposition that something nasty is lurking round the corner, and what is more the Powers That Be, are fully cognisant of this and have been for at least half a century. I will save the theory and facts as I know them for later.

survival in a society driven to madness and despair.
So, we are sitting here alone, writing, in the year 2010, and slowly we see events are unfolding. We sit at our computer, and write about those things we see in our imagination, things that are part imagination and part based on fact. A future we are all slowly moving towards, as the world slips into chaos and what was a once a wild set of hypothesis, and conspsiracies, are slowly becoming daily reality
As we wake up each day, we read the news as reported on Jeff Rense, SOTT.com, or Alex Jones, or Bill Deagle, then we see there are more and more earthquakes that seem to be ever more violent, and widespread each day. Every hour the USGs website shows areas of red, as each hour slips by. We get worried, and that worry was once mere curiosity at world events, but not now--and then we think back to the many hours we have spent, going over lists, of supplies, in case any of our fears turn to reality and the warnings by NASA are not mere agenda setting, but are actually what they also fear- no-- what they are certain will come to pass in two years time.
So, I am making the assumption something rather nasty is about to happen, in one, two or a few years from now and will leave much of the evidence for later. Such as I have available. For now let us allow the asumptions are correct......something is coming.
here is a parable........
Now there are three kinds of people on this earth, and one day these three were walking along a path in a large field, having just walked from the coast where the sea was rising and all the land was being submerged. The three were two middle aged men and a young woman and they had fled the coast and rising seas , having walked far and were and very tired, and in need of sleep. To walk back was to face drowning by the rapidly rising waters. As they walked, a herd of very nasty looking cattle appeared, with horns as long as the the stare they gave.
The cattle now began to pick up speed, there were forty of them and some with young, and the bulls were starting to snort . The three people stopped, and looking back, all they saw was the sea now almost covering the land they had walked over. So, they discussed what to do.
One man said, they will look around and see what could be used against the cattle, but however hard they looked the field was flat. Only long grass and no trees, no stones. He decided they should turn round as being gored by the cattle was not a pleasant way to die. He wanted to return and face the water, see what land there was left. The second man was more determined and refused to give in so easily, he pitted his mind against the problem and still refused to give up but saw no solution. So, he too agreed they should turn back and face the rising water.
The decision was almost made but the young woman, who was small and not very strong, refused to go back unlike the men who were much older. She was convinced there was a solution to the now fast approaching herd whose bowed heads and large horns were ferocious weapons. Then as the men became more desperate, she asked one of them for his belt. He said she was being foolish, but she took the belt , and to the two mens dismay, proceeded to walk towards the cattle who now seemed intent on destruction.
Although small in size, she began waving the belt, its buckle flailing outward around her and all her fear suddenly seemed to have vanished. The cattle stopped, then as the first one was caught fully on the face, by the buckle, then another was hit, the whole herd began to move backwards. She was now some distance from the two men, who began to feel like the weak fools they were,
So, the moral of this is never give in to depression or to desolation in light of some impending disaster, even if ones life is at risk it may only be on the surface we see, and simply because we can't look beyond the confines of our problem. we should learn instead to stand still and be placid, in face of the worst crisis even,
For it is often the strong in stature who will take the first step backwards from a situation in fear or panic. Whilst the meek and childlike will thrive . And those who have few attachments also will not be too worried at an apparently hopeless situation. Often it is only the shallow surface we see. And the solution may simply be staring at us in plain view as the woman saw.

what you need to do when the roof caves in and the rains arrive.
We are in the year 2012, August maybe, and all the signs are bad. NASA is giving out multiple warnings, scarcely veiled by now. The wars are still raging, the economy has all but collapsed, people are in a mental depression every bit as deep as the economic depression. Many are near the point of open rebellion, many are simply living each day as though death itself was lurking outside the home. Simply getting by each day is enough for most people.
It is not enough to watch for the signs of the times and to see how they unfold. The secret is to know when and how to react, how to judge when a nexus has been reached and when it is time to move.
By this, I mean to take seriously the storing of food and water, the gathering of all the supplies we shall need for the next few months.
As things get worse, we need to plan our movements daily, where we are going to live, in the months ahead, either in our own home or move elsewhere maybe deep in the country. We may move in with relations or ones children if they are grown up. Or we may simply be an earth pilgrim, and take to the road, and make each day a new adventure. Many will do this and if the worst does come about, I am planning on doing this, though my journey will be cut short on this earth once my medication runs out. Even so the principle applies. Make each day a new adventure and if this brings you closer to leaving the earth so be it. One day you may return when times are better. Or maybe not.M
So, from now on you should watch the signs. The US geological survey website showing earthquakes is most helpful as are the sites, showing the magnetosphere and the one showing the earths volcanoes, the Smithsonian. These will indicate when the maximum perturbations are occurring and will be a good marker for things to come. Also NASA for all its faults, and if in the States listen for what FEMA says I will also give various links later on.
Forget conspiracy theories, for now. Simply learn to interpret and read between the lines as much as you can see when information is saying one thing but is implying something else. If they warn about meteor showers, watch out for they may hit you on the head. If they say ultraviolet levels are high, this may be a huge understatement. And if they say the sun is a bit active get ready to stay indoors until darkness comes. Many may perish if Phaeton does appear in the southern skies, perish by radiation burns, and if the worst does come about, well the ancients spoke of the air being so hot it burnt the skin. The Hopi spoke about staying in caves as everything outside was burning hot and the watercourses were boiling.

Your very very best friend
Well, who us this very best friend you have ever had? who is this person who will be at your side even as hunger begins to bite and the thought of that last cup of tea drives you mad? And when the shops are closed and many are being looted, when the teller machines are not functioning, and the darkness comes and the cold returns, who is that one person who will stand resolutely at your side and give you more comfort in thus new world , more comfort than even your own spouse, or children?
It is strange to ask this question for each time you look in a mirror to have a shave or a wash, that person is looking at you, maybe with eyes washed by a certain sadness now things are changing. A certain wistful look on your face is also reflected in theirs. Quite simply this best friend is your self. No one else. In short you are the best and closest friend you will have or can ever have. Only now as the world is collapsing and anarchy rushes past your door in the early hours, and the dark of night, when wails and shouts and mad assertations are heard, this friend will be there watching over you, and in the comfort of this friendship you will be able to face the terrors of the world.
Does it begin to make sense at last? Will you finally put away all the anger, the jealousies, the petty squabbles with your neighbour, will you at last begin to find that inner peace and most important that great strength inside us, when we have to face the times ahead.
If indeed things get bad in the next few years, the only resources we have are inner ones. This is why I am so deprecating about all religion especially the Christian religion that places so called redemption in the hands of some god who does not exists. The only person who redeems you is you, no one else, no one will reach down from some heaven to help, though spiritual help is often given but there is nothing supernatural about this as all is a matter of laws operating each according to their own nature.
And do not forget it is we who are able to reach upwards, so we may meet our spiritual self, half way so to speak. When this is known then we are better able to survive what the world may throw at us. And when the gangs are rampaging and the cries of children are hard to bear, and the sound of anger and hunger go hand in hand, then we are still able to reach behind our own fears into that oasis of peace where this true friend that we have always had, is to be found . If we look hard enough beneath our own pain.

the basics of survival-- the real nitty gritty
Now for the real nitty gritty, . You have thought about this for the past few years, you were a sceptic at first as all tend to be. Then you did some reading, and it became an interesting subject more in the manner of reading a heroic novel. A bit of fact thrown in, but you suspected a lot of fiction. Then you heard more and more about this incoming comet, this brown dwarf, until you wondered if there was more than a smattering of truth about it. So, you began to take it more and more seriously and began to see why the authorities had indeed built so many deep bunkers, and seed banks and why for that matter so many civil contingency exercises were being practised.
So, a picture, rough at first, began to emerge. And when you saw some very serious people such as Bill Deagle, Project Camelot, and Marshal Masters, and many others plus the many remote viewers, , it began to add up.
Somehow you could no longer dismiss anything about planet X, Phaeton, Hercolobus, you had read about. It was then you began surreptitiously making plans, not letting others know, not the family, definitely not the neighbours, or friends. But keeping all this close to your chest. For many years even.
Then suddenly things began ot rock an roll, and really waltzed about the dance floor. So, after the more than veiled warnings started to come from NASA, and even FEMA became involved, with announcements and warnings, then you began to prepare for survival. This is when that empty back room really started to fill up. This is where that extra cash started to come in. Gone were the holidays for now, suddenly it was a process of stocking up-- at least if there was nothing in this planet X thing you can still use all the supplies you have bought. And no one will be there to laugh at your stupidity and credulousness even when the Solar Storm comes and the power goes off, at first intermittently but when power cuts become a way of life and when the grid is finally completely and thoroughly trashed, then you wonder why you laughed at yourself when you bought all those candles. And you look out of the window at the houses accross the street and see the blackness and wonder, wonder how the neighbours will survive this lot when it really starts it hit.
So, after the water butts and candels and the jerry cans, i suggest climbing boots. and warm hiking socks with silver in them if you can get them. Silver is a wonderful germicidel and I also suggest you learn to make your own silver solution which is just as good as any you can buy. I will give links later. Buy some Berkey water filters, maybe two. And get a small gas barbecue and some propane gas tanks, maybe six or even more. Now you are half way there Later I will talk about food and what to stock.
Next you need to take care of personal cleanliness. This is vital in the new world as it is formed. Toilette rolls will be the new gold, now, in fact I might say platinum , when the shops fail to open and are subsequently looted. So, get enough for each person for twelve months and double it if you want to. I will say the same for soap, get a large box of lemon or orange soap. And hide it!!
Now you have water butts, maybe six, so, you have clean water. Get some detergnt and disinfectamt, double up. Soap powder even clothes pegs, simple things like this-- go through your cupboards, and see what you have then plan for twelve months -cleaning cloths, towels, fill a drawer with them
Now the public relations problems begin in earnest. Here you are in a house maybe like me, all alone, and happy to spend many many hours in the dark, I have done so and I recommend it ti al of you.
And with a back room and kitchen cupboards filled to flowing with enough supplies for eight to twelve months. It is now the thoughts start, as you sit alone at peace with yourself -until the sounds begin, at first across the road, or maybe a distance away. And then more sounds in the distance, people running, shouting, maybe a window is crashed, and maybe a car, one of few, is heard, but only one. Then the silence again.
It is hard, in fact it is totally impossible to be at peace and to know the desperation of those around you Maybe you hear another earthquake and maybe the sounds of groans and moans from the earth itself as the magma and mantle stretch and heave underneath you. And the rain , maybe it rains like never before, maybe you have had two or four days of rain, and the darkness has never quite left . Being at peace is easy for a while but no person with compassion in their heart can be aware of the sufferings going on around them yet be content with their own good fortune. It is impossible.

some considertaion of self protection
We may or we may not have visions of an Amish life style, maybe the routine of the office or factory, or the meetings with fellow directors, seem good things to get away from . However we must see not what we are escaping from but what we are losing and what we are escaping to. look around and imagine all of life's little luxuries taken away, and once that delicious bread, I am thinking of a shop on my island here, once that bread has gone you may be on a diet of baked beans and pulses. and Green tea with sugar. for a long long time.
But think also of the police no longer there. Now see the world breaking down into gangs, some who are ravaging for food, some who are ravaging simply for control. Or both. Do you want to be in the vicinity of the gang with the largest armoury?
I live in Britain and the thought of every man and woman being trained in the use of firearms sends a chill up my spine. It seems ridiculous, against all common sense in a society where sane rational people live and mix with each other. As though we are all paranoid.
However recent thinking shows that society is not very rational and as the United States seems to be going towards the path of anarchy, once social conditions get only marginally worse than they are now, one has to think what a post apocalyptic society will be like.
I assume you have fled any urban environment, and are living in relative seclusion. Either alone or with a small group. Sadly you have food and yet, many millions are starving. Not only that even the wildlife is hungry as the food chain is broken and it may take years for it to recover.
So, if I lived in the States under these conditions my own course of actions would be the following. Get these weapons, learn how to use them how not to shoot people, or yourself, and then when you are trained put them away and forget about them and pray they will never be brought out.
So, what would I have for protection?
I always go over the top in most things so, get a pump action shot gun. Or two. And my own view is opposed to John Moore here, not thirty rounds of ammunition, but one hundred rounds of ammunition--per weapon. Or more!!
Then I would have one or even two assault rifles. And maybe a smaller calibre weapon, 2.2 say, again maybe two of them.
As for handguns, I would go for pistols, large calibre, and maybe have three of them. I am no expert here, and have no desire to be, but others may teach you what is best.
as for the pistols, place them strategically around the house or property, so only you know where they are. And carry one always on your person
Now all you need do is keep an eye open for gangs, police who think they still have authority, army people who also think they have authority. In post apocalyptic days, there will be no law enforcement as know it, only by mutual consent it and should always be this way.
You are the boss, you and your group, so you should plan for this. Get away from towns however small, get at least a hundred miles from cities, and keep silent. Don't advertise your presence. It will take years to sort itself out, maybe even a century. Much that is bad may happen in that time , you don't want to be a part of it.

It will take years to sort itself out, maybe even a century. Much that is bad may happen in that time , you don't want to be a part of it.
something about food
so, let us return to the awareness that life is going to get a little rough and all the past as it was known must be forgotten about as new realities begin to bite. 'Bite' is a good word. Now as the earthchanges start, you must start stocking your back room with food and all the supplies that are required for a stay of twelve months or so. Anything longer than 12 months, is not practicable or desirable and besides you will never know how long you will be in your present abode assuming you stay where you are in your own home.
Assuming you begin to stock up, you must go for such items as Indian Dhals, which are highly nutritious, and also buy many jars of curry sauce as dhal on its own is quite unpleasant. Condiments such as salt are vital as are various vinegars, also useful is honey Get plenty of raw sugar, not refined. Sea salt is Far Far better than rock salt. Save the rock salt for de-icing the paths and roads.
Next pasta and rice, large bags. Also Indian ghee which may be bought in tins this will last a long time.Use it rather than butter which won't last.
I will suggest green tea, which can be easily drunk without milk. There will be no milk once the grid goes down. Forget about meat, it is not entirely moral to kill an animal and eat it. but circumstances must dictate this to be neccessary.
Get Some large large tubs of cooking oil, and olive oil also , and garlic, jars of garlic which will last. Then I would suggest flax seed, and some means of crushing it - a hand grinder. It is very nutritious, as is hemp seed. Also red green and black lentils are a super super food also, get huge bags of them. Pulses are very good will keep well. Also oatmeal, is hugely recommended, raisins and dried fruit are useful and if you have to leave the house and go for the long walk, take oatmeal with you and some raisins, also some flax seed. They will keep hunger at bay for a few days.
I have mentioned basics such as toilet rolls, and soap. Get these and disinfectant, also detergent and cleaning stuff for the kitchen. hygiene is absolute in the post apocalyptic days, people will die simply by drinking unclean water. There will be plenty of that especially near towns where dead bodies have floated for a few days. Wherever worry and the loss of all that we are familiar with takes place we easily slip into depression, depression is the handmaid of all illness. so hygiene is the safeguard here. Not against depression but disease. Depression must be cured by other means. If you are in the country, get as close to nature as you can even if a tornado or hurricane has just passed by.
Such things as matches, scissors, and a very comprehensive first aid kit even if you cannot use all of it, someone else may be able to. Have some dental products so if a filling falls out you can at least patch up the tooth. One very very useful thing is tincture of iodine. this will heal wounds but also can be used to sterilize water.
Get one or even two Berkey filters, with doulton elements that are impregnated with silver. and get some spare elements. this alone will save your life.And make your own colloidal silver, have spare batteries for at least twlve months
Now I strongly suggest having a rucksack packed and ready to go. Have oatmeal, raisins, dried fruit, and such that can be eaten easily Cooking is not an option when you are walking, on the road.
Now I suggest filling the car with stuff, a small primus stove, two gas bottles matches and food and clothing. now every time you go out in the car if it is still running take the big rucksack with you, you may never return. And take a water filter!!!!
So all these things and many more and there will be plenty of things forgotten about as the manure hits the fan and all hell breaks loose.
If you are in the city, don't stay there for not even a small village is safe once hunger and anger become friendly with each other, and those nice poeple and the nice children across the road, become the neighbours from hell. This is the time when you really find out who is a friend . And it may be there are very few, or even none who are friends. Only your own self and all the prepartion of the last few years. Mental more than physical.
So, most of this is common sense. And it requires just a little thought a clear mind and I would have three to five thousand dollars or pounds available tucked away just in case. And when money becomes a relic of the past you can always burn it on the fire. And keep yourself warm even .

have six cylinders of propane gas and a small barbecue at least to boil water. and use it sparingly .
I suggest six water butts one at least connected to the roof via a gutter. If you are on a sceptic rank you are extremely fortnate. As to how the people in the towns and cities will go on I dare not imagine it defies ones efforts to answer this question. I refer to not only the electric going down but hurricanes, earthquakes,and certainly tsunamis. The later will take down a communities drainage systems overnight.Now I strongly suggest having a rucksack packed and ready to go.
