(Question): Are there any specific things we should do to prepare
physically for this decimation? I understand the spiritual and mental
part, but are we to obtain any types of supplies, whether food, water,
medical-whatever? Can you speak on that?
(Response): Certainly. When any disaster, either earthly changes, wind or
storm is predicted, then one is wise to recognize the disruptions that
can occur in the normal distribution process of food, electricity, water
and so many things that you normally take for granted, and yet, when
disrupted can cause some severe results. So the normal processes should
be taken of preparing to have a small food supply and water supply, that
can see you over several weeks of destruction or disruption for the more
likely time periods associated for smaller scale catastrophes to be
ridden over. And basically, on the health issues, just try to have
basic medicine supplies that can last you for a similar period, or a
little longer, if you so desire.
The need for long-term storage is up to the individual, but is not the
most likely thing to prepare against. Does that help?
(Question): It seems to me that perhaps the spiritual pressure that our
world has been getting lately has turned a lot of people's thoughts
towards spiritual matters, and in some cases, coupled with the problems
of the catastrophes-i.e. the tsunami and 9/11, and so on-have made
people cling to the biblical ideas about the apocalypse coming.
(Response): Those who, by their previous religious beliefs are convinced of
this approach will find themselves in the backwaters. Their reaction to
the world affairs and some catastrophes will further convince them that
they are right. But it will not be helpful to them in addressing the
situations in the most positive way, and therefore, their spiritual
progress will be inhibited rather than advanced.
