The grief that will result from the cataclysms will be no greater for any given human than the grief their normal life would sustain. Grief is something that comes to every life many times during a lifetime. Humans anticipate grieving over the loss of loved ones, who may die suddenly by accident or unexpected illness or linger for a long, sad good-by. Humans anticipate torrents of nature - volcanoes, tornadoes, floods, lighting, hailstorms, and earthquakes. These come sometimes without warning, but many times are anticipated. Humans anticipate societal problems, the loss of jobs or status, family and friends deserting one, banking failures. All this can suddenly place a human into grief, but in most cases the pending problems have been announcing themselves regularly. Any survivor of the cataclysms could have experienced a life situation where home, job, family and friends, and health disappeared. This can and does happen today to many, and not just due to acts of nature.
What will be different is that the anticipated assistance from wealthy countries or one's own government will not be available. For most of the world, this won't come as a shock, as it is rather a shock when they do receive assistance. For wealthy industrialized countries, this lack of assistance will be a shock. Some individuals will have to learn to rely more on themselves and to work communally with others. These are lessons that life teaches in any case, however, and are not exclusive to the cataclysms. The cataclysms offer an opportunity, as does life in general, to be of service. These are times of great opportunity, to be greatly of service. These are times when one can grow, and discover strength within oneself previously unknown.
ZetaTalk: Preexisting Health
Note: added during the Mar 15, 2003 Live ZetaTalk IRC Session.
The shift will present many with preexisting health problems with challenges. At the same time, many will find their health improved, and be surprised by this. most diseases have a psychological basis, a connection, as has often been born out by studies. Cancer, one of the prime killers, has such a strong psychological basis that it can literally be cured by the affected person simply deciding they want to live rather than die. Miraculous reversals, on the verge of death from cancer, are associated with the affected person making decisions to rid themselves of some burden, express their feelings, or make dramatic changes in their live. Doctors repeatedly state they are astonished that some humans they literally pronounce dead, survive, by the will to live alone. Others, expected to make a quick recovery, wilt and die. The immune system is hugely affected by the humans outlook, with depression bringing this down to the extent that the slightest illness can get a grip and take the person out! This is one reason for the increasing illness we have predicted at the start of ZetaTalk to be a symptom of the approaching pole shift, which is now so evident that people are astonished at the extent this is affecting cruise ships and the like.
There are, of course, many illnesses that take a toll on the body, damage the body, and no matter how hale the person might be later, how optimistic and enthused, the body simply is not able. Many examples are quick to anyone's mind:
Those with kidney diseases needing dialysis;
Those with Type 1 Diabetes needing insulin replacement;
Those with such severe emphysema that they cannot live without oxygen direct to the lungs;
Those with a continuing need for blood thinners, or blood pressure reducers, as the stress of the shift and a lack of medication will create an instant emergency for these individuals.
What we have stated is that life should be viewed as life was 100 years ago, in industrialized countries, or as it is today in 3rd World countries. Many people are alive today, who would have died quickly in those times. Often death is viewed as a horror to be avoided, fought, but when it is clearly inevitable, or the person in pain, is welcomed. Do those at the bedside of a very aged person, perhaps 100 years old, unable to move about and scarcely able to understand where they are, have regrets? They say their good-byes, hold hands and weep a bit, treat the last days when family may gather as a type of family reunion, and nothing much more is made of this as it is expected that the end will occur. 100 years ago, in pre-industrial or pre-modern times, when surgery was rare, transplants unheard of, vaccinations not yet invented, and such items as insulin and bottled oxygen not available, many situations resulted in the same mind set. A child with appendicitis died, and the anxious parents were in fact relieved when pain no longer wracked the child. A broken limb resulting in infection and sepsis created a crisis and everyone knew the outcome, and all said their good-byes without hesitation.
ZetaTalk: Small Groups
Note: added during the Nov 30, 2002 Live ZetaTalk IRC Session.
We have recommended from the start that survivor groups start with one's friends and family, known entities. Even should you not particularly like your relatives, and they despise your friends, at least you have known entities about you. We have advised against meeting on the internet, answering adds, posting one's qualification in a database, or similar trust-all schemes. Those with skills are unlikely to need to post them and seek entry into another group, as almost everyone who knows them will be uttering invitations! Thus, those who advertise are likely the type of person to need support, in massive doses, both physical and emotional. We have also advised, as has Nancy within Troubled Times, to keep a low profile, not advertise your site or your presence. After the shift, those who have not lined up a relatively safe location, stocked away a few weeks food supply or a tent or cot, will adapt. Even those who have prepared must find themselves at that level, as the unprepared, soon enough. One cannot live as an island, well prepared and ignoring the neighbors, as the presence of a well stocked and electrified group soon becomes known. Would you turn your guns on your neighbors starving children?
We have predicted that government snoop methods, such as tracking small purchases or the whereabouts of those claiming to be contactees, will fail. They will be overwhelmed with tasks more immediate and pressing, going into the shift. We have recommended that supplies be stocked away from the home of the purchase, and no one talk of the survival site location. If in spite of all these efforts, a group finds someone in their midst that is passing this information onto an establishment arm, what to do?
