The sea level, rising to 675 feet, will gradually drop due to the following factors.
The core of the Earth, hot from the turmoil of the shift and friction with the crust, will have its excess heat absorbed by the oceans and gradually dissipated. This will take 50 year to dissipate, during which time the oceans will plateau, then cool. The cooling phase will take 250 years longer, to be complete.
The new poles will freeze rainfall or ocean water into ice, pulling up water. This likewise will take hundreds and even thousands of years to reach an equilibrium where iceberg breakage and ice formation stabilize the ice development.
Thus, we estimate 300 years for a reduced level, to be followed by thousands of years of pole formation. During this time, the Earth will move physically into 4th Density, with a smaller sun as not all of the sun will be moved. This will expedite the polar ice formation, such that more land will be found around the equator, more ice over larger areas over the poles. Thus, in your lifetime, plan on the 675 foot level, and worry not about your next incarnation’s experiences.
ZetaTalk: Starvation
written Nov 25, 2003
Envisioning the dire situation in the days leading up to the shift, and following, many good hearted folk wonder what they are supposed to do when there is a single loaf of bread for supper and a thousand mouths to feed. Of course, this is no different than today, for many. Starvation is rampant around the world, in many countries indigenous, so it is only those in affluent environments who wonder such things. Those already starving know how these matters are settled. But the reaction to starvation differs immensely, based on spiritual orientation. Those in the Service-to-Self horde, jerk food from the weak and either sell it for whatever price the desperate market will bear or add it to their stores even if their stores are rotting for want of use. Those who have not decided their spiritual orientation dither between sharing a mouthful now and then with a friend or piteous soul, stuffing what they can hide in their pockets when around bullies, and otherwise wailing about the situation loudly expecting to be rescued. Those strongly in the Service-to-Others work more by plan, having sorted this out well ahead of time in previous lifetimes.
In general, depending upon the culture and situation, segments of human society are selected to simply starve to death. This is done today in many cultures, where the very old and feeble refuse food and a tender good-bye is given during the few days of their rather painless decline into coma and death. They are expected to do this, and as these cultures are often highly Service-to-Other in orientation, such as the American Indian, afford their elderly esteem, and thus this is not seen so much as a punishment for age as an honor. In other cultures, quite without malice, the very young are given this treatment. Babies born and barely conscious are put out in the elements to die, or left without milk or fluids which quickly puts them into coma. No new mouths to feed. Lest this be viewed with horror, the alternative is that this child would be brain damaged if starving in early life, if managing to live at all, an alternative the culture is acutely aware of with examples in the community. Where the starvation has progressed beyond this point, a similar selection process is done into the group, those already ill and not expected to be hale or recover volunteer, or an adult in a family group determines that their portion should go to the growing children or the remaining spouse. Starving or dying of thirst is not painful, and when done with love in consideration of the group, is not done in anguish.
Given the situation where the culture is not highly Service-to-Other, but mixed, how then would a Service-to-Other leader proceed? The choice is for those in empathy for others to starve themselves, leaving the group under the leadership of more ruthless types, or a plan. In this case, not simply volunteers are to be selected to starve to death, as this would ultimately leave only the ruthless. A community meeting, where the matter is discussed, is appropriate. It should be expected that the selfish will loudly insist they be given first opportunity to stuff themselves. The matter should be presented in the light of what human societies have always done in the face of intractable starvation. If hunting and fishing is bringing in food, then the best hunter or fisherman should be spared. If a nursing mother is acting as wet nurse to several toddlers, then her survival affects more than just herself. If someone has a skill or talent needed for group survival, or affecting this, then despite their desire to give their portion to others, they should be pressed to spare themselves. Even selfish groups will see that some approach must be taken, and after argument, consensus will prevail.
All this is assuming that all means of feeding the group has been considered, all food sources included. We have mentioned that weeds and bugs should be included in the diet. In the face of starvation, eating the dead should also be considered. The soul moves on, the body rots, and better it be given in love to those struggling than rot. This is, after all, what a loving member of the group would want, when volunteering to starve for the others. Don’t let me go to waste, would be his or her last words! Or is it better the hunter miss his shot, the wet nurse giving the only protein toddlers with growing brains are getting go dry, and the young become brain damaged as a consequence of their starvation. You decide.
ZetaTalk: Restart Gardens
Note: written during the Nov 2, 2002 Live ZetaTalk IRC Session.
Human survivors should anticipate the shock of season change in accordance with their pre position and anticipated post position. Crops already in the ground may produce in the Aftertime climate if close enough to what they expect, and if pollination has already occurred. However, this should not be counted on, as the number of variables is higher than man allows for. Most crops will sicken and fail to produce, regardless of man's expectations. The guidelines for Aftertime planning should be:
Wait until after the shift to start new gardens.
Plant a test garden, and only when you can grow seed from the plants should you plant for food. If you can't produce seed, the plants too sickly to mature or the insects not viable to pollinate, then you will eventually waste all your seed.
Flocks and herds can be observed, and managed accordingly. Chickens will eat bugs, relish them, and ducks and geese nibble on plants along the waters edge. If this survive, and propagate, then lean in this direction in your plans.
Anticipate gardens and crops outside of what is usual for your area, in a wider range, so that disappointments in plants that fail to thrive in the new climate can be replaced with surprises.
There are variables mankind does not normally consider that will be affecting life after the shift, such that an assumed plant or animal life would falter and simply die off, and others flourish. These variables have been present in the past, in your ancestors, when they migrated to new lands, but are not usually passed down to offspring. An immigrant to a new land would bring seed, perhaps even a pair of prized livestock, and find even with the latitude and seasons similar to the home land, all die. Local fauna and flora, bacteria, rodents, affects the immigrants, though often unseen by the humans with high hopes. Thus, the failure is a disappointment but the reasons for failure not grasped. In like manner, because of factors like acidity of rain, weather shock in insects or even bacteria in the soil, even plants and animals familiar to an area may succumb, and die off. Opportunistic germs today are affecting the biology of the world, such that pre-existing illness is causing animal life to sicken. Germs are migrating, infecting in areas not usual, and the immune systems of the affected lowered by the weather extremes and roiling emanations from the Earth's core.
