I felt very strongly moved to "get out of the city!" back in '05-'06, and now live way out in the middle of nowhere, near Mt. Shasta. I had also read that Mt. Shasta would be a "city of light" in the New Age, but I am not so sure anymore if that wasn't some sort of disinfo. It is unclear to me anyway. But here I am, and at least I am out in the peace and quiet of nature rather than in some apartment highrise surrounded by a million people.
Sometimes, when I hear of people feeling guided to move away from the cities and become self-sufficient, I feel a twinge of worry that maybe I somehow missed the boat. Yikes! Was I supposed to have done that too? I did feel a strong interest in learning about edible weeds and stuff like that, but, looking back, I think I had a lot of fear at the time. Now, I'm just too busy! I can't seem to even think about moving out of the city...and not sure I'd even want to. I guess, for me, I still have too much work to do where I'm at.
At least I HOPE I'm hearing my own guidance correctly, and not missing the boat! Ah well. I did come here for a reason, right? I'm just going to trust that I'm doing what I'm supposed to. But I have immense respect for those who are moving out and getting self-sufficient...it does sound really cool! There's a part of me that would love living in a community with like-minded people. But then, we can't ALL do that, because then who would smile at the cashier?

Particularly if you read old back-issues of Cosmic Awareness, you will see many times throughout the years that everything was ABOUT TO hit the fan, but then cooled off. There is a big industry out there selling survivalism gear, and if you were to take their word for it back in say '98 because of the "upcoming Y2K disasters", what sort of position would you be in now? You would have been way over-prepared about a decade too soon!
That's reassuring on the one hand, and not so much on the other. It could mean it's all just fear-mongering and none of it will happen, or that it just keeps getting postponed. I prefer to think the latter. After all, we already know that we have succeeded in averting global-scale disasters that were thought to occur in the late 80s and beyond...we've done pretty well, so far, compared to the bleak pictures painted by Nostradamus and various channelers etc. (Not to mention the conspiracy theorists!)

I have been reading about such concepts since the early '00s, and people have been writing about it for decades. So, I mean, from all appearances, things SEEM to be going pretty much according to plan, don't they? And the next step of the plan is apparently total enslavement and massive depopulation, with possibly a false alien invasion or appearance of some false messiah thrown in to spice things up.
I don't subscribe to that, for the simple reason that structure and harmoniously working together are not STS traits! Remember, STS is characterized by dog-eat-dog betrayal, constant vying for control, division, and chaos! I just don't think they have it all wrapped up, as they'd like us to believe. I think most of this is just fear-mongering. STS entities eat fear for breakfast! They're more interested in promoting fear - THAT is how they control! They are more interested in controlling people's minds and emotions than their physical bodies. And they are already doing that, with all this panic about a police state etc.

I've already written about how I did lots of energy work for many years, and affirmations of overcoming these issues, but not really feeling as though I felt things change. Now I find myself wondering if all that I've read about is simply going to come to pass after all, and that only AFTER it has come to its logical conclusion can the light then begin to reassert balance and unity, etc. I dunno! I wish I felt like I had more of a say in the situation now, but I really don't know what any of us can do. My personal priority for the past few years has been trying to network and connect with people, so that as a group we could support each other, but I haven't had much luck meeting anyone except online. I don't know any of my neighbors further than two houses away from me, and even in a town with a population of 1000, the "bad men with guns" will have all the power if our electricity is turned off and all the stores close. Yikes! I prefer not to focus on such possibilities. But it still begs the question, what does one do about this situation?
I know the feeling. I thought I had it all figured out but it didn't happen that way. Largely due to the more recent Q'uo channeled sessions, I now feel that the most important thing is to shine the light as best we can, wherever we are. Whenever I think about separating from others, faces pop into my mind...my neighbor across the street who's 80 but looks 65, a sweet little old lady, just beautiful soul! And how she has no one to talk to, so I chat with her sometimes...or my friend down the street, a sweet, Christian mom of 5, who confides in me about her marriage problems...or my best friend who lives near a military bases and works at a grocery store and would never have the means to move out of her environment, but who dazzles the grocery shoppers with her emotional intensity, her keen mind, and her radiance! And then I think about my husband's students, who adore his classes and are learning so much...and how much my husband has grown by being out there in the public, dealing with people on a daily basis, when he wasn't much of a 'people-person' when we met 26 years ago.
And then I feel ok about being where I'm at, right here, in a big city.

People need to aspire to self-sufficiency as much as possible, but also need to unify and organize. This seems to be much more likely in small towns with low populations. Ideally I would not even be in America. I've heard Ecuador, if I recall correctly, was really peaceful and pleasant and safe.
I know a lot of New Age -type folks are moving to Ecuador, Costa Rica, etc. I'd say that if that is where you feel drawn, then maybe that's the right place for you. Maybe those living in those places will have special roles to play at some point. At the same time, I don't think it's necessarily the highest priority for all of us to find the safe zones. The highest priority is polarizing, by doing what we can to be of service to others, as they polarize, in preparation for the Harvest.

What a novel idea!!! FEMA camps for benevolent purposes! I LOVE IT!!!
Actually, I had thought of something similar, in regards to the NWO. WHAT IF, just WHAT IF, the NWO is a structure that could be used for both good and bad...If used negatively, then the doom-and-gloom scenario of everyone being controlled would manifest. BUT, if used for positive, then...what would it be but a loose framework for...you guessed it...our new SMC!!!
Think about it. As in Star Trek...they were beyond countries, but had planetary alliances. Why not? Why does the NWO have to necessarily be bad?
Granted, an evil power elite could take it over and that wouldn't be cool. But who's to say the STS guys are winning? Wait a minute! Didn't Q'uo say the STS guys had FAILED in their attempted coup? Yup, they sure did! (Check out the thread in the Sessions sub-forum.)
So, what exactly are we getting all worked up about again?

will. That implies finality...absoluteness. But we know from the Law of One that there are many possibilities/probabilities. Widespread disasters are a possible scenario, yes, but I wouldn't say that's definitely going to happen!

How could the trees stop moving if there's wind? What would that mean? I hadn't heard that before.

I'm not sure I follow your connection here. How could getting everyone scared about an upcoming pandemic, and coercing them into taking toxic drugs in the guise of immunization, somehow prepare them for some natural disaster?
Speaking of the swine flu, I don't go for the idea that it's related to some sort of population control, for the simple reason that some of those seeking to control might find themselves DE-populated!! They know their vaccines don't work, so I just don't believe they'd unleash some truly dangerous virus out there that could threaten themselves and their own families. These people still have families too! Nah, I think it's just greed...drug companies just want to sell their drugs. The darkest motive I could see in that would be to keep people sick and dependent on the medical system. But I just don't see it as a global threat.
