As
Europe faces the inevitable collapse of the Euro, the entire world system,
including the United States, also has to prepare for the crises. Many turn a blind eye, shrugging the news off
as another Y2K scare, but is it really? It is not just predicted, but
anticipated, that by 2014 the United States economy which has already been in
dire straits will take an even deeper economic nose dive that could cause civil
unrest and chaos around the world.
2012 – The End of the World?
Apocalyptic fright has been around before Orson Well’s “War
of the Worlds” hoax, which has made some in our society skeptical, while others
paranoid in the preparation for the end. Most conspiracy theorists will tell you
that they don’t believe that 2012 is the end of the world, but many in the
spiritual community will confirm that 2012 is the end of the world as we know
it, and this could be directly contributed to the collapse of world currency,
which could create a domino effect into the end of international trade and a
shortage in food.
Items for Preparation
So
how do we prepare for a crisis without our relatives and friends wondering if you’ve
watched “Hunger Games” too many times? There is a difference in being prepared
and striking fear in your friends, family and community. Each household and

considered when putting together your crises stock.

a first aid course.

Then
What?
Many
of the above items listed you can find your government preparation websites,
but there are several things that they fail to mention. Although they may tell
you to stay calm, you should also remain positive throughout the crises. Just
as the Law of Attraction states that we receive what we put out, it is
important to remain as positive as possible throughout the ordeal. The final
important thing is to make friends. By creating an alliance of friends, you can
create a village of sorts and share in crops, supplies, barter and assist one
another in chores.
We
can only hope that the preparations are for naught, but if the predictions ring
true, in some way all of your work will be beneficial in one way or
another.
How are you preparing? Or are you? Do you think this is hogwash? I would love to hear!
