Time is too short to waste trying to convince anyone of anything. My purpose on this forum is to share what I know, to learn what I can, and perhaps build a community. That is the purpose of Project Avalon.
There are two sides to the fear you describe; preparing
too much and preparing too little. Cognitive dissonance.
Like a deer caught in the headlights some stand, uncertain about what to do, so they do nothing or something wildly inappropriate. Like the elderly woman
during the Florida wildfires in 1998 hanging clothes out
to dry. The air so heavy with smoke you could not see
from the fire in the woods behind her home.
Perhaps not being a bit afraid is a sign that you don't really understand the situation. The difference between
a brave man and a fool is a brave man feels the fear and
does what needs to be done. A fool rushes in where angels fear to tread.
How prepared is prepared enough? This is an individual decision. If you have four years worth of food in a five year famine, well...
The bible tells us seven years. Ancient babylon had sufficient food for the citizens for twenty years. The United States in the sixties had enough to feed the entire
country for three years. Today the United States has enough grain in storage to make every man woman and child one half a loaf of bread. If the trucks stop running
forget about Uncle, because Uncle has sold your reserves
to the highest bidder overseas.
Do what is comfortable to you. If you are evolved enough to live as a breatharian - good on you! But if you open your mouth and expect the Lord to provide and nothing happens...congratulations, you have just joined the golden horde. In my neck of the woods it is the sweat
of your brow, your planning, and the grace of God that gets you by. Your failure to act will be the death of me and my lifestyle. If my brother is not prepared I am not prepared. We stand together or hang alone
If you have eyes to see and ears to hear you will be asses and elbows getting ready for winter, just like the squirrel and the ant toiling away. If you do not, brother grasshopper, peace be with you on your path. When my charity offerings are exhausted, you will not be welcome at my gate.
I could see that my opinion would be like a skunk at a tea party perusing this thread. I resisted for as long as I could. I have said my piece, now I shall darken your door no more. There are more pressing matters that need tending.

Brilliant point, and i also feel seeing some replies to your post do some think the word "survival" a dirty word? Why if you wish for the continuation of your body, you are seen as unenlightened and less spiritual. if we did not need these bodies to do what needs be then why are we here, if somehow the grounding of our energies in this physical form was necessary then we would be staning in a comfortable place bring armchair quarterbacks. So i assume this is necessary, and if the word survival is offensive then how about LIFE, i will do things for LIFE and to LIVE, and thru these thigns i will continue and be able to assist other in LIFE to LIVE and so on from my brothers and sisters of the light to the world that is now in shadow. Be the lighthouse. And yes i said this to someone yesterday to which they became promptly ****** i said, those who chose to do nothing and were full aware of what was comming will be burdens on those who have. Its true becasuse id never turn anyone away id share whatever i have. But this senario should be for those is the dizzyconfusion of this world the ones we are here to help. Becasue when what they find familiar falls and they wake from that waking sleep, they will turn aroudn in circles in panic and we need to be there, present and calm, with answers with the candle in the window and a open door.
Instead of arguing of technicalities and getting anoyed at thins, becasuie its easy to get that way, this is serious, this is a world changing event this isnt the same day after day we have been used to. how about we balance, maybe some are good at keeping the calm mind ok add that and some how to promote LIFE, awsome two sides of the coin MIND/BODY both needed. I know alot of the stuff flying around now is nausiating, it is, yesterday after my group meditaion i was awsome and then today im shown things that turn my stomache and freeze my heart.
And for those who have kept track of things, facts are FACTS
if you find them are ulgy or NOT. people do mean things
people do awful thigns sometimes, in a unconscious state, when they act in the will of the ego and pain body with thier radiant soul asleep
To make the mistake that all people think as you do, or would act as your do. IS not a good plan... I know that the same spak is in them and i hold faith in the power of RESONANCE to shift them and awaken the divinty in side them and change there hearts. There is also talk of this happeneing in the darkest places and that gives me great joy.
Now the things that are unfolding around us. Its.... unbalancing to put it mildly. And one has to ask is avoidance maybe a byproduct of fear. I will close my eyes and plug my ears, and now i dont see of hear you.
To add on to what Braggywrinke was explaing, i have one more to add
also based in fact the cute story about the Boiling frog
The boiling frog story states that a frog can be boiled alive if the water is heated slowly enough — it is said that if a frog is placed in boiling water, it will jump out, but if it is placed in cold water that is slowly heated, it will never jump out.
The story is generally told in a figurative context, with the upshot being that people should make themselves aware of gradual change lest they suffer a catastrophic loss. Often it is used to illustrate a slippery-slope argument. For example, many civil libertarians argue that even minor increases in government authority, which may seem less noteworthy, make future increases in that authority more likely: what would once have seemed a huge power grab, the argument goes, now becomes seen as just another incremental increase, and thus appears more palatable. In the boiling-frog allegory, the frog represents the citizenry, whilst the gradual heating of the water represents the incremental encroachment of government.
Dont be the frog
And those of us who arent down with the froggyness arent wingnuts
Maybe we are this polarity for a reason to make sure all bases are covered no one person has all the pieces. maybe we each have a valuable piece and no piece is more valuable and all are needed.
About forming communities it cant be imposible right now there are Large groups of happy little hippies have eco farms. But things can be made to different specifications.
Is it maybe that what we would need to do seems
To difficult
To late
To out of reach
No plan
No visable completed one
No people in a group agreeing
The thought of it EWWW dont wanna look or think of it (being in lack)
A endless camping trip (some people dont like this idea) (was speaking to a friend yesterday one thing that puts people off specially girlies like myself is the lack of the moden things we take for granted in other words we wanna "poop with dignity" and we dont think the bears have a good thing going.
But our types do tend to embrace new technologies there are many scientists and im sure we coud figure something out that would not having us living like cavemen
Why do i think about this... becasue i know of the importance of unity, of us to gather. To be that lighthouse. And we have to LIVE to be that, if we all have our hearts intent for the HIGEST GOOD. well we would need to get out butts together i think wiht many heads there are bound to be sweet ideas i have a few if anyone wants to maybe wants to discuss what relaisticly be done then lets all join hands and minds for this. If not feel free to tell me to shutup
But know i love you all so much you are all angels here. There are no limits to what we can acomplish if we are in unity.
