Big ask i know ... but how many of us would do it??
I'm a Mum of two young boys so the question is easy for me - that old maternal instinct is running true and strong still !! lol
BUT isnt all this talk of buying silver and gold and ready cash STILL keeping one foot in the very door you are trying to close???
Dont get me wrong - i want to survive - but at what cost???
So i can be the next pinnacle on the heap of human struggle because i own more silver/gold than the bloke at the bottom of the heap?
Prepare yes - but try to see it as a way to be richer than the guy next door and i'm sure you will find it harder to get thru that door than the camel thru the eye of a needle!!!
Just my inuition!!

Everything is in this question. It explains everything. But the question is a personal one, it cannot be a group question. This means that when asking what price is one ready to pay, it includes the loss of his belonging to the race.
It is a reassuring concept to hope that all could together be pulled from their misery. The hope that there is something better over the hill. And, of course, if all are in the same basket, it is either all who 'ascend' or all who fail. This would have for consequence that the price a single person pays would afford mass passage to what he earned. I certainly do not believe this.
The sense of belonging to the race, to a group, to a country, a flag, a planet, a religion, to whatever, only stems from the psychological condition that must be left behind. The psychological condition by which the individual lacks a real identity, an identity that is perfectly secure in and by itself. This is why people are not free, since their freedom is dependent on the group to which they are tied. So, the concession is to adopt thoughts that are socially acceptable. The ego is incredibly insecure but he still can have inner strength. And this strength is realized only where there are no choices. If the ego is presented with choices, he will always avoid, he will always try to postpone what Must be done and do what he feels like doing. He calls that free-will, when in reality he is obligated to act this way because of his fear of change, because deep within he is afraid of himself, of what he could do, or say, and their consequences. So, he seeks consolation in thinking that everybody is in the same basket and that if there is a change, everybody changes.
So, I totally agree, your post there is the only real question, but taken at the next level, meaning is the individual ready to give it all up to become. It is no particular person's task to save humanity, humanity has the responsibility of itself and cannot hand that responsibility over, regardless of what it spiritually wishes. This is the karmic law, and that law binds consciousness to that of humanity, using humanity's unconscious patterns to allow progression of the group at the expense of the individual.
