Self-Sufficiency

Nov. 23, 1999
We ask that the ones of you who are aware of the Earth changes be ever-mindful and compassionate in your dealings with those who are not. There need be no hesitation, no cause for fear. These are natural results from the misuse of natural resources to the abuse of its peoples. Indeed it is inevitable. The outcome is, however, still very much in the hands of those with whom the challenge of change rests. That is, you -- collectively.

If you think that you have no voice and can affect no change, you are mistaken. Not all change happens in the political arena. Much of the changes required for survival into the fifth dimension, are based in the spiritual realm and not in the physical realm at all. We have warned against the burning of fossil fuel, against the rape of natural resources, against the mining of the earth and the polluting of water, land and air. Yet, the biggest changes required are in the heart and THIS IS WHERE YOUR POWER LIES...

We ask that those of you with land at your disposal begin to consider growing healing herbs, vegetables enough for at least four-five families and fruit trees. There should be built underground storage for food, whether in your house basement or in a separate underground structure created just for this purpose.

In the cities, also create areas for food storage as such and join with other families so that this is more affordable as well as practical and supportive as communities will have to develop in order to survive. We also suggest emergency medical supplies be stored....for basic ailments and emergencies that could occur in others. These need not be only for your family, but for others who may come to you for aid. Aid will not only be spiritual, but physical often.

Yes, while there are many disturbed about current events and governments gone mad with power, it becomes increasingly obvious that the only way out is IN. One can move from one country to the next, but truly, it is only a matter of time until the entire civilization becomes destroyed. In some places, it is happening quicker and sooner. In other places, the great hand of 'progress' moves slower. However, move it shall. This is therefore, our advice to those of you who are disheartened by the seeming loss of power. Do the following step by step.

Buy land or an existing small farm, if you are a single household looking to live apart from community. Develop that land using ecological methods of farming such as Homa Farming, as the vehicle and community are doing in Poland. Try and purchase land that borders either a national park or protected area, or borders another organic farm. Otherwise, attempt to buy up as much land as possible that borders yours directly. This is a beginning. Seek to share your awareness of ecological farming with those nearby. Try and educate those near you about the dangers of GMO. This is all part of step one.

Develop your inner self at the same time. Work on harmonizing yourself with nature and with those around you. Try and pinpoint the weaknesses in your character without much analysis, with the aim of self-development. Do not punish yourself for any errors of judgment you may have made in the past. Do not spend one moment feeling negative about yourself. Seek instead to transform areas of weakness or vulnerability into areas of inner strength, harmony, and wisdom. If it helps you to read about great beings whom you admire, do so. If it helps you to align yourself with others who have or seem to have qualities which you find pleasing and inspiring, do so. If it helps to write, write. If it helps to sing, sing. Dance, dance. Work on becoming the very person you imagine yourself to be on the highest level.

Then, once you have mastered this sense of self and are in harmony with those around you, seek to find ways to serve your community, your country, your friends, family, those in need, etc. In other words, move into the next realm which is SERVICE. This is giving back to others what you have been given. Do this without expectation, without condition.

Know that there is never a point where you 'know everything'. Therefore, never place yourself above another human being. Those who come to you for teaching, for healing, for understanding, and for guidance, are offering you an opportunity to fulfill your higher calling. Therefore, be grateful for them and serve them with humility and with joy.

There will be increasing levels of pollution in U.S. now, due to lax controls. There will be a reduction in the freedoms many Americans are accustomed to. However, when you remove yourself from the system, the system can no longer exert control over your life. Refuse to be victimized by political maneuverings. Move to 'higher ground!' That is only possible by going within. There is no other way. The more you muse over your losses, the greater will be your pain.

Become strong within and reach out to others to form communities based on common principles and dreams. Create your own oases. It is the only way now. Continue to protest against ecological destruction. Continue to write articles and teach alternative ways of growing food, creating alternative energy sources, and alternative medical practices. Do not give up. But strengthen your inner selves. This is vital now. And remember, there is great strength in numbers. Awaken.

Seek to live in more elevated areas away from seacoasts, nearer to forests whenever possible. Immediately plant fruit trees, nut-bearing trees and evergreens such as cedar whenever applicable. Rely only upon own water source and not shared water rights or public water source. Grow root vegetables which store easily and grow easily. Prepare greenhouses and begin planting herbs for healing as well as for eating. Herbs for healing will be like gold in future when medications will be difficult to find. Learn the art of clothes-making and of simple carpentry and building. Have at least two cows for each farm. Create communities of like-minded beings with varying skills. Assess the community skills force. See what is lacking and seek to add members who possess the skills most needed for self-sufficient community living.

Assess food storage capabilities and create possible solutions. Begin by storing grains enough for six months and emergency medical and sanitary supplies for six months. Storage of tubular and root vegetables, second priority. Begin with grains. After six months, you can consume stored items once they can be replaced.

No fear necessary. Simple, begin to put into place for all contingencies.

For future, we highly recommend mass storing of drinking water in addition to food storage. Begin with simple grains. Take it step by step. Prepare a place conducive to food storage that is free from sunlight and excess moisture. You will want to store vegetables and dry beans. You will want to store fresh and canned items as well as grains. Learn about food storage for future times, but learn by experimentation and actual practice.

Now is the time to stockpile seeds for healing herbs and all medicinal herbs. It will become increasingly more difficult to obtain herbs from traditional health food stores, as regulatory bans on some herbs will no doubt pass in legislature. One way is to fight the all-pervading law -- and best not to keep silent on the matter. However, protests are not enough.

GROW MEDICINAL HERBS. Store the seeds and trade them amongst other organic gardeners. GROW YOUR OWN. This will confound the medicinal establishment whose stalwart organizations stand poised to do battle on the subject. There will not be legislation which interferes with your civil liberties. What you do in the confines of your own home and property will not be touched. When you take the law into your own hands and plant, nourish and harvest your own medicinal and culinary herbs, you are TAKING THE POWER BACK. Protest, yes, but prepare yourselves and your own communities with nourishment and healing for the future. AND THE FUTURE IS NOW.
