ZetaTalk: Aftertime
Note: written prior to July 15, 1995
The Earth will be habitable after the cataclysms, and this is why the human species has continued through previous
cataclysms. Life is rough, and life is short. The infant mortality is horrific. The strong survive, and where there is
communal cooperation among caring people, the odds are not really that bad. Habitability varies, depending on
location. The poles shift, the winds shift, volcanic eruptions continue from activated volcanoes that take some time to
settle down. The rains seem continuous, but plant life does not mind this as much as the mammals trying to get dry.
Diets are not as varied as before, as far as staples go, but in other regards are more varied. Those who survive learn to
eat everything, including bugs. Bugs are numerous, growing in great numbers in the humidity, and living off the tissue
from the dead, which seems to be everywhere.
You must expect the habitability to be equivalent to preparation. Where your government does not inform you of what
is coming, and where the establishment fears panic and disruption more than it fears the consequences of not informing
you - your preparation will suffer. However, in truth, it will be difficult to prepare. So much will change, and the
change is not under human control.
During past cataclysms the human population was also decimated, but as primitive conditions prevailed death from
earthquake damage was slight and almost all the survivors were familiar with farming practices. Housing during past
cataclysms was light, made of straw or wood or cloth as in tents, and this splintered or blew away during earthquakes
rather than landing on and crushing the inhabitants. Unless the humans were unlucky enough to be in the path of a
tidal wave or lava flow or standing on heaving or hot earth - they survived. Following past cataclysms the survivors
had not much less after the cataclysms than before, as they had been living a bare survival existence as is. Life became
harder, of course, as one could plant but would find no harvest and domesticated animals soon died from lack of feed.
Fewer and fewer fish were in the streams, fruit and nut trees failed to bear, and produce normally harvested from the
wild suffered in like manner. The survivors found themselves faced with having to be resourceful, eating whatever
could be found - bark, bugs, moss, leaves, and on occasion each other.
The coming pole shift will differ from past cataclysms in several respects, however, all of which will bode ill for the
present human populace.
The population is urban, rather than rural. The Industrial Revolution, which has touched almost every country,
has paved the way for a virtual flip-flop in the proportion of people dedicated to agriculture. In past eras almost
100% of the populace were farming, but in industrialized countries mechanized farming allows almost 100% of
the population to be freed from this task. These survivors will have almost no concept of how to live off the
land.
Because non-farming occupations are almost invariably physically idle, the population is soft. Even
housekeeping, once exhausting, is slothful due to modern labor-saving devices. These survivors, out of shape,
will find their soft bodies an unneeded burden during the Aftertime.
High rise buildings or even modern housing will be death traps during the cataclysms, trapping inhabitants if not
crushing them. Where housing in the past was primarily single story shacks with straw or light weight roofs,
today such a domicile would never be considered. Housing must be solid, and crowded cities built up, stacking
people on top of one another in buildings that will invariably tumble during the massive earthquakes that
accompany a cataclysm.
Coastal areas are crowded, being considered prime living space and the populace having been freed from the
necessity of farming. Cities of millions will go under gigantic tidal waves, and none will be found living when

the waters recede.
Man has created poisons and weapons that will be turned against him during and following the cataclysms.
Chemical tanks will explode, spewing their contents, and an armed populace will find weapons used to wrench
precious food from those without weapons.
Cannibalism will occur where food is so scarce that none is to be found anywhere, and the young will be taken
first. Parents who defend their young will be killed and eaten also. Where in the past the urge to eat one another
pitted the strong against the strong in battles that seldom were anything but a standstill, weapons such as hand
guns are a great equalizer. The one with the gun wins. Gunfights will also break out, and with no law
enforcement, with murderous results.
Consequently, we predict that 90% of the population will die as a direct or indirect result of the cataclysms, with the
remainder polarizing due to the increasing polarization of the spiritual orientations. This Aftertime will be different,
spiritually as well as physically.

ZetaTalk: What will Survive
Note: written prior to July 15, 1995
One should not assume a grim picture of life after the cataclysms. No more birds singing, no more pizza. This is not a
true picture. Birds survive, and sing by nature, and we suspect that as cookbooks and ingredients will also survive,
there will be pizza. Where there will be a chronic dusk, due to volcanic dust, for at least two decades, life will go on.
Not all streams and lakes will be poisonous, but the cautious should plan ahead, and anticipate these occurrences. Safe
food and shelter can be arranged, and this does not require great wealth or strength. This requires common sense.
As to your technology, this will survive if you Prepare. Anything that will run by electricity will still run, if not
shattered by the earthquakes. Plan accordingly. Your current energy sources, oil and gas, should not be looked to as
they will alight and burn off during the cataclysms. Would be survivors are advised not to store these energy sources
near themselves or their loved ones. Batteries run down, but mankind should be finding alternative energy sources
more and more available.

ZetaTalk: Great Equalizer
Note: written on Nov 15, 1995
Tumultuous times like the coming cataclysms are great equalizers. Where in stable times the strong and/or clever take
from the weak and/or befuddled and nice guys seem to finish last, during turmoil the playing field is flattened. The
wealthy and influential, in spite of having forewarning about the coming pole shift and the means to arrange for their
safety and comfort, will be no better off than the rest of humanity. Human nature tends to blunt the full reality of what
will occur and what life will be like afterwards. The short term is considered, with the depressing long term scenario
avoided. Thus food and water are stocked and batteries aplenty, but the wealthy do not consider what to do after these
/>
supplies run out. They have all their life relied upon the services of others, and comfort themselves with some vague
notion that civilization and its administrators will right itself shortly afterwards and they will be able to return to
shopping. What in fact occurs in these situations is a false sense of security preventing a more appropriate preparation
or response.
The impoverished individual may find himself without goods or services, but as this is his status quo under normal
circumstances will mobilize himself more effectively during the Aftertime. He will grieve less and ponder his options
more, and take risks where the wealthy sit on the remnants of their toys until death overtakes them. In like manner,
those who are physically or mentally handicapped may have an advantage over those who are whole in the Aftertime.
They have already adjusted to being diminished and looked down upon. The palsied individual will find himself
comforting those who have newly lost an eye or a hand, and the chronically mentally ill may find themselves
counseling those who have gone mad from the turmoil and sense of loss. Survival is to a great extent based on the
ability to adapt, and in this way those on the bottom today have an advantage over those on the top. The coming pole
shift will be a great equalizer.

ZetaTalk: Manna from Heaven
Note: written on Aug 15, 1996.
It is generally assumed that hydrocarbons such as petrochemicals are formed under extreme heat and pressure,
conditions that mankind assumes can only take place under the surface of the earth where biological elements might be
sandwiched between layers of the Earth's surface. They also form in the air during every passage of the 12th Planet, as
all the components are in the atmosphere - carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. During a pole shift, violent volcanic
explosions take place, super-heating the air passing overhead. Combined with continuous lightning flashes in some
places, many chemicals form readily which under ordinary circumstances do not form in the atmosphere. Some of
these chemicals are what humans term petrochemicals, but their close cousins, carbohydrates, form also.
It is written in many parts of the world that after a pole shift, what the Jews called manna was found lying on the
ground in the morning dew. Beads of carbohydrates that tasted like honey, and where landing on water turned the
water milky, so that those lands where this occurred were sometimes known as the lands of milk and honey.
Not all locations find this handy food delivered for breakfast, and not all such food can be gathered and eaten by the
eager humans, as there is competition from the bugs and rodents in the area who seem to need less sleep than the
weary and malnourished humans scrambling about in the gloom upon rising. Manna is formed and dropped in those
parts of the world where the air has just passed over active volcanoes. It is formed to some degree during normal
times, but becomes pronounced after a pole shift due to the exponential increase in volcanic activity. Other parts of the
world find no such gift beading the ground in the dawn, and residents of those parts that are fortunate in this regard
must rise early and scramble if they are to collect any manna at all. Not only is it eaten by anything that can crawl, it
also melts and seeps into the ground during the heat of the day.

ZetaTalk: Government Collapse
Note: written prior to July 15, 1995
Consider what constitutes the government of the United States, which we will use as an example, as it is indeed the
strongest government, and the first and foremost democracy. This government, by and for the people, is founded by
elections. Elections even in the best of times are difficult to pull off. Turnout is frequently low. Counts must be
checked and rechecked for accuracy, and computers and the ready hands of volunteers assist in this process. And then
there is the pre-election publication of candidates and their views, debates and other such enlightening affairs.
How would all this take place in a world having undergone a cataclysm such as we describe? The existence of
electricity will be spotty. Communications will in the main return to what it was in the previous century, by letter or
carrier. The concept of legislature even at the county level would be difficult to maintain, much less at the state or
federal level. Add into this the fact that the geography will change. Some lands will disappear, others rise from the
seas. The poles will align in different parts of the world. What is north? What is south? Maps previously drawn up will
be useless. How can the polls be sure who is to vote when the survivors will wander, in search more of others living
than anything else.
We are not describing a world where the established government is likely to continue as it was. We are describing a
world where new forms of governing will emerge. The type will depend on the nature of the group of people. As we
have detailed, there will be an increasing separation of Service-to-Other from Service-to-Self. Those groups oriented
to Service-to-Other will not require the same controls that are required today. Rather than the problem of citizens
stealing from each other, held in check only by the enforcement of law, these new communities will share.
Consideration will be the rule, rather than the rule of law. For those groups oriented increasingly to Service-to-Self, no
laws or corps of police would hold the self-serving actions in check. There, the rule of law is supplanted by the rule of
the strong.
How will the governments take being so supplanted? Will they attempt to collect taxes, order cooperation, or demand
allegiance? Some lone individuals will attempt to do so, perhaps in small bands, but where there is no food, and the
citizenry is essentially homeless, these attempts will turn about on the so-called representatives of the people. Where is
the government assistance? What does the government anticipate doing for its citizenry? Why, when the government
was assuring the populace that they should not be alarmed by the approaching comet, should the populace now give
any heed to the so called government? Any attempt to continue federal or state level government will in all likelihood
be short lived. On the local level, there may be some continuance, according to the competence of the local
government. Leadership will have to be earned.

ZetaTalk: Survivors
Note: written prior to July 15, 1995
The cataclysms will come quickly, and the great majority of deaths will be so instantaneous that there will be no time
for anxiety. Concern should be for the survivors, who will be injured, in shock, hungry, and looking in desperation for
their loved ones. We would suggest that those who wish to commit suicide be allowed to do so. Most certainly those in
pain and torment, without hope of recovery or hope of receiving medical treatment when such treatment is scarce or
nonexisten
t, should be allowed this avenue. We would suggest birth control, without argument, as the infant mortality
rate will take out almost all born during the first few after years. Take pity on the mothers, who will share scarce food
with a fetus only to see it born dead or struggle unsuccessfully for life.
The grief that will result from the cataclysms will be no greater for any given human than the grief their normal life
would sustain. Grief is something that comes to every life many times during a lifetime. Humans anticipate grieving
over the loss of loved ones, who may die suddenly by accident or unexpected illness or linger for a long, sad good-by.
Humans anticipate torrents of nature - volcanoes, tornadoes, floods, lighting, hailstorms, and earthquakes. These come
sometimes without warning, but many times are anticipated. Humans anticipate societal problems, the loss of jobs or
status, family and friends deserting one, banking failures. All this can suddenly place a human into grief, but in most
cases the pending problems have been announcing themselves regularly. Any survivor of the cataclysms could have
experienced a life situation where home, job, family and friends, and health disappeared. This can and does happen
today to many, and not just due to acts of nature.
What will be different is that the anticipated assistance from wealthy countries or one's own government will not be
available. For most of the world, this won't come as a shock, as it is rather a shock when they do receive assistance.
For wealthy industrialized countries, this lack of assistance will be a shock. Some individuals will have to learn to rely
more on themselves and to work communally with others. These are lessons that life teaches in any case, however, and
are not exclusive to the cataclysms. The cataclysms offer an opportunity, as does life in general, to be of service.
These are times of great opportunity, to be greatly of service. These are times when one can grow, and discover
strength within oneself previously unknown.
