Ep. 102 – Fight the Fear – Thriving The Future

Crisis is a Decision Point. Did you Pass the Test?

On Oct-4-2023 there was a national test of the Emergency Broadcast System on phones and on TV. Shouldn’t be a big deal. But on Twitter and even on some homesteading groups that I follow, they were abuzz with fears that “this is going to activate something” through 5G. Even the people who are not typical of this were caught up in the conversation, even trying to talk some sense into people.

Wars and Rumors of Wars

We are also likely in the beginning of a World War. And this one will not be so clear on the “good guys” and the “bad guys”. It will be 4th Generation Warfare, with multiple factions instead of nation states. (See the War of the Flea”). Those factions will constantly shift, making it even less clear. Add in 5th Generation Warfare, the constant war of propaganda, where those factions, and perhaps your own government (!), could be legitimately accused of conducting information warfare on you.

Crisis is a Decision Point

Most of you are (or should be) adequately prepped and ready for the next ‘crisis’. Yet some of you are not truly prepared for the “next big thing”. Did you learn the lessons from Covid?
Scott – Thriving the Future

We flash back to March 2020 and show the parallels.

Never forget – including the lessons that you learned!

March-2020-2 — Remember March 2020? Are you better prepared – mentally and spiritually?

(also note the cheap price of milk in the March 2020 picture above).

Review Ep. 74 with Cyprian: Crisis is a decision point. The word “Crisis” in Greek really means “decision”:

There are factions that want to force a decision point on transhumanism, climate, etc.

Let’s talk about solutions:

Don’t give into the fear!

What you can do to fight the fear:

#BuildtheArk. Don’t wait for the rain to start falling.
Prepare spiritually and mentally.
Come to acceptance that the world is changing.
Build community.
Learn skills.

And don’t forget Shudra’s tried and true formula:

Plant trees
Cultivate gardens
Tend livestock

Focus on what matters – your Circle of Influence and Control (in other words, your local circles).

Don’t waste emotional energy on people you don’t know and things you can’t do anything about.

Cyprian – What does #BuildtheArk mean?

GrowNutTrees.com

Fall is the best time to plant a tree. The soil is still warm and you will get the most root growth. #GetStuffDone.

Chestnut seeds for planting, chestnut seedlings, elderberry cuttings, comfrey crowns and root cuttings. Adapted to the Midwest.

Seeds and trees have “memory”. They thrived and reproduced in a certain climate.

Often when you buy chestnut trees or seeds online, you have to buy from nurseries in the Northeast or Southeast US, or the Pacific Northwest.

Take it from us, trees grown in those climates do not do well in Kansas.

Buying from our Kansas homestead, with nut trees grown and adapted to the Midwest, will make them much more likely to be successful on your homestead or in your yard.
