ZetaTalk: Aftertime Living

because they came from the past and carry a long list of credits. Each new admirer is thus bolstered and each potential critic is thus intimidated. Even frankly ugly works are thus floated forward, gaining in price. Possessions such as houses or land

carry value as they are assumed to be permanent, the house standing until deliberately torn down and the land

maintaining its view or agricultural productivity on into the future.

After the coming pole shift surviving humans will be starving, broken, frightened, and will find that the price of a meal is nothing so worthless as a painting or statue from the past. A sharp knife, a sewing needle and thread, some seeds,

these things will become the precious possessions.

ZetaTalk: Barter System

Note: written Dec 15, 2001

We predict that long before the shift, a barter system will be replacing the current paper money system. The value of

the dollar, in all countries, will be falling, such that in any transaction one or both parties will feel they are getting a fair deal only if a thing, not a representation, is given or received. This is a common practice in countries where the dollar is falling, and a natural migration as the thought occurs readily to mankind, the barter system being recent in

their cultural evolution. What will this mean for the common man, and what will it mean for the rich? The common

man will find they are pleased with themselves if they have had the foresight to secure goods of value, such as seeds or tools or dried food. The value of appliances that are dead and not able to run, even of cars unable to run over broken

roads, will be zero. The value of items that can increase worth, such as a needle and thread which can repair clothing otherwise worthless, or a shovel that can create a garden otherwise a weed patch, will balloon.

The rich will of course whine endlessly, and try to convince anyone who will listen that their goods will return in value, which it will not. Moneys will be used as a medium of exchange, as will jewels and art, in some settings, for a

brief period of time. This will occur until those being offered these at bargain prices realize the shift has happened

worldwide, and rescue and a return to civilization as they knew it will not occur. Perhaps months, but more likely weeks, and only in limited settings. We advise the common man, as we have in the past, to relieve themselves of stock

and jewels and paper money that will fall in value, perhaps suddenly and without warning. Better to stock up on things

that will have value, candles and matches, school books and a guitar, than what the rich treasure.

In that one's skill sets can be considered a bartering item, one should examine their own skill set by the following

exam. If you were in the middle of a wilderness, alone, what steps would you take to survive? What is the first skill that you would need, and not have? Whom do you know that you would wish about you, in such as circumstance?

What is that skill that they possess, that you perhaps could develop? Imagine a group in such a setting, having arrived at a land dump where various pieces of junk are about and could provide mechanical devices or shelter, if utilized

creatively and resourcefully. How would you go about creating a comfortable home for yourself, and others, in such as situation? If you are clueless on how to use junk to structure a home, recycle and hook up, then perhaps you should

work with a junk man, in his yard, and take lessons! What we are telling you is that you should mentally put yourself

in this setting, and you will have no difficulty determining what is useless or most worthwhile, in a skill set. If you are an accountant, and cannot translate this skill into becoming a tailor or herdsman or cook, your skill is useless!

ZetaTalk: Safe Havens

Note: written Oct 15, 2001

Where we have mentioned that increasing polarization will occur, between those in the Service-to-Other and Service-

to-Self orientation, this will become noticeable and even publicly announced during 2002. The population of the Earth,

to the extent that it could travel and move about or establish economic interests in a country of choice, has been

polarizing for some decades, such that the Scandinavian countries have become supportive social democracies and the

entire continent of Africa has been enslaved or brutalized for economic reasons. On a local level, communities living

almost within shouting distance of each other have likewise polarized, families choosing to move or maintain

friendships based on their orientation. Thus, within a city, one suburb may be strongly Service-to-Other in their

support of community needs while another is filled with self focused individuals ignoring each other and intent on

personal agendas. So how does a community announce that it is of a certain orientation, if this is to occur?

Sensing that troubled times are soon at hand, many strongly in the Service-to-Self will attempt to line up a soft life for themselves, where they can be in control of others and dictate the daily events. This takes the form of attempts at

leadership, and offering a safe haven to desperate people unable to do anything but grab a life-line. These safe havens, of course, will be anything but that, and are in essence slavery and abuse. Such offers, to the public at large or to

selected groups recently made desperate by disasters in their communities, take the form of offers of assisted

relocation, guaranteed work, loans with easy payment terms, and joining a community of supportive individuals. A

quick determination of the sincerity of such offers can be done by gauging the longevity of the organization. How long

have they been in business? If new, why have they not formed earlier when human suffering is not new?
