Taking the signs seriously, many conscientious humans wish to expedite awareness in others, to push forward debate
and discussion. They hope that their fellow humans will not find themselves in agony over having delayed too long,
perhaps being unprepared or in the wrong place, and grieving because of their prior indecision and vacillation when
they should have been acting. They look upon the Troubled Times group, which seeks solutions to living during the
forthcoming times, and feel that every community should have such individuals, such a cook in every kitchen, such a
conclave in every country so that the morays and differences are taken into consideration. Then fewer humans would
be found agonizing at the last minute. Why can't this approach be taken? What makes such trends occur, and what sets
action in the right direction and makes it occur faster? It is often the opposite of what is expected.
There are several factors at play which influence how people react and when they react. Resistance is one factor.
When a push is made in the direction of more exposure to the facts and discussion, those who do not want to hear this
information push back. The push back can be because it frightens them, or because they are frankly hoping to keep the
facts from everyone else, or because they fear panic in the masses. There are those who think that by keeping others
dumb they can then end up with a bigger piece of the pie for themselves and a smoother go of it in the last days. If
they can keep everyone else believing some false story until the last minute, they expect they will manage to be safe in
their enclave with their stores of goods. They look upon knowledge as power, as a precious thing to better the holder
of such knowledge. There are also those who fear runs on banks or of martial law having to be imposed. They fear not
being able to drive to the next city to go shopping because of riots.
Resistance is a factor that causes information sources that become too assertive of aggressive to be stomped upon. It's
relative. As the information rises like a tide, the fear and resistance rise so that active measures are taken to undercut
the information source. Therefore, becoming more accurate in predictions, more real and believable, may in fact be the
wrong thing to do in that the forces of fear, and there are many of them in the establishment who control media and
financial resources, may turn around and aggressively undercut the message. So to some degree, it is better to balance
being aggressive so as not to incite reactions.

ZetaTalk: Subtle Message
Mail this Pageto a Friend.
Resistance to the message that one needs to prepare for the coming changes also exists in the average person. Take the
example of a family man who has young children, who is tied to mortgage payments and a job. The thought of selling
a home or changing a job incites so much anxiety that it becomes an argument with the self constantly. Should this
family man be convinced by frank discussion that the danger is real, so doubts could be put aside and preparations
expedited, he is likely to find that more and more of his time is spent arguing with himself. Debates over whether he
should or should not make changes in his life. Often these arguments are settled by a sharp put-down. He decides to
simply not think of the issues anymore. He decides he can't continue in a state of indecision, as he can't function.
Perhaps he has been sharp with the children, and they go off crying. The wife asks what the family is coming to. The
resolution is denial.
On the other hand, what if the message is subtle, a subtle message that floats out on the media, perhaps only a
glimmer, an advertisement, something simple so that the back of the mind is allowed to receive this, to process this
without having to be challenged. What if the message likewise tells this family man that he doesn't need to worry
about selling his home or building a fortress in the hills or having an infrastructure established before the cataclysms
happen. What if the message is that he only needs to remember a simple set of steps to be taken, that there need be no
more preparation in order to save lives than to go on a camping trip. Steps such as where to go, what to eat, what to
eat long term, to save seed, to have some recipes - which he feels he can deal with. This is an oversimplification, of
course, but it is something that can be absorbed and understood, so this is in fact what occurs.
Rather than blocking the information, the family man therefore begins to think about this as he drives to work. How
does it differ from a camping trip? What does one do in week two, or week three? This can be entertained because it is
not extreme. And as the weather gets bad and things become extreme in his life, he will find that he puts these
thoughts on like a comfortable set of old clothes and reacts in the right way at the right time, when he no longer has to
argue with himself. Because of the extreme weather changes, the food shortages, the rising tides or whatever, he and
his wife finally say to themselves 'lets not fool ourselves any longer, we've got trouble here'. He will find that he has
become comfortable with the steps that he needs to take, because they have been allowed to coexist with his life. Thus,
sometimes a very muted or understated message, of the simplicity of the steps, is more valuable than
