The year 2012 will be monumental for modern day humanity.  The Mayan calendar signifies that December 21, 2012 will bring a 26,000 year cycle to an end.  Some traditions refer to this end as the Cosmic Year as the Earth has transited through each of the 12 Zodiacs for roughly 2152 years each.  Cycles begin and end on multiple levels.  Some of the smallest cycles of time is seconds, minutes, hours, and days.  Longer cycles are weeks, months, and years.  Each unit of time gives us structure for living and eating optimally.  For example, we know there are times during the 24 hour day cycle we can eat for optimal assimilation and times during a 24 hour cycle where it is optimal for fasting.  Due to the length, coming of an end to a 26,000 year cycle by this time next year will effect change on a universal level where it will have an impact on the humanity at large.  Because of the infrequency of this current cycle, some have pointed that an apocalypse is certain.  That apocalypse can come from an asteroid, a comet, a natural disaster, or it could be one that effects are modern way of life in the way of an economic disaster.

Regardless of what happens and when, we should make as many steps as possible to be prepared.  Gerald Celente, who makes a living forecasting trends in his quarterly journal www.trendsjournal.com, says "Prepare for the worst.  If nothing happens you lose nothing, if the worst happens and you are not prepared you lose everything."  As health seekers what are some of the best ways we can prepare for the worst?  In preparing for the worst we have to identify what could be the worst that can happen; earthquake, tsunami, nuclear bomb, comet explosion, biological attack, etc.  These are the kind of catastrophes that can wipe out entire cities and would leave little hope for surviving if you are at the wrong place at the wrong time.  The best offense to take is to relocate out of densely populated areas, i.e. cities into sparsely populated areas that has natural resources freely available for self-sufficiency, such as running water from a natural spring. 

Despite where we are located there a number of steps to take since we have all become dependent in one way or another.  First and foremost, global uncertainty in the financial markets, preparing for the worst financially will mean owning tangible assets.  Gold is a universal currency that is real, unlike paper fiat federal reserve notes.  Silver is another precious metal that is worth owning.  Owning gold and silver will allow for protection against a financial collapse or depression.  Robert Kiyosaki, famed author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad predicted early in the last decade that owning gold will be in the investment of the future decade (2000 - 2010).  He was right, gold outperformed any other financial instrument of the last decade (i.e. stocks, real estate).  He is now calling for Silver to be the investment of this decade.  If you have savings in the form of cash, a retirement account in the form of cash, then you stand to lose everything overnight as people did with the Great Depressions of yesteryear.  Cash, or Federal Reserve Notes, is the greatest ponzi scheme created and if you have anything significant in terms of cash, while it is still worth something, it will be wise to exchange your paper monopoly money for real money, which is gold, silver, platinum, or palladium.

Owning precious metals will allow us to exchange those investments into vehicles that provide basic needs, such as land, real estate, and goods for living.  We can also begin to stock pile various groups of foods that can carry us through a drought.  In addition to water, we should now begin to stockpile mainly nuts, seeds, and dry seaweeds.   Nuts and seeds are potent nutritious foods high in potassium, protein, and healthy fats.  Seaweeds are a great balancer of nuts, being highly alkaline, providing useful mineral salts such as sodium and iodine.  Dried fruits and trail mixes are not ideal but ok if there are limited options.  Most important of course is water.  In preparing for the worst, if living in the city is the only option then stockpiling at least a weeks worth of water along with nuts, seeds, seaweeds, and dried fruits will allow the basic survival needs to be met in a time of crises. 

Living the raw food lifestyle, where one is practicing regular fasting and exercise, will prepare us for any challenges of endurance and having to do without.  Living in the land of convenience puts most people at the mercy of their carnal desires.  To be put in a situation of lack, most people will lose it and act like animals if they can't have their fast food fix.  Living and sustaining oneself on raw food puts you in tune with foods that are created naturally in one's environment like wild edible foods you will find in the grass and forests, and also any fruit trees.  A raw food lifestyle with regular fasting allows one to be in better control of their animal self and have a much higher vitality and endurance when it is needed when one is not necessarily able to rely on modern conveniences of fast food restaurants and super markets.

I would be remised if I do not mention brother Aton Edwards, founder and director of the International Preparedness Network and author of Preparedness Now.  Mr. Edwards has been promoting emergency preparedness for more than 20 years.  The website is www.readyforanything.org and you will be able to use that a resource for getting the survival tools that can make all the difference in any disaster situation.

As a final note, the worst of times can potentially be the best of times.  I personally look at this upcoming year 2012 with great expectations!  I am not looking forward to any tragic disasters, however, as in our personal lives, struggle, sacrifice, and difficult times produce growth.  For humanity 2012 can be just that time for us to make good on potentially the greatest opportunity in our collective lifetime.  In this article I have briefly touched on areas of interest that deserve greater introspection and due diligence.  Planning and preparation is key and together with unity anything is possible.

Fasting along the time of the Winter Solstice is the greatest gift you can give your body moving forward into 2012. Naturally beginning in December, your appetite should wean as you prepare your body for an extended rest that will prove as useful as anything else you could do in preparation for the New Year 2012. Solstice literally means that the Sun is still, and in likeness, all activities and digestion should be "still" or limited to be in universal alignment with the cosmos. This much needed rest, reflection, and rejuvenation could mean the difference between life and death for this life shifting year ahead.

This program is designed to help you attain a higher level of health. The first day we feast on delectable live cuisine for our orientation. From the next day the routine is fresh live juices for the entire week. There is no better way to heal your body.
