Newly aware of the coming cataclysm, need advice

Subject: Newly aware of the coming cataclysm, need advice

Hello all. I suppose a bit of an introduction is in order first. My name is Michael, I'm 18 years old and I live in Staten Island, NY(NYC). I've recently read "Blindsided" by Mark Hazlewood and afterwards I did a good amount of continued research on some of Zechariah Sitchin's work as well as looking further into the validity of Planet X's existance and the doom it brings. I have to say, all of the information given is very convincing. I've been to ZetaTalk and the Troubled Times web site, reading up on all the advice given, but nothing has answered my most important question...

I told my mother and sister about Planet X, the Summerians and the facts that pretty much prove everything said. I even had my mother read Blindsided(most of it anyway) and either she just refuses to believe it, or she's so set in her ways and beliefs that it's impossible for her to change them. I don't understand how anyone can ignore all of the proof presented in Mr. Hazlewood and Mr. Sitchin's work. Even so, she has said that if it is true, she would rather die and go to heaven(yes, very Christian family) than live on a post-apocalyptic world. Now, while I can understand and respect where she's coming from, I also know that it is NOT what I want. I don't want to just give up and wait to die, I want to go on living. Now, I am not very happy about the possibility of having to leave most of, if not all of my family behind, but if I can't do anything to convince them(and I am going to try, believe me) then I suppose I will have to concern myself with just my own survival.

My questions are:

Can any of you offer advice as to what to say or do to convince my friends and family about this coming doom? My sister seems to be borderline, it's as if she herself is convinced, but doesn't what to say so because my mother isn't.

If I can't manage to convince anyone and it comes to the point that I have to forget about them and worry about myself...what can I do? I am only 18, I work part time...I can barely afford a girlfriend, let alone setting up a place to survive after the shift.

Any advice you may have for me is greatly appreciated and I thank you for your time. If you'd like to get in touch with me through other means, my ICQ# is 52095876 and my AIM SN is Ashior.

Thanks in advance,

Michael

Hi Michael,

Glad to have you. I have been through that trying to convince friends
relatives and family about something I know is real or just believe is real
important. And I found that most of the time you just run into brick walls.
So my suggestion is since money is the main problem for you right now, that
you should focus on that the most, get enough money together to be able to
take care of yourself first and then to be able to help some or all of your
family and friends.

Make all the prearations you can make for yourself ( that will show them you
are serious). then set up things for as many of them as you can. later on
when the signs become totally obvious and they finally see and believe, they
will only have to decide to go with you or not.

So prep first, convince later.

You did your job by informing them. the decision always remains theirs.

V,

Thanks for the welcome and the advice. My only question is, how can I possibly raise enough money? Like I said, I'm 18, work part time and am in college. If I drop out of college, all hell will break loose in my family. Even if I did so, I just don't see how I could make enough money in enough time to properly procure and establish a place of save haven for me and my family. From what I've read, setting up such a community is very draining on the bank account of rather wealthy people. By the time the signs are so apparent that they can't deny it, it would be too late for them to help in the preparation, hell, it's probably almost too late right now...

This is very discouraging.

Yupp I know exatly how you feel. I am working on the money problem myself.
I know one thing for sure, it will never happen working at a job.
Might be wise to break the hell loose now, cause if you wait too long, it
could stop you from making it.

I never went to college, and most of what I learned in highschool I didnt
use. In my opinion what you learn in college could be learned on your own
with a couple books and hands on experience in the real world in much less
time, so the only thing that you really get out of college is a diploma or
degree that gets you a good job. You could just print those out with your
computer and skip the college part. And if the planet X comes then there
will be no diploma based jobs anyhow.

But that is all just my opinion of course and dont do it because I said so.
But you have to take a serious look at the reason you are going to college.
If it is only to keep peace with the family, then it seems like that is not
a good reason. If you are going because you really want to then its ok. Then
figure out what you are going to get out of going to college, that you cant
get by your own efforts.

Once you get that problem solved you can think about making money to
survive.

Michael,

First you got to consider yourself very lucky you know.
After that, like V says, a few words to the people you
care about is all that need be. If they're interested
they'll come to you with questions in time. I'd keep
studying the pieces of the puzzle with enthusiasm. With
the time you have, become as much of an expect as
possible. Be careful when speaking to others to watch
when you've found their limit for the information at any
one time, for some that can be just a few words. Lay off
them for a while, between the times you mention it to
them.

I believe there will come a time when the pre-signs for
these events will become so clear, if you can offer an
explanation for them, almost everyone will listen that
heard you mention it prior. Your friends and family may
not be able to sell houses and things because they acted
to late, but should have enough information to know where
they must go and what they must do to have a fair chance
at survival.

V's idea of showing, instead of telling, many times
speaks louder than blah-blah-blah in some cases.

So basically what you're telling me is that either I miraculously land a high paying job(that would have to be a miracle, considering i'm 18 and don't have a college diploma) and begin preparations myself or ...I die. I'm not too sure you understand exactly what I'm saying here. I barely make more than minimum wage, even if I did go full time...what difference is it going to make? I wouldn't be able to afford to build a home, let alone a home designed to survive a catastrophy. Believe me, I don't want to have a pessimistic outlook on this, I'd like to think of myself as blessed for being made aware of it in advance, but I'm finding it rather hard to be very optimistic about my situation now. Like I said, I do NOT want to die, I'll do whatever I can to survive, but it doesn't look like I can do much for myself, let alone my entire family.

So, out of all the people who are spending thousands, maybe even millions of dollars to builds these survival communities...none will take in anyone who is outside of their "circle"? That sounds rather harsh to me.

On the contrary I think there are many that will take people in, tere is a
list of communities that are already in operation in all parts of the
country that you can contact. I will send you the url if you like.

What I am saying is dont depend on anybody giving you a job. Go out and make
money by yourself, you will get paid a lot more and you dont have to answer
to anybody. And only you determine your rate of pay.

Let me ask you a question. How much mechanical knowledge do you have
concernig cars? I have a friend tat can set you up with a business that you
can make several hundred dollors a day with. All you need are a few basic
tools and run an ad in the local papers and thrifty nickels. It can easily
make you 400 to 600 hundred a day if you apply yourself.

Thanks for the advice, Mark. I just wish they would open their eyes to the obvious. The fact that I am so convinced should be something. They know me, I am a HUGE skeptic about things like this, it takes a lot to convince me and I was completely convinced about half way through your book.
