In Some Cases The Primary Objective In Life Is Survival

What stops you from living an audaciously brilliant life? Fears come from a place deep within us that at one stage in our evolution kept us alive. At the dawn of humankind, fear of change and the unknown kept us from crossing that big river (and potentially drowning), or from leaving the tribe (and being eaten by something fierce), or running about in the dark (and perhaps falling into a ravine).



best survival gearThese statistics are based over an individual's lifetime up to an age of eighty five or ninety five and not on a per year estimate. If you take into account at any given point one woman in every eight women, it does not mean that she will have breast cancer. What it means is that if all women were to live up to an age of 85 years, one woman out of eight would get the disease during her life. Studies have shown that this rate is quickly rising, as thirty years ago it was one woman in every twenty women.

She was foremost a mother and wife. Usually families on the frontier were large compared modern families. The harsh life on the frontier was especially hard on children. Sickness and disease took a heavy toll, sometimes wiping out whole families. Every child that was born was an extra hand to help on the farm, making it easier to survive. If the wife was lucky, there would be a neighbor or older daughter to help her deliver her new baby, most of the time, she was alone, just her husband to assist her.

As a child, Nick did all kinds of things that would have put normal kids in mortal danger. He jumped off the roof onto a trampoline on a dare, hung by his fingertips from second floor windows for fun and one Thanksgiving, when he was eight, he'd even stuck a fork in an electric socket. Nobody knew why he did it, he'd just walked up and jammed the fork in the socket, then held on for dear life. But just as the electricity started up his arm a squirrel crossed two wires on the pole outside the house, shorting the transformer and plunging the whole neighborhood into darkness. To be sure, Nick suffered one hell of a shock, and he'd held on long enough for the design on the handle of the fork to be permanently burned into his right palm, but it certainly could have been worse.

It was necessary for God to first identify Israel today (the so-called lost 10 Tribes) so the Church could deliver His message to them, preserved by the Prophets for our time. We're to warn the sinful Israelite nations that the Holocaust was only a preview of what's to come! Many different groups and organizations (for better and for worse) have helped to restore Israel's identity. But Herbert W. Armstrong was the most influential, through his inspiring book The United States and Britain in Prophecy, as God ordained (Isa. 49:6). How else could we go with the Gospel to the "lost sheep of the House of Israel" unless God directed us? How could we warn about the imminent "Time of Jacob's Trouble" unless God sent us?

If you are really efficient, go one step further and number the boxes according to the priority in which they will be needed. When you get to your new home, ask your husband to set up the television and DVD player straight away, so the children are amused and happy while you deal with the chaos of organizing boxes and setting up a working kitchen. Some companies also provide packaging and boxes for you - make sure you ask when you request your quotation. The vision of having to search through endless boxes for a small item such as a can opener is not very appealing, and if you haven't prepared correctly for the move, is a very real possibility. This means you have to plan ahead and pack ONE box of essentials which is clearly labelled 'best survival gear box'.

It's like a mass delusion, a mass hypnosis and whether it is intentional or not it is working. We are encouraged to tune out reality with all of our modern conveniences. We are programmed and controlled by the economy and our need to buy things with a worth set by those who have all the money and all of the power. Whether this is intentional or not, it is working. We are encouraged to be distant from each other, we are encouraged to only think of ourselves and get what we can at any cost. Whether this is intentional or not, it is working. We have been programmed to be distant from what is important and be self centered with the advent of all our modern gadgetry. Again, whether it is intentional or not it is working.

By the way, if you turn the corner in a dark alley and come face to face with a saber tooth tiger, I suspect it is totally OK to revert back to your roots, feel your fear and RUN! You'll probably feel amazingly alive at that moment!
