- If a person, or family, wants to try to survive the shift and prepares accordingly, I think it will be important for 
them to have some books or magazines or something around soon after the shift. With the losses of life and 
buildings - and just about everything - being so great, the whole experience will be quite traumatic. I really feel 
people should have reminders of what life used to be like. With everything gone so quickly and in such a horrible 
way, some folks may begin to delude themselves that there never was a life like the one they had before. We must 
not forget, as a people, where we come from, after the shift happens. I mean, you can't just throw away your old 
life and begin a new one without ever thinking about what you had. It may all seem like a dream to many, those 
who have difficulty accepting the present reality. I think it would be a good idea to suggest to those who want to 
prepare for the shift to keep some of their favorite books around or maybe a diary, etc., suggesting sticking them in 
ziplock bags or covering them with plastic wrap or something. Just something to get through the worst of it. in the 
time when they are rebuilding and trying to learn how to live, they can find comfort in some things from the past.
