There is an old Scouts adage which states, "always be prepared." Can one prepare for an onslaught of the senses filled with untold suffering? When the world begins to burn, cities crumble to dust, and rivers of tears and blood flow to the soundtrack of wailing cries for mercy, how will we--if we are fortunate enough to be spared from such terrestrial torments--face the monumental suffering of others? How will we not fall into despair ourselves (or fear, or anger, or hopelessness)? Is it even possible to bear witness to untold suffering and not go mad with grief? And what happens to us and our privileged vantage point of passive observer? Can we, too, find ourselves drowning in an ocean of tears and blood? Can our anger and indignation at witnessing the depths of malevolence, depravity, and inhumanity the world is capable of sentence us to our own downward spiral into hell? Can our privileged position be pulled out from beneath our feet? Our special status revoked? Can our very compassion for the suffering of others actually bring about our fall? Let us spend some time Sunday at 2pm Eastern to reflect on the events taking place in the Middle East and elsewhere around the world, and SEEK answers to these and other questions related to one of the most challenging and potentially self-defeating circumstances any empath and practitioner of compassion will ever face. Come and share your techniques and gain new insights into how to prepare (and cope) yourself mentally, emotionally, and spiritually for what is to come, which has only just begun. This will also be an opportunity to share openly in an "AA" like setting any vice(s) which you turn to as your "copium" of choice. Yes, even we, Attlas, who have been prepared for the Kali Yuga all our lives, are not immune from the deep emotional impact lingering in the air. Trust us when we say we all need to be better prepared for what looms over the horizon. For NOTHING we have ever witnessed will come close. (AUDIO ONLY VERSION)
