The Insurance Hoax
by David Deitz & Darrell Preston – Bloomberg.com (Sep 2007)

“Who indeed will survive as a remnant to repopulate the planet? Will it be those who have misused the planet or those who would heal the inhabitants and the planet with loving intent? Since all that exists, as manifested reality, is vibrational, those that exist in a vibratory rate that is harmonious with the planet will find themselves in safe places. Those safe places will exist where these individuals are. There are no “safe places” as designated on the planet despite any and all predictions. There will be safe places in the midst of any and all disaster experiences. It is the consciousness of the individuals themselves that will create those places.”
From “Becoming” – Bridger House Publishers, Inc.
