Before anything else, we should dispel one rather large myth: That’s the idea that you never need to make provision for anything you might need for any period of time, more than a few days or perhaps for the week ahead.

We have been conditioned to take it for granted that everything we need or want will always be available to us either online, or at a ‘local’ shop (For as long that is, that they continue to exist).

There is a reason for this. It means that without even thinking about it, we have become dependent on commercial, profit-making supply chains for everything that we need or want. Simply because we have become very comfortable with the way that everything seems to always be there, and increasingly with the speed and low level of our own engagement and effort that is required for any of it to arrive.

We have been led to believe, through messaging, and our experience so far, that this is a good way to live. And that with tech gurus falling over themselves to find easier and easier ways for us to get everything and then pay for it too, the lives we are living can and will only get better too.

The problem is, that this isn’t reality. It’s a myth that only works because the original lies that started it and formed one way of doing things have been covered by many other lies and other ways of doing things that were all about benefits being funnelled to the few.  Sooner or later, the lies and a dishonest system was always going to meet up with the truth.

That point in time is here now.

There’s a lot of irony in this statement, given the situation that we are now in.

Some people – like those needing food banks right now – are already experiencing the truth of this reality and the way the system actually works against us, rather than for us, right now.

Those of us who care about others may not be able to help those who need help right now, today.

But we can change and learn to do so. And by helping others through The Great Reset, we will end up helping ourselves.

This is what ‘Levelling Level’ is fundamentally about.

Not everyone can see, will want to see or will even consider the reality that things are going to change in the way that they are.

However, if any of this is beginning to make sense or strike a chord with you in any way, this is the right time – yes, RIGHT NOW, to begin thinking about what you can do to prepare, produce and make provision for what are likely to be the very turbulent times that lie ahead.

Some of you will be asking what kind of timescale we are on, before the things that we are experiencing are really bad.

The truth is that its not really possible to say, as the problems that will touch us all, will arrive at different times and in different ways that mean we will experience much of the process differently.

As I wrote previously, The Great Reset will not happen overnight. That isn’t to say that some of it – perhaps something acute like a power or water shortage – won’t affect us all exactly the same and at the same time.

People are already going hungry because of the cost-of-living crisis. But because there aren’t enough people going hungry, the politicians don’t believe that people are really going hungry.

So instead, politicians are setting out to belittle those who are hungry and exclude them from ‘the accepted community’ in some way. It’s as if reaching out for help when the system created the problems we face, is a socially unacceptable disease – just because they say so.

How would you feel if you reached out to the people who are supposed to be there to help you at a time of need and they went on TV and laughed at you whilst saying you’ll have to perform a trick to show that you actually need help?

I for one, hope that neither you nor anyone else has to find that out.

There are a lot of very big political, business and financial interests who believe that they have a massive amount to lose if the system that’s already in free-fall around us, does reach the point of a completely non-functioning crash.

This is why politicians, the media and all of the big interests that are behind them are doing so much to avoid changing the narrative, saying anything or even doing anything that suggests that a systemic collapse is now under way.

To speak of it would be to admit to it or acknowledge that the collapse – which makes The Great Reset necessary – is underway.

By doing so, they would ultimately be admitting that they all have responsibility for everything that is now going to unfold.

If you continue to listen to all the messaging that comes from politicians, big business, and the media, you are likely to suffer a lot more than any of them will, when part or all of the collapse finally steps right into your life.

These interests are very powerful. That is why things seem to be ok for many of us right now, because they are doing all that they can to keep the plates spinning.

The intention is that they will be able to weather what they hope is just a storm and then put everything back to where they want. They intend to continue doing it quietly and without too many of us being aware of what they are doing behind the scenes.

For the purposes of clarity here, behind the scenes really means the truth, rather than what we actually believe. Because the signs that the collapse is happening – like the cost-of-living crisis – are happening right now, but because they haven’t directly touched us yet, we don’t believe there’s anything to fear – and the collapse is as such being successfully hidden in plain sight.

The uncomfortable bit about change of the scale that ‘The Great Reset’ will be, is that all of the things we take for granted are going to stop, at some point, at least temporarily.

Locking yourself away in a cold-war era bunker with a year’s supply of everything, your own power and water because you can financially afford to do so, might be taking it a bit far.

The best way to get your head around this is to think about or list ALL the things that you actually need to be able to bring into your home, or that automatically come into your home each and every day, and then consider how you would feel if any one or all of them were to suddenly stop.

Let’s just have a quick run through of the things we need, that come or are brought into our homes in this way, each and every day. Let’s start with the immediate essentials:

• Food (BIG HINT – this isn’t takeaways, or anything pre-prepared by anyone else. It’s the basics – it’s what we actually need)
• Water

Then the things that we might use each day, that are important, but would not always be essential during a crisis:

• Electricity
• Gas
• Solid Fuel (Wood, Coal etc)
• Accommodation
• Toiletries
• Transport to obtain or access essentials

Then the things that help to make life easier, or improve quality of life:

• Phones & PCs
• Internet & Broadband
• Transport for other purposes
• Essential Clothing items

The things we don’t actually need, but want:

Okay, so if you’ve read this far, you probably already know and understand that its never a good idea to criticise taste or appearance.

The point is that beyond all of the above – which really is a sliding scale down from absolute essentials to stuff that should provide us with a happy life, to the rest that makes it a good life, there is a colossal section filled up by things can be very different, but which each and every one of us like or want.

NONE OF US need these things. Things like takeaways, £subscription TV streaming services, trips to coffee shops, the latest phone are all things that we want. They are things WE do not need.

You will know what yours are, once you look beyond the lists above.

Once you recognise what you really need if everything stops, then you can begin to plan ahead and insulate yourself against the risks from what lies ahead.

At best, by doing so, you will make a very difficult time much easier to bear and potentially even help your community or help others.

At worst, you may be able to stay away from social problems and civil unrest, if the worst should happen and frustration boils over into anger when no help comes, and others haven’t done anything to prepare.
