I lived in Alaska for 40 years and we were prepared because of real possibility of devastating earthquake. It's good to be prepared but not dwell on the negative. What you focus on grows. Y2K in the year 2000 was supposed to create chaos and all computers to go down. We were to have a technological blackout with dire consequences. It never happened. It never happened. This is all fear based. Yes, be prepared, but do not spread fear. What you focus on grows. We create our realities. We live in an interactive universe that responds to our frequency and vibration. If you are living in fear, you are lowering your frequency and vibration. Focus on what you want to see not on what you don't want to see.

I was brought up in the North of Ireland in the troubles..West Belfast a Catholic "I know in a program " our electric &water was turned off(Catholic side only) mum made a wee stove out the back &taught local neighbours how to cook soda farls while we sourced locally for water . What an adventure !! It's amazing what one can do when the "must do" comes around. My thinking is.step up, show up, and show up for our beautiful brother &,sisters..Something has to change &change ain't always easy xox 🌻

I have followed Gregg Braden for years now. I trust his integrity. He has talked about an experiment years ago that may be something we can all do together at this point in time. This experiment was a certain group of people were trained to focus on peace and love. All of them at the same time for an hour or so. The results from this was less crime, less car accidents, and a ceasefire. If the awakening people all get together I believe we could downsize the unrest that can happen. Just putting it out there. 😊😊

Best to for neighbours to become organised units growing food medicine and helping each other. Every man for himself never works in the end. We must community build starting now

Amen! We are all eternal and divine love and we can change the trajectory of the world

Thank you for Being here with me during these challenging times God Bless you and God Bless us all 🎉 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸God Bless America 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thank you for this John. I appreciate this perspective. I also find great value in the reminder that something bad might not happen. I am definitely interested in raising my consciousness/ frequency along with enough others to bring about change without disaster. Simultaneously, I’m taking steps to be as self-sufficient as possible in the event of serious disruption. Deeply appreciate all your insights & information as we go through this evolutionary process❤

Thank you! Whatever happens, I think it is important to be prepared, but we must also remember all the resources that local and Federal Governments have, that in difficult times people tend to be great helpers to others, that we can be optimistic and hope that if something happens, it will bring important evolutionary and benevolent changes. That with empathy, compassion and Ethical Principles we can manage anything well.

We must learn to replace fear with healthy pragmatism mixed with critical thinking and skepticism. And (as Paul Selig.'s guides teach), we must realize that what we put in darkness, draws us to the darkness'

Thank you for being the person you are! What is the purpose? I don't have wisdom about why. But I do have the knowing somehow I am here to help all of us to become the best we can be throughout this process. It all has to be torn down. Not a happy or pretty time. Birth isn't always pretty. BUT..early life is amazing and then we get to have a voice and new beginnings

Thank you John for all you do. I've read all 4 of the John Matherson books by William Forstchen twice. Definitely helps to prepare you for unimaginable scenarios

Great book, read it a few years ago. Pretty scary scenarios.

I appreciate the emphasis on potential and (to paraphrase) how our choice of living in fear or peace can ameliorate the results of what is forecast. Every recent generation has had the potential for world-wide destruction; the Cuban missile crisis; the Hopi “Blue Star Kachina” falling from the sky in the 80’s that would end the world (it was a satellite); some people saved enough wood, food and water for 3 years because of Y2K and the world-wide social destruction that was supposed to occur; the same same for 2012 and the end of the Mayan calendar;the same warning to prepare for the rioting and destruction as millions were to die from Covid and supplies become non-existent; and more in between. I believe we have had, and still have, off-planet help as we learn to rest in what humanity is supposed to be, was designed to be. Scientists have proven for many years with study after study that with numbers of people coming together to focus on peace, peace was had, or at least a there was a significant lessening of violence. Thank you,John, for giving us both the forecasts and what I believe to be the solution, which is in our very hands and hearts. Thank you also to those greater beings who are helping this great shift. We cannot keep lurching on with our current systems of government!

Truly, always appreciate your insightive shares & food for thought. Be Prepared!

Thanks John, good to have someone keeping us up on what's going on and giving us insight on how to cope with the times and what to do and think about, always thinking positive ❤❤❤🫖

Thank you so much for sharing this viewpoint and for letting people know about the book. That book informed our preparations but this reminds us of the purpose of these events..

Thank you as always and I appreciate you opening minds and communicating to us and all you do. I do not enjoy the recent editing though. It’s very “KZfaq” where you don’t take a breath or there are weird cuts as you speak. I am sure you’re not doing the editing but I much preferred when it felt like you were just reaching out and talking to us. Now you seem kind of robot and not as “real” or personal. I hope this crossed as intended which is I’m perfectly fine when you pause and consider your words and take a breath instead of the KZfaq cuts that are common amongst influencer videos.

Regards ,thank you

Thank you John

Another thought provoking inspiration to focus both on being prepared for disaster and contemplation of the events that have transpired in life to bring this consciousness to this evolutionary juncture. Thank you Sir!

THANK U for regularly discussing your thoughts on cliff highs hypothesis💯👏🏼 peace be with u brother😇🙏🏼

Always interesting and thought provoking your insights John. Many thanks for your work. Bliss to Mankind Empowerment. Kudos from Japan ❤

Have you heard of Sacha Stone and his Lazarus Intitiative?

Thank you for bringing this information to us

Thanks John. For those of us who would like to take action to avert or minimize negative impacts, does anyone out there in this community have any ideas about what form of visualization would be appropriate? Picturing a white light of peace and safety around July 15th?

Depression is brought on by specific "trains of thought" and can be overcome by changing thought patterns. What thoughts bring you to your Depression? Change the way and what you think about.

We very much appreciate your subscribing to The Arlington Institute's channel here on KZfaq. We're in the business of facilitating the transition to a new world and produce a steady stream of content from Gregg Braden, Penny Kelly, myself and many others -- all pointed toward making sense of and preparing for the extraordinary change that is on our near horizon. As futurists, we're particularly interested featuring information that provides "early warning" about emerging new ideas, approaches, inventions and methodologies that will define the future that is fast approaching. We're also most interested in providing our subscribers the opportunity to become aware of these new possibilities before the general public becomes aware of them. We'd like for you to have a head start on this amazing new world that is heading this way and we do that in a number of ways. One of our programs -- TransitionTalks -- is a monthly speaker series hosted here in Berkeley Springs, WV (and live streamed everywhere else) that features extraordinary presenters who have something very special to say about the new world that is emerging. Our next speaker, Teri Cochrane, is a great example of someone who is clearly ahead of the pack -- in this case in very successfully dealing with all kinds of illness with only food and supplements. Take a look at the description below and if you see that Teri's talk might be helpful, you can join us here down the road from Washington and Baltimore or online. You can find complete information at www.transitiontalks.org We'd love to have you. Welcome aboard. Nice to have you here. John L. Petersen, Founder and President The Arlington Institute www.arlingtoninstitute.org www.transitiontalks.org

I have great difficulty wrapping my mind around this. I believe this will be worse than we can imagine, take longer to resolve than we think. As a country of wimps and violence , we won't fare well. Listening to your intelligent broadcasts with trepidation ☠️

And thanks for scrubbing my counter point comment. I thought more of you folks

This video seems strangely edited.

even video editing wont hide his rambling, gettn old
