Question from a friend:
"Ben I'm trying to understand why someone would bother to prepare for the "end of the world". With all due respect it seems contradictory to me. I'm sure I'm not the only one. Could you elaborate on the concept?"
Answer:
"Thanks for asking. Yes, preparing for the end of the world would not make sense literally (other than maybe spaceships to mars?!), which is why it is in quotes. I just use that phrase as a sensational, umbrella term to connect to the various memes that folks have about unknown catastrophic/apocalyptic events that have always been around. It is meant to stir up the fear of worse case scenarios that people may have but tend to avoid yet may want to explore with awareness in a challenging but safe environment.
Like much of our training, whether martial arts, survival, or even fitness, we go to the edge of what we know and explore possibilities that leave us better equipped and feeling more prepared for any similar outcome life throws at us. To me this is a type of fear shedding or stress inoculation that leaves people feeling empowered and promotes peace by facing underlying fears, and in a practical sense provides awareness of oneself and family/group under stress that builds strong connection, stimulate important questions, and activates a healthy value of life.
One more note is that I do make a distinction between "world" -meaning the human made tools, systems, and infrastructure that support our society, and the "earth" which is the planet or wild source of everything we have ever known. From that perspective, the world could end while the earth continues- it would just be uncomfortable or uninhabitable for humans for a while. It is probably not the best phrase. I am open to suggestions that are congruent with this type of training. Thanks!"
