How to Survive 2012: Tactics and Survival Places for the Coming Pole Shift

Very detailed survival list. Also a detailed account of what the earth and sun will be doing. Everyone should read this book.

Through the cracking of codes, unveiling magnetic reversals of the sun, translating hieroglyphs, study of old maps, decoding astrological clues, and geological research, Patrick Geryl forecasts a world cataclysm December 21, 2012. For those who accept the Orthodox Baha'i Teachings, Geryl's forecast has some basis for consideration. When 'Abdu'l-Baha sailed on the Cedric in 1912 concurrent with his historic visit to the United States, He related that before a hundred years had passed, waters would reach the lower floors of the New York City skyscrapers. Had He sailed on the Titanic as scheduled, He may not have survived. When recalling the sinking, `Abdu'l-Baha said "...Therein is a mystery; but whatever the reason... it was a very sad occurrence, one which brought tears to many eyes and distress to many souls. I was greatly affected by this disaster...I am very sad indeed. But when I consider this calamity in another aspect, I am consoled by the realization that the worlds of God are infinite; that though they were deprived of this existence, they have other opportunities in the life beyond, even as Christ has said, "In my Father's house are many mansions." `Abdu'l-Baha continues "...Let no one imagine that these words imply that man should not be thorough and careful in his undertakings. God has endowed man with intelligence so that he may safeguard and protect himself. Therefore, he must provide and surround himself with all that scientific skill can produce. He must be deliberate, thoughtful and thorough in his purposes, build the best ship and provide the most experienced captain; yet, withal, let him rely upon God and consider God as the one Keeper. If God protects, nothing can imperil man's safety; and if it be not His will to safeguard, no amount of preparation and precaution will avail." --"The Promulgation of Universal Peace" pages 46-49 Although Geryl does not come from a background of religious urgency, he provides a glimmer of hope "...In the face of this immense cataclysm, Geryl urges mankind to prepare and endure. The outlook is bleak, but the obstacles are not insurmountable." Orthodox Baha'is are aware that the Central Figures of their Faith and the three guardians forewarned of a time of great upset and tribulation, and Baha'u'llah shared His thoughts of future events as well. "The world is in travail, and its agitation waxeth day by day. Its face is turned towards waywardness and unbelief. Such shall be its plight, that to disclose it now would not be meet and seemly. Its perversity will long continue. And when the appointed hour is come, there shall suddenly appear that which shall cause the limbs of mankind to quake. Then, and only then, will the Divine Standard be unfurled, and the Nightingale of Paradise warble its melody." -- "Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá'u'lláh" pages 118, 119 After laying a background based upon secrets of a distant past, Geryl begins discussing his expectations of what we might expect d

This book is a unique mix of fire and ice. Not deeply religious but honest. The vast majority of people do not possess mental abilities to grasp the whole book instantly. But everyone can identify with some aspect of the material, and this book, as with the whole series, will come at you like no other. It may become the biggest obsession of your life thus far. Prepare to ignore your favorite hobby for a while. An "Inconvenient Truth" on steroids. A fascinating read! After having traveled extensively for more than a decade the sense of geological redistribution, not to mention climate change, began to bother me. The religious chapter brought me back to humble earth as having spent my youth Catholic I knew of the 70,000+ witnesses of Fatima. Everything fell into place. I recall Lucia dos Santos was branded a prankster, a disturbed young lady, even an outright demon. But as godless communism rose, and the holocaust happened, then the great world war two. Lucia was accepted into the convent and came to be close by the side of Pope John Paul II always. Communism lost its power. The last manifestation of Fatima that was revealed to Lucia by Our Lady does concern the events leading up to 2012, if you take a close look. A real close look! Mother Angelica spoke of it in her Christmas show on EWTN. So without him knowing it God picks a person with a truly gifted mind and a big heart to reach out to mankind with a message. A man that told of things in the heavens that took others multiple millions, if not billions of dollars and many years to figure out. God gives us a lot of material to study, the universe. Geryl lived up to the task. He did well. I believe he now realizes where his inspiration came from. It might have a minor mistake or two out of volumes of subjects to cover, evidence and proofs. Who among us could put something like this together any better? We should all embrace people like this and thank God for them for too soon the time will come when we realize this man is right.

Patrick Geryl is brutally honest in describing this Cataclysm in our near future. Just to give you a small sample found in the foreword: "I clearly explained that life after a polar reversal is nothing but horror, pure unimaginable horror. All securities you presently have at hand such as food transportation and medicine will disappear in one big blow, as will our entire civilization, dissolved into nothingness. It cannot be more horrifying than this; worse than the worst nightmare. More destructive than a nuclear war in which the entire global arsenal of nuclear weapons has been deployed. Are you grasping the facts? The earth will be subject to total destruction. It will be many times worse than my description. You will know terrible hunger, cold, and pain without the hope of a quick recovery; all knowledge and resources will have been completely destroyed. This will be the reality of your daily life after the forthcoming polar reversal. This is the scenario you will have to fight your way through in order to survive." The author of this book states that a pole reversal/slip occurs every 11,500-12,000 years, caused by our sun's solar cycles that occur in this period of time. Geryl goes on to state that if you want to survive you need at least 12-18 thousand dollars minimum to purchase necessary items to survive and you need to pick the right location in the world which does not include North and South America. I gave this book 5 stars because I agree with almost everything Patrick Geryl says in this book except the following points. Geryl states on page 96-97 that after the pole shift of 2012, the United States and Canada will be located under the Artic circle (the new South Pole) and North America will be under glaciers just like the last ice age. I don't agree with his logic on this. Another item I disagree with is, what our future population should be limited to because more people, means more pollution. Geryl states that no more than 100 million people should occupy the earth which is an extreme position in my opinion. Even the N.W.O. people say 500 million people are optimal. The world can sustain 1 or 2 billion people easily and should be limited to this. Geryl also states that just before the next polar flip the population of earth should be culled to a mere 100,000 people. That is just absurd; almost as crazy as his suggestion that venereal disease can be cured by fasting for 16 days (page 107). Geryl is a vegetarian that believes in a fruit and vegetable diet and wants to ban many industries in the coming new world which include slaughterhouses, tobacco companies, candy companies, chemical companies (pesticides and herbicides), food companies that process food, and limit the size of cities (avoiding tall buildings) in the pursuit of a much happier society. On page 128, Geryl says: "A strong central authority will have to issue strict laws for starting companies and the use of raw materials.

This is the question that comes to mind when considering the thesis of Patrick Geryl's book, How to Survive 2012? Based on his research and the deciphering of mathematical codes left by ancient scholars, a cataclysmic event will soon overwhelm the planet. This is the third in a series of his books about the devastating destruction that the author has discovered is coming in 2012---a planetary geophysical pole reversal. The first part of the book discusses his voluminous research from several different disciplines including mathematics, ancient texts, archaeology, geology, cartography, mythology, astronomy, and physics that led him to conclude that a pole reversal will happen in 2012. Such a shift of the earth's crust would result in the destruction of civilization and the deaths of most of the world's population. The author can get quite graphic in his description of what would happen during and following a pole reversal. However, I find that there is a wisdom and compassion in his style of writing. It is to prepare the mind like an inoculation so that when actual conditions present themselves, one can act. Patrick's writer's voice is clear, logical, enthusiastic, and strident. He believes that the devastation of 2012 is going to happen. It has happened thousands of times in the history of the earth, he contends, in clock-like fashion. The compelling aspect about Patrick to me is that he presents himself as a sincere person, a diligent, self-made scholar who has put together the pieces of the puzzle into a huge mosaic until the picture becomes clear and the arrows point to one central message. If you ever wondered why the Egyptians and Mayans labored for generations to build pyramids, wouldn't warning future generations of a planetary cataclysmic event be such a reason? It so happens that our technology just now in this generation has reached a point to be able to decipher the symbols and messages contained there. If pole reversal is coming in 2012 how can it be that our top scientists are not warning us about it, and how is it that they don't know about it? Patrick claims that he has cracked the code mathematically and it is evident in the book that he has been thinking about this voluminous topic deeply for many years. Many breakthrough discoveries have come from independent persons who thought about things from different angles in totally new ways. What distinguishes his book in an area of rapidly mounting interest is the quality of his analyses and the manner in which he came upon his discovery. He claims that he has deciphered the messages of warning left for us by our ancestors in the pyramids, in the Mayan calendar, Dendera Zodiac, the Nazca lines, and the ancient myths and legends. The great controversy lies not in if he is wrong, but if he is right. If he is right, then he could be warning us of the inevitability of the most tumultuous event in the history of humanity. While the implications of what he is presen
