Introduction
This work had its origins during the Gulf War of 1991, and is now being
revised to address the new realities that have arisen since the Emergency
Day attacks of 11 September 2001. Its purpose is to
provide tools and techniques for preventing the spread of a world crisis
into one's own life. By this, I do not mean
isolating one's self from world events -- indeed, quite the opposite: I
mean actively combatting the
spiritually damaging effects of crisis situations by taking specific,
positive, purposeful actions in connection with those events.
The fifty ideas outlined here fall under five
broad categories:
Any given idea might, of course, fall under more than one of these headings.
Following each link above will lead you to the relevant subset of the fifty.
In the weeks to come, I will be expanding on each of the fifty
ideas -- illustrating the meaning of each with a short definition and some
relevant queries, and offering links and references to related on-line,
print, and other resources. These ideas should be equally applicable to
any crisis, of course, but you will find that many of the resources that
are
included are (understandably) geared to our present crisis, the aftermath
of the Emergency Day attacks and the subsequent anti-terrorism
campaign.
Your feedback is welcome and encouraged. You can submit
suggestions for resources to be added to a page, or just send a
comment about this site. And obviously, there
are more than fifty ways -- let me know the ways
that you find.
Thanks for visiting,
and enjoy!
