"Consider that it may be best to accept the situation as it appears. It is possible that the confusion and chaos that is planned for humanity to experience and accept is exactly the experience needed. It is expected that mankind will resist and condemn the chaotic conditions and desire an end. If instead these conditions are accepted as a part of the process of the eradication of the very chaos and confusion that is being experienced so that these can be replaced with a totally new experience, a shift in the total scenario is inevitable. Indeed, it can be considered that what is going on is inevitable. The current system must breakdown in order that a new one can be put in place. It provides the opportunity for mankind to intercede and create for itself what it desires."
