Question: Is a third world war a real possibility, and what might Trump’s trade war lead to? While spiritual work is the foundation, it is important to uphold a positive vision and remember that suffering and the School of Hard Knocks can sometimes be a necessary part of one’s growth. How should we prepare from a material point of view for possible future events to protect our loved ones, be an example or help others? Should we consider that the internet could be shut down globally and permanently? Should we buy a simple radio to access information, learn first aid, stock up on items for barter, grow our own food, or make our own clothes? Or is it impossible to materially prepare for such things, and the only option is to respond depending on circumstances?
Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2025 Ukraine Webinar.
Well, my beloved, we have in a previous ascended master dispensation given teachings about the possibility of a nuclear war, the necessity to build shelters, the necessity to prepare for survival. This was a specific situation in the late 1980s and early 1990s. We are not repeating these warnings today for the simple reason that we do not consider a third world war a realistic possibility. As we have said quite some time ago, the more time passes where this war does not manifest, the less likely it becomes. There is, of course, no guarantee of anything in a world where free will reigns supreme. Nevertheless, we are not encouraging our direct students to become “preppers”, as the popular saying goes in the United States. You can look at situations and say we can take reasonable precautions, like, for example, the countries in Europe have said you should have supplies so you can survive for three days. You can, of course, store supplies for a little bit longer if you feel like it.
But to completely change your lifestyle and to prepare for a breakdown in the current society and order is not what we are encouraging you to do. In terms of the internet, there could be disruptions, but the internet is designed precisely to make it very difficult to shut down, and therefore, it is not likely that it can be shut down worldwide. There could be local disruptions for a shorter period of time. It really is a very individual thing, depending on where you live in the world, what you think the risk might be. And you need to decide this intuitively by tuning in to what is the right thing for your situation.
Obviously, you can look at the world and see that there are certain regions or countries that are more likely to be affected by war than others, and therefore, it could be valid to take more elaborate precautions there. But still, we are not encouraging you to completely change your lifestyle and focus on a breakdown of the current order. We are encouraging you to tune in to the light, to stay positive, and to hold the vision that we will transition into Saint Germain’s Golden Age without these major cataclysmic events. Now, as we have said, there certainly can be upheaval on a smaller scale, on a local scale, so that is why it is, for some people, valid to take more elaborate precautions than for others. And this you can only determine with your rational minds and your intuition, tuning in to your higher self, to the ascended masters, and see what is applicable where you live.
