For one who has perception, a mere sign is enough.
For one who does not heed,
a thousand explanations are not enough.
What to watch for in the world
– You must become aware of situations around the world regarding the availability of food and water.
– You must become aware of changes in climate and its effects upon food production in the world and its effects upon the well-being of people in both urban and rural environments.
– You must be aware of political and economic instability and how it is manifesting within certain places.
– You must be aware of any outbreaks of pandemic illness.
– You must be aware of conflicts that continue to exist and conflicts that may emerge in the future. When you look at the world, look for these things. Just bear witness to them and see if there are any signs. Not everything you will look at is important. Not everything you look at will be a sign.

Recognizing the signs
To begin, you must learn to become still and observant— looking without judging, looking without coming to conclusions, looking for signs.
The signs are not everywhere, but they are abundant enough that if you are observant and give yourself to being observant as you pass through your day, then you will begin to see things, and they will stand out from everything else.
They will stand out. They will impress you more than just the usual kinds of fascinating things or disturbing things you may hear about or read about.
They will impress you at a deeper level. Pay attention. Write them down. Keep a record of them with a date and a time and a place so you can begin to bring the pieces of the puzzle together.
