Thank you for the session, team!
As far as preparation goes, probably one needs to have passed a certain threshold through finding and applying special knowledge. It's simplistic but that's what hit me first. Excuse my English.
Edit: Why did they put "prepare" in quotes?

Well, I was just going to comment that the oil in the lamps sounds like a metaphor for knowledge and applying it - in a spiritual sense mainly. Although the same could be said for 'prepping' in the material sense, if we consider what sort of consequences comets can produce on life as we know it - and therefore how limited our 3d prepping efforts may be - being part of the future probably means reaching the 'graduation frequency', so we fit in the future world, whether in a future incarnation or this one, without necessarily surviving the physical changes. And if we add the idea that the places that will be hit the hardest are determined by the negativity of the people in the area, then that gives further weight to spiritual understanding as the bridge to the future.
Oh, and thanks for the session! I just remembered that last night I had one of those comet + nuclear bomb dreams. Hmm...

Sorry, my mistake - quote from 06 September 2006 session. And thanks for this one!

I see now what is meant, thanks. But not necessarily how to ask the question. I guess "what would a 4d StO candidate preparedness priority-list look like?" or "Which elements of a 'wise virgins oil' would be healthiest on a soul level to pay attentien to?", would be too broad and would need to be broken down into bits?
Laura said:
That sounds great, it's good to hear that stuff is out of the way :) . I have a few, though they could probably be framed more concisely.
Relating to the 'comets being attracted to high-density-lie areas' idea, would it be beneficial for us to move to a certain geographical area together, or at least do this locally, forming lie free zones?.
How are we to survive the rampant psychopathy in this world that has obviously chosen it's own path to oblivion? Will we have to defend ourselves physically? Should we be basically be prepared to die?
Is the approach of the wave going to change our experience of reality, so that, basically, our acceptance of Truth or Lies is much more important than worrying about matters such as food?
Will we have an opportunity to help others here, or are we basically trying to prepare an Ark and get the hell out of here, leaving the population to their chosen lessons?

Mrs. Peel said:
Or at least being prepared in terms of more than just 3D thinking. In 4th Way there's a substance produced by those working together that can't be produced alone. Perhaps coming changes will allow people to use that certain something in ways we simply cannot in 3D? I could be off-base. But it feels like they're referring to more than just diet, breathing, preparation for economic collapse or plague ...

I think the best way to be prepared (our lamp oil) is 'frequency' produced by our efforts in doing/ living The Work everyday
(saving energy so we can connect to our higher centres and to become 'immortal' as Gurdijeff said) ...
And the Cass said it's not important where we are but who we are and what we see ..
.So I assume it is not food and water that is the most important couse it's only fuel for the body - the soul is the one that counts...) :/

The parable ends (Mt. 25:13) with a statement about "keeping watch," although the passage is about "preparation" and some translations use some form of that word in v. 10.
Here (from the C's) we have "be prepared," presumably looking at the passage as a whole. The parable describes what happens to those who were unprepared. They were not "watching for the signs" (Mt. 24), and they were not expecting to have to wait so long. The lack of preparation is specifically in reference to running low on something -- a source of light -- that is consumed continuously and must be replenished during a long wait (from carrying an extra supply). Hmmm.
As I recall, 10 "virgins" is probably referring to 10 young women -- servants perhaps? -- and evidently with a definite role or job to perform. Half of them weren't doing their jobs, and got fired. Hmmm.
There is a cultural context for this story -- weddings, lamps, virgins -- but when I try Googling it I come up with mounds of rubbish "spiritual" interpretations instead. Does anybody have more information? What exactly was their job?

Though this is a bit literal, the oil in the lamps also reminds me of fuel in general ie. fat / protein which is 'burned' and used for energy by our bodies. And having enough of it on reserve to tide us over during dark times. Likely that the C's said what they did knowing it had multiple meanings. "Be prepared" is also the motto of the boy scouts, and those two words have come to mind quite a lot lately! In any case, I look forward to seeing what kinds of questions we can formulate here.

I think to find the real "meat" of that matter, one would have to look further afield than a Judaic context. Probably in Anatolian or Greek ideas/customs since whatever is "Judaism" seems to have been born of Mesopotamian, Anatolian, and Greek influences.
One thing that occurred to me as I was reading other responses was this:
