At the near end of my neurosis, I remembered that I was born on Earth at this particular time and have made these particular choices for the fulfillment of the purpose I was born (materialized) for. If this sounds corny to you, I apologize, but it is a deep understanding I have about purpose and location. All that has occurred in my life so far, as far as i can recall, had a way of showing me there are no coincidences. Given , I want to survive, so I can be of use to a bunch of scared people, my wife, my cats, my sister that sort of thing, the rest is a peculiar certainty that if I am needed i will be alive no matter where i am and if i am not needed, then there will be another chance. The Universe does not waste. Efficiency is paramount. Location is within.
An old thread, but a good post to revive it. Location is indeed within.
Over the past month, I've seen a number of threads that seem to have it all backwards. Questions about "Safe Belts," discussions about money and employment during an economic collapse, talk about hoarding food and cleaning shotguns, consistent worries about detoxification -- can we take a moment to realize how deeply these discussions can get lost in the realm of worldly ("A") influences?
It's true that we live in a 3D world, and equally true that "physicality" generally mediates our experience of "spirituality". So, yes, physicality is important -- but only as a reflection of a deeper spiritual reality.
Awareness comes first, period.
Rather than run around trying to get our lives in order so that we can become more conscious, the focus should simply be on becoming more conscious, and letting that order our lives. This may sound trite, but there really is a big difference. So long as we live in 3D, we will never have control over our physical reality -- ever. 4D machinations of the control system are too complicated for us to understand completely, and too powerful for us to counteract effectively.
I write all of this with great sympathy, because I too have experienced worry, despair, and morbid curiosity about the physical suffering likely to come. For a period of about a year, I suffered intensely in my concern for the physical well-being of others. I encouraged family and friends to prepare for catastrophe. I prepared myself to provide assistance. I often wept over what I assumed would be the deaths of millions or billions. Eventually, however, I realized my efforts and my empathy were operating on the wrong level, and that I was feeding a culture of fear and survivalism.
Isn't the whole idea that we will help "hold down the frequency"? I gently suggest that means being open to experience and standing for consciousness come what may -- not scrabbling to open a concession stand amid the chaos.

On a related note, I've found that a little bit of Zen often helps overcome worldly concerns. Perhaps the following story, "Bodhidharma's Mind Pacifying," from
The Gateless Gate will resonate with some of you:
[Quick note for the unfamiliar: Bodhidharma (also spelled Bodhidarma) was a Buddhist monk from southern India who lived in the 5th/6th century, and whom tradition credits with bringing Zen Buddhism to China.]
達磨面壁。
Bodhidharma sat facing the wall.
二祖立雪。
The Second Patriarch stood in the snow.
斷臂云、弟子心未安、乞師安心。
He cut off his arm and presented it to Bodhidharma, crying, "My mind has no peace as yet! I beg you, master, please pacify my mind!"
磨云、將心來爲汝安。
"Bring your mind here and I will pacify it for you," replied Bodhidharma.
祖云、覓心了不可得。
"I have searched for my mind, and I cannot take hold of it," said the Second Patriarch.
磨云、爲汝安心竟。
"Now your mind is pacified," said Bodhidharma.
