DWQA QuestionsCategory: Divine GuidanceA practitioner asks: “Today I attended a retreat, for men only, in our parish and it was very well organized with good lay speakers, good prayer, food and fellowship. I would like to mention GetWisdom to a few of them but wonder if I’m just going to get into trouble. Perhaps you could ask Creator about that.”

First of all, we cannot hope to answer an open-ended question like this, because it is a vague description of a possible conversation at some point in the future without stating with whom this might take place and exactly what might be said. There are some things that could be mentioned, and others that would be too controversial, too alarming, and would likely be disquieting and would create some consternation and the likely wish to avoid you. This is unnecessary. So the general advice we would give people is not to rush to tell them to go to GetWisdom and get started, and worse, allude to a coming annihilation by extraterrestrials wanting to destroy you, and so on. That is too much, too soon. The best way to proceed in sharing anything is to test the waters, go slow, mention some things bit by bit about your knowledge of whatever you feel is appropriate to talk about: metaphysical workings, how the divine realm works, some of the ideas about reincarnation, whatever might fit into a conversation under discussion and see how that is received. And by offering useful knowledge you can intrigue people and then, if they are curious, may ask why you believe what you believe and where you learned it from. You can allude to the fact there is a source you believe to be authoritative that is bringing forth new divine wisdom and perhaps offer to see if you can find out something about a question they might have and then bring that information back to them after a little search through the archives, or perhaps submitting a question to Creator. This would be spreading breadcrumbs for them to follow. Eventually, it may lead nowhere, depending on the person, but you will have less risk of being too disruptive in a way that cannot be tolerated. Keep in mind everyone is programmed to disbelieve many, many, things that GetWisdom takes for granted. So this is not as easy as it sounds. But a gradual approach has built-in safety because you can stop short of the brink and not cross a line that would make you to be perceived as a potential danger to a group of potential skeptics.
