However, a book published in June 2026, ThriveSpan: Walking Gently Into What Matters Now, by Dr. Denise Taylor, caught my eye. Her point is that stopping work can create a strange gap where the things that used to define you, for example, money, job, responsibilities, schedules, and achievement, may suddenly become much less important. She suggests instead to value reflection, nature, ordinary pleasures, curiosity, and creativity, not just big adventures or accomplishments. What would Creator advise are the priorities in retirement?” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 weeks ago • Limiting Beliefs65 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “I have recently become interested in how people self-interpret and evaluate their own aging, their beliefs about how aging is going, known in the literature as “self-perception of aging.” I am exploring the issue from scientific, literary, and even poetic/philosophical angles. Research shows changes to self-perception, especially when coupled with new behaviors, seem to create small-to-moderate improvements on psychological scales of well-being, and with potential benefits extending to physical performance and mental health. Is this interest due to my own aging (I’m now in my 60s) or has it been created by recent enhancements to the LHP-DSMR protocols to address aging and regenerating?” What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 3 weeks ago • Limiting Beliefs67 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “Self-perceptions of aging seem to predict later health, functioning, and longevity in longitudinal studies. One study of 23 years by Becca Levy at Yale seems revelatory in this regard because it appears to detail biological mechanisms associated with beliefs around aging—that positive beliefs can down-regulate genes associated with Alzheimer’s risk; that negative stereotypes trigger immediate, measurable spikes in blood pressure and heart rate, while positive ones buffer this stress; that optimistic agers show slower accumulation of hippocampal atrophy and Alzheimer’s biomarkers. How large an influence does self-perception have on aging, and are the mechanisms identified correct?” What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 3 weeks ago • Limiting Beliefs44 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “In the book published in 2022, Breaking the Age Code: How Your Beliefs About Aging Determine How Long & Well You Live, by Yale professor Becca Levy, she claims that internal narratives about aging are a primary determinant of healthspan and lifespan. She claims about 25% of how we age is determined by genes, while the rest is influenced by lifestyle and beliefs. She tracked participants for 23 years and found beliefs held in midlife directly predicted survival decades later. Those with positive outlooks recovered faster from severe disabilities and maintained mobility longer. Optimistic age beliefs also seemed to reduce the accumulation of Alzheimer’s biomarkers in the brain, even in individuals genetically predisposed to the disease. How reliable are her findings?” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 weeks ago • Limiting Beliefs36 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “In Breaking the Age Code: How Your Beliefs About Aging Determine How Long & Well You Live, Yale professor Becca Levy claims that internal narratives about aging are a primary determinant of healthspan and lifespan. She claims that positive beliefs about aging can add 7.5 years to your life. She claims that those holding positive views of aging (wisdom, growth, and continued development) live significantly longer than those who internalize negative stereotypes (decline and burden), even after controlling for economic status, loneliness, and functional health. To shift mindset around aging, she suggests recognizing aging stereotypes, looking for external factors of frailty, and challenging negative stereotypes. How accurate are her claims and suggestions?” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 weeks ago • Limiting Beliefs41 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “In the 19th century, narratives of aging were largely positive about honor, wisdom, and tradition. Elders were often depicted as revered figures. The usual narrative of aging in the West now is the “decline narrative,” framing growing older as an inevitable downward trajectory toward decrepitude, dependency, and death. It suggests that as one ages, one becomes less valuable, less competent, and more of a burden. Is this solely because industrialization prioritized speed and efficiency over experience, reducing the social status of older adults and medicalizing normal age-related changes? How can dignity, purpose, and value be maintained in later life?” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 weeks ago • Limiting Beliefs45 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “Much suffering comes from an implicit bargain with life—if I work hard enough, love well enough, choose wisely enough, things should turn out as I hoped. Often life disproves this. Regret and disappointment can become a form of knowledge, but acquired at painful cost. How can the past become useful insight into living, even when it remains painful? Is the wisest response to such pain to stop demanding that reality become different before people allow themselves to live? Is there a better response?” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 weeks ago • Limiting Beliefs50 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “A person with strong cognitive ability may be able to analyze and solve complex problems, but wisdom involves the capacity to become the kind of person who lives the right answer. A person may possess extensive knowledge but lack the ability to handle conflict, badly treat those who cannot benefit them, or respond poorly when things go wrong—the difference between truth understood and truth inhabited. A person may value knowledge but fail to choose it under pressure, or they may choose it occasionally without developing it into character. Wisdom is more the practical application of understanding to ethical living and decision-making. How would Creator improve this perspective?” What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 3 weeks ago • Limiting Beliefs46 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “I’m interested in closing what is referred to as the “knowing-doing gap,” the difference between the information that Get Wisdom shares and our ability to live by it. This is, I think, a perpetual challenge. St. Paul speaks directly about the struggle between knowing what is right and actually doing it. In Romans 7, he says, “I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing.” He explains that he has the desire to do what is good, yet finds that he cannot always carry it out. The answer for St. Paul was not simply to try harder but to learn to depend on God more and allow His Spirit to transform our desires and actions. Did St. Paul have the best solution?” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 weeks ago • Limiting Beliefs47 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “Some spiritual traditions idealize a person whose inner state is not easily disturbed by outer events. For example, someone who is calm, equanimous, and detached from craving and aversion depicts the spiritual traditions typically evident in Buddhism, Stoicism, Christianity, and Hinduism. This might, though, be considered by some as unhealthy emotional suppression, or even as withdrawal from living fully. However, in the book Oracles of Celestine Light: Complete Trilogy of Genesis, Nexus & Vivus, by Embrosewyn Tazkuvel, Yeshua is portrayed as someone who acts, confronts, loves, rebukes, celebrates, suffers, and makes choices. So how are “negative” emotions like anger, lust, jealousy, excitement, and disappointment to be dealt with? What model should we strive for?” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 weeks ago • Limiting Beliefs50 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “A common assumption is that enlightenment means becoming detached or impervious to external disturbances and emotions. But by contrast, the Sufi poet Rumi says be overwhelmed by love, longing, grief, beauty and separation and be transformed. The modern writer Eckhart Tolle says emotional patterns can become activated, but consciousness can also observe them without feeding them through further identification and resistance. Marcus Aurelius says let the world move you, but don’t surrender your governing faculty to it. Is it better to say that spiritual maturity requires deep capacity to feel the world’s weight, beauty, tragedy, and complexity while maintaining an inner awareness of divinity? Is trying to become undisturbed a form of disturbance?” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 weeks ago • Limiting Beliefs37 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “Is it true that rationality doesn’t necessarily require emotional absence? For some people, being rational becomes part of their self-concept; emotional reactions don’t merely feel unpleasant, it threatens their identity. They are quite stern with themselves about maintaining rationality and not becoming emotional in upsetting situations. I suppose this could be due to an internal rule like, “I must remain rational when things go wrong,” or, “If I become emotional, I have failed.” But surely rationality doesn’t necessarily require emotional suppression and denial. Isn’t it better to let yourself be shaken without becoming chaotic; sad without becoming despairing; frightened without becoming cowardly; excited without becoming reckless? Is the golden mean still best?” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 weeks ago • Limiting Beliefs40 views0 answers0 votesA practitioner asks: “Would it be helpful to pray to you, Creator, to not only replace all self-limiting beliefs but to be open to and be inspired by beliefs that are positive, powerful, and the most helpful in fostering our highest alignment with Creator in the safest and quickest way for all levels of the mind? Or would this be an addition we could make to the LHP if we are interested in that for ourselves? How can we cultivate beliefs that are shaped and constructed by higher truth to serve us? What can Source Creator share with us regarding guiding the improvement of our beliefs?” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 1 year ago • Limiting Beliefs237 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “Creator, if we are subjected to self-limiting beliefs from interloper mind control, can you tell us if there are positive expanding beliefs we could suggest to ourselves to counter them? Beliefs like, “I am unlimited.” Could you give us an example or guide to picking them and how they could be implemented effectively?” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 1 year ago • Limiting Beliefs365 views0 answers0 votesThemistocles (thuh·mist-uh·kleez) said: “I have with me two gods, Persuasion and Compulsion.” Jenny Mollen said, “I think the power of persuasion would be the greatest superpower of all time.” Aesop said, “Persuasion is often more effectual than force.” And James Altucher (All-tuh-chur) said, “Most people don’t have the power of persuasion.” Does this explain why so many turn to compulsion instead? What is Creator’s perspective on persuasion versus coercion, and persuasion as a superpower?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs1144 views0 answers0 votes
