Isaac was a son born late in life by our standards at least. According to Scriptures, his wife Rebekah bore Isaac at the age of 99. This seems to be yet another example of the Dark Alliance working against humanity to confuse about the nature of the loving God, but the people of faith seem to twist themselves into virtual pretzels explaining how this was necessary to show true faith in God. Are they right, and did Creator really ask Abraham to sacrifice Isaac?”ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Religions577 views0 answers0 votesA practitioner writes: “I’ve never heard any Buddhist teacher talk about protection from beings. There is a story in the Pali Canon of when a group of monks were meditating in a haunted forest and were getting attacked by demonic type beings, and the Buddha taught them loving kindness and compassion meditations, and these beings were transformed by these meditations.” Is that all the Buddha was doing to stay safe? Will this work for the average person?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Religions546 views0 answers0 votesA practitioner asks: “As a longtime Buddhist practitioner and now a mindfulness teacher myself, I continue to struggle with trying to make sense of some of the core teachings in Buddhism. One of the three “marks of existence” that all Buddhist practices are centered around understanding through increasingly direct and deep insight/realizations on the path to enlightenment is “no self” or “not self” (annata), which includes that there is no such thing as a permanent, unchanging entity or “soul.” It is said that in his quest for enlightenment, the Buddha looked deeply for the “housebuilder,” the one behind the whole thing, this experience of “I, me, myself,” the doer, and he couldn’t find one, and found instead that all phenomena, including the experience of a fixed entity called a self or soul, were simply the result of interdependent causes and conditions coming together temporarily, including even consciousness itself, which arises temporarily to meet with sensory experiences (which includes the 6th sense of mind) and that this consciousness we experience, too, dies with the body. Of course, there is something that experiences rebirth, as Buddhism was very, very clear on that … Since the goal, enlightenment, involves the ONLY permanent death … The cessation of rebirth. One of my primary teachers stated that what gets reborn is not a “soul,” but our “habits.” I am really hoping that Creator can shed some light on these things, since the teachings of the Buddha are what I resonate with the most, and yet I am also an LHP practitioner and do believe in the divine realm and love the idea of having/being an “immortal soul.” The LHP itself I do see as basically a lovingkindness/compassion/sympathetic joy/equanimity (Divine Abodes) practice, and therefore an extension of Buddhist practice. I accept that especially because the teachings of the Buddha were not written down until hundreds of years after his death that they could have become corrupted, and that given the depth of dark manipulation on Earth they most certainly were. However, this teaching, that there is no soul, that there is no self, is basically THE most important teaching in all of Buddhism. The Suttas (sacred ancient Buddhist texts) quote the Buddha as saying, “Nothing whatsoever is to be taken as I, mine, myself. Whoever has understood this has understood all the teachings.” How are we to make sense of this?”ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Religions552 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “I have been thinking about the meaning of the “four horsemen of the apocalypse” in the Book of Revelation in the Bible. Is this a reference to the four races of extraterrestrials who have been harassing humanity? We have been told that these predictions can be averted if enough humans turn to Creator and ask for assistance in healing these interlopers. Is this a correct interpretation of this prophecy?”ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Religions565 views0 answers0 votesWhy did the Pleiadians make this categorical channeled statement to Barbara Marciniak: “When you are dealing with the angels, you are dealing with the Anunnaki?” Might she have introduced some personal bias?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Religions610 views0 answers0 votesThe Pleiadians also said: “Heaven and Anu are synonymous.” Why this blanket condemnation in linking heaven with the leader of the alien Anunnaki race who are subjugating us?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Religions548 views0 answers0 votesThe Pleiadians also said that Anu is from a Reptilian ancestor named Allalu, and noted the similarity to the name Allah, again, implying a sinister relationship to religion.

They became middlemen. So when you’re reaching to Jesus or whomever, your reach never gets to God, it goes to this entity.” Is this true?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Religions491 views0 answers0 votesHas channeler Barbara Marciniak been corrupted to be saying these things?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Religions537 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “The Pleiadians, channeled by Barbara Marciniak, claimed that all religions were developed by the Anunnaki as forms of mind control, and control of human behaviors.

If this is true how we can avoid this at the time of death?” What can we tell her?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Religions829 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “The Pleiadians, channeled by Barbara Marciniak, said what is even more scary is that they may come on Earth again trying to control the masses through a personification of Jesus as his second coming and people will follow them blindly not questioning the increase of more and more control. Is this all true? What can we do as Christians to not fall in this false coming?”ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Religions530 views0 answers0 votesIs there any value in the average person purchasing a bottle of holy water through Amazon and using it?ClosedNicola asked 5 years ago • Religions560 views0 answers0 votes
