It is heavily depicted to be connected to pride, and this is evident based on Dante’s organization of Hell.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 1 year ago • Human Corruption134 views0 answers0 votesMarilyn Monroe said: “Success makes so many people hate you. I wish it wasn’t that way. It would be wonderful to enjoy success without seeing envy in the eyes of those around you.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 1 year ago • Human Corruption190 views0 answers0 votesOliver Stone said: “Never underestimate the power of jealousy and the power of envy to destroy. Never underestimate that.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 1 year ago • Human Corruption124 views0 answers0 votesVictor Hugo said: “The wicked envy and hate; it is their way of admiring.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 1 year ago • Human Corruption130 views0 answers0 votesTheodore Roosevelt said: “Probably the greatest harm done by vast wealth is the harm that we of moderate means do ourselves when we let the vices of envy and hatred enter deep into our own natures.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 1 year ago • Human Corruption99 views0 answers0 votesErich Fromm said: “There is perhaps no phenomenon which contains so much destructive feeling as moral indignation, which permits envy or hate to be acted out under the guise of virtue.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 1 year ago • Human Corruption124 views0 answers0 votesIn last week’s Get Wisdom LIVE, Creator said, “The falling out in heaven, of the angelics working with Lucifer, began with envy of those with greater authority and a greater measure of control and influence on things, perceived as “a greater level of status,” and that envy fueled the ego and resulted in conduct that was out of alignment, and grew in frequency and intensity, causing those angels to experience a greater and greater deviation from the ideal divine alignment they had enjoyed.” If it’s based on a belief that others are unfairly blocking you from success, I can see how that can be pretty problematic for eternal beings with continuous unbroken consciousness. “That darn Archangel Michael is always two steps ahead of me, and apparently it will be that way FOREVER.” Is envy the ice on the slippery slope? Is it the most corrosive and dangerous indulgence? What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 1 year ago • Human Corruption128 views0 answers0 votesIf envy is the most dangerous of mental and spiritual indulgences, does this mean it is the most difficult affliction to heal? Can Creator share with us how Empowered Prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol are the most effective means to assist the jealous and envious to eventually find a new and more divine perspective?ClosedNicola asked 1 year ago • Human Corruption134 views0 answers0 votesDale Carnegie wrote the multi-million bestseller, How to Win Friends and Influence People. Advocates would say that Carnegie taught a method of manipulating people that created “win-win” scenarios, where both the manipulated and manipulators benefited. The detractors would say Carnegie’s methods can be used to screw people. Any kind of indirect manipulation is problematic, as it arguably violates free will, especially if used to encourage “uninformed” decisions. Hypnotist and Researcher Dick Sutphen wrote of Carnegie in his book, Radical Spirituality, “The Carnegie Course teaches you to say what will work to get what you want. Isn’t that being phony or a hypocrite? Forget sincerity, forget honesty. Forget being real. Carnegie teaches you to be a diplomat and wear a mask. Masks are the fear that who and what you are isn’t adequate, so you pretend to be somebody else.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divine Guidance152 views0 answers0 votesSutphen, additionally, said this about Carnegie techniques, “If you use Carnegie techniques to win friends, the friendship has to be based upon a two-way manipulation. You pretend to be the mask to attain friendship and they will be your friend as long as you wear it. What happens when your mask slips and they find out who you really are? Do you need any relationship or association so badly that you’re willing to repress your real self in order to attain it?” Many would answer YES – they have a mortgage to pay, and must wear the mask in order to stay employed. Sutphen was an independent businessman and had more freedom in that regard.

His wife never learned of it and was still ignorant of it when he sought Frankl’s advice. Dr. Frankl implored him NOT to tell her. His reason for doing so was because he believed that the man truly loved his wife and had no desire to traumatize her. Based on what he knew of the man’s wife, he was convinced that there was little to no chance of the wife receiving the news without drawing the false conclusion that he did not love her, and consequently would not be able to forgive him. So he attempted to coach the man, that telling her the truth, would be akin to lying, for it would encourage her to believe a lie—that her husband did not ever love her. The man ignored Frankl’s advice, and the result was an ugly divorce with both parties deeply emotionally traumatized. Was Frankl right?

Number 50 was, “Refuse to make choice based upon the expectations of others. Instead, act in ways consistent with your purpose.” Out of the 69 reminders, this one, if followed uncritically, could cause a great deal of trouble for a person in this world. Sometimes, not telling someone, like an authority figure, what they want or expect to hear, could be quite problematic.

Yet, in the realm of remote healing, it is possible to heal or attempt to heal someone without their knowledge, which would render moot any notion of their consent. Isn’t that dishonest? Can Creator tell us if Empowered Prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol are exempt from that concern, and if so, why?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divine Guidance168 views0 answers0 votesJames Bond is a fictional character created by Ian Fleming and the hero of numerous books and movies. The Bond character is hugely popular with a cult following that spans decades, appealing to all generations. Yet in spite of all the hoopla, Bond comes across as an extreme loner that most would not want to call “friend.” Self-absorbed, here today, gone tomorrow, as likely to seduce your wife as show up for a golf date on time. Yet, he is portrayed as some kind of role model. Why is such a rogue an appealing and entertaining character?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Karma269 views0 answers0 votes
