The Reverend Dennis Bennett, an Episcopal charismatic leader who has been in the movement since 1960, and his wife, Rita, give a good instance in their book, The Holy Spirit and You. They tell of a young Christian who had married a Japanese girl while stationed in Japan with the armed forces. Having returned to the United States with his bride, he took her to a Full Gospel Church in Oregon, but she prayed her Buddhist prayers even while he was praying to God through Jesus Christ. ‘Next to them was kneeling a middle-aged woman, a housewife from the community,’ the Bennetts say. This woman began to pray aloud in tongues, and the Japanese bride suddenly seized her husband’s arm. ‘Listen!’ she whispered in excitement. ‘This woman speak to me in Japanese! She say to me: “You have tried Buddha and he does you no good; why don’t you try Jesus Christ?” She does not speak to me in ordinary Japanese language, she speak temple Japanese, and use my whole Japanese name, which no one in this country knows!’ It is not surprising that this young lady became a Christian!” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 4 days ago • Divine Realm22 views0 answers0 votesA practitioner asks about the following prayer: “‘May all beings be peaceful and happy. May all beings be safe and well. May all beings awaken to the light of their true nature. May all beings be free.’ This prayer for loving kindness of the Buddhist tradition appears to help raise those feelings when I repeat it. Is this able to promote my emotions to higher energies of loving kindness? Would it help raise my compassion and intention before doing the LHP?” What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Prayer257 views0 answers0 votesHe asks: “Will addressing Creator directly make this prayer for loving kindness better?

The part that I like the most from Buddha’s teachings and from His Holiness, The Dalai Lama, is that the most powerful weapon is to not attack, to be able to have self-control.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Human Potential333 views0 answers0 votesWho or what was The Buddha, his mission on Earth, and how can Buddhism be reconciled with these channeled messages of the very existence of a Creator, let alone the encouragement of human partnership with Creator, when the Pali scriptures say the Buddha was only concerned about one primary matter, which was/is the complete cessation of freedom from suffering (dukkha) or the unshakeable freedom of mind, and that ultimately the Buddha rejected both theism and the soul theory because they are delusions and objects of attachment?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Human Potential576 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 5 years ago • Religions609 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 5 years ago • Religions639 views0 answers0 votesWas Jesus Christ the prototype of the divine human? What of the other exalted religious figures such as Buddha and Krishna?ClosedNicola asked 5 years ago • Human Potential638 views0 answers0 votesJesus Christ and his mother Mary were both said to have been born “without sin.” Does that really mean, that both chose mission lives, to incarnate for the upliftment of humanity and that being “without sin,” reflects that neither had a karmic backlog of trauma that required healing?ClosedNicola asked 5 years ago • Human Potential514 views0 answers0 votesOf the two, while incarnated here, Jesus had the more public mission than his mother, Mary, where she appears to have had an almost dedicated role of behind the scenes support for his mission. Was that truly the arrangement? Did Jesus require a mother without her own karmic backlog, or was that simply a privilege he had karmically earned in earlier lives, one that would make his anticipated difficult mission life, more tolerable?ClosedNicola asked 5 years ago • Human Potential470 views0 answers0 votesWhen did Jesus fully enter light being mode when incarnated? Was it during his baptism by John the Baptist when he was twelve or was he in that mode fully from birth? Many accounts place him in India during the missing years of his life, between the ages of twelve and thirty. Was he in India during that time?ClosedNicola asked 5 years ago • Human Potential550 views0 answers0 votesDid Jesus have to undergo any kind of esoteric training, as Milarepa did centuries later, in order to recover his light being capabilities?ClosedNicola asked 5 years ago • Human Potential467 views0 answers0 votesWhen we use the Lightworker Healing Protocol, we are asking for divine assistance to heal our clients. Did Jesus also ask for divine assistance when he healed the sick, or because he was fully in light being mode, was he able to manipulate energy directly without assistance from Creator and other divine figures like the archangels?ClosedNicola asked 5 years ago • Human Potential538 views0 answers0 votesWe are told that humanity has a karmic backlog of deep trauma that will take 40 years to heal once the interlopers have left us alone. When that time period is over and assuming we will be successful, will ALL of incarnate humanity then be without sin, like Jesus and Mary when they were born?ClosedNicola asked 5 years ago • Human Potential439 views0 answers0 votes
