There is no patience in acquisition or in the pursuit of power and fame. Nothing is so impatient as the pursuit of a substitute for growth.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Limiting Beliefs315 views0 answers0 votesHoffer wrote: “There are many who find a good alibi far more attractive than an achievement. For an achievement does not settle anything permanently. We still have to prove our worth anew each day: we have to prove we are as good today as we were yesterday. But when we have a valid alibi for not achieving anything we are fixed, so to speak, for life. Moreover, when we have an alibi for not writing a book, painting a picture, and so on, we have an alibi for not writing the greatest book and not painting the greatest picture. Small wonder that the effort expended and the punishment endured in obtaining a good alibi often exceed the effort and grief requisite for the attainment of a most marked achievement.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Limiting Beliefs303 views0 answers0 votesHoffer wrote: “The impulse of power is to turn every variable into a constant.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Limiting Beliefs382 views0 answers0 votesHoffer wrote: “It is clear that a society in the grip of fear, is not free no matter how numerous the freedoms its constitution guarantees. There are already many people in this country (America) who would surrender certain of their civil rights for a feeling of personal security.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Limiting Beliefs328 views0 answers0 votesHoffer wrote: “There is perhaps no better way of measuring the natural endowment of a soul, than by its ability to transmute dissatisfaction into a creative impulse. The genuine artist is as much dissatisfied as the revolutionary. Yet how diametrically opposed are the products each distills from his dissatisfaction.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Limiting Beliefs321 views0 answers0 votesHoffer wrote: “The genuine creator creates something that has a life of its own, something that can exist and function without him … With the noncreative it is the other way around: in whatever they do, they arrange things so that they themselves become indispensable.” How can Empowered Prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol help to transform us into “genuine creators” rather than fearful controllers?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Limiting Beliefs338 views0 answers0 votesHintjens suggests that we have an incomplete view of the psychopath. The general assumption is that they are broken people, but he suggests that they are in fact human predators. “Psychopaths hunt other humans. They attack and capture them. They feed on their time, resources, power, and energy. They dispose of the remains. And they move on. Every relationship between a social human and a psychopath follows the same pattern. There seem to be no exceptions, no nice psychopaths. To be a psychopath is to be a predator.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Limiting Beliefs266 views0 answers0 votesHintjens wrote that arranged marriages evolved from the need to safeguard against predators entering the family. He writes, “The rate of arranged marriages will correlate with social status of the pair. The higher their status, the less free choice in marriage. This seems true in all societies. Between societies, the weaker the state, the higher will be the rate of arranged marriages. This is because weak states cannot protect a family’s wealth from predators.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Limiting Beliefs292 views0 answers0 votesAs in most things on Earth, the interlopers try to compromise and introduce dangers in what would otherwise be fun and recreational activities. Can Creator comment on how pastimes like boxing and football came about? These sports have violence built-in, so to speak. A sport like ice hockey and its extreme violence seems excessive and unwarranted, yet many avid followers confess to doing so because they are attracted to the violence and feel short-changed if a game ends without blood and a fistfight. Are these just modern gladiators?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Divine Guidance372 views0 answers0 votesHow can prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol change the world to help us re-order our priorities to seek truly uplifting pursuits and avoid entertaining but potentially damaging pitfalls?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Divine Guidance387 views0 answers0 votesThe vast majority of games, whether tennis or cards, baseball, or monopoly involves determining winners and losers. What is the divine perspective on contests where there are winners and losers? Is there truly such a thing as friendly competition? And do light beings in the divine realm engage in competitive recreational activities?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Divine Guidance395 views0 answers0 votesIt does seem that competitive sports can be a showcase of divine alignment or lack thereof.

What gets an obsession like this going? Do the interlopers encourage this, and how do they benefit from this?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Divine Guidance341 views0 answers0 votesThe advent of television added a whole new kind of recreation to people’s lives, that of passive spectator. It seems obvious, that direct participation would be more immersive and richer in almost every way than being a passive spectator. Nevertheless, someone close to GetWisdom has observed that passive spectating can fill a niche, a void that would otherwise remain unfulfilled. He has derived great satisfaction from watching car restoration shows. As a youth, he often dreamed of doing this for a living, and now as a man approaching sixty, this dream, never considered a serious option for him, nevertheless finds some valid vicarious fulfillment in watching others living his dream.
