Rather than stay out of it, he intervened and used his fledgling skills to execute a shihonage (she-ho-nah-gay) move. The result was the robber fell backwards having lost all balance and cracked his skull on the tile floor, dying moments later. Can Creator comment on the karmic consequences of his decision, and whether the divine considers his actions intervention or interference?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Karma254 views0 answers0 votesA massively popular recording artist witnessed the drowning of a friend as a child. An older teenager was there as well, and this person just stood there and watched, and did nothing beyond saying “hold on.” The artist came to blame this person for the drowning death of his friend because he chose not to intervene. Decades later, the recording artist wrote a song recounting the event, invited the now much older adult but then-teenager to the song’s premiere in front of an audience of thousands, seating him in the center front row. He then sang the song that went on to become one of this recording artist’s biggest hits, mocking the man with his own words “hold on.” The man went home and hanged himself as a result of the shaming. What is Creator’s perspective of both the teen’s inaction and the later retribution by the recording artist?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Karma274 views0 answers0 votesIt’s rare when parents perfectly share the most enlightened approach to raising children. Not only do they have to navigate the relationship with their own child, but often find themselves witnesses to the unhealthy relationships between their child and the other parent. Intervening in these relationships is fraught with all kinds of hazards up to and including divorce and custody battles. When a spouse is confronted with a spouse whose parenting skills leave something to be desired, and are rooted in deeply held beliefs they are in no mood to have questioned, yet clearly are problematic and perhaps even damaging to the children, what is Creator’s advice for a parent simply wanting the best outcome for all involved?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Karma247 views0 answers0 votesAsking a stranger or acquaintance out on a date is arguably a form of “uninvited intervention” bordering on interference. Yet, for much of history, men were encouraged to pursue this “outreach” and women were encouraged, and even coached, to be tolerant, even to an extreme at times. That is all changing now with today’s young people. Even approaching the opposite extreme of considering even a single humble proposition, a form of “violent assault.” Can Creator comment?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Karma240 views0 answers0 votesThere is a story of a seeker who approached a guru asking to take up advanced spiritual training with enlightenment as the goal. The guru said, “we must first test your readiness.” The guru then handed the applicant three humungous baked potatoes and instructed him to eat them right away. The problem was, the applicant, anticipating a life devoid of luxuries, had just come from a goodbye feast where he had already stuffed himself to the brim. Alone, staring at the potatoes and knowing he could not possibly eat them in the time expected, saw a homeless man off in the distance. He approached the homeless man and offered him the biggest potato. The homeless man accepted, and the applicant then choked down the other two. Returning to the guru, the guru asked if he had indeed consumed all three potatoes. The applicant hesitated for a moment and then confessed what he had done with the biggest potato. He then challenged the guru about the virtue of charity, and does that not override the demands of the test? The guru responded with the question “Did the homeless man ASK YOU for the potato?” Upon saying “no,” the guru rejected the applicant, and claimed he was not ready for advanced training. What is Creator’s perspective of this story?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Karma255 views0 answers0 votesThere is a popular notion that one should never give advice unless asked for it. A high school student who worked in a repair garage evenings and weekends was in an auto shop class and instructed to do an oil change with a small group of fellow students. One of the bigger more aggressive students started removing the drain plug. The experienced student suggested that he not pull the plug away but hold it in place until he was sure it was loose, and then pull it away quickly. The intended and very over-confident recipient of this wise advice told the experienced student to “buzz off” in so many words, and then proceeded to cover himself in oil with the other students howling with laughter. What is Creator’s perspective on giving unsolicited advice?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Karma250 views0 answers0 votesCan Creator share how prayer work and the Lightworker Healing Protocol can help individuals master the “intervene or not to intervene” art of living dilemma, and how such mastery is critical to the survival of humanity?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Karma235 views0 answers0 votesIt’s almost certainly an oversimplification, but isn’t self-confidence freedom from anxiety and doubt?

What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Human Corruption310 views0 answers0 votesThere is self-confidence about what the self can “do” versus self-confidence about what the self “is” and one’s inherent right to be a legitimate sovereign member of the universe.

It is clear that there is a widespread belief that the mind is not only vulnerable but fragile. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Human Corruption299 views0 answers0 votesIs there such a thing as a truly “self-confident” evil being, or is evil a crisis deriving from a belief in extreme self-vulnerability?
