The caller gives the option of the accused coming to the station or being “strip searched” by a fellow employee. Gradually, more and more degenerate instructions are given until overt sexual acts between employees take place. These sexual activities continue for several hours while they wait for the police to arrive which, of course, never happens. This scam has been carried out successfully in 68 similar fast-food settings in 32 states. This bizarre authority influence in absentia seduces many people. In the end, store personnel are fired, some are charged with crimes, the store is sued, and the victims are seriously distressed. The perpetrator, a former corrections officer, was finally caught and convicted. Zimbardo wrote, “So let us not underestimate the power of ‘authority’ to generate obedience to an extent and of a kind that is hard to fathom.” An assistant manager interviewed by Zimbardo said, “You look back on it, and you say, ‘I wouldn’t a done it.’ But unless you’re put in that situation, at that time, how do you know what you would do? You don’t.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 months ago • Problems in Society92 views0 answers0 votesZimbardo wrote about an Iowa elementary school teacher who wanted to teach her third-grade class about “brotherhood” and “tolerance.” She began her “lesson” by informing her students that people with blue eyes were superior to those with brown eyes. The previously “friendly blue-eyed kids” refused to play with the “bad brown-eyed kids,” and the blue-eyed kids suggested that school officials should be notified that the brown-eyed kids might steal things. Soon fist-fights erupted during recess. The next day she switched and told the class she was wrong, it was really the brown-eyed kids who were superior. Old friendship patterns between children dissolved and were replaced by hostility until the experimental project was ended. The teacher was amazed at the swift and total transformation of so many of her students whom she thought she knew so well. The teacher said, “What had been marvelously cooperative, thoughtful children became nasty, vicious, discriminating little third-graders … it was ghastly!” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 months ago • Problems in Society175 views0 answers0 votesZimbardo wrote, “The psychologist Ervin Staub (who as a child survived the Nazi occupation of Hungary) concurs that most people under particular circumstances have a capacity for extreme violence and destruction of human life. Staub has come to believe that, “Evil arises out of ordinary thinking and is committed by ordinary people and is the norm, not the exception … Great evil arises out of ordinary psychological processes that evolve, usually with a progression along a continuum of destruction.” He highlights the significance of ordinary people being caught up in situations where they can (gradually) learn to practice evil acts that are demanded by higher-level authorities: “Being part of a system shapes views, rewards adherence to dominant views, and makes deviation psychologically demanding and difficult.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 months ago • Problems in Society157 views0 answers0 votesZimbardo wrote, “From her in-depth analysis of soldiers trained by the Greek military junta to be state-sanctioned torturers, my colleague Greek psychologist Mika Haritos-Fatouros concluded that torturers are not born but made by their training. “Anybody’s son will do” is her answer to the question, “Who will make an effective torturer?” In a matter of a few months, ordinary young men from rural villages became “weaponized” by their training in cruelty to act like brute beasts capable of inflicting the most horrendous acts of humiliation, pain, and suffering on anyone labeled “the enemy,” who, of course, were all citizens of their own country. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 months ago • Problems in Society165 views0 answers0 votesZimbardo wrote, “Reject simple solutions as quick fixes for complex personal and social problems. Traditional analyses by most people, including those in the legal, religious, and medical institutions, focus on the actor as the sole causal agent. Consequently, they minimize or disregard the impact of situational variables and systemic determinants that shape behavioral outcomes and transform actors.” Yet Zimbardo was not fatalistic: “In those studies and many others, while the majority obeyed, conformed, complied, were persuaded, and were seduced, there was ALWAYS A MINORITY WHO RESISTED, DISSENTED, AND DISOBEYED.” Again, we come face to face with a divine-level problem. How can Empowered Prayer, the Lightworker Healing Protocol, Deep Subconscious Mind Reset, and Divine Life Support turn the minority into the majority?ClosedNicola asked 3 months ago • Problems in Society155 views0 answers0 votesA practitioner writes: “Since the latest protocol updates with enhanced cellular memory healing, I have noticed improvements in my jaw tension, sinuses, psoriasis, and even less tension at the hygienist this week!

All covetousness is spiritual. …Any so-called material thing that you want is merely a symbol: you want it not for itself, but because it will content your spirit for the moment.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 4 months ago • Problems in Society183 views0 answers0 votesWilliam Penn wrote: “Covetousness is the greatest of monsters, as well as the root of all evil.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 4 months ago • Problems in Society169 views0 answers0 votesThomas Sprat said: “Covetousness, by a greediness of getting more, deprives itself of the true end of getting; it loses the enjoyment of what it had got.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 4 months ago • Problems in Society180 views0 answers0 votesEpictetus said: “Covetousness like jealousy, when it has taken root, never leaves a person, but with their life.” Actually, that is probably not entirely true as covetousness becomes a karmic dilemma that grows and rebirth brings around again and again the circumstances that trigger covetousness, but with greater intensity and imperative with each go-around.

That insatiable desire prevents present contentment, destroys thankfulness, yes, and keeps the enjoyment of Christ out of the heart…” Can Creator tell us if this is indeed true as opposed to mostly true? Is covetousness truly an INSATIABLE desire—a thirst that can never be quenched? And if it is, how is it that consciousness can fall into such a condition? Is covetousness only a problem with sentient souls, or can lower life forms struggle with this as well?

Can Creator share with us how interlopers, spirit attachments, and even mind control manipulation can aggravate and take advantage of this proclivity, this vulnerability?ClosedNicola asked 4 months ago • Problems in Society144 views0 answers0 votesMartha Stout, PhD, wrote about the problem of “covetous sociopathy” in her book, The Sociopath Next Door. She writes, “The covetous sociopath thinks that life has cheated her somehow, has not given her nearly the same bounty as other people, and so she must even the existential score by robbing people, by secretly causing destruction in other lives. She believes she has been slighted by nature, circumstances, and destiny, and that diminishing other people is her only means of being powerful. Retribution, usually against people who have no idea that they have been targeted, is the most important activity in the covetous sociopath’s life, her highest priority.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 4 months ago • Problems in Society138 views0 answers0 votes
