Zimbardo characterized the Milgram Studies as “Creating Evil Traps for Good People.” Zimbardo extracted ten methods for this: 1. Create a contractual obligation. 2. Give a positive role or title like “teacher.” 3. Present basic rules that “must” be followed – even if vague. 4. Spin the agenda as “positive” – bad-tasting mouthwash “kills germs.” 5. Insist the authority is fully responsible for everything that happens. 6. Start with small acts of evil and work up from there. 7. Keep the amplification of evil so gradual as to hardly be noticeable. 8. Gradually change the nature of the authority from “just” to “unjust” and demanding and even irrational. 9. Make the exit costs high while allowing verbal dissent. And 10. Offer a “big lie” to justify everything. This is clearly a diabolically effective “stacked deck” that Milgram demonstrated works 90% of the time. What is Creator’s perspective?

Zimbardo wrote, “This potential for authority figures to exercise power over subordinates can have disastrous consequences in many domains of life. … Such authority can lead to flight errors when the crew feels forced to accept the “authority’s definition of the situation, even when the authority is wrong.” An investigation of thirty-seven serious plane accidents where there was sufficient data from voice recorders revealed that in 81 percent of these cases, the first officer did not properly monitor or challenge the captain when he made errors. … We may conclude that excessive obedience may cause as many as 25% of all airplane accidents.” What is Creator’s perspective?

Zimbardo wrote about “the strip search scam.” A con man calls an assistant manager at a fast-food restaurant and claims he is a police officer calling about a theft by an attractive new employee. 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?

Zimbardo 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?

Zimbardo 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?

Zimbardo 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?

Zimbardo 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?

The phenomenon of Stockholm syndrome, the remarkable growth in acceptance and even strong affection and loyalty to one’s captors by kidnap victims, has been well-validated and studied closely by psychologists. Is that truly a human vulnerability, perhaps as a coping mechanism, or is it, when it happens, universally a consequence of covert mind control manipulation taking place from behind the scenes to increase the vulnerability and control of abduction victims?

A viewer asks: “Dear Creator, I would like to ask what it is that makes some children so prone to dismantle and literally destroy all kinds of items at their disposal, or the constant fiddling with things until they break; like digging random holes in the ground, break toys, gardening tools, or plant pots, remove every limb of a doll or figure, etc., and all this without any full understanding of what impulses them to do this in the first place?” What can Creator tell us?

A viewer asks: “Please help me better understand the healing of emotional expression and regulation in intimate relationships. Some therapies sift through childhood experiences to find reasons why people respond the way they do. Others argue that each person’s actions spark reactions in the other. In this case, the dynamics between partners becomes the focus of healing, not the individual alone. Is it better to work on healing emotions with another, where negative emotions are calmed and we find our balance? Or is it cellular consciousness, that can become a part of the personality through its influence on the makeup of a person, that should be the focus of healing? How can these approaches be optimized?” What is Creator’s perspective?

A viewer asks: “I don’t really know why my son struggles with some of the same things throughout life. Maybe he needs therapy. He is so sensitive sometimes. He thinks people are annoyed with him, or others in our family, when it isn’t the case. Even if it were true, why does he let that bother him so much? Not sure how he can overcome this.” What is Creator’s perspective?

A viewer asks: “Communication breakdowns cause hurt in many walks of life. The type of verbal communication with a spouse, for example, can significantly affect the kind of relationship that will exist between them. Criticisms, defensiveness, silence, and feeling misunderstood are just a few signs of communication problems in a relationship. Common psychological advice includes active listening, being empathetic, seeking to understand rather than win, etc. While these strategies can be helpful to some, their success depends on each partner’s willingness to engage, adapt, and learn to apply them consistently. What is Creator’s advice on this type of advice? Is it naïve? What’s a better approach?” What is Creator’s perspective?
