Indeed, lying is often how we get through each day in a happy little bubble. We spend time and energy rationalizing our own behaviors, beliefs, and decision-making processes.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Divine Guidance257 views0 answers0 votesDale Carnegie wrote the multi-million bestseller, How to Win Friends and Influence People. Advocates would say that Carnegie taught a method of manipulating people that created “win-win” scenarios, where both the manipulated and manipulators benefited. The detractors would say Carnegie’s methods can be used to screw people. Any kind of indirect manipulation is problematic, as it arguably violates free will, especially if used to encourage “uninformed” decisions. Hypnotist and Researcher Dick Sutphen wrote of Carnegie in his book, Radical Spirituality, “The Carnegie Course teaches you to say what will work to get what you want. Isn’t that being phony or a hypocrite? Forget sincerity, forget honesty. Forget being real. Carnegie teaches you to be a diplomat and wear a mask. Masks are the fear that who and what you are isn’t adequate, so you pretend to be somebody else.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Divine Guidance275 views0 answers0 votesSutphen, additionally, said this about Carnegie techniques, “If you use Carnegie techniques to win friends, the friendship has to be based upon a two-way manipulation. You pretend to be the mask to attain friendship and they will be your friend as long as you wear it. What happens when your mask slips and they find out who you really are? Do you need any relationship or association so badly that you’re willing to repress your real self in order to attain it?” Many would answer YES – they have a mortgage to pay, and must wear the mask in order to stay employed. Sutphen was an independent businessman and had more freedom in that regard.

His wife never learned of it and was still ignorant of it when he sought Frankl’s advice. Dr. Frankl implored him NOT to tell her. His reason for doing so was because he believed that the man truly loved his wife and had no desire to traumatize her. Based on what he knew of the man’s wife, he was convinced that there was little to no chance of the wife receiving the news without drawing the false conclusion that he did not love her, and consequently would not be able to forgive him. So he attempted to coach the man, that telling her the truth, would be akin to lying, for it would encourage her to believe a lie—that her husband did not ever love her. The man ignored Frankl’s advice, and the result was an ugly divorce with both parties deeply emotionally traumatized. Was Frankl right?

Number 50 was, “Refuse to make choice based upon the expectations of others. Instead, act in ways consistent with your purpose.” Out of the 69 reminders, this one, if followed uncritically, could cause a great deal of trouble for a person in this world. Sometimes, not telling someone, like an authority figure, what they want or expect to hear, could be quite problematic.

Yet, in the realm of remote healing, it is possible to heal or attempt to heal someone without their knowledge, which would render moot any notion of their consent. Isn’t that dishonest? Can Creator tell us if Empowered Prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol are exempt from that concern, and if so, why?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Divine Guidance323 views0 answers0 votesHoffer wrote: “When we are conscious of our worthlessness, we naturally expect others to be finer and better than we are. If then we discover any similarity between them and us, we see it as irrefutable evidence of their worthlessness and inferiority. It is thus that with some people familiarity breeds contempt.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Limiting Beliefs302 views0 answers0 votesHoffer wrote: “We associate brittleness and vulnerability with those we love, while we endow those we hate with strength and indestructibility.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Limiting Beliefs285 views0 answers0 votesHoffer wrote: “Patience is a by-product of growth – we can bide our time when it is time for our growth. 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 3 years ago • Limiting Beliefs295 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 3 years ago • Limiting Beliefs284 views0 answers0 votesHoffer wrote: “The impulse of power is to turn every variable into a constant.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Limiting Beliefs364 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 3 years ago • Limiting Beliefs308 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 3 years ago • Limiting Beliefs296 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 3 years ago • Limiting Beliefs320 views0 answers0 votesA practitioner asks: “What about the idea of putting fallen angelics, the spirit meddlers, in a bottle as is done by some workers who remove dark spirit attachments or spirits from locations? Is this a death sentence? Is this ethical to do as a partial solution for saving humanity and the other beings in our galaxy who are preyed on?”ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Spirit Meddlers324 views0 answers0 votes
