A viewer asks: “I have a female family member who has a deeply antagonistic attitude towards men. She constantly berates men and insults masculinity, even in the presence of others, including her own son. She also constantly rails against “white people,” accusing them of racism and harming other peoples, and seems oblivious to the hypocrisy of her own extremely suspicious and prejudiced stance. She does not stop and seems stuck in a loop. What is the cause of her mindset? Why does she resent men? And why does she resent “white people?” Will she have karmic repercussions if she continues like this?” What is Creator’s perspective?

Ignorance about many things is widespread. But one of the hallmarks of intelligent species is the ability to “problem-solve” based on common experience. Yet we see this shockingly absent with the Floyd tragedy, where the most extreme worst-case motives are assigned to the police, while the suspect is lionized as a scion of virtue. Both outlooks should be instantly rejected, based on common experience alone, even in the absence of circumstantial knowledge; yet, we see hordes of people, who should know better, subscribing to these outlooks as if they were self-evident and beyond dispute. How is this even possible?

Given the prevalence of crime in most communities, and the fact that the Washington Post reports only 15 unarmed African Americans were killed by police last year while carrying out over one million arrests, how can ANYONE, seriously think that defunding and eliminating the police is a good idea? What is the divine perspective?

We’ve been told repeatedly that logic will rarely overturn belief, and there is no shortage of personal and collective evidence that this is quite true. Yet on rare occasions, there is enough success to keep people from giving up on making logical arguments altogether. Why does the deep subconscious find an “implanted” belief so compelling that it will fight tooth and nail against logical presentations presented to the conscious self that utterly undermine it?

On those rare occasions where logic changes minds, why does THAT happen?

More startling, in London thousands of people turned out “cheek by jowl” to protest the death of African American George Floyd while under police restraint. Not only are they turning out to protest an event 4000 miles away in a different country, with different rules, different histories, and different cultures, but they are ostensibly doing it at grave personal risk given the ongoing problem of COVID-19. How can anyone possibly think showing up for such a protest in a massive crowd where they are essentially an anonymous member, is a worthwhile use of their time and energy, especially considering the individual and collective risks presented by the ongoing pandemic?

We’ve been told that the overwhelming turnout at President Trump’s rallies, is largely due to mind control manipulation. Now we are seeing a similar response in attendance for George Floyd protests. Yet, people just cannot see the inherent lack of logical explanation for both these phenomena. Can Creator provide the missing explanation?

Everybody has heard the term “Two wrongs don’t make a right.” And if you were to ask everybody, the overwhelming majority would agree with that statement. Yet, when it comes to the ongoing violence accompanying protests of George Floyd’s death, critics are shouted down by many of these very same people who inexplicably not only seem to think there is something noble, virtuous, or at least compensatory in allowing the violence to take place and persist, these same people will go even further and attempt to silence critics of this very same violence as if two wrongs DO make a right. What is going on here, especially when some of the victims of rioting are black business owners?

Humans, at heart, are a compassionate, generous, caring species, and this is demonstrated on a regular basis. However, we’ve also seen how these traits can be WEAPONIZED and turned against both individuals and society at large. Seeing that the interlopers lack these virtues altogether, they must think such virtues are weaknesses. Is it a source of great delight to use them as weapons as it reaffirms their opinion of the silliness of human virtue?

Protest demonstrations and also riots have broken out all across America following the death of African-American, George Floyd, while in a white policeman’s custody, pinning him to the ground with a knee on his neck for a prolonged period. While some decry this civil unrest as actions of criminals seeing an opportunity to exploit frustration in the black community, others are sympathetic to those who live in a world they see as racist, and understandably may reach a breaking point. What is the divine perspective of the demonstrations, and of the rioting that often follows?

Should those homeless who still reject a rehabilitated institution (or group home or shelter) be allowed to simply live on the street and panhandle?

A would-be good samaritan wants to help the homeless, who truly need assistance. He was not interested in providing money for booze and cigarettes. A woman on the street was shrieking “HELP ME! I’M HUNGRY!” Our would-be good samaritan offered to take her right then and there and buy her a sandwich. She declined and asked for money instead. He said, “no” and repeated his offer. This went back and forth for a couple rounds, but he stuck to his offer and refused to give her money. Suddenly she just “blew up” at him, swearing at him and telling him where to go (in so many words). Who was wrong here? Both of them perhaps?

There was a career panhandler in a big midwestern city that would hold a cup at the same spot every day and say “Help the HomeLESS!” He’d been doing this for years – even decades. A fixture almost as much as the light post he leaned against. Turned out, he wasn’t truly homeless at all, and shared a rather expensive apartment with another career panhandler. When asked about the apparent hypocrisy, he said simply that he rented rather than owned, so he wasn’t really lying. The problem is this individual and his partner help to reinforce the impression that many if not most homeless were not in the dire straits they appear to be in. What is the divine perspective on this type of career?

A man was portrayed on a 60 Minutes television episode back in the 1980s, who would dress like a bum and drive to his favorite spot in his own newer car, park the car out of sight, and work a freeway entrance ramp. He was observed by a reporter to leave the spot every couple of hours to make a call at a payphone. He was approached and asked who he was calling. Turned out it was his stockbroker. He confessed he made approximately $60,000 a year panhandling (in the 1980s when $60,000 was an above-average income) and had a very successful investment portfolio. When challenged, he failed to see any moral dilemma in what he was doing, but in managing a successful stock portfolio, he was clearly capable of performing successfully in a more traditional occupation. What are the karmic implications of that man’s occupational choice?

Those wanting to be good samaritans would decline if they knew they were simply fattening someone’s portfolio and of course most panhandlers are truly homeless and in need of assistance. Yet the desire not to be taken advantage of is strong in most people and presents a genuine moral conflict for many. What advice can Creator give to those wanting to help the truly needy? When one gives to a beggar, does the REAL condition of the recipient have any bearing on the good karma earned by the donor?
