All these half-tones of the soul’s consciousness create in us a painful landscape, an eternal sunset of what we are.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Human Potential609 views0 answers0 votesA GetWisdom founder recently shared this with a friend: “Happiness is not tied to a location. You take your happiness and unhappiness with you wherever you go. If you can’t find happiness here, you won’t find it there either – or anywhere for that matter.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Human Potential484 views0 answers0 votesAudrey Niffenegger, wrote in her first book, The Time Traveler’s Wife, “Why is love intensified by absence?” What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Human Potential419 views0 answers0 votesThis passage is from a poem by Edna St. Vincent Millay: “Time does not bring relief; you all have lied Who told me time would ease me of my pain! I miss him in the weeping of the rain; I want him at the shrinking of the tide; The old snows melt from every mountain-side, And last year’s leaves are smoke in every lane; But last year’s bitter loving must remain Heaped on my heart, and my old thoughts abide.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Human Potential433 views0 answers0 votesLionel Shriver wrote: “A lot of people get so hung up on what they can’t have that they don’t think for a second about whether they really want it.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Human Potential392 views0 answers0 votesJohn Galsworthy wrote: “It was such a spring day as breathes into a man an ineffable yearning, a painful sweetness, a longing that makes him stand motionless, looking at the leaves or grass, and fling out his arms to embrace he knows not what.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Human Potential389 views0 answers0 votesErik Pevernagie wrote: “If we only see things through the cold-eyed lens of factuality and don’t listen to the yearning and screaming of unexpressed feelings, life may remain bleak in a mire of clinical hollowness, sodden in apathy and indifference.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Human Potential369 views0 answers0 votesLouise Erdrich wrote: “Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and being alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You have to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes too near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself that you tasted as many as you could.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Human Potential420 views0 answers0 votesUnfulfilled, unrequited, and often ineffable soul yearnings can be immensely painful and even debilitating. Can Creator share how Empowered Prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol can be used to clear the obstacles to fulfillment, intimacy, and contentment, by truly equipping the individual with tools they can easily and productively use to remodel and rejuvenate their interior experience?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Human Potential426 views0 answers0 votesToday’s questions are based on dialogue between anthropologist and author Carlos Castaneda and his mentor Don Juan Matus. This dialogue is found in Castaneda’s first book, The Teachings of Don Juan. Don Juan talked about becoming a “man of knowledge.” He said, “A man of knowledge is one who has followed truthfully the hardships of learning.” “A man who has, without rushing or without faltering, gone as far as he can in unraveling the secrets of power and knowledge.” Many people have also said that “knowledge is power.” We have heard that absolute power corrupts absolutely, but is knowledge of power as hazardous as power itself? What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Non-Local Consciousness440 views0 answers0 votesDon Juan told Carlos Castaneda, “When a man starts to learn, he is never clear about his objectives. His purpose is faulty; his intent is vague. He hopes for rewards that will never materialize, for he knows nothing of the hardships of learning.” “He slowly begins to learn – bit by bit at first, then in big chunks. And his thoughts soon clash. What he learns is never what he pictured, or imagined, and so he begins to be afraid. Learning is never what one expects. Every step of learning is a new task, the fear the man is experiencing begins to mount mercilessly, unyieldingly. His purpose becomes a battlefield.” This is truly a dark depiction of learning. Is this principally caused by the interference of the interlopers in the attempts to learn, or is learning itself, the demands of managing consciousness itself, difficult and hazardous? What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Non-Local Consciousness445 views0 answers0 votesDon Juan talks about the first natural enemy on the path to becoming a man of knowledge. “Fear! A terrible enemy—treacherous and difficult to overcome. It remains concealed at every turn of the way, prowling, waiting. And if the man, terrified in its presence, runs away, his enemy (fear) will have put an end to his quest.” Castaneda asks him, “What will happen to the man if he runs away in fear?” Don Juan answers, “Nothing happens to him except that he will never learn. He will never become a man of knowledge. He will perhaps be a bully or a harmless, scared man; at any rate, he will be a defeated man. His first enemy will put an end to his cravings.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Non-Local Consciousness422 views0 answers0 votesCastaneda asks Don Juan, “And what can he do to overcome fear?” Don Juan replies, “The answer is very simple. He must not run away. He must defy his fear, and in spite of it must take the next step in learning, and the next, and the next. He must be fully afraid, and yet he must not stop. That is the rule! And a moment will come when his enemy (fear) retreats. The man begins to feel sure of himself. His intent becomes stronger. Learning is no longer a terrifying task. When this joyful moment comes, the man can say without hesitation that he has defeated his first natural enemy.” Castaneda asks if it happens all at once or little by little? Don Juan says, “It happens little by little, and yet fear is vanquished suddenly and fast.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Non-Local Consciousness367 views0 answers0 votesDon Juan talks about three other enemies to becoming a man of knowledge. But before we explore those, we know the fallen angelics and the billions of members of the Extraterrestrial Alliance are depraved. Sitting Bull said that depravity was a state of mind that is capable of experiencing pleasure only through instigating or vicariously witnessing the suffering of others. There is no other source of pleasure to the depraved mind. Are all depraved beings also fearful, or have some of them conquered fear as Don Juan suggests, the direct question being, “Are there fearless depraved beings?” If there are, that would appear to be a formidable foe indeed. What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Non-Local Consciousness448 views0 answers0 votesDon Juan talks about the next natural enemy to becoming a man of knowledge. “Clarity! That clarity of mind, which is so hard to obtain, dispels fear, but also blinds. It forces the man never to doubt himself. It gives him the assurance he can do anything he pleases, for he sees clearly into everything. And he is courageous because he is clear, and he stops at nothing because he is clear. But all that is a mistake; it is like something incomplete. If the man yields to this make-believe power, he has succumbed to his second enemy and will fumble with learning. He will rush when he should be patient, or he will be patient when he should rush. And he will fumble with learning until he winds up incapable of learning anything more.” This sounds like a kind of arrogance, that the being defeated by clarity is one who thinks himself, falsely, as enlightened—falsely complete. Don Juan says, “He will no longer learn or yearn for anything.” Sounds like a lot of atheists and skeptics! (Which we know the ETs are.) The antithesis of humility.
