There is probably not a child in existence who hasn’t screamed at an adult at least once “let me do it!!!” But of course, adults cannot let children go ahead and do just anything they want without supervision. Too much supervision is stultifying, and too little exposes the vulnerable to enhanced dangers. Can Creator share any rules of thumb that will help supervisors intervene only when necessary and with maximum divine balance and wisdom?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma533 views0 answers0 votesIn Texas a few years ago, a young man who had learned a few tentative Aikido moves (a martial art), found himself in a convenience store just as it was being robbed. Rather than stay out of it, he intervened and used his fledgling skills to execute a shihonage (she-ho-nah-gay) move. The result was the robber fell backwards having lost all balance and cracked his skull on the tile floor, dying moments later. Can Creator comment on the karmic consequences of his decision, and whether the divine considers his actions intervention or interference?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma395 views0 answers0 votesA massively popular recording artist witnessed the drowning of a friend as a child. An older teenager was there as well, and this person just stood there and watched, and did nothing beyond saying “hold on.” The artist came to blame this person for the drowning death of his friend because he chose not to intervene. Decades later, the recording artist wrote a song recounting the event, invited the now much older adult but then-teenager to the song’s premiere in front of an audience of thousands, seating him in the center front row. He then sang the song that went on to become one of this recording artist’s biggest hits, mocking the man with his own words “hold on.” The man went home and hanged himself as a result of the shaming. What is Creator’s perspective of both the teen’s inaction and the later retribution by the recording artist?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma383 views0 answers0 votesIt’s rare when parents perfectly share the most enlightened approach to raising children. Not only do they have to navigate the relationship with their own child, but often find themselves witnesses to the unhealthy relationships between their child and the other parent. Intervening in these relationships is fraught with all kinds of hazards up to and including divorce and custody battles. When a spouse is confronted with a spouse whose parenting skills leave something to be desired, and are rooted in deeply held beliefs they are in no mood to have questioned, yet clearly are problematic and perhaps even damaging to the children, what is Creator’s advice for a parent simply wanting the best outcome for all involved?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma416 views0 answers0 votesAsking a stranger or acquaintance out on a date is arguably a form of “uninvited intervention” bordering on interference. Yet, for much of history, men were encouraged to pursue this “outreach” and women were encouraged, and even coached, to be tolerant, even to an extreme at times. That is all changing now with today’s young people. Even approaching the opposite extreme of considering even a single humble proposition, a form of “violent assault.” Can Creator comment?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma389 views0 answers0 votesThere is a story of a seeker who approached a guru asking to take up advanced spiritual training with enlightenment as the goal. The guru said, “we must first test your readiness.” The guru then handed the applicant three humungous baked potatoes and instructed him to eat them right away. The problem was, the applicant, anticipating a life devoid of luxuries, had just come from a goodbye feast where he had already stuffed himself to the brim. Alone, staring at the potatoes and knowing he could not possibly eat them in the time expected, saw a homeless man off in the distance. He approached the homeless man and offered him the biggest potato. The homeless man accepted, and the applicant then choked down the other two. Returning to the guru, the guru asked if he had indeed consumed all three potatoes. The applicant hesitated for a moment and then confessed what he had done with the biggest potato. He then challenged the guru about the virtue of charity, and does that not override the demands of the test? The guru responded with the question “Did the homeless man ASK YOU for the potato?” Upon saying “no,” the guru rejected the applicant, and claimed he was not ready for advanced training. What is Creator’s perspective of this story?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma416 views0 answers0 votesThere is a popular notion that one should never give advice unless asked for it. A high school student who worked in a repair garage evenings and weekends was in an auto shop class and instructed to do an oil change with a small group of fellow students. One of the bigger more aggressive students started removing the drain plug. The experienced student suggested that he not pull the plug away but hold it in place until he was sure it was loose, and then pull it away quickly. The intended and very over-confident recipient of this wise advice told the experienced student to “buzz off” in so many words, and then proceeded to cover himself in oil with the other students howling with laughter. What is Creator’s perspective on giving unsolicited advice?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma357 views0 answers0 votesCan Creator share how prayer work and the Lightworker Healing Protocol can help individuals master the “intervene or not to intervene” art of living dilemma, and how such mastery is critical to the survival of humanity?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma365 views0 answers0 votesCould enlightenment be characterized as self-confidence based on truth versus self confidence based on beliefs? The difference being that the enlightened are forever free from the state of cognitive dissonance? What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Human Corruption413 views0 answers0 votesThere is self-confidence about what the self can “do” versus self-confidence about what the self “is” and one’s inherent right to be a legitimate sovereign member of the universe. Is it safe to say that the latter causes more trouble than the former?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Human Corruption393 views0 answers0 votesCan Creator comment on the divine outlook between nurturing and discipline? How does karma utilize those modalities to assist beings in developing true self-confidence?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Human Corruption489 views0 answers0 votesJames Bond is a fictional character created by Ian Fleming and the hero of numerous books and movies. The Bond character is hugely popular with a cult following that spans decades, appealing to all generations. Yet in spite of all the hoopla, Bond comes across as an extreme loner that most would not want to call “friend.” Self-absorbed, here today, gone tomorrow, as likely to seduce your wife as show up for a golf date on time. Yet, he is portrayed as some kind of role model. Why is such a rogue an appealing and entertaining character?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma383 views0 answers0 votesWas Fleming at all divinely inspired to create the character of James Bond, and if so, why? If not, where did his inspiration principally come from?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma415 views0 answers0 votesJames Bond is famous for having a “license to kill,” as if having a license somehow made killing seem okay, and even laudable. It is even rumored that some real-life spy agencies actually require cadets to terminate a target in the field before being admitted to their ranks. Can Creator share what the real-life consequences for the real-life James Bonds are, and the price paid by the soul for this kind of occupation?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma434 views0 answers0 votesSpies are not exactly “turn the other cheek” and “always be honest” types of people. But in a world such as ours, even Creator would recognize the need for important intelligence gathering. When the outcome of events like World War II is almost wholly dependent on accurate information about the enemy, it would seem successful spycraft might indeed benefit greatly from divine intervention. Is this a case where the divine may be responding to the needs of the greater good, while not forgiving any harm inflicted on others by the supported spy in question? In other words, are there negative karmic consequences for the individual spy, even if a greater good is being served?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma441 views0 answers0 votes
