Democracy attaches all possible value to each man; socialism makes each man a mere agent, a mere number. Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word: equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude.” What is the divine perspective of this statement?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Extraterrestrial Corruption of Human Institutions276 views0 answers0 votesTocqueville said: “Liberty cannot be established without morality, nor morality without faith.” What is the divine perspective of this statement?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Extraterrestrial Corruption of Human Institutions283 views0 answers0 votesTocqueville said: “What good does it do me, after all, if an ever-watchful authority keeps an eye out to ensure that my pleasures will be tranquil and races ahead of me to ward off all danger, sparing me the need even to think about such things, if that authority, even as it removes the smallest thorns from my path, is also absolute master of my liberty and my life; if it monopolizes vitality and existence to such a degree that when it languishes, everything around it must also languish; when it sleeps, everything must also sleep; and when it dies, everything must also perish?” This sounds a bit like life in the rest of the universe outside of the Milky Way Galaxy. Was Tocqueville discerning the motive for the divine free will experiment?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Extraterrestrial Corruption of Human Institutions267 views0 answers0 votesTocqueville said: “I cannot help fearing that men may reach a point where they look on every new theory as a danger, every innovation as a toilsome trouble, every social advance as a first step toward revolution, and that they may absolutely refuse to move at all.” Tocqueville seems to be seeing the dangers of complacency almost 200 years ago. What is the divine perspective on this statement?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Extraterrestrial Corruption of Human Institutions268 views0 answers0 votesTocqueville said: “It’s not an endlessly expanding list of rights—the right to education, the right to health care, the right to food and housing. That’s not freedom, that’s dependency. Those aren’t rights, those are the rations of slavery—hay and a barn for human cattle.” This comment on the expanding list of rights sounds like a lot of today’s political talking points. Can Creator comment?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Extraterrestrial Corruption of Human Institutions284 views0 answers0 votesTocqueville said: “Men will not accept truth at the hands of their enemies, and truth is seldom offered to them by their friends.” This statement seems to be both an observation on reality, as well as advice on spreading truth.

He gains no practice either in discerning or in desiring what is best. The mental and moral, like the muscular powers, are improved only by being used. The faculties are called into no exercise by doing a thing merely because others do it, no more than by believing a thing only because others believe it.” This seems to be Tocqueville advocating the intentional and focused pursuit of personal wisdom. What is the divine perspective on this statement?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Extraterrestrial Corruption of Human Institutions252 views0 answers0 votesDemocracy is only as noble as the voters. Can Creator share how prayer work and the Lightworker Healing Protocol can heal and elevate the majority to aspire to and vote for solutions that more succinctly benefit “all” rather than simply the majority?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Extraterrestrial Corruption of Human Institutions305 views0 answers0 votesIn the Bible, Matthew chapter 7, verse 15, it says “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.” Can Creator share with us what Christ meant by this statement? “Who” are the wolves in sheep’s clothing? And does the average person even need to think about this seriously?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers353 views0 answers0 votesThe word “sheeple” is bandied about today prodigiously. Most people consider the word an insult. Yet no one thinks rams (male sheep) are pushovers, and more than a few shepherds have been severely injured or even killed by their flock. So this is a baseless notion that sheep are completely passive and defenseless. So when Christ was using the word “sheep” ostensibly in reference to the common people, just what was he attempting to convey?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers301 views0 answers0 votesMany people think sheep are easily led. However, the invention of barbed wire has almost entirely eliminated the need for shepherding and even rendered the sheep dog’s important job to the pages of history. Shepherding sheep is almost certainly more difficult and challenging than modern people think it is. Is there wisdom in thinking that comparing people to sheep two thousand years ago, was a lot less insulting and much more informative than it is today?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers276 views0 answers0 votesSheep flock together for safety and community. Everyone knows there is strength and safety in numbers. The bigger the flock, the safer statistically any individual sheep is, especially if an individual sheep can maintain its position in the center of the flock. Hence the “centrist” which most people consider a wise position to be in. What is Creator’s perspective on being a “centrist” in both life and politics?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers274 views0 answers0 votesThe problem with being a centrist if you are sheep, is that you essentially have no personal freedom. You MUST move with the flock or be trampled. If you travel at the periphery of the flock, you have more freedom but are at a much greater risk of falling prey to predators. It’s also true that no one can lead from the center. You must be at the periphery and in the vanguard to lead. In this troublesome world the desire to exist safely is understandable, but often derided as cowardly. As divine humans sent here to solve the problem of evil, is traveling at the center of the flock and letting others lead, so that one has increased safety from predators, a shirking of duty?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers265 views0 answers0 votesThe contrast between the wolf and the sheep couldn’t be starker. Wolves are predators, sheep are herbivores. Wolves are fierce, and sheep are comparatively gentle and passive. Wolves do travel in packs, but not so tightly as to constrict freedom of independent movement. Yet wolves are SO aggressive and dangerous, that they are not used as symbols of civility and group harmony. When Christ was talking about wolves in sheep’s clothing was he implying that the goal was perhaps to be neither wholly one or the other? Instead, was the calling for us to be SHEPHERDS and not wolves or sheep? To be rather a DIVINE HUMAN rather than a mere animal?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers263 views0 answers0 votes
