Tocqueville said: “He who does anything because it is the custom, makes no choice. 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?

Democracy 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?

In 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?

The 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?

Many 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?

Sheep 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?

The 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?

The 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?

Christ is often referred to as “The Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.” What is meant by that? Seems to be perhaps an imperfect metaphor that conveys some great truths on the one hand, but is also perhaps a corruption and disparagement on the other?

In the Bible, Romans chapter 16, verses 17 to 19, the Apostle Paul says: “I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them. For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people. Everyone has heard about your obedience, so I rejoice because of you; but I want you to be wise about what is good, and innocent about what is evil.” This passage, because it uses the word “appetite” is widely regarded by Biblical scholars as referencing “wolves in sheep’s clothing.” What does it say about the imperative to seek wisdom and overcome naiveté, especially regarding consensus narratives shaped and maintained by politicians, the media, and even the clergy?

The wolf in sheep’s clothing implies the presence and manipulation of the “evil genius,” difficult to not only spot, but just as difficult, if not more so, to warn the fellow sheep about the wolf in their midst, leading them astray. If one only takes things at face value, they will never see beyond the costume and discern the wolf inside. What does the metaphor of the wolf in sheep’s clothing tell us about not trusting the obvious?

In praying for discernment, we are, perhaps sometimes unwittingly, asking to see the unpleasant more than the pleasant, and for help identifying the wolves in sheep’s clothing in our midst. Can Creator share how prayer for discernment and the Lightworker Healing Protocol can help us develop the capacity and the needed strength to both see the wolves in our midst and do something truly effective about them?

A practitioner asks: “As a longtime Buddhist practitioner and now a mindfulness teacher myself, I continue to struggle with trying to make sense of some of the core teachings in Buddhism. One of the three “marks of existence” that all Buddhist practices are centered around understanding through increasingly direct and deep insight/realizations on the path to enlightenment is “no self” or “not self” (annata), which includes that there is no such thing as a permanent, unchanging entity or “soul.” It is said that in his quest for enlightenment, the Buddha looked deeply for the “housebuilder,” the one behind the whole thing, this experience of “I, me, myself,” the doer, and he couldn’t find one, and found instead that all phenomena, including the experience of a fixed entity called a self or soul, were simply the result of interdependent causes and conditions coming together temporarily, including even consciousness itself, which arises temporarily to meet with sensory experiences (which includes the 6th sense of mind) and that this consciousness we experience, too, dies with the body. Of course, there is something that experiences rebirth, as Buddhism was very, very clear on that … Since the goal, enlightenment, involves the ONLY permanent death … The cessation of rebirth. One of my primary teachers stated that what gets reborn is not a “soul,” but our “habits.” I am really hoping that Creator can shed some light on these things, since the teachings of the Buddha are what I resonate with the most, and yet I am also an LHP practitioner and do believe in the divine realm and love the idea of having/being an “immortal soul.” The LHP itself I do see as basically a lovingkindness/compassion/sympathetic joy/equanimity (Divine Abodes) practice, and therefore an extension of Buddhist practice. I accept that especially because the teachings of the Buddha were not written down until hundreds of years after his death that they could have become corrupted, and that given the depth of dark manipulation on Earth they most certainly were. However, this teaching, that there is no soul, that there is no self, is basically THE most important teaching in all of Buddhism. The Suttas (sacred ancient Buddhist texts) quote the Buddha as saying, “Nothing whatsoever is to be taken as I, mine, myself. Whoever has understood this has understood all the teachings.” How are we to make sense of this?”

Were Jesus and Mary both already ascended or enlightened humans who simply returned to pursue a life mission of great importance, and returned to the divine realm in a fashion normal for a fully enlightened human, or were their respective ascensions one time events never before achieved, and never again in need of repetition for those two individuals?

We’ve been told the ascension of greater humanity was an all or nothing event. We all ascend, or none ascend. Why did ascensions of rare individual humans that were exceptions to this reality occur in humanity’s past?
