Many who strive not to be, do so because they earlier failed in their attempts to be and appear normal. For some, being normal is relatively easy, for others it’s a struggle, and for a few, impossible. For some, appearing normal is a major accomplishment, and for others, a necessary nuisance. People are habitual creatures. Norms should reflect successful behavior patterns that stand the test of time. But when “accepted norms” change rapidly, that should be a clue that something is wrong.

She was trying to convince him that the mainstream media often told lies and created fictional narratives designed to manipulate people into acting and believing things they would not do or believe ordinarily. His response was “if we can’t trust the mainstream media, who can we trust?” Being a highly successful and duly rewarded public figure, he had a lot to lose if he challenged the narrative.

If one simply strives to be normal, one will automatically and simultaneously be considered to be a good person. And to challenge a person’s normality is to simultaneously challenge their goodness. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 1 year ago • Limiting Beliefs108 views0 answers0 votesWhat does Creator think of the idea of root beliefs representing beliefs that create the very foundations of a person’s personal worldview? Such a root belief would be “normal is good.” And from this one belief, an entire superstructure of beliefs about proper behavior, proper ideas, proper appearance, and, most problematic of all, proper politics is manifested. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 1 year ago • Limiting Beliefs103 views0 answers0 votesA root belief is a belief that will be protected at all costs. Even, and especially, in the face of conflicting evidence to the contrary. For instance, if one held the root belief that “democracy is good,” then anything that challenges their notion of democracy is bad. So if a democratically elected leader bends or breaks the rules, but does so to protect democracy, then the behavior is justified. Even if the actions taken are decisively non-democratic.

People have been observed having actual panic attacks if they suddenly realize their cover is blown and they somehow appear, or even RISK appearing, not normal. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 1 year ago • Limiting Beliefs109 views0 answers0 votesA woman known to one of the GetWisdom founders believes fanatically that she is a GOOD person, that she values the good, exudes the good, champions the good, and that her goodness detector is functioning normally at all times. Any suggestion to the contrary is defended to her last breath. Therefore, the politics she embraces is also good, and any opposition is universally bad. She is not dumb, but she engages in a kind of black-and-white, all-or-nothing style of thinking that is nearly impossible to challenge. What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 1 year ago • Limiting Beliefs108 views0 answers0 votesIf one has a simplistic root belief upon which a substantial portion of their self appraisal and worldview is built and supported, is there any escape from that dilemma other than having that root belief utterly shattered? How does this represent a healing need, and how does the divine realm go about healing this dilemma in the gentlest manner possible?ClosedNicola asked 1 year ago • Limiting Beliefs104 views0 answers0 votesDoes lack of sophistication in thinking represent a healing dilemma or a maturation dilemma? How much is rational and logical thinking a skill that can be enhanced, or a limitation? When we consider someone as gifted musically as Mozart, for instance, we don’t consider ourselves sick because we can’t do a fraction of what he could do. What is needed to be Mozart doesn’t appear to be healing, but PRACTICE and a build-up of skill that spans multiple lifetimes and even dimensions. Countless Lightworker Healing Protocol sessions done for me will not turn me into Mozart, or will it?

Can Creator tell us what normal would look like if the interlopers left, and how Empowered Prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol are needed to bring that about?ClosedNicola asked 1 year ago • Limiting Beliefs147 views0 answers0 votesHoffer wrote: “There are many who find a good alibi far more attractive than an achievement. For an achievement does not settle anything permanently. We still have to prove our worth anew each day: we have to prove we are as good today as we were yesterday. But when we have a valid alibi for not achieving anything we are fixed, so to speak, for life. Moreover, when we have an alibi for not writing a book, painting a picture, and so on, we have an alibi for not writing the greatest book and not painting the greatest picture. Small wonder that the effort expended and the punishment endured in obtaining a good alibi often exceed the effort and grief requisite for the attainment of a most marked achievement.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs178 views0 answers0 votesHoffer wrote: “The impulse of power is to turn every variable into a constant.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs213 views0 answers0 votesHoffer wrote: “It is clear that a society in the grip of fear, is not free no matter how numerous the freedoms its constitution guarantees. There are already many people in this country (America) who would surrender certain of their civil rights for a feeling of personal security.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs198 views0 answers0 votesHoffer wrote: “There is perhaps no better way of measuring the natural endowment of a soul, than by its ability to transmute dissatisfaction into a creative impulse. The genuine artist is as much dissatisfied as the revolutionary. Yet how diametrically opposed are the products each distills from his dissatisfaction.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs184 views0 answers0 votesHoffer wrote: “The genuine creator creates something that has a life of its own, something that can exist and function without him … With the noncreative it is the other way around: in whatever they do, they arrange things so that they themselves become indispensable.” How can Empowered Prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol help to transform us into “genuine creators” rather than fearful controllers?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs185 views0 answers0 votes
