We are far from it, especially in our early stages of life in the spirit world. We have our spiritual bodies and we live in them, using them just as we used our physical bodies on Earth, but not having to be slaves to them.” James continues: “In order for you to not find this overpoweringly confusing that you are unable to cope, you are permitted by the system to live in your spiritual body in similar conditions to those you previously knew and felt comfortable with, in such close proximity to Earth that you can continue to feel at home in your new environment.” James continues: “We have always thought that if we lived at all after death, we would have to be entirely transformed immediately. We expected, if anything at all, a change of conditions so vast as to put us into an altogether different circumstance. When this does not occur, we are confused and find it difficult to accept. I must make it clear now that this transition is gradual for a very definite reason. Supreme Intelligence planned it that way as the most sensible and workable arrangement for man’s advancement.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 months ago • Human Lost Soul Spirits78 views0 answers0 votesJames continues: “The expectation of an abrupt alteration into some amorphous spiritual state entirely different from anything they have ever known frequently makes people unable to understand what has happened to them when death occurs. … For one who was sure that death was the end of all existence, it is an even greater surprise to find himself still living while at the same time he can see his own body on the bed beside him, or in a car at the scene of a fatal accident, or wherever he died. There are many occasions where such a person refused to believe what has happened and decided that he is merely having a bad dream. It is possible for such a one to be in this confusion for a long time until he is finally made to realize that he has actually passed from the physical life into the spiritual.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 months ago • Human Lost Soul Spirits69 views0 answers0 votesJames gives us an interesting example to examine: “Picture, if you will, the situation of one whom we will call John Jones because that is not his real name. John Jones lived a sordid life. His main interests were the attainment of money and the spending of it on himself. He was not always honest, although he could hardly be called a criminal type. He was successful in his business dealings and at the time of his death was a wealthy man. He was also an uninformed man who did not believe in anything except the power of money and his ability to make it. … His relatives who had died had long ago given him up as one they could not influence for the better, and so they made no effort to stay with him and help him (as spirit guides and guardians). When this man died suddenly of a heart attack, no one was there to receive him. I (the deceased/spirit James) heard of his death, and, having known him briefly in life, I decided to try and make his entry into the new phase of his existence as comfortable as possible. I went to greet him. … I walked up to him and he saw me and gave me a perfunctory greeting. Then he lost interest in me immediately. He was puzzled because that body on the bed looked like him, yet he was standing there feeling better than he had in years, if a bit hazy of mind because of his abrupt demise. I told him he’d had a sudden heart attack and died. He paid absolutely no attention. I repeated this several times, but he did not listen. Then finally he said, ‘Look friend, I’m having a crazy dream. I know exactly what is going on, so please stop bothering me. I have many business deals to put through in the morning and no time for such silly talk about death.'” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 months ago • Human Lost Soul Spirits66 views0 answers0 votesJames continues with his example of John Jones: “I gave up trying to impress him with the truth of his situation and merely stood by and watched as he went through his days. … Once in a while Jones looked at me and said, ‘This is a really weird dream. I wish I could wake up.’ Even after he had watched his own burial, however, he did not accept the fact he was dead. The day after his funeral Jones went to the stock exchange and stayed, as his wont, watching the rise and fall of stocks as avidly as he had ever done. This went on day after day. I found I could give him no assistance, so I soon left him, sitting in his office at the stock market, attempting to advise his fellow workers even though no one was aware of his presence. I checked back on him from time to time and always found him in this same situation. He told me he was getting bored with this silly dream, but he would not listen when I gave him the truth. Death has to be so different from life that this could not be death, and so he must be dreaming. This is the only explanation he would consider. If we multiply John Jones’ experience by the thousands and even millions who so live that their interests are entirely earthly and in no way spiritual, you will see that the sphere immediately after death is burdened with those who should be learning and progressing but instead are tied to the lives they formerly led.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 months ago • Human Lost Soul Spirits74 views0 answers0 votesJames continues with his example of John Jones: “If anyone were to have told Jones’ former partners and business associates that they were now being influenced by Jones from the spirit world, they would laugh scornfully. They were sure their hunches and their knowledge of their professions were sufficient to account for their every instinctive move of buying and selling. Yet the fact that John Jones watched over their shoulders and frequently (if inaudibly) shouted, ‘Buy, buy, now’s the time,’ or, ‘Sell, don’t be caught in the decline that’s coming,’ probably influenced many a deal. Jones may not have known any more of the situation than the man he was influencing, and his advice may or may not have been correct, but his interest and his strongly projected thoughts penetrated the minds of his associates, whether or not they were aware of it.” What are the karmic implications of Jones’ post-death behavior? And if a former associate had spiritual protection against such interference from the earthbound dead like Jones, how would that have appeared to Jones? Or would such protection be invisible to Jones as well, given the non-spiritually progressive state he was in? What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 3 months ago • Human Lost Soul Spirits85 views0 answers0 votesJames continues with his example of John Jones: “So you can see that spirit influence can be very harmful on occasion (James calls this “spirit obsession” as opposed to “spirit possession”). It is unfortunate that those who die in an unenlightened state are most likely to attempt to exert their influence, negative as it is. Those still on Earth who are receptive to them may, therefore, be led by them into wrong or inadvisable deeds. The humans who are influenced have no idea they are being coerced from another world when they make mistakes by following what they think is their own intuition. … Wars, you must know, do not kill a man; they only change him into an invisible enemy. Capital punishment does not get rid of a criminal, it only unleashes him in an unseen form to prey on the world in an even more harmful way.” James continues: “Being earthbound is the worst possible thing that can happen to one. It is truly a condition of hell and is so tragic that much effort is being spent from my side (the spirit world) to get the word to those on Earth who are in danger of dying without any awareness of their spiritual nature.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 months ago • Human Lost Soul Spirits83 views0 answers0 votesJames continues: “Had someone been praying for John Jones, there is the possibility that he might have begun sooner to realize that he was in the spirit world. As it turned out, it was not until all his business associates had died, one by one, and he had gone to their funerals and then found them greeting him after their transitions, that he finally accepted the fact of his death. Then it was a long time before he began to do anything about improving his lot.” Can Creator tell us how Empowered Prayer, and more specifically the Lightworker Healing Protocol and Deep Subconscious Mind Reset, would have hastened John Jones’ spiritual awakening and ignited a desire for self-improvement and progression, which appears to be a needed quality on the part of the deceased to enter “the light” or spheres of higher vibration as James would characterize them? It doesn’t appear Jones had a problem “seeing the light callers,” as wasn’t James himself playing the role of light caller? What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 3 months ago • Human Lost Soul Spirits82 views0 answers0 votesJames wrote through Susy Smith: “Closed minds, no matter whether closed on the subject of the physical resurrection of the body, heaven, hell, nirvana, or oblivion, will get one nowhere in the spirit world. It is best to die prepared for the challenging new experiences, and then whatever comes will be accepted with equanimity.” Can Creator tell us how Empowered Prayer, the Lightworker Healing Protocol, Deep Subconscious Mind Reset, and Divine Life Support are the best means by which we can ensure our own spiritual preparation for our own inevitable transition?ClosedNicola asked 3 months ago • Human Lost Soul Spirits97 views0 answers0 votesShe asks: “Is it ironically a belief serving the darkness when churchgoers claim that demons aren’t allowed to set foot in their church, or themselves, because they have been “saved?” Because it prevents the potential to pray deliverance of demons from people in church regularly as Jesus would do.” What can we tell her?ClosedNicola asked 3 months ago • Spirit Meddlers112 views0 answers0 votesA practitioner asks: “Will we be able to live with less dependence on technology and screen-based devices after the interloper withdrawal? Or will we have to put up with a high-tech society until Ascension?” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 8 months ago • Human Potential349 views0 answers0 votesThe authenticity of the Shroud of Turin, believed to have been the burial shroud wrapped around the body of Jesus Christ, was tested again recently by yet another novel method to date its age. The results were consistent with four other approaches used over the years showing the cloth did date from 2000 years ago. A radiocarbon dating done in the 1988 which placed the age of the Shroud to be between the years 1260-1390, has since been questioned because the piece of the Shroud examined was from an edge containing a patch interwoven to repair damage from a fire at the cathedral where the shroud was being stored during those years. It seems remarkable that a repeat radiocarbon dating has not been done given the strong evidence calling the first result into question. What is the divine truth about this holy relic and its handling?ClosedNicola asked 9 months ago • Religions245 views0 answers0 votesThemistocles (thuh·mist-uh·kleez) said: “I have with me two gods, Persuasion and Compulsion.” Jenny Mollen said, “I think the power of persuasion would be the greatest superpower of all time.” Aesop said, “Persuasion is often more effectual than force.” And James Altucher (All-tuh-chur) said, “Most people don’t have the power of persuasion.” Does this explain why so many turn to compulsion instead? What is Creator’s perspective on persuasion versus coercion, and persuasion as a superpower?ClosedNicola asked 12 months ago • Limiting Beliefs735 views0 answers0 votesHow much of the power of persuasion is a product of divinely bestowed soul attributes, versus a learned skill that one acquires through trial and error over many lifetimes? If a learned skill, how is that skill transferred from lifetime to lifetime? Is it recorded in the akashic records and made part of cellular memory during the fetus’s formation? Or is it something wholly spiritual in nature, retained by the spirit itself, and if one learns the power of persuasion while incarnated, are their newly discovered persuasive powers on display in the light between lives as genuine learning? What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 12 months ago • Limiting Beliefs388 views0 answers0 votesPersuasion is the power to effect CHANGE or perhaps prevent change. And even though there is a distinction made between persuasion and compulsion, the threat of compulsion can, in and of itself, be HIGHLY persuasive. The iconic fire and brimstone sermons delivered with great theatrics by eloquent ministers comes to mind. A “fear monger” or one who “peddles fear” also comes to mind. What is Creator’s perspective of persuasion AS compulsion?ClosedNicola asked 12 months ago • Limiting Beliefs431 views0 answers0 votesIt’s interesting to note that the iconic “snake oil salesman” never had a storefront, like a pharmacy, but instead pulled into the town square with his wagon and hawked his magical products directly to the crowds, and then often “hightailed it” to the next town before the truth of his products became more widely known. Google defined snake oil salesmen as those who deceived people in order to get money from them. The successful ones were highly persuasive people. When one has such ability, it seems so puzzling that such a person could not find a “legitimate” avenue in which to practice those skills and be successful without all the ignominy. Good salespeople are in demand everywhere and for everything—why resort to fraud? What can Creator tell us about exploiting the masterful use of persuasion to willfully engage in fraud?ClosedNicola asked 12 months ago • Limiting Beliefs377 views0 answers0 votes
