But modern psychology sees the self as constructed, context-sensitive, and changeable. Some philosophers and New Age advocates also claim we can choose who we become. We seem to have part of us that defines an “automatic experience of reality” that decides what becomes “real” for us but we also seem to have a capacity to choose a new “intentional reality” as a story we choose and create by changing how we interpret things via our beliefs and biases. Can Creator give a brief tutorial to explain this dilemma to help us intentionally create better versions of ourselves?” What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 1 week ago • Divine Guidance48 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “Richard J. Davidson, author of “The Emotional Life of Your Brain”, says understanding the brain increases agency over emotional reactions. He claims you can train the brain to respond differently to challenges and that with the right mental exercises, and habits, it’s possible to reshape neural pathways, enhance resilience, attention, and overall emotional well-being. For example, he claims that naming an emotion activates the prefrontal cortex, which helps regulate the brain’s fear-and-stress center. He says the prefrontal cortex can also regulate other emotion-generating regions (amygdala, insula, hippocampus). How effective are these suggestions in gaining agency over emotional reaction?”ClosedNicola asked 1 week ago • Divine Guidance29 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “The classical view of emotions is they “happen to you” – regulation means managing reactions after they occur (e.g., calming down when angry). Lisa Feldman Barrett’s Theory of Constructed Emotion however argues that emotions are constructed (based on context, past learning, and bodily input) rather than hardwired biological and universal responses. If correct, practices like increasing body awareness, expanding emotional vocabulary, and reframing experiences can change the way we build emotions in real time. How well can this framework be used to turn emotional reactions into something we can consciously shape, meaning we have agency over how we feel, rather than just endure?”ClosedNicola asked 1 week ago • Divine Guidance28 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “It’s very painful to hear my son scream but it seems to be the only thing that helps him receive any kind of feedback from us. I was guided by my friends at my church that they regretted not spanking their children. And the Bible quotes about sparing the rod. Are we in divine alignment spanking our son when he does make improvement from this? But it also sounds like an exorcism because of the way he has been programmed by the darkness.” What can we tell her?ClosedNicola asked 12 months ago • Divine Guidance305 views0 answers0 votesA practitioner asks: “Creator has often mentioned moral principles for living and these have historically been presented in major religions, passed on in societies, and are represented again in GetWisdom. However, some say that moral understanding is not best absorbed from authority figures but constructed through personal experiences, interactions, and reflections. Individuals integrate new moral insights with their existing moral beliefs to form a coherent moral perspective. To what extent is it through reflection that individuals assess the consequences of their actions, reconsider their moral principles, and adjust their behavior accordingly? How can LHP practitioners best grow their moral perspectives?” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 1 year ago • Subconscious Mind414 views0 answers0 votesA practitioner asks: “Many people have behaviors that are unhelpful at best or harmful to themselves or others. People generally know this about themselves but do not make changes. Despite many models of behavior change developed by researchers from psychology, sociology, public health, etc., reflecting a broad range of approaches to understanding and influencing behavior, their effectiveness is often limited and short-lived. What can be learned from these shortcomings and limitations? What is a better perspective and tactics for deeper and more permanent change in, for example, alcohol consumption, exercise, and healthy eating? Would making specific requests targeted at specific behaviors in LHP-DSMR requests be best?” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 1 year ago • Subconscious Mind335 views0 answers0 votesA practitioner asks: “How much does action now, influence a person’s path and shape their future? How much does this vary between people? What is the highest view?”ClosedNicola asked 1 year ago • Divine Guidance393 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “Creator has previously shared the Ten Divine Principles for Living, suggesting there is an objective morality independent of human thinking which people can become more aware of by studying sacred texts or communicating with Creator. Human secular philosophy has also developed theories on how things should or ought to be based on mainly three perspectives. The first perspective from human secular philosophy is based on rules, duties, and obligations.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 1 year ago • Divine Guidance301 views0 answers0 votesHe continues: “The second perspective from human secular philosophy is based on happiest outcomes for the greatest number.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 1 year ago • Divine Guidance301 views0 answers0 votesHe continues: “The third perspective from human secular philosophy is based on what kind of person one should be and how one should live.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 1 year ago • Divine Guidance289 views0 answers0 votesHe continues: “To what extent are the Divine and Human perspectives irreconcilable?” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 1 year ago • Divine Guidance320 views0 answers0 votesHe continues: “Is the human philosophy of morality simply misconceived?

He becomes overwhelmed at job interviews, has had minimal romantic relationships, and shows no signs of being able to support himself or contribute to the running of the home. He becomes ill or angry when challenged about any of this and spends a lot of time watching TV in his room, on his phone, or gaming. To what extent are these difficulties karmically created, character traits that need development, or signs of mental illness that needs medical intervention?” What can we tell him?ClosedNicola asked 1 year ago • Divine Guidance309 views0 answers0 votesHe asks: “This tension is creating some tension with my wife and I am unsure of how best to support him while not eroding my marriage.
