Yet part of the reason the story seems believable is precisely that we would expect governments and intelligence services to behave precisely as they did in the story. They would pull out all the stops to destroy such an individual. Is that in fact what would happen if a latter-day divine mission of another Christ-like figure were attempted?ClosedNicola asked 5 years ago • Human Potential724 views0 answers0 votesAn atheist critic of GetWisdom declared that the story of the Anunnaki using humans as slaves to mine for gold is ridiculous, because it would be more logical and productive to use robots. Can you help us understand what actually happened and why? Why did they not use their commanding technological superiority to bypass the need for slave labor?ClosedNicola asked 5 years ago • Human Potential602 views0 answers0 votesWe know a lot of homeless are emotionally and mentally challenged to the point of not being able to hold down a job and make ends meet. Many of these have or would have been institutionalized in years past against their will, and many such institutions were unpleasant and ill-equipped to provide true help. What is the divine perspective on allowing (or forcing) the mentally incapacitated to live on the street and burden society, versus providing for them an institution that can truly help but is likely costly?ClosedNicola asked 5 years ago • Karma496 views0 answers0 votesShould those homeless who still reject a rehabilitated institution (or group home or shelter) be allowed to simply live on the street and panhandle?ClosedNicola asked 5 years ago • Karma492 views0 answers0 votesA would-be good samaritan wants to help the homeless, who truly need assistance. He was not interested in providing money for booze and cigarettes. A woman on the street was shrieking “HELP ME! I’M HUNGRY!” Our would-be good samaritan offered to take her right then and there and buy her a sandwich. She declined and asked for money instead. He said, “no” and repeated his offer. This went back and forth for a couple rounds, but he stuck to his offer and refused to give her money. Suddenly she just “blew up” at him, swearing at him and telling him where to go (in so many words). Who was wrong here? Both of them perhaps?ClosedNicola asked 5 years ago • Karma564 views0 answers0 votesThere was a career panhandler in a big midwestern city that would hold a cup at the same spot every day and say “Help the HomeLESS!” He’d been doing this for years – even decades. A fixture almost as much as the light post he leaned against. Turned out, he wasn’t truly homeless at all, and shared a rather expensive apartment with another career panhandler. When asked about the apparent hypocrisy, he said simply that he rented rather than owned, so he wasn’t really lying. The problem is this individual and his partner help to reinforce the impression that many if not most homeless were not in the dire straits they appear to be in. What is the divine perspective on this type of career?ClosedNicola asked 5 years ago • Karma555 views0 answers0 votesA man was portrayed on a 60 Minutes television episode back in the 1980s, who would dress like a bum and drive to his favorite spot in his own newer car, park the car out of sight, and work a freeway entrance ramp. He was observed by a reporter to leave the spot every couple of hours to make a call at a payphone. He was approached and asked who he was calling. Turned out it was his stockbroker. He confessed he made approximately $60,000 a year panhandling (in the 1980s when $60,000 was an above-average income) and had a very successful investment portfolio. When challenged, he failed to see any moral dilemma in what he was doing, but in managing a successful stock portfolio, he was clearly capable of performing successfully in a more traditional occupation. What are the karmic implications of that man’s occupational choice?ClosedNicola asked 5 years ago • Karma560 views0 answers0 votesThose wanting to be good samaritans would decline if they knew they were simply fattening someone’s portfolio and of course most panhandlers are truly homeless and in need of assistance. Yet the desire not to be taken advantage of is strong in most people and presents a genuine moral conflict for many. What advice can Creator give to those wanting to help the truly needy? When one gives to a beggar, does the REAL condition of the recipient have any bearing on the good karma earned by the donor?ClosedNicola asked 5 years ago • Karma551 views0 answers0 votesA worker in a large city can run an obstacle course of multiple panhandlers twice a day going to and from the office. Many times both people will pretend not to recognize the other, which can reach heights of absurdity as this can go on for years. The career panhandlers are daily intruding on the privacy of the commuters who simply want to be left alone in peace and quiet but are constantly exposed to this twice a day for years. As no one with an average salary can possibly give to everyone asking them daily for handouts, what are the karmic implications of ignoring such recurring pleas? How can Creator help the simple commuter make a moral choice?ClosedNicola asked 5 years ago • Karma536 views0 answers0 votes“Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.” When it comes to the homeless, are we collectively failing to teach them how to fish?ClosedNicola asked 5 years ago • Karma535 views0 answers0 votesA century ago, it was mostly charities and churches that were looked to to provide help for those in need. Today many look to governments to provide help for the needy and many are failing to do an adequate job. Was having the governments step in to help a mixed motive undertaking? Was the goal to create further distance between the donors and the recipients?ClosedNicola asked 5 years ago • Karma520 views0 answers0 votesWhat is Creator’s perspective on the welfare state?ClosedNicola asked 5 years ago • Karma590 views0 answers0 votesHow can prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol help to someday fully resolve the problem of homelessness?ClosedNicola asked 5 years ago • Karma532 views0 answers0 votesCan Creator share the divine perspective on the statement “I was just following orders?”ClosedNicola asked 5 years ago • Karma483 views0 answers0 votesCan Creator share the divine perspective on the statement, “Everybody does it?” Does “following the crowd” ever confer karmic leniency in any way? How much, if any, consideration does Creator give to this when considering mitigating grace?ClosedNicola asked 5 years ago • Karma524 views0 answers0 votes
