Jealousy means unpleasant suspicion, or apprehension of rivalship.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 1 year ago • Human Corruption148 views0 answers0 votesIn the Bible, In James 3:14 (NLT), he cautions those who wish to be wise, “… if you are bitterly jealous and there is selfish ambition in your heart, don’t cover up the truth with boasting or lying.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 1 year ago • Human Corruption157 views0 answers0 votesThe website Edubirdie.com in an article called, The Peculiarities Of Envy Sin, had this to say about envy: “Dante’s Inferno depicts envy to be one of the most unforgivable sins that a person can commit. It is heavily depicted to be connected to pride, and this is evident based on Dante’s organization of Hell.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 1 year ago • Human Corruption139 views0 answers0 votesMarilyn Monroe said: “Success makes so many people hate you. I wish it wasn’t that way. It would be wonderful to enjoy success without seeing envy in the eyes of those around you.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 1 year ago • Human Corruption197 views0 answers0 votesOliver Stone said: “Never underestimate the power of jealousy and the power of envy to destroy. Never underestimate that.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 1 year ago • Human Corruption132 views0 answers0 votesVictor Hugo said: “The wicked envy and hate; it is their way of admiring.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 1 year ago • Human Corruption137 views0 answers0 votesTheodore Roosevelt said: “Probably the greatest harm done by vast wealth is the harm that we of moderate means do ourselves when we let the vices of envy and hatred enter deep into our own natures.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 1 year ago • Human Corruption105 views0 answers0 votesErich Fromm said: “There is perhaps no phenomenon which contains so much destructive feeling as moral indignation, which permits envy or hate to be acted out under the guise of virtue.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 1 year ago • Human Corruption131 views0 answers0 votesIn last week’s Get Wisdom LIVE, Creator said, “The falling out in heaven, of the angelics working with Lucifer, began with envy of those with greater authority and a greater measure of control and influence on things, perceived as “a greater level of status,” and that envy fueled the ego and resulted in conduct that was out of alignment, and grew in frequency and intensity, causing those angels to experience a greater and greater deviation from the ideal divine alignment they had enjoyed.” If it’s based on a belief that others are unfairly blocking you from success, I can see how that can be pretty problematic for eternal beings with continuous unbroken consciousness. “That darn Archangel Michael is always two steps ahead of me, and apparently it will be that way FOREVER.” Is envy the ice on the slippery slope? Is it the most corrosive and dangerous indulgence? What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 1 year ago • Human Corruption133 views0 answers0 votesIf envy is the most dangerous of mental and spiritual indulgences, does this mean it is the most difficult affliction to heal? Can Creator share with us how Empowered Prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol are the most effective means to assist the jealous and envious to eventually find a new and more divine perspective?ClosedNicola asked 1 year ago • Human Corruption140 views0 answers0 votesWikipedia defines the Dunning-Kruger effect as follows: “The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias whereby people with low ability, expertise, or experience regarding a certain type of a task or area of knowledge tend to overestimate their ability or knowledge.” This effect seems common, and when encountered, almost completely resistant to challenge or debate. What is Creator’s perspective on the Dunning-Kruger effect? How much can be attributed to subconscious programming, and how much to the simple immaturity of the incarnated human?ClosedNicola asked 1 year ago • Human Corruption138 views0 answers0 votesA person with Dunning-Kruger might say something like, “… of course, I don’t know. I don’t NEED to know. I have COMMON SENSE.” And then expects their opinion to carry equal (or even greater) weight in a given debate. Can Creator share just how a person comes to think this way?ClosedNicola asked 1 year ago • Human Corruption109 views0 answers0 votesAnother behavior related to Dunning-Kruger would be a tendency to appeal to some kind of superior credential, even and especially if it is completely unrelated to the given debate at hand. Such a credential would be physical age: “Well young man, I am twenty years your senior, I think I know a thing or two.” Or, “You’re talking to a decorated veteran, show some respect!” Or, “I’ve lived a good life, had a lucrative career, raised three upstanding children, and am a grandparent to boot! I think my opinion should matter!” This tendency to take shelter in some kind of superior, if wholly unrelated and even irrelevant credential, is widespread and sometimes very problematic. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 1 year ago • Human Corruption116 views0 answers0 votesCreator described the ego in a previous GetWisdom LIVE program as follows: “The ego is a limited vessel, a limited capability that puts the self, first. As such, it is kind of like having a suit of armor that is self-protective. It might be awkward to wear, inconvenient, even drag you down from the sheer weight and inconvenience of suiting up before you make an excursion where you are at risk, but a potential lifesaver if you are attacked and would otherwise be vulnerable and perish. The suit of armor gives you a fighting chance at least. The ego, in the same way, is more like a weapon in being quite focused on your supremacy. In a sense, it is your last refuge to maintain an advantage and hold your ground to stand up to those who would bully you or intimidate, and provide a wherewithal to weather the storm.” The Dunning-Kruger effect appears to be the ego fulfilling this very function in a crude, imprecise, but very forceful and compelling manner. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 1 year ago • Human Corruption127 views0 answers0 votesCreator has previously discussed five principal selves that make up the human being—the deep subconscious, subconscious, cellular consciousness, primary or conscious self, and the higher self. What about the ego? Can it be, should it be, characterized as a “sixth self?” And if not, why not?ClosedNicola asked 1 year ago • Human Corruption147 views0 answers0 votes
