Thomas Sprat said: “Covetousness, by a greediness of getting more, deprives itself of the true end of getting; it loses the enjoyment of what it had got.” What is Creator’s perspective?

Epictetus said: “Covetousness like jealousy, when it has taken root, never leaves a person, but with their life.” Actually, that is probably not entirely true as covetousness becomes a karmic dilemma that grows and rebirth brings around again and again the circumstances that trigger covetousness, but with greater intensity and imperative with each go-around. What is Creator’s perspective?

William Mason said: “Consider the evil of covetousness. That insatiable desire prevents present contentment, destroys thankfulness, yes, and keeps the enjoyment of Christ out of the heart…” Can Creator tell us if this is indeed true as opposed to mostly true? Is covetousness truly an INSATIABLE desire—a thirst that can never be quenched? And if it is, how is it that consciousness can fall into such a condition? Is covetousness only a problem with sentient souls, or can lower life forms struggle with this as well? What can Creator tell us?

Frances Bacon said: “The covetous man cannot so properly be said to possess wealth, as that may be said to possess him.” Bacon is suggesting that covetousness is a form of obsession, and perhaps even a form of possession. Can Creator share with us how interlopers, spirit attachments, and even mind control manipulation can aggravate and take advantage of this proclivity, this vulnerability?

Martha Stout, PhD, wrote about the problem of “covetous sociopathy” in her book, The Sociopath Next Door. She writes, “The covetous sociopath thinks that life has cheated her somehow, has not given her nearly the same bounty as other people, and so she must even the existential score by robbing people, by secretly causing destruction in other lives. She believes she has been slighted by nature, circumstances, and destiny, and that diminishing other people is her only means of being powerful. Retribution, usually against people who have no idea that they have been targeted, is the most important activity in the covetous sociopath’s life, her highest priority.” What is Creator’s perspective?

Martha Stout wrote: “What sociopaths envy, and may seek to destroy as part of the game, is usually something in the character structure of a person with conscience, and strong characters are often specifically targeted by sociopaths. Sociopaths want to play their game with other people. This simple but crucial observation implies that, in sociopathy, there remains some innate identification with other human beings, a tie with the species itself. However, this thin inborn connection, is one-dimensional and sterile, especially when contrasted with the vast array of complex and highly charged emotional responses most people have to one another and to their fellow human beings as a group.” Covetousness seems to be a form of envy. Is envy really the last “connection” the sociopath has to other beings? What is Creator’s perspective?

If there is anything the extraterrestrials actually “envy” about us, what is it? Is it the joy and happiness we feel with each other on account of our loving nature that they do not possess nor understand? By sheer observation they can see how pleasurable and satisfying a healthy love relationship can be, and while they might tell themselves it’s all silly foolishness, deep down, do they “know” it’s not? Do they suspect they are “missing out” on something and does this fuel their hatred? Is their arrogance and self-aggrandizement really a cover for deep unrelenting pain they can never successfully suppress entirely? Really, WHY do they hate us so much? What can Creator tell us?

We are once again face to face with a divine-level problem—the problem of healing covetousness. But while the details of healing are carried out by the divine, nothing happens without our intention enabling that healing to be carried out. If divine healing were a pizza, it wouldn’t arrive at your door on its own. You have to order and pay for it. Can Creator share with us how Empowered Prayer, the Lightworker Healing Protocol, Deep Subconscious Mind Reset, and Divine Life Support are the means, really the only means, by which the covetous heart can be healed in all beings, both physical and spiritual?

When one does a study of some of the most effective salespeople, one often encounters a mixed bag of ethically questionable tactics. One extremely successful car salesman would sit down with a phone book, call people and tell them their new car was ready for pickup. When people inevitably said, “I didn’t order a car,” he would profusely apologize and then immediately segue into asking them if they were at all in the market for a new car. With this approach, he made a fortune and set the world record at the time for most non-fleet sales made by a car salesman “one customer at a time.” Now to his credit, he was extremely likable, attentive, thorough, and did great customer service, sent birthday cards to his customers, etc. Nevertheless, a lot of his success was predicated on a lie and deception. What is Creator’s perspective?

In reference to the above car salesman’s success, he was successful because he was good at “cold calling” which most people have a deep aversion to. Cold calling is one of the most obvious breaches of the “Golden Rule” there is. Almost everyone HATES getting cold calls, and yet most successful salespeople will assert that you need to do it in order to be successful. Brian remembers one “boiler room” telephone canvasser who bragged how she abused anyone cold calling her but had no problem doing cold calling for a living. The stark hypocrisy was dramatic and utterly remorseless and unapologetic. She literally thought it was “hilarious” and laughed about it. Brian found it disturbing, to say the least. What is Creator’s perspective?

Cold calling works precisely because so many people have an aversion to doing it. That alone makes it a successful strategy for those who can bring themselves to do it. Brian did sales in the late 80s and struggled with this dilemma. A rule of thumb is it takes 10 calls to get a lead, 10 leads to get an appointment, and 10 appointments to get a sale. Brian demonstrated to himself that, indeed, the formula works and managed to get a house listing as a result. But rather than being encouraged by his success, he was so overcome with guilt about disturbing people eating dinner that he eventually abandoned sales as a career altogether. Cold calling cannot work if everyone does it. Everyone’s phone would ring all day long and it would be utterly chaotic and untenable. There is the idea that, if “everyone” can’t, then maybe no one “should?” What is Creator’s perspective?

Another successful sales guru made a fortune selling heavy stainless steel cookware door to door. (A direct form of cold calling that predates the telephone). He frequently recounted one sale he made where the woman initially slammed the front door on him and, in response, he went around to the back door to apologize for knocking on the front door. He was so charming and disarming, that the woman felt bad about mistreating him and consented to listening to his presentation as a way to make amends. She ended up buying the very expensive cookware he was selling. We are confronted with the dilemma of his apology being “insincere,” because he certainly felt no remorse about knocking on her front door at all, much less her back door after she made it clear she didn’t want to interact with him. What is Creator’s perspective on this anecdote, and what positive and negative divine lessons can we learn from it?

“Breaking the ice” is a phrase in common usage. The online Free Dictionary defines the term this way: “To do something as a means of reducing or eliminating shyness, awkward tension, or unfamiliarity.” So much of persuasion founders on this “iceberg” that the term is quite an ingenious summation of a common problem requiring great skill to master. When someone knows or learns how to “break the ice” effectively, the world is literally their oyster. This is clearly a very important “art of living” skill and lesson that so many people would benefit from mastering but struggle with intensely. What divine insight can Creator share about this common dilemma and challenge?

Like so many things dragging us down in this world, an inability to master the art of persuasion has to be up there pretty high on the list. How much of this is a deep healing need requiring divine intervention to resolve? How can Empowered Prayer, the Lightworker Healing Protocol, Deep Subconscious Mind Reset, and Divine Life Support help to heal the barriers to becoming a persuasive individual? How can divine partnership ensure that the power of persuasion is used to uplift rather than abuse?
