This puts the victim in a kind of limbo waiting for closure that may be long in coming. This leaves the victim, as well as onlookers, feeling powerless. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Karma326 views0 answers0 votesThis whole notion of closure seems less than ideal. It is regarded as of the utmost importance to achieve, and yet, in the end, how much does it actually change? The victim has no role to play but to sit and wait for something outside of themselves to happen. Can Creator comment on this notion of achieving closure, as something that must be done for the victim, rather than by the victim?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Karma282 views0 answers0 votesVictimhood is widely equated with powerlessness. We expect victims to be powerless, fragile, distraught, and in need of protection and isolation. This seems counterintuitive if the goal is to empower victims to heal themselves to the greatest extent possible. The thinking seems to be, if we just leave victims alone, somehow their suffering will slowly evaporate and they’ll bounce back when they are ready. Once again, waiting for something to happen to them rather than making something happen themselves. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Karma250 views0 answers0 votesVictims are often thought of as “damaged goods.” This has been especially true in regard to the crime of rape, to such an extreme that some cultures have even blamed the victims themselves, and had them put to death along with the perpetrator, or even instead of the perpetrator. There is truth to the notion that emotional trauma can be crippling, and transform a once happy and gregarious person into someone almost unrecognizable. Some victims are so conscious of this fact, that they go out of their way to say, “It was no big deal.” What is Creator’s perspective on this dilemma?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Karma281 views0 answers0 votesIn all these questions we have been exploring the idea of the innocent victim who has no duty, and to whom everything is owed by agents and circumstances outside of themselves, that victims are special, but even so, may be regarded as undesirable damaged goods by some, or even many. In contrast, Creator said this in last week’s radio show: “As the guardian of your own soul, you are responsible even for healing what is done to you by others.” This seems to be quite a departure from the notion of the helpless victim, powerless to remedy their own situation. Can Creator comment further?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Karma272 views0 answers0 votesCan Creator share how prayer work and the Lightworker Healing Protocol can empower victims to heal themselves and even their perpetrators, and rise above and away from the self-perception of being an innocent and helpless victim?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Karma431 views0 answers0 votesAirplane pilots need to know which way the wind is blowing before attempting a takeoff. To do this, they will lick their finger and stick it into the air. This same kind of “check,” to see which way the “right consensus” is thinking, is observed almost everywhere. Another analogy would be to think of people walking around with a mini satellite dish on their head, that is connected 24-7 to their consensus database, like social media or a particular news outlet, so they’re never confused about what is “safe” information and what is “dangerous” information? What is Creator’s perspective of these analogies?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Problems in Society285 views0 answers0 votesGetWisdom is trying to utilize social media to get Creator’s message out to as wide an audience as possible. But for all its promise, most people end up in a political, religious, and social “echo chamber” within these platforms. How much of this is just human tribalism, versus an intentional engineering of the platforms themselves to segregate people this way?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Karma241 views0 answers0 votesInternet “memes” are one picture depictions of an issue or topic that is often comical, ironic, or even condescending and demeaning. Often used as a form of creative rebellion or opposition to an opponent, or position, it was stated recently in the article, How Donald Trump Won the 2016 Meme Wars, “Creators of these memes act as self-appointed cultural gatekeepers.” Some credit Trump supporters’ mastery of the social media meme as perhaps an important key in his winning in 2016. What is Creator’s perspective on the power and influence of memes?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Karma248 views0 answers0 votesSocial forum platforms like Facebook, seem to have such incredible promise as an electronic “public square” where everybody can participate, where people can debate issues, present supporting data and evidence easily, and enable everybody to become more informed at a deep level about all the myriad things impacting their lives. But the reality is, it seems very few actually want to engage at a deeply thoughtful level, and instead use the platform simply for reinforcing their already entrenched beliefs, and attacking and ridiculing anyone who tries to challenge them. Can Creator share why this ideal of an electronic public square, has so fallen short?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Karma246 views0 answers0 votesIn a recent online discussion, the poster of an article on a very contentious topic enjoyed an avalanche of likes and supportive comments from friends and family members of similar persuasion. But one family member tried to help soften the collective view of the opposition as everything from crazy and stupid, to downright evil. After challenging this consensus on point after point, and using evidence and scientific findings not in alignment with the embraced narrative, the creator of the thread said this, “Please don’t argue on my Facebook page. I don’t go on your page and denigrate your posts.” Can Creator comment on why so many people see a highly contentious topic thread they create as somehow equivalent to a holiday party in their backyard, with the unspoken rule that you “never criticize the host?”ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Karma269 views0 answers0 votesSocial media “trolls” and bullies are truly an epidemic. Often these are people who would never be so bold and derogatory in person. It seems every echo chamber has its self appointed “bouncer” who sees it as their job to drive away anyone who brings a dissenting opinion. Rather than engaging in a thoughtful discussion of any kind, they “go for the jugular” and call the opponent every name in the book. No amount of character assassination is too much, and even family members sit back and sometimes even cheer on the “bouncer” as they ravage a family member—something they would probably not be a party to in person. This from people who fancy themselves as highly opposed to any kind of overt bullying. Can Creator comment on this apparent hypocrisy?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Karma306 views0 answers0 votesSocial media has seemingly given birth to “virtue signaling.” A means by which you signal your membership with a group of people who supposedly espouse the same values by posting approved content, liking approved content, and defending approved content. Rather than a means by which greater diversity of thought can blossom, virtue signaling becomes a means by which you tow the social media party line. What is Creator’s view of virtue signaling?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Karma265 views0 answers0 votes“Cancel culture” has really become a serious problem, with the potential for severe, even grave repercussions for people who fall victim. Social media has seemingly enabled and fueled this trend, making it easier than ever before for a snitch to adversely alter the lives of the ideological opposition. Can Creator comment on the danger that cancel culture presents?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Karma262 views0 answers0 votesCan Creator share how the misuse of social media can create negative karma, and how the Lightworker Healing Protocol can both heal and protect individuals from the ravages and negative impact of social media?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Karma250 views0 answers0 votes
