A viewer asks: “According to psychologist Laura L. Carstensen later-life couples often prioritize stability in their relationship over disagreement; they communicate gently and avoid overt conflict. They prioritize emotional closeness and positivity in interactions and tend to minimize negative exchanges. But this reduction in visible conflict can mean grievances and resentments are unresolved and can become a pattern of indefinite avoidance. When important concerns are unresolved, partners may feel unheard, isolated, or disconnected, even within long-standing relationships. Is this a wise recognition of time being finite and reaching for love or a shortcoming in addressing problems? Is talking enough?”

A viewer asks: “Many families have a “conspiracy of silence,” where airing upsets is seen as disloyal. Men are expected to absorb pain and appear strong; women to maintain family harmony. This can lead to resentment, passive-aggression, emotional withdrawal, or illness. Fear of distress or abandonment often motivates a withdrawn silence. Talking about problems is the pop-psychology remedy but with dubious success as it often backfires. Perhaps changing the “conspiracy” seems to requires self-differentiation, boundaries, emotional regulation, and additional support before opening up. Is it wiser to build these qualities first, perhaps requesting divine support in doing so, before airing grievances?”

A viewer asks: “‘You create your own reality’ has become a New Age mantra. It’s really though referring to a person’s inner experience, not an outside situation or circumstances. However, there do seem to be some leverage points on creating the inner experience and on intentional action. Perception depends on: what is selected for attention (based on threats, rewards, goal-relevant cues), questioning first impressions as final truth, moderation of strong emotional reactions (defensiveness, overreaction, etc.), cognitive appraisal (based on beliefs and past experiences), and then a story that integrates it all. To what extent can a person influence this process of constructing their inner reality for the better?” What is Creator’s perspective?

A viewer asks: “Many people struggle with setting personal emotional or opinion and perspective boundaries. They fear rejection, worry about appearing selfish, or grew up in environments where boundaries weren’t modeled. It’s common to feel guilty initially when enforcing new limits, even though boundaries are fundamentally about self-respect. Is one aspect of Divine Principle for living #7 (…meet your responsibility to be your soul’s guardian, and take care of its safety and protection from harm) to be bold in holding the line, even when it feels uncomfortable, without being blunt, cold, or confrontational? Is this about practicing self-love through behavior, not over-accommodating or over-sacrificing?”

A viewer asks: “Married couples often think, “If we just love each other more everything will work out.” Humanity, though, identifies specific sources of difficulties and solutions. Psychological approaches focus on personality traits, attachment styles, and emotional patterns. Sociological approaches focus on social structures, norms, and inequalities. Therapeutic approaches focus on communication, conflict resolution, and repair. Behavioral approaches focus on marriage as a set of changeable behaviors. Given the high levels of ignorance of the karmic causes of relationship troubles, and the weaknesses and variable effectiveness of the main approaches, how can “be more loving,” even the divine principles version, be enough?” What is Creator’s perspective?

A viewer asks: “Would the techniques of releasing trapped emotions, as expressed in Dr. Bradley Nelson’s book The Emotion Code be of benefit for conscious healing processes? Dr. Nelson claims that his procedure reaches the subconscious and interacts with it in clearing trapped emotions.”

A viewer asks: “Many people assume the self is mostly fixed, defined by circumstances, something to “find,” not something you shape or choose. 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?

A 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?”

A 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?”

Can you help us better understand the role of the Higher Self? Does it cause things to happen by directing healing energy for divine interventions and their implementation, or is its role strictly for observing, monitoring, and reporting current status as a kind of sentinel? Can you give us a tutorial about the role of the higher self in maintaining physical and emotional well-being and for healing when things get out of alignment?

A viewer asks: “Recently a young adult female elephant gored a senior keeper at an African elephant orphanage which led to the death of the much loved 70 year old father of eight. The elephant was out browsing with its herd when it uprooted a tree thus blocking a dirt road. As members of staff started to clear up the branches, it turned on the senior keeper and gored him. The man died of his wounds later, much to the dismay and sadness of his family and the local community. The elephant, not an orphan itself, didn’t have a history of trauma so why did it do this? Did the negative ET alliance have a hand in this? What actions could the staff, community and family take to optimally heal from this tragedy?”

A viewer asks: “Elephants fascinate: Physically, they are vital to their ecosystems and the singular characteristics of their trunks are miraculous in their functionality. The 24 month gestation period and resulting families are the epitome of the bond between mother and offspring. Herd bonding is based on a wide range of emotions; from showing love to anger and grieving, and are so playful. Calves are very endearing. Elephants’ legendary memories, human-like lifespans and range of emotions perhaps explains why human-elephant hybrids are on the roster of Asian deities. Do they have individual souls? Do they experience karma? Could Creator give a tutorial on their creation and benefits for human culture?”

A viewer asks: “As a member of a few years, I still have some difficulty in understanding the term “the higher self.” What is it? Where is it? How does it help us? How can we connect to it?” Can you give us a tutorial?

Themistocles (thuh·mist-uh·kleez) said: “I have with me two gods, Persuasion and Compulsion.” Jenny Mollen said, “I think the power of persuasion would be the greatest superpower of all time.” Aesop said, “Persuasion is often more effectual than force.” And James Altucher (All-tuh-chur) said, “Most people don’t have the power of persuasion.” Does this explain why so many turn to compulsion instead? What is Creator’s perspective on persuasion versus coercion, and persuasion as a superpower?

How much of the power of persuasion is a product of divinely bestowed soul attributes, versus a learned skill that one acquires through trial and error over many lifetimes? If a learned skill, how is that skill transferred from lifetime to lifetime? Is it recorded in the akashic records and made part of cellular memory during the fetus’s formation? Or is it something wholly spiritual in nature, retained by the spirit itself, and if one learns the power of persuasion while incarnated, are their newly discovered persuasive powers on display in the light between lives as genuine learning? What can Creator tell us?
