Google, for instance, defines ego as “a person’s sense of self-esteem or self-importance,” whereas dictionary.com defines it as “the ‘I’ or self of any person; a person as thinking, feeling, and willing, and distinguishing itself from the selves of others and from objects of its thought.” It is so open-ended that one quickly despairs of ever getting a truly precise definition. With that said, it’s high time to add Creator’s take on the word’s meaning! How would Creator define the word “ego?”ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Human Corruption335 views0 answers0 votesIs ego a feature of all sentient consciousness? Sentient meaning consciousness that possesses self-awareness and the capacity for abstract thought. It is assumed that sentience is variable, that there are degrees of sentience. For instance, apes have demonstrated some sentience, but minuscule in comparison to humans. It is also assumed that sentience is not brain-dependent and that angels, of course, have sentience. The question is, where there is sentience, is there also an ego, or the potential for ego? What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Human Corruption307 views0 answers0 votesDoes Creator have an ego?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Human Corruption474 views0 answers0 votesDictionary.com defined ego as “a person as thinking, feeling, and willing.” “Feeling” is another one of those “slippery” words that can be tough to place boundaries on. The question is, are feelings something the ego or self experiences or creates, or both? Or are the origins of feelings, all feelings, external to the ego? Clearly, the conscious self experiences feelings, but more importantly has the capacity to judge those feelings, as appropriate or inappropriate, based on beliefs that are also often largely resident and originating in the subconscious. Feelings can influence choices of will, but cannot dictate what choices the ego will make. Can Creator help us sort out the reality and flow of feelings or emotion, and what the ego’s role is in experiencing them, judging them, and acting upon them?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Human Corruption380 views0 answers0 votesDo angels have an anatomy? Not a physical one, but an energetic one? Do they have an energetic brain? If they do, can they experience brain damage? Can an angel be murdered? Is being cut off completely from life force energy the only way an angel can perish, or are there others?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Human Corruption409 views0 answers0 votesCreator said angels do not have a subconscious, and further told us: “They have one integrated way of perceiving things and are able to see a wider array of sources of information; they have a much larger knowledge base. The problem they have is that their beliefs become distorted through time because of conflicts they have with wanting to satisfy desires of the soul that might not be appropriate in the moment.” Is the angel the entirety of its soul or a soul extension, like with human beings? Does an angel experience desires of the soul as something originating outside of their ego, the way a human might, something they have but whose true origin remains a mystery?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Human Corruption420 views0 answers0 votesHow can an angel be bullied? Can angels feel anything akin to physical pain, or is angelic pain emotional only? Can only their feelings and self-esteem be affected?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Human Corruption423 views0 answers0 votesIs narcissism the same hazard for angels as it is for humans? Is there any difference in the anatomy of narcissism between angels and humans? Is narcissism a diseased ego?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Human Corruption384 views0 answers0 votesThe essence of free will is the freedom to CHOOSE. Dr. Viktor Frankl said that when all choices have been removed from a person, the one choice remaining that nobody else can dictate is their ability to choose their ATTITUDE. If so, it appears this would be true for both humans and angels, and in fact all sentient beings; and while the choice can be influenced by others, it cannot be MADE by others. Would that extend to the realm of prayer as well? In other words, no matter how much we pray for God to change someone’s attitude, this will remain something God will always refuse to do in a free will environment. So the divine can change things that influence the choice, but not the choice itself. What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Human Corruption348 views0 answers0 votesCan Creator tell us how Empowered Prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol can heal the ego, or help heal the ego if it cannot be done directly?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Human Corruption390 views0 answers0 votesMonica Raymond said, “Little white lies are part of everyday life. If you’re in court being charged with a felony, you’re probably going to be tempted to lie. Or if your girlfriend asks you if the sweater she is wearing makes her look fat; you’re going to lie because you love that person. There are different reasons and justifications to lie; it’s human nature.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Divine Guidance410 views0 answers0 votesPamela Meyer said, “White lies keep social dignity intact and are far more prevalent than most people realize. Several studies have found that an average person is lied to from 10 to 200 times a day – mostly just to keep a conversation going, to avoid conflict, or to establish a connection with someone.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Divine Guidance421 views0 answers0 votesBarry Ritholz said, “Little white lies are told by humans all the time. Indeed, lying is often how we get through each day in a happy little bubble. We spend time and energy rationalizing our own behaviors, beliefs, and decision-making processes.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Divine Guidance406 views0 answers0 votesDale Carnegie wrote the multi-million bestseller, How to Win Friends and Influence People. Advocates would say that Carnegie taught a method of manipulating people that created “win-win” scenarios, where both the manipulated and manipulators benefited. The detractors would say Carnegie’s methods can be used to screw people. Any kind of indirect manipulation is problematic, as it arguably violates free will, especially if used to encourage “uninformed” decisions. Hypnotist and Researcher Dick Sutphen wrote of Carnegie in his book, Radical Spirituality, “The Carnegie Course teaches you to say what will work to get what you want. Isn’t that being phony or a hypocrite? Forget sincerity, forget honesty. Forget being real. Carnegie teaches you to be a diplomat and wear a mask. Masks are the fear that who and what you are isn’t adequate, so you pretend to be somebody else.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Divine Guidance433 views0 answers0 votesSutphen, additionally, said this about Carnegie techniques, “If you use Carnegie techniques to win friends, the friendship has to be based upon a two-way manipulation. You pretend to be the mask to attain friendship and they will be your friend as long as you wear it. What happens when your mask slips and they find out who you really are? Do you need any relationship or association so badly that you’re willing to repress your real self in order to attain it?” Many would answer YES – they have a mortgage to pay, and must wear the mask in order to stay employed. Sutphen was an independent businessman and had more freedom in that regard. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Divine Guidance438 views0 answers0 votes
