That clarity of mind, which is so hard to obtain, dispels fear, but also blinds. It forces the man never to doubt himself. It gives him the assurance he can do anything he pleases, for he sees clearly into everything. And he is courageous because he is clear, and he stops at nothing because he is clear. But all that is a mistake; it is like something incomplete. If the man yields to this make-believe power, he has succumbed to his second enemy and will fumble with learning. He will rush when he should be patient, or he will be patient when he should rush. And he will fumble with learning until he winds up incapable of learning anything more.” This sounds like a kind of arrogance, that the being defeated by clarity is one who thinks himself, falsely, as enlightened—falsely complete. Don Juan says, “He will no longer learn or yearn for anything.” Sounds like a lot of atheists and skeptics! (Which we know the ETs are.) The antithesis of humility. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Non-Local Consciousness414 views0 answers0 votesCastaneda asks how to avoid being defeated by clarity. Don Juan responds, “He must do what he did with fear. He must defy his clarity and use it only to see, and wait patiently and measure carefully before taking new steps; he must think, above all, that his clarity (his enlightenment?) is almost a mistake. And a moment will come when he will understand that his clarity was only a point before his eyes. He will know at this point that the power he has been pursuing is finally his. He can do with it whatever he pleases. His wish is the rule. He sees all that is around him. But he has also come to his third enemy, Power!” Fear and clarity (or arrogance) can interfere with obtaining true power. What is Creator’s perspective on Don Juan’s recipe for overcoming the second natural enemy to enlightenment—clarity?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Non-Local Consciousness470 views0 answers0 votesDon Juan talks of the third natural enemy to enlightenment: “Power is the strongest of all enemies. And naturally the easiest thing to do is to give in; after all, the man (or the being) is truly invincible. He commands; he begins by taking calculated risks, and ends in making rules, because he is a master. A man at this stage hardly notices his third enemy (power) closing in on him. And suddenly, without knowing, he will certainly have lost the battle. His enemy (power) will have turned him into a cruel, capricious man. Such a man has no command over himself, and cannot tell when or how to use his power.” The mistake, it appears, is thinking the power is HIS to use as he pleases. He thinks he owns the power, rather than being a steward of it. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Non-Local Consciousness421 views0 answers0 votesCastaneda asks Don Juan how to defeat the third enemy to enlightenment—power. Don Juan responds, “He has to defy it, deliberately. He has to come to realize the power he has seemingly conquered is in reality never his. He must keep himself in line at all times, handling carefully and faithfully all he has learned. If he can see that clarity and power, without his control over himself, are worse than mistakes, he will reach a point where everything is held in check. He will know when and how to use his power. And thus he will have defeated his third enemy.” Is it safe to assume that all the fallen angelics and ET Alliance members have been defeated by the enemy, power, if not by clarity (or arrogance) and fear, that NONE of them have “control over themselves?” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Non-Local Consciousness454 views0 answers0 votesIn all the questions asked so far, there was no mention of divine partnership. It seems Don Juan was giving a tutorial on how to achieve enlightenment without Creator’s assistance, which is apparently something very few can ever manage on their own. How does partnership with the divine, using Empowered Prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol, make the genuine attainment of enlightenment, and the defeat of the enemies of enlightenment, possible for the many, instead of the intrepid few?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Non-Local Consciousness408 views0 answers0 votesA client asked us to check on a woman who committed suicide by jumping in front of a commuter train seven years ago, and we found she was still earthbound and not in the light. Some believe suicide is a mortal sin. Can you help us understand what led to her death and her failure to transition fully?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Transition (Crossing Over)637 views0 answers0 votesDr. Viktor Frankl wrote: “… a man who belongs to a given nation is obviously neither guilty nor meritorious by that fact alone. His guilt would begin when, for example, he did not cultivate in himself the special talents of the nation, or took no part in national cultural values; while he would be acting meritoriously if he overcame in himself certain characterological weaknesses of the nation by a conscious process of self-examination.” Frankl’s perspective is quite thought provoking when it is understood that some of the most common oaths sworn today are to the nations that people live in.

People might think you mean it.” This would be especially true if it was a “witnessed” event. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma508 views0 answers0 votesDr. Viktor Frankl wrote: “Every one of us knows somehow that the content of his life is somehow preserved and saved.” If the taking of an oath is an affirmative deed that becomes recorded for all of time in the akashic records, one can never get away from it completely, and at the very least, the event will always be in the recorded history of the soul. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma587 views0 answers0 votesThe most pernicious form of oath is the loyalty oath accompanied by a requirement to carry out a nefarious deed, such as killing another human being. Some people consider this urban myth and don’t want to believe that this actually happens. However, a recent local story about a random shooting was published in Grand Rapids, Michigan. For the story, the reporter consulted with a former Chicago gang member for his analysis. The consultant says to join the gang the shooter was suspected of trying to join, a person must kill a rival gang member or someone random. But the rules are they can’t get caught. What can Creator tell us? Is this an urban myth? And if not, how widespread a problem is it?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma461 views0 answers0 votesIt would seem that the power of an oath depends on how successfully it alters and/or cements belief. Is it correct to say it’s not the oath itself that binds, but the effect it has on the beliefs of oath takers, oath administrators, and oath witnesses?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma403 views0 answers0 votesGeorge Washington said: “Where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation deserts the oaths.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma456 views0 answers0 votesWhat is Creator’s perspective on the American “Pledge of Allegiance?”ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma488 views0 answers0 votesSamuel Coleridge Taylor said: “The present system of taking oaths is horrible. It is awfully absurd to make a man invoke God’s wrath upon himself, if he speaks false; it is, in my judgment, a sin to do so.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma463 views0 answers0 votesThe Lightworker Healing Protocol expressly lists “oaths” as a spiritual reality requiring healing intervention. Can Creator summarize why this is so, and how Empowered Prayer and The Lightworker Healing Protocol are the most effective means to reverse the damage to the soul they can do?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma407 views0 answers0 votes
