Dale 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?

Sutphen, 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?

A close cousin of “white lies” are “lies of omission.” In navigating this world, one encounters people with “false impressions” based on judgments made quickly with incomplete information, or biases where contrary evidence is simply ignored. In these situations, allowing a person to continue believing and acting in a way that is contrary to the actual truth of a situation is often characterized as “lying by omission.” There can be countless motivations for doing this, from greed to sympathy to personal safety. Some would argue that lies of omission are just as dishonest as overt lies. What is Creator’s perspective?

Children are arguably told more white lies than anyone. Most people would argue that this is an imperative and that it would be almost impossible to raise healthy children without having to resort to them. What is Creator’s perspective?

Dr. Viktor Frankl wrote that in his opinion, it was possible to “lie with the truth.” He cited as an example a man who came to him plagued with guilt about an illicit affair he had some 20 years earlier. His wife never learned of it and was still ignorant of it when he sought Frankl’s advice. Dr. Frankl implored him NOT to tell her. His reason for doing so was because he believed that the man truly loved his wife and had no desire to traumatize her. Based on what he knew of the man’s wife, he was convinced that there was little to no chance of the wife receiving the news without drawing the false conclusion that he did not love her, and consequently would not be able to forgive him. So he attempted to coach the man, that telling her the truth, would be akin to lying, for it would encourage her to believe a lie—that her husband did not ever love her. The man ignored Frankl’s advice, and the result was an ugly divorce with both parties deeply emotionally traumatized. Was Frankl right? What is Creator’s perspective?

Dick Sutphen in his book, Radical Spirituality, listed 69 reminders and asserted they were the only Bible anyone needed. Number 50 was, “Refuse to make choice based upon the expectations of others. Instead, act in ways consistent with your purpose.” Out of the 69 reminders, this one, if followed uncritically, could cause a great deal of trouble for a person in this world. Sometimes, not telling someone, like an authority figure, what they want or expect to hear, could be quite problematic. What is Creator’s perspective?

“Informed consent” is obviously important to most people, and a fundamentally fair way to manage human affairs. Yet, in the realm of remote healing, it is possible to heal or attempt to heal someone without their knowledge, which would render moot any notion of their consent. Isn’t that dishonest? Can Creator tell us if Empowered Prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol are exempt from that concern, and if so, why?

Given that bad thoughts about another person created in the dream state can actually harm them energetically, and incur a karmic penalty, how often do positive dreams with happy, loving, thoughts about another person create a benefit for that target, or do we spend most of our dream time focused on the negative?

Can we request through prayer to have inspiration given by the divine realm to suggest positive topics and agendas to dream about which would help others and the self, karmically?

Does the emphasis of Compassion Key on using leading suggestions that evoke negative emotions (e.g., “I’m so sorry you’re sad, I’m so sorry you were rejected, I’m so sorry you’re afraid you’ll fail…”) help people connect usefully with past traumatic events, or is this a trade-off in terms of possibly promoting re-live of the trauma?

Does the high level of emotionality that Compassion Key encourages, actually have a danger of stirring up old karmic business that would otherwise remain dormant, and which it might not heal effectively?

In Parkland, Florida, the Broward Sheriff’s Office and the school district actions reportedly contributed to the loss of 17 lives at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High. No one took charge for 58 minutes, while shooter Nikolas Cruz roamed at large firing at anyone he saw. A security monitor spotted Cruz walking through an unguarded gate with a rifle bag 20 minutes before dismissal. He informed another campus monitor by radio, but did not call a Code Red to put the school on lockdown. The school resource officer, who was the only armed cop on campus, drove toward the gunfire. But once he reached the outside of the building, he stayed there and took cover. Instead of ordering deputies toward the building, he called for a school lockdown. More deputies arrived, but hung back while the gunfire continued in the school. Cruz was able to walk out of the school unhindered but finally was arrested on a nearby street. In hindsight, the ineffective actions of the authorities came under criticism. Was this just confusion and cautious hesitation, given it was a school full of children, or was there a hidden reason for the slow response to the crisis?

A client has not improved following our Lightworker Healing Protocol session. She says, “The thoughts just keep coming and at times with greater force.” What more can we do to help?

The questions for this show are derived from the life and work of the late hypnotist and prolific metaphysical author Dick Sutphen. Sutphen’s last book published in 2019, one year before his death at age 83, was titled Wisdom Erases Karma. There is no doubt that if Sutphen were to sum up his storied life in just three words, they would be “Wisdom Erases Karma.” These words were engraved on this tombstone, and the final sentence of his final book reads, “From my early days, I recognized that my life was about finding the wisdom to erase my karma.” What is Creator’s perspective on the phrase “Wisdom Erases Karma?”

Sutphen’s last wife before he died, Roberta Sutphen, is a gifted psychic medium. Like many gifted psychics, Roberta can communicate with her spirit guides readily. One day Roberta was frustrated and asked her principal guide, Lily, why she seems to get instant karma while some people they knew seemed to face no consequences at all? Lily told her there is a group of people who do not abide by the Law of Karma as we know it. … that there are two types of karma: those on the Karmic Wheel of Love and those on the Karmic Wheel of Fear. The laws are completely opposite. Every thought, intent, and desire for those on the Karmic Wheel of Love comes from God and shine in the light—the opposite is true for the Wheel of Fear. People on the Karmic Wheel of Fear are a collective mass that are earthbound and controlled by the Kingdom of Darkness. Can Creator tell us if this is true? Are there “two types of karma?”
