If one simply strives to be normal, one will automatically and simultaneously be considered to be a good person. And to challenge a person’s normality is to simultaneously challenge their goodness. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs211 views0 answers0 votesWhat does Creator think of the idea of root beliefs representing beliefs that create the very foundations of a person’s personal worldview? Such a root belief would be “normal is good.” And from this one belief, an entire superstructure of beliefs about proper behavior, proper ideas, proper appearance, and, most problematic of all, proper politics is manifested. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs226 views0 answers0 votesA root belief is a belief that will be protected at all costs. Even, and especially, in the face of conflicting evidence to the contrary. For instance, if one held the root belief that “democracy is good,” then anything that challenges their notion of democracy is bad. So if a democratically elected leader bends or breaks the rules, but does so to protect democracy, then the behavior is justified. Even if the actions taken are decisively non-democratic.

People have been observed having actual panic attacks if they suddenly realize their cover is blown and they somehow appear, or even RISK appearing, not normal. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs204 views0 answers0 votesA woman known to one of the GetWisdom founders believes fanatically that she is a GOOD person, that she values the good, exudes the good, champions the good, and that her goodness detector is functioning normally at all times. Any suggestion to the contrary is defended to her last breath. Therefore, the politics she embraces is also good, and any opposition is universally bad. She is not dumb, but she engages in a kind of black-and-white, all-or-nothing style of thinking that is nearly impossible to challenge.

How does this represent a healing need, and how does the divine realm go about healing this dilemma in the gentlest manner possible?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs183 views0 answers0 votesDoes lack of sophistication in thinking represent a healing dilemma or a maturation dilemma? How much is rational and logical thinking a skill that can be enhanced, or a limitation? When we consider someone as gifted musically as Mozart, for instance, we don’t consider ourselves sick because we can’t do a fraction of what he could do. What is needed to be Mozart doesn’t appear to be healing, but PRACTICE and a build-up of skill that spans multiple lifetimes and even dimensions. Countless Lightworker Healing Protocol sessions done for me will not turn me into Mozart, or will it?

Can Creator tell us what normal would look like if the interlopers left, and how Empowered Prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol are needed to bring that about?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs256 views0 answers0 votesThe assertions Creator is being asked to address in this episode come from the volume, The Myth of an Afterlife: The Case Against Life After Death. The author, Matt McCormick, wrote, “The physical structures of the brain are causally responsible for consciousness and its capacities. A neuroscientist examining scans of a stroke victim’s brain can now predict, sometimes with remarkable accuracy (down to the millimeter), exactly what sorts of cognitive, conceptual, emotional, or psychological problems that the patient will experience as a result of his or her brain damage. The connection is too great, too pervasive, too immediate, and too strong to be ignored. The physical foundations of mental functions shows that the alleged separation of mind from brain posited by the dualistic survival hypothesis … will not occur.” What can Creator tell us about this skeptic’s conclusion?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Limiting Beliefs266 views0 answers0 votesMatt McCormick wrote this in his contribution to the collection titled Dead as a Doornail: “While most of us would acknowledge some connection between mental function and the brain, we may have failed to see just how deep the connection runs. Even the most abstract mental faculties—and the most specific features and contents of our private mental states—can be mapped directly onto brain functions. … People who suffer from Anton-Babinski syndrome are cortically blind, but they don’t believe they’re blind or consciously blind. They will adamantly insist they can see even in the face of clear evidence of their blindness, dismissing their inability to perform visual tasks by confabulating explanations for their poor performance. … The syndrome results from a specific sort of damage to the occipital lobe of the brain.” Is this wholly a result of brain damage, as the skeptics assert, or is this a clue about the underlying origins and actions of consciousness? What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Limiting Beliefs274 views0 answers0 votesMatt McCormick wrote, “Capgras syndrome results from lesions in the occipital, temporal, and frontal lobes of the brain. Afflicted patients have the powerful sense that someone they know, particularly a loved one, has been replaced by an imposter. Vilayanur Ramachandran postulates that the problem arises from a failure of the temporal regions responsible for face recognition to communicate with the limbic system regions responsible for emotional responses.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Limiting Beliefs296 views0 answers0 votesMatt McCormick wrote, “Cotard’s syndrome, or the delusional belief that you are dead, that you don’t exist, or that you have lost your organs or blood, results from damage to the channels of interaction between the fusiform face area and the limbic system.” What can Creator tell us about this? Are the researchers over-attributing causality to the brain damage alone? Would the same symptoms and delusions inevitably result in any person that suffered similar brain damage?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Limiting Beliefs241 views0 answers0 votesMatt McCormick wrote, “Research shows remarkable relationships between brain tumors and brain chemistry, on the one hand, and bizarre thoughts or behaviors, on the other. In one patient the onset of hypersexuality, obsession with pornography, and pedophilia paralleled the growth of a tumor in his right orbitofrontal lobe. When the tumor was removed, his urges lapsed. When the tumor grew back, his pedophilia returned.” What can Creator tell us about this tumor-to-behavior relationship?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Limiting Beliefs281 views0 answers0 votesMatt McCormick wrote, “Patients with no history of gambling find themselves overwhelmed with the urge to gamble when their dosages (of Parkinson’s drug pramipexole) cross a particular threshold, sometimes leading them to gamble away their life savings. But when the dosage is reduced, the urge vanishes.” Can Creator tell us what is REALLY going on here?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Limiting Beliefs257 views0 answers0 votesMatt McCormick wrote, “Even something as common as the effects of a cup of espresso show that those elements of consciousness alleged to survive biological death depend directly upon the brain.” This seems like missing the forest for the trees. Stimulus effects are conditions that arouse the “decision-maker” within, but they do not decide for her or him! Otherwise, it would be impossible to resist ANYTHING. And life calls for a great deal of discerning resistance! Is it safe to say that DECISION is a spiritual function, not a biological function? What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Limiting Beliefs250 views0 answers0 votes
