So long as descendants of the founders can manage the corporate empire, the empire could exist indefinitely, along with the stark and extreme apportionment of the profits to the owners and owners’ descendants. What is Creator’s perspective on this observation?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Problems in Society375 views0 answers0 votesCan Creator share how prayer work and the Lightworker Healing Protocol are the true solutions to creating future collective prosperity, rather than anything involving direct societal planning, organization, and especially coercion of desired behaviors?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Problems in Society408 views0 answers0 votesLevittown, NY is widely recognized as the birthplace of modern American suburbia. Levittown was the birthplace of truly “planned” communities where every detail from roads and streets, sewers, property lines, and even schools, churches and shopping is all preplanned before the first shovel full of soil is turned. At its peak, a new home was being built every 16 minutes. Mostly unskilled labor was used, and each worker was trained to do one highly specific job that they applied house to house to house. What was the inspiration involved in this development that transformed American and eventually global living for millions of people?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Problems in Society295 views0 answers0 votesOne of the big complaints of living in the suburbs is the mind-numbing sameness and lack of diversity in architecture. Built with economies of scale in mind, and maximization of profits for the developers, simplicity of both design and materials was the rule. While this arguably made a modern lifestyle affordable for millions of people, it comes with a cost of existing in a kind of artificial conformity that seems less than truly divine. What is Creator’s perspective on this “cookie-cutter” approach to everyday living?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Problems in Society315 views0 answers0 votesOne thing that strikes the observer is how unnatural the suburbs are. In the vast majority of suburban developments, the land is cleared of vegetation ENTIRELY. Every last tree, every last shrub, and every last blade of natural grass is removed. In its place is the ubiquitous Kentucky Bluegrass ornamental lawn and evergreen shrubbery. What is the spiritual impact of living every day in such an artificial environment?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Problems in Society297 views0 answers0 votesAnd what about those lawns? We learned that plants do experience fear. That suggests that lawns represent a great deal of regularly scheduled trauma for the mowed grass surrounding almost every suburban home. Does this have any discernable adverse effect on the humans who live in the midst of this regularly scheduled carnage?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Problems in Society329 views0 answers0 votesMost indigenous peoples around the globe built simple dwellings that were more circular and curvy rather than squares and rectangles and hard corners. There is some belief that squared rooms and hard corners have deleterious and undesirable effects on the “energy” of the dwelling—that due to the harsh effect of hard 90 degree corners, energy cannot “flow” as it should, and becomes perturbed in ways that can actually be harmful to humans over time. Is this true? And if so, is the widespread use of straight lines and hard corners in modern construction a result of interloper manipulation?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Problems in Society337 views0 answers0 votesWhile there are more similarities than differences in suburban communities, some subdivisions take conformity to an almost “absurd” level. The HOA or Homeowners’ Association, while like many things had an arguably benign beginning, has for some communities become something akin to Nazi Germany or Soviet Russia. Everything from not mowing your lawn on time, to having the wrong flower arrangement on your porch, to even flying the American flag, can bring truly shocking levels of backlash. How did this come about, and how did karma play a role in luring some hapless homeowners into these truly “American Dream” nightmares?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Problems in Society324 views0 answers0 votesWhen we look at all of creation, we observe how much Creator values non-conformity. Every snowflake is unique, every grain of sand. Yet the dominant characteristic of the suburb is its stultifying conformity. One of the “outcomes” of suburban living is the widely observed phenomenon of “keeping up with the Joneses.” How much of this is repressed creativity wanting recognition, and how much is it a pursuit of power obsession that reveals the influence of the interlopers?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Problems in Society301 views0 answers0 votesAnother observed aspect of life in suburbia is how “lonely” it is. Even more so now than fifty years ago. People can live next door to each other, and almost NEVER even see each other. Lawn services have eliminated the need to be outside for landscape maintenance, and even garage door openers mean never having to use the front door or even be seen outside carrying groceries into the house. The days of borrowing a cup of sugar from your neighbor are all but over in most places now. Many people build their own swimming pools, and community pools have been suffering for years. Even within the house, kids are “blessed” with their own rooms, so they don’t even have to interact with their siblings and even parents that often. Can Creator comment on this?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Problems in Society360 views0 answers0 votesIt has been stated that as much as one-third of America’s richest farmland has been lost to suburbia or “urban sprawl.” This seems like an unrecognized yet extraordinary cost for the privilege of having to cut a quarter acre of grass every week. Couple that with the need to keep actual vegetable gardens inconspicuous in many such communities, and it seems there is something truly amiss in the American Dream of life in suburbia. What is Creator’s perspective on this, and what does this loss of arable land truly signify?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Problems in Society341 views0 answers0 votesThe typical suburban home is actually built for a nuclear family with at least two or more children. Yet we see some McMansions with thousands of square feet of living space, and five bedrooms and bathrooms, being owned and lived in by childless couples. At some level, this seems a bit insane. Yet it is almost becoming the norm now. The defense is that the home is not just a dwelling, but an investment. Contrast all these underutilized investments with the growing and overwhelming homeless problem in this country, and one standing back from it all has to think, “There must be a better way!” What is Creator’s perspective on all of this?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Problems in Society329 views0 answers0 votesCan Creator share how prayer work and the Lightworker Healing Protocol can help us create a better and more balanced collective future for all, that preserves some of the benefits of suburban living while mitigating and even eliminating most of its adverse effects?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Problems in Society332 views0 answers0 votesLoneliness is distress and sadness over being alone because one has no friends or company. People can become friendless and companionless for many reasons. Some of those reasons can be a result of choices made, and others a result of circumstances. Still, the consensus seems to be, that no one has a real excuse to be lonely. That if you’re lonely it’s somehow your fault because you made poor choices, you didn’t become someone people want to be around, you’re not interesting, or fun, etc. Some may even see it as a symptom of selfishness or even narcissism—too much focus on the needs and desires of the self, and not enough focus on the needs and desires of others. What is the divine perspective on loneliness and how much responsibility does the self have for this dilemma?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Problems in Society375 views0 answers0 votesHow much is loneliness a result of people isolating themselves as a result of fear of rejection? A more tolerable form of suffering than being overtly rejected when one reaches out to others for desired human contact and affection?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Problems in Society332 views0 answers0 votes
