When did that become a “thing?” You hardly get a chance to become familiar with the current inventory before it’s all swept away and replaced by the “new models.” Wouldn’t a MODEL DECADE make more sense, especially when you consider how much things like tooling costs? Again, it seems incredibly wasteful to spend so much time and energy changing EVERYTHING. It’s exhausting and even disorienting. Not to mention trying to keep any of these items working beyond the warranty. Parts are in limited supply, and many items are now being made to be “non-repairable” and disposable, cell phones being a prime example. Do I really need a new phone EVERY YEAR? And nowadays the new stuff is noticeably inferior to the stuff it’s replacing. But people just assume all this is natural and inevitable. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 weeks ago • Problems in Society49 views0 answers0 votesWhen someone thinks of culture and tradition, the things that come to mind are consistency, predictability, longevity, and expectation of continuance. Christmas decorations were something you bought ONCE and reused year after year. Only the tree changed every year, but it was always the same kind of tree, the same size, and was always in the same corner. But traditions of any kind seem to be an endangered species in the Modern Era, to the point where many are even derided. Thanksgiving is more about football than being thankful. Memorial Day is for barbeque and beer, not visiting the gravesides of the fallen. It’s “Happy Holidays!” not “Merry Christmas!” The home-cooked meal is now in a microwave package. There are young adults who have never boiled an egg or even made toast. And again, many just assume and will even argue that all this is normal and inevitable. Really? All of human history seems to suggest otherwise. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 weeks ago • Problems in Society51 views0 answers0 votesGiven such a large number of chronic maladies, including the two leading causes of death, are caused by chronic viral infection, does this help explain why your creation of humanity and the Earth as a “loving nest” is so often a challenge or even a disappointment because so many suffer?ClosedNicola asked 4 months ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers112 views0 answers0 votesThe accolades and lopsided rewards for the ultra-successful overshadow many millions of arguably equally talented and hard-working musicians that lead relatively Spartan lives in comparison. The stereotype of the “starving artist” certainly applies to journeyman musicians as it does to any other creative profession. There are songs out there as beautiful and uplifting as anything the Beatles or Mozart ever created, yet may never have a bigger audience than a few hundred people. What is the karmic “reward” for such music, that suffers only from lack of exposure?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Karma259 views0 answers0 votesWhen we create karmic underpinnings, we are impinging on and shaping energy. When one listens to a familiar song that makes them feel good, is that an active and ongoing “karmic shaping” taking place? Is Mozart still earning good karma every time a modern person is swooned by one of his concertos?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Karma216 views0 answers0 votesWe have focused on the karmic ramifications for songwriters, but what about for song listeners? Is listening to enjoyable music a “karmic action” that will build future karmic rewards for the listener?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Karma241 views0 answers0 votesThe Traveling Wilburys was a dream band of former Beatle George Harrison and had some of the biggest names in the modern history of pop music. In the same band, there was arguably the best lyricist (Bob Dylan) with the best vocalist (Roy Orbison) and the best producer (Jeff Lynne). The fact even one of them could find time in their schedule was miraculous, much less all of them. All of them without exception effused about how truly wonderful the whole experience was, how all were friends, how all worked together seamlessly and without friction or jealousy, and how nearly all considered it one of the greatest if not the greatest thing they ever participated in. And these were all ultra-successful musicians—titans of the industry. The first album went triple platinum. It was literally a tsunami of good karma and a miraculous coming together rarely seen in this world. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Karma247 views0 answers0 votesThere is a widespread mythology about “Pearly Gates” that mark the entrance to “heaven.” Can Creator share where this notion came from, and what lessons we might draw from it?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Divine Realm425 views0 answers0 votesThe Earth has an incredible diversity of mineral resources. We know the Anunnaki mined gold here because of the habitable atmosphere, and relatively easy access to large quantities which is likely rare throughout the galaxy. If so, why indeed did Earth possess so much mineral gold? As well other valuable mineral resources?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers375 views0 answers0 votesHow complete is our periodic table? How much bigger percentage-wise is the Extraterrestrial Alliance periodic table?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers362 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “Rational Thought is the one aspect of consciousness widely held to separate predominantly intelligent species from predominantly instinctual ones. Is it safe to say that rational thought is actually a creative thought process engaged in novel problem solving (novel for the being doing the problem solving) versus conditioned response (via instinct or behavioral modification perhaps)? The former is viewed as a predominately conscious, self-aware activity, while the latter is viewed as a predominantly unconscious activity lacking or at least not requiring self-awareness. How would Creator characterize this distinction in consciousness? What are we missing?”ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Limiting Beliefs316 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “Observing humanity, a large spectrum is on display. From people who seem to operate mostly from conditioned responses, to those who truly seem to actively analyze everything around them consciously, enabling them to respond in novel unconventional ways that can be unpredictable and surprisingly effective (at least from the perspective of others). Emerson said, “foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.” Those who operate largely out of conditioning will struggle to find novel solutions to unanticipated and vexing problems, and rather, will keep applying the same conditioned response over and over again in spite of its continued failure or poor performance. With this postulate, how does Creator explain the difference in these two approaches to problem solving?”ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Limiting Beliefs321 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “Rational thought appears to have a lot of enemies or potential obstacles or impairments to overcome. Karmic energy is clearly one of them. (As recognized in Creator’s recent revelation that “karma” was the cause of my complacency and feelings of futility when failing to act on my raccoon problem in a timely and rational fashion.) Fear of failure, and harsh judgment, and penalties is clearly another obstacle (which can all be heightened by karma created from past failures – including past life failures). Strong negative belief is yet another potential barrier (which also can be reinforced by karma). Then there are the physical, energetic barriers: fatigue, poor cognitive memory, lack of spatial discernment, dyslexia, etc. Rational thought has a LOT to overcome. Can Creator comment on why the deck is so stacked?”ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Limiting Beliefs315 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “While consciousness in the light has fewer barriers to rational thought, there must be some, otherwise, how could there ever have been fallen angels? Even though emotion is likely more balanced in the light because there are no “secrets,” and therefore fewer opportunities for misunderstandings, nevertheless, if a being decides that it does not “care” what fellow beings think and feel—all the while knowing of their consternation and disapproval, is that the beginning of their fall? Becoming a disease of the conscience? Where one continues to provoke suffering in others while having full knowledge and discernment of the suffering being caused, yet not caring? Did fallen angels discover through trial and error early on that being troublemakers was FUN. Can Creator comment on this problematic linkage between depravity, bullying and fun? Is the feeling of fun or deep satisfying pleasure partially a byproduct of life energy absorption stolen from the victims? And is an addiction to this rush of pleasure the principal fuel of the fall from the divine realm?”ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Limiting Beliefs385 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “Another barrier to rational thought I would characterize as “entitlement belief” regardless of its genesis, and “expectation and anticipation equity.” Having just done a sports show, this is conveniently illustrated by the fan experience. Fans are not direct stakeholders in a sports franchise. They don’t own the team, the intellectual property, trademarks, the stadium, or anything of a tangible nature. They even have to PAY to consume the product, buy tickets, pay for parking, or suffer through commercials on television when watching a sports event. Yet, fans everywhere feel ENTITLED. They feel the team “owes” them something in exchange for the INVESTMENT the fan has made with them. And the more time the fan has spent being a fan for a particular team, the MORE they feel they are owed.”ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Limiting Beliefs303 views0 answers0 votes
