There is a common saying, “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.” One supporting statement might be, “It seemed like a good idea at the time,” or, “They meant well.” So there is this phenomenon of the first impression or first assumption that is often assumed to be common sense. Can Creator comment on why a lot of bad ideas seem good or seem like no-brainers when first proposed?

Just so we’re clear, is it safe to assume that the phenomenon of even having a good intention is something that is unfortunately almost exclusively human now in terms of physical sentient species incarnated in the Milky Way Galaxy at this time? What can Creator tell us?

Most people have never heard of “The Cobra Effect.” The story goes that during the British Colonial Era in India, there were excessive cobras infesting one of India’s largest cities. In an attempt to deal with the problem, the British authorities decided to pay a bounty for every cobra killed and turned in to authorities. But ironically, the problem didn’t get “better,” it actually got worse. Why? Because some people started taking advantage of this bounty by actually breeding cobras. When the authorities found out about this, they abruptly ended the program. The result of which was that all these breeders released all their cobras, and the problem, in the end, was worse than ever. So The Cobra Effect is a kind of human folly with serious consequences. What is Creator’s perspective?

The Cobra Effect teaches us that good intentions can create perverse incentives. And then these incentives can undermine the good intentions that got the ball rolling, so to speak. We see the effects of this today with government farm subsidies. These came about during The Great Depression in the 1930s. Farmers were plagued with damaging surpluses because no one had money to buy the crops. This caused agricultural prices to crash to the extent that it could have endangered the nation’s food supply if it bankrupted every farmer. So as an interim solution, the government created a program to pay farmers NOT to grow crops. The only problem is, what was meant to be a temporary stopgap turned into a chronic entitlement, with no end in sight, even though it’s been nearly a century since they started. What is Creator’s perspective?

People who widely consider themselves good people with good intentions will take advantage of perverse incentives justifying it with the statement, “If I don’t do it, someone else will.” That, indeed, is usually the case, but is it a valid defense? This phenomenon of “good” people doing bad things because “everyone’s doing it” seems to be a common theme in this world. Is this just a flaw in the human makeup, or can it be blamed on interloper manipulation? What can Creator tell us?

Then there is the problem of placing a collective problem squarely on the shoulders of the individual because societal leaders neglect their duty to provide a solution. Disposable batteries and fluorescent light bulbs are a good example. Both are considered toxic waste and almost everyone knows that they should not be just dumped in landfills but disposed of through careful recycling and recovery of the toxic components. Yet, the responsibility for proper disposal is placed fully on the consumer. Doing the “proper disposal” often means a long drive, wait, and expense to take these items to designated recycling centers which, on top of that, often have limited collection hours available. The result is “good” people who regret tossing their batteries into the ordinary garbage do it anyway because doing it right is simply too expensive in time, effort, and money. And even though ostensibly illegal to do so, there is virtually no enforcement to actually punish anyone for improper disposal. What is Creator’s perspective and advice for concerned individuals wanting to do the right thing?

In the Bible, Matthew 7:13-14, Jesus says: “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” Is Jesus here referring to the dangers of “following the crowd” in taking advantage of perverse incentives because “everyone is doing it?” What is Jesus really saying here? What can Creator tell us?

It seems so much about being a good person involves resisting temptations and the urge to participate in a collective wrongdoing or evil, often initiated through good intentions. This is starkly demonstrated with the Kenosha, Wisconsin demonstrations a few years ago. Wanting to protect private property from vandalism is arguably a good intention, and wanting to protest excessive police behavior is also arguably a good intention, yet it ultimately led to a self-defense shooting that resulted in dead and permanently maimed protestors, and a young man who narrowly escaped going to prison for life and who will live with that event forever haunting him. What is Creator’s perspective?

What role does karma play when it comes to good people taking advantage of perverse incentives? Many have said that humans are an incentive-driven species perhaps more than good-intention-driven. Certainly, that can be said about the interlopers. In this discussion so far, we have not discussed bad-intention-driven actions that might create a good outcome. How much does karma take intention into account, versus what actually happens? Imagine a gang member on his way to murder a rival, who is ambushed and beaten but not killed. The one doing the beating becomes an unwitting hero of sorts. How does karma view this example? What can Creator tell us?

So much of being a good person appears to go way beyond having good intentions. And the saying, “The road to hell is paved with good intentions,” speaks to this. It appears there is simply no substitute for wisdom, and being able to successfully parse out likely results that run counter to good intentions and first impressions—BEFORE taking action. Because “An ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure,” how can Empowered Prayer, the Lightworker Healing Protocol, Deep Subconscious Mind Reset, and Divine Life Support help the good intentioned person successfully navigate the minefield of perverse incentives that are all too common in this world today?

How frequently are political figures selected and supported by the Extraterrestrial Alliance to enable them to rise to power, primarily because they are especially manipulable using mind control?
