Scott Peck M.D., bestselling author of The Road Less Traveled and who many regard as one of the important pioneers of the “self-help” genre, also wrote an important book titled The People of the Lie: The Hope for Healing Human Evil from which the questions for this show are derived. Dr. Peck wrote: “… for the past three hundred years there has been a profound separation between religion and science. This divorce – sometimes acrimonious, more often remarkably amicable – has decreed that the problem of evil should remain in the custody of religious thinkers. With few exceptions, scientists have not even sought visitation rights. If for no other reason than the fact that science is supposed to be value-free. The very word ‘evil’ requires an a priori value judgment. Hence it is not even permissible for a strictly value-free science to deal with the subject.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers215 views0 answers0 votesDr. Peck wrote: “Science has also steered clear of the problem of evil because of the immensity of the mystery involved. … (Scientists) prefer little mysteries to big ones.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers211 views0 answers0 votesDr. Peck wrote: “Evil is in opposition to life. It is that which opposes the life force. It has, in short, to do with killing … Murder is not abstract … Evil is also what kills spirit. There are various essential attributes to life – particularly human life – such as sentience, mobility, growth, autonomy, will. It is possible to kill or attempt to kill one of these attributes without actually destroying the body. Thus we may ‘break’ a horse or even a child. … Evil, then … is that force, residing either inside or outside of human beings, that seeks to kill life or liveliness. And goodness is its opposite.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers220 views0 answers0 votesDr. Peck had a teenage patient suffering from depression. His older brother had committed suicide with a 22 rifle a year earlier. For Christmas, his parents gave the patient the rifle his brother killed himself with. When Dr. Peck challenged the parents about the inappropriateness of the gift, the parents refused to acknowledge there was any problem with such a gift, claiming they were just simple, working people who can’t be expected to think like the doctor. They were not willing to examine and find fault with themselves at all. As a result, Dr. Peck diagnosed the boy’s depression as being the fault of the parents and threatened to call social services to get the boy to go live for an extended time with his aunt. He concluded the boy’s depression was actually healthy in this situation, and that the boy needed protection from his parents’ evil more than anything.

We may express this as a general law of child development: ‘Whenever there is a major deficit in parental love, the child will, in all likelihood, respond to that deficit by assuming itself to be the cause of the deficit, thereby developing an unrealistically negative self-image.’ … When a child is grossly confronted by significant evil in its parents, it will most likely misinterpret the situation and believe the evil resides in itself.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers201 views0 answers0 votesDr. Peck wrote, “… evil people, refusing to acknowledge their own failures, actually desire to project their evil onto others.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers178 views0 answers0 votesDr. Peck wrote, “… the sicker the patients – the more dishonest in their behavior and distorted in their thinking – the less able we are to help them with any degree of success. When they are very distorted and dishonest, it seems impossible.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers177 views0 answers0 votesDr. Peck wrote, “The feeling that a healthy person often experiences in a relationship with an evil one is revulsion. … The feeling of revulsion can be extremely useful to a therapist. It can be a diagnostic tool par excellence. … Evil is revolting because it is dangerous. The revulsion countertransference is an instinctive or, if you will, God-given and saving early warning radar system.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers183 views0 answers0 votesDr. Peck wrote, “… while evil people are still to be feared, they are also to be pitied. Forever fleeing from the light of self-exposure and the voice of their conscience, they are the most frightened of human beings. They live their lives in sheer terror. They need not be consigned to any hell. They are already in it.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers185 views0 answers0 votesDr. Peck wrote, “… very few evil people are willing to be psychotherapy clients in the first place. Except under extraordinary circumstances, they will do everything possible to flee the light-shedding process of therapy. So it has been difficult for psychotherapists to get together with evil people long enough to study them or their reactions.” What this observation really tells us, is that we are literally “out of our league” when it comes to solving the problem of evil. We need “outside” assistance to solve this problem, and that assistance can come only in the form of partnership with the divine. Can Creator share with us how Empowered Prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol are truly the only tools in our toolbox we can use to truly fix the problem of evil in humanity, and even the rest of all creation?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers174 views0 answers0 votesIn a recent radio show on Academic Gatekeeping, Creator shared this, “The reality is the biggest part of the mind is unreachable to conscious awareness or even ordinary hypnotic trance procedures.” Can Creator expand on the use of the word “ordinary” in this context? Dr. Milton H. Erickson was no “ordinary” hypnotist. Did ANY of his techniques and methodologies reach and/or influence the deep subconscious, even though he certainly had no complete appreciation of the true reality and nature of what it was he was interacting with?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Subconscious Mind200 views0 answers0 votesMilton Erickson spent a day in 1950 at the home of Aldous Huxley. Huxley is the celebrated author of A Brave New World. Huxley did a form of self-hypnosis he called “Deep Reflection.” On that day Erickson and Huxley did some remarkable consciousness explorations. The two men had agreed to jointly publish a collaborative work on their findings. A decade passed, and Erickson was looking to bring the collaborative project to fruition when disaster struck. Huxley lost his home and all his notes and manuscripts in the great Bel-Air, California fire of 1961. Afterward, Huxley informed Erickson that he would not resume their collaboration—the loss was too great. What’s the story behind this disaster, and was Huxley specifically targeted with a backlash for his life’s work?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Subconscious Mind214 views0 answers0 votesThe word “somnambulist” is the label for sleepwalkers. Erickson and other hypnotists use the word to also describe a person who enters a trance state from which they emerge with full amnesia (a total forgetting) of the trance, and everything that occurred during it, just like sleepwalkers when they awaken. Can Creator share with us what’s behind sleepwalking and why it affects some people but not others?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Subconscious Mind218 views0 answers0 votesSome people even go into a somnambulistic trance when driving and report that hours can pass by without their conscious awareness or any recollection of the drive itself. Yet they safely reach their destination, as if by “magic.” The other day, Brian was driving his daughter home and engaged in a conversation with her. Suddenly he found himself on a familiar street going in a direction away from his destination. Brian realized he had no recollection of making the necessary right-hand turn to get on that street. He had a full amnesia of it. This was the first time in his entire life, that he vividly experienced this phenomenon with full recognition of the implications. Was this orchestrated to happen? What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Subconscious Mind207 views0 answers0 votesIt appears the conscious or “awake” mind can focus on only one task at a time. For instance, the conscious mind cannot read a book and do a counting exercise at the same time. Yet when hypnotized to the somnambulistic level (the level that results in amnesia upon awakening), this ability to multitask has been readily demonstrated. Can Creator explain why this is so, and what levels of the mind are participating?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Subconscious Mind196 views0 answers0 votes
