If a learned skill, how is that skill transferred from lifetime to lifetime? Is it recorded in the akashic records and made part of cellular memory during the fetus’s formation? Or is it something wholly spiritual in nature, retained by the spirit itself, and if one learns the power of persuasion while incarnated, are their newly discovered persuasive powers on display in the light between lives as genuine learning? What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 4 weeks ago • Limiting Beliefs56 views0 answers0 votesPersuasion is the power to effect CHANGE or perhaps prevent change. And even though there is a distinction made between persuasion and compulsion, the threat of compulsion can, in and of itself, be HIGHLY persuasive. The iconic fire and brimstone sermons delivered with great theatrics by eloquent ministers comes to mind. A “fear monger” or one who “peddles fear” also comes to mind. What is Creator’s perspective of persuasion AS compulsion?ClosedNicola asked 4 weeks ago • Limiting Beliefs101 views0 answers0 votesIt’s interesting to note that the iconic “snake oil salesman” never had a storefront, like a pharmacy, but instead pulled into the town square with his wagon and hawked his magical products directly to the crowds, and then often “hightailed it” to the next town before the truth of his products became more widely known. Google defined snake oil salesmen as those who deceived people in order to get money from them. The successful ones were highly persuasive people. When one has such ability, it seems so puzzling that such a person could not find a “legitimate” avenue in which to practice those skills and be successful without all the ignominy. Good salespeople are in demand everywhere and for everything—why resort to fraud? What can Creator tell us about exploiting the masterful use of persuasion to willfully engage in fraud?ClosedNicola asked 4 weeks ago • Limiting Beliefs82 views0 answers0 votesWhen one does a study of some of the most effective salespeople, one often encounters a mixed bag of ethically questionable tactics. One extremely successful car salesman would sit down with a phone book, call people and tell them their new car was ready for pickup. When people inevitably said, “I didn’t order a car,” he would profusely apologize and then immediately segue into asking them if they were at all in the market for a new car. With this approach, he made a fortune and set the world record at the time for most non-fleet sales made by a car salesman “one customer at a time.” Now to his credit, he was extremely likable, attentive, thorough, and did great customer service, sent birthday cards to his customers, etc. Nevertheless, a lot of his success was predicated on a lie and deception. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 4 weeks ago • Limiting Beliefs44 views0 answers0 votesIn reference to the above car salesman’s success, he was successful because he was good at “cold calling” which most people have a deep aversion to. Cold calling is one of the most obvious breaches of the “Golden Rule” there is. Almost everyone HATES getting cold calls, and yet most successful salespeople will assert that you need to do it in order to be successful. Brian remembers one “boiler room” telephone canvasser who bragged how she abused anyone cold calling her but had no problem doing cold calling for a living. The stark hypocrisy was dramatic and utterly remorseless and unapologetic. She literally thought it was “hilarious” and laughed about it. Brian found it disturbing, to say the least. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 4 weeks ago • Limiting Beliefs64 views0 answers0 votesCold calling works precisely because so many people have an aversion to doing it. That alone makes it a successful strategy for those who can bring themselves to do it. Brian did sales in the late 80s and struggled with this dilemma. A rule of thumb is it takes 10 calls to get a lead, 10 leads to get an appointment, and 10 appointments to get a sale. Brian demonstrated to himself that, indeed, the formula works and managed to get a house listing as a result. But rather than being encouraged by his success, he was so overcome with guilt about disturbing people eating dinner that he eventually abandoned sales as a career altogether. Cold calling cannot work if everyone does it. Everyone’s phone would ring all day long and it would be utterly chaotic and untenable. There is the idea that, if “everyone” can’t, then maybe no one “should?” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 4 weeks ago • Limiting Beliefs112 views0 answers0 votesAnother successful sales guru made a fortune selling heavy stainless steel cookware door to door. (A direct form of cold calling that predates the telephone). He frequently recounted one sale he made where the woman initially slammed the front door on him and, in response, he went around to the back door to apologize for knocking on the front door. He was so charming and disarming, that the woman felt bad about mistreating him and consented to listening to his presentation as a way to make amends. She ended up buying the very expensive cookware he was selling. We are confronted with the dilemma of his apology being “insincere,” because he certainly felt no remorse about knocking on her front door at all, much less her back door after she made it clear she didn’t want to interact with him. What is Creator’s perspective on this anecdote, and what positive and negative divine lessons can we learn from it?ClosedNicola asked 4 weeks ago • Limiting Beliefs46 views0 answers0 votes“Breaking the ice” is a phrase in common usage. The online Free Dictionary defines the term this way: “To do something as a means of reducing or eliminating shyness, awkward tension, or unfamiliarity.” So much of persuasion founders on this “iceberg” that the term is quite an ingenious summation of a common problem requiring great skill to master. When someone knows or learns how to “break the ice” effectively, the world is literally their oyster. This is clearly a very important “art of living” skill and lesson that so many people would benefit from mastering but struggle with intensely. What divine insight can Creator share about this common dilemma and challenge?ClosedNicola asked 4 weeks ago • Limiting Beliefs50 views0 answers0 votesLike so many things dragging us down in this world, an inability to master the art of persuasion has to be up there pretty high on the list. How much of this is a deep healing need requiring divine intervention to resolve? How can Empowered Prayer, the Lightworker Healing Protocol, Deep Subconscious Mind Reset, and Divine Life Support help to heal the barriers to becoming a persuasive individual? How can divine partnership ensure that the power of persuasion is used to uplift rather than abuse?ClosedNicola asked 4 weeks ago • Limiting Beliefs42 views0 answers0 votesYou told us about alien time travel: “This is also another reason for the relentless speeding up of the pace of things; it is because they want so many reiterations of the current timeline to keep changing the future for the sake of variety and bringing about greater misery in a kind of perverse negative optimization of your destiny.” Is this alluding to the feeling so many have about time speeding up as they get older? Are the interlopers actually speeding up time to get everything they want changed to be accomplished more quickly?ClosedNicola asked 4 months ago • Metaphysics111 views0 answers0 votesA practitioner asks: “Can Creator please explain more specifically how the negative effects caused by the extraterrestrial time traveling shenanigans are actually experienced by humans who are forced to involuntarily relive or re-experience traumas? Do the negative effects initially occur only through a modification of the akashic records, themselves, by rekindling the negative karmic implications of those relived karmic events? If so, then does that rekindling then put humans at risk for experiencing the same kind of event in their current lifetime—for example, if a person was murdered along the way during the original time period to be re-lived through time travel, will they then become likely to be murdered again during the repeat of that time segment?” What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 4 months ago • Metaphysics93 views0 answers0 votesA viewer sent me a video of a dog that sleeps in a Faraday cage and only leaves to eat and eliminate, but then returns to spend it’s time there. Is it sensing dangerous electromagnetic frequencies or other energies which are blocked by this “safe haven?”ClosedNicola asked 2 months ago • Animal Issues116 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “I am curious about what Creator says regarding Netanyahu and how his administration has now been accused of perpetuating a genocide against the people of Gaza. It has been verified by Amnesty International and the ICC. What are the spiritual consequences for Israel and for Netanyahu? A one-state solution is the only option, but how can it be when Israel has created essentially an apartheid state and caused so much suffering, especially in recent months? Are these two people karmically connected somehow?” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 months ago • Extraterrestrial Corruption of Human Institutions126 views0 answers0 votesWhen the extraterrestrials travel into the future to help them plan their manipulations to better ensure a desired outcome, are the consequences different from their traveling into the past? Instead of stopping the present, does the entire Galaxy continue as before? Are such journeys into the future just for observation and without the need to change anything? Can you give us a tutorial to help us understand how their future time travel affects us?ClosedNicola asked 4 months ago • Metaphysics212 views0 answers0 votesPrior to the recent agreement to withdraw after the Disclosure Event and take a break from their endless manipulations of our planet and everything on it, has it been a kind of free-for-all, where many individuals can come and take a turn, perhaps competing amongst their brethren to see who can be most clever, most destructive, most innovative, and so on? Or is there an agreed on main agenda where all must follow an approved set of guidelines and goals? There have been at least a couple major motion pictures having a futuristic theme where people can use an advanced technology to journey to an artificial world and adopt a persona to have lifelike experiences for fun and relaxation, or challenge and excitement. One was Westworld, depicting people going back to the old West to take on gunslingers, and more recently, the movie Total Recall, where people could pay to have a vacation in their mind that was totally lifelike. Both movies showed a dark side in having an unexpected blending with reality. This was also a theme used many times in the Star Trek franchise, in having spaceships with a Holodeck that future explorers could visit during long voyages as a lifelike experiencing of other worlds and plotlines for fun and learning opportunities. Are these a kind of inversion of what the extraterrestrials do in visiting our world, coming to participate as observers who can manipulate us, in reality, to act out their fantasies and darkest thoughts for amusement and gratification, but without taking any risk themselves?ClosedNicola asked 4 months ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers201 views0 answers0 votes
