This is the summary from Wikipedia: “In early August 1943, Lieutenant General George S. Patton slapped two United States Army soldiers under his command … Patton’s hard-driving personality and lack of belief in the medical condition of combat stress reaction, then known as “battle fatigue” or “shell shock,” led to the soldiers’ becoming the subject of his ire in incidents on August 3 and 10, when Patton struck and berated them (in front of other wounded soldiers and medical personnel) after discovering they were patients at evacuation hospitals away from the front lines without apparent physical injuries.” Here is a directive sent to the officers of his command: “It has come to my attention that a very small number of soldiers are going to the hospital on the pretext that they are nervously incapable of combat. Such men are cowards and bring discredit on the army and disgrace to their comrades, whom they heartlessly leave to endure the dangers of battle while they, themselves, use the hospital as a means of escape. You will take measures to see that such cases are not sent to the hospital but dealt with in their units. Those who are not willing to fight will be tried by court-martial for cowardice in the face of the enemy.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 months ago • Karma50 views0 answers0 votesPatton frequently claimed that he “hated war.” But almost nobody believed him. Such a statement seemed to violate almost everything anyone ever witnessed about his leadership. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 months ago • Karma45 views0 answers0 votesBoth Patton and General Douglas MacArthur were considered Prima Donnas. Google defines prima donna as, “A very temperamental person with an inflated view of their own talent or importance.” Or, “Anyone who acted as if they were a world-famous talent.” But the irony is they were, indeed, “world-famous talents.” They were two of the most effective and successful combat leaders the world has EVER known. Yet many observers considered them “arrogant pretenders” nevertheless, and despised them for being so. Is this an example of “faking it ’til you make it,” and how much of this behavior was engaged in fully for “effect” but did not, in fact, reflect the men privately? What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 months ago • Karma46 views0 answers0 votesGeneral MacArthur used to frequently, and many would say recklessly, expose himself to danger in areas with known snipers. In one incident he actually stared out of a window at a sniper training his rifle at him from another building across the street. He then “casually” turned and walked away from the window a split second before a bullet came through the window aimed at him. When asked later about the behavior, he claimed he liked to “test his timing.” This behavior drove his subordinates “nuts.” Yet MacArthur survived the entirety of the war in his early sixties and without so much as a scratch. Patton behaved similarly and also survived the war, only to have his neck broken in the slightest of fender benders. What is Creator’s perspective on this behavior?ClosedNicola asked 2 months ago • Karma65 views0 answers0 votesA lot of terrible and deeply evil figures in history were also prima donnas. So it’s completely understandable that such figures are deeply distrusted. Where does one parse out the positive example versus the arrogant threat? What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 2 months ago • Karma50 views0 answers0 votesWhat is Creator’s perspective on “combat stress reaction” or “battle fatigue?” So much of GetWisdom has been dedicated to healing historic trauma the deep subconscious reacts to, as this is understood to be the primary culprit behind MOST of our negative karmic issues and even the rise of evil itself in the galaxy. Yet trauma doesn’t have to be deep and can be right in your face, such as experienced by the soldiers Patton slapped (assuming their distress was quite real, and they were not faking it). Fleeing combat by any means certainly aligns with the karmic and divine imperative to protect oneself, but at the cost of abandoning their duty and comrades, not to mention setting an abysmal example of how to comport oneself in the face of danger. What is Creator’s perspective on this dilemma?ClosedNicola asked 2 months ago • Karma52 views0 answers0 votesThe word “coward” has come to acquire a deeply negative connotation, so much so that it has fallen out of popular use almost entirely, and anyone attempting to use it faces significant backlash, both privately and especially publicly. And the word “brave” is being liberally used to praise victims and laud behavior that seems to lack any evidence, much less significant evidence, of the recipient actually having stood strong against a dilemma. Today there are certainly people who would call Patton a bully and the battle fatigue suffering soldiers he slapped brave, for merely being on the receiving end of his “despicable tirade.” What is Creator’s perspective on the abandonment of the word “coward” and the accompanying neutering of the word “brave,” a word that used to be reserved ONLY to describe one who displayed SIGNIFICANT evidence of having “stood strong?”ClosedNicola asked 2 months ago • Karma44 views0 answers0 votesPatton’s slapping incidents became publicly known when journalist Drew Pearson broke the story on his national radio show. Wikipedia reports: “Pearson’s version not only conflated details of both slapping incidents but falsely reported that the private in question was visibly “out of his head,” telling Patton to “duck down or the shells would hit him,” and that in response, “Patton struck the soldier, knocking him down.” Pearson punctuated his broadcast by twice stating that Patton would never again be used in combat, despite the fact that Pearson had no factual basis for this prediction.” The Allied Command, and especially General Eisenhower, deemed Patton critical to the war effort, and this publicity complicated things enormously. That the media tends to conflate things is taken for granted these days. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 months ago • Karma41 views0 answers0 votesJust as things are today, the public was deeply divided over the slapping incidents. So much so, it was said it was the “slap heard round the world.” Half the population defended Patton and the other half demanded his firing. This shows the divide between the application of discipline versus the application of compassion. It is widely assumed that the two are diametric opposites but is that truly the case? What did those soldiers need most—a slap or a hug? What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 months ago • Karma47 views0 answers0 votesTrauma is highly problematic, whether deeply buried or in your face. How can Empowered Prayer, the Lightworker Healing Protocol, Deep Subconscious Mind Reset, and Divine Life Support heal historic trauma, and also help the recipient to “stand strong” when that approach to a dilemma is the most advised and perhaps wisest course of action?ClosedNicola asked 2 months ago • Karma51 views0 answers0 votesCan Creator tell us if there is any correlation between the amount of karmic backlog, recorded trauma still resounding in the depths, and what we might call the “courage capacity” or strength of the individual? Without courage or strength, there would likely be an ongoing desperate effort to avoid having to deal with, endure, and cope with the return of karmic comeuppances. This habitual avoidance of “facing one’s fears” would seem to only worsen the dilemma, ultimately, as the individual sacrifices long-term growth for short-term shelter and safety. Can Creator tell us how much this avoidance of difficulty serves the interloper agenda to reduce our intuitive reach?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Channeling Pitfalls229 views0 answers0 votesCastor wrote describing, “… the plight of the whole kingdom. Across great swathes of France, the oppressive and violent reality of armies moving through the countryside, of battles and sieges, pillage and plunder, had left scorched earth, torched homes, and lives and livelihoods destroyed.” These were clearly the conditions that Joan’s mission life was conceived to resolve. Was it the prayers of the common people of France, a deeply religious and Christian nation, that enabled the divine to intervene in the form of Joan “The Maid?”ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers157 views0 answers0 votesJoan’s was not the only “mission life” on display in these times. The king she was commissioned to support and see coronated, clearly had a mission life to bring France’s suffering to an end. Castor wrote, “The dauphin (heir apparent to the throne of France) – whose daily routine included two or sometimes even three masses, so unstinting was his devotion.” How important were the dauphin’s own prayers in bringing about the divine intervention in the form of Joan “The Maid,” that would see his mission of unifying France and ending the Hundred Years War truly fulfilled in his lifetime? What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers165 views0 answers0 votesJoan wrote to the English, “You will never hold the kingdom of France from God, the king of heaven, holy Mary’s son; but King Charles will hold it, the true heir, because God, the king of heaven, wishes it.” But is this literally true? Creator has told us time and again that this is humanity’s world, and that no divine intervention can happen without human intention for it to be so. So can Creator explain how and even if Joan’s common notion of “God’s will” can be understood in the context of Creator’s modern teachings that humans really are in charge here?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers217 views0 answers0 votesDivine favor was seemingly on display in the battles leading up to the king’s coronation. Castor wrote, “The troops were almost in place when suddenly a stag (male deer) erupted out of the woods and plunged into the English ranks, precipitating a great shout of confusion and fear just at the moment when advance riders from the French forces were approaching within earshot. The animal had given away the English position before (the) archers had finished planting their sharpened stakes in the ground and making ready their bows.” The result was the complete rout of the English forces. Was the appearance of the stag divine intervention, or was it karma, or both?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers166 views0 answers0 votes
