Rabbit feet as talismans may hark back to early Celtic tribes in Britain. They may also arise from hoodoo, a form of African American folk magic and superstition that blends Native American, European and African tradition.” Can Creator tell us how this superstition came about, and if there is an actual reality to it?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs219 views0 answers0 votes“Bad luck comes in threes.” But then so does good luck as the “hat trick” in hockey celebrates. Pappas writes: “Remember confirmation bias? The belief that bad luck comes in threes is a classic example. A couple of things go wrong, and believers may start to look for the next bit of bad luck. A lost shoe might be forgotten one day, but seen as the third in a series of bad breaks the next.” What is Creator’s perspective on “bad luck comes in threes?”ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs263 views0 answers0 votesPappas writes: “According to folklore, breaking a mirror is a surefire way to doom yourself to seven years of bad luck. The superstition seems to arise from the belief that mirrors don’t just reflect your image; they hold bits of your soul. That belief led people in the old days of the American South to cover mirrors in a house when someone died, lest their soul be trapped inside.” What can Creator tell us about mirrors and the widespread belief in their hazards?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs247 views0 answers0 votes“Knock on wood.” Pappas writes, “This phrase is almost like a verbal talisman, designed to ward off bad luck after tempting fate: ‘Breaking that mirror didn’t bring me any trouble, knock on wood.’ The fixation on wood may come from old myths about good spirits in trees or from an association with the Christian cross. Similar phrases abound in multiple languages, suggesting that the desire not to upset a spiteful universe is very common.” What can Creator tell us about “knocking on wood?”ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs241 views0 answers0 votes“Cross your fingers.” Pappas writes: “Those wishing for luck will often cross one finger over another, a gesture that’s said to date back to early Christianity. The story goes that two people used to cross index fingers when making a wish, a symbol of support from a friend to the person making the wish. (Anything associated with the shape of the Christian cross was thought to be good luck.) The tradition gradually became something people could do on their own.” What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs202 views0 answers0 votes“Throwing salt over your shoulder.” Salt is thought to create a spiritual barrier that evil spirits cannot cross, or find difficult to cross. Many magicians and sorcerers use it to create “magic circles” with the thought that if they stay inside, they will be protected from the very demons they conjure. What can Creator tell us about the spiritual properties of salt, if any?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs260 views0 answers0 votes“Don’t step on a crack!” This is from artsandculture.google.com, an article entitled 18 Superstitions from Around the World: “As with mirrors, cracks—in the earth, on a sidewalk, or almost anywhere—have long been seen as portals to the realm of the supernatural, for both good and ill. To step on those cracks might be to invite or release unwelcome spirits into the world ready to do one harm.” What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs203 views0 answers0 votesSuperstitions may seem silly and innocuous at first glance, but some people worry about them a great deal. Some to the point of having genuine panic attacks if they discover they violated one. How does someone get in this state? Does subconscious mind control contribute? What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs266 views0 answers0 votesEastern Europeans, it seems, have a much longer list of superstitions that concern them than those of the West. Does the fact these countries have been war-torn and decidedly less free have anything to do with this? A woman who came here from Ukraine twenty years ago, won’t use leftovers “because it’s pig food” even though she no longer has a pig, so leftovers end up in the garbage. She worries about knives left out because they foment discord when unsheathed. And anything used she purchases she leaves outside for “cleansing,” regardless of whether rain is in the forecast or not. As a result, more garbage is created when it inevitably rains. Yet there is simply no talking her out of any of these worries or practices. What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs226 views0 answers0 votesA great many superstitions seem to revolve around an obsession with evil, and warding it off, especially. Can Creator share with us how Empowered Prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol will do more to protect you and your loved ones than slavish adherence to timeworn superstitions, even and especially if there is something to them?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs284 views0 answers0 votesPlease clarify: “Can channeling one’s higher self, or someone else’s, require use of Creator’s translator or can it be done by many people, particularly if they have experience channeling the deep subconscious, or dark spirits, and have the necessary confidence and belief quotient?”ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Channeling Pitfalls233 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “A visual kept intruding on my thoughts while I was trying to enjoy a TV show with my husband. The visual was that of a person, tied with rope, hanging upside down or right side up, with long strips of skin, cut in the shape of very long rectangles, like long strips of Wrigley’s chewing gum maybe, hanging off the body—no movement. The strips were still attached to the body. They were not entirely cut off. Why am I entertaining this thought? I force myself to concentrate on the TV show instead. The following morning, in a GetWisdom chat room this very specific trauma was being discussed along with a drawing depicting the trauma. (The image depicted the person laying down. I saw the person hanging). Of all traumas, this one. Was my subconscious mind or higher self looking at the akashic records without meaning to? Was this a simple coincidence? Because I know the author of this chat topic, was my mind picking up on something he was going to talk about the following morning?” What can we tell her?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Non-Local Consciousness238 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “When I look at the akashic records, as far as I can tell, whatever I look at feels like it’s something that happened to me. Even if it was someone else. I can’t tell the difference. It’s the only way I seem to be able to read the accounting of things that have occurred. And so far, never on purpose. It just happens. Is this the only way the akashic records can be read; looked at; understood? Are “reading” and “experiencing” the same thing at the akashic records?”ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Non-Local Consciousness218 views0 answers0 votesA channeler asks: “Is there something I can read about Creator’s translator and the mechanism of that? I’ve never understood it nor ever encountered the concept prior to meeting you.” Can you explain for future reference what Creator’s translator is and how it works, in contrast to telepathic communications?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Channeling Pitfalls246 views0 answers1 votesA channeler asks: “What is considered channeling? Does it have to be higher-level, as through Creator’s translator, and the capability pre-planned in the light prior to incarnating? Or is contacting the Deep Subconscious without Creator also considered channeling?”ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Channeling Pitfalls203 views0 answers0 votes
