The Oxford Dictionary defines shame as both a feeling and an action, “a painful feeling of humiliation or distress caused by the consciousness of wrong or foolish behavior,” as well as, to “make (someone) feel ashamed.” Shame is a feeling nearly everyone everywhere tries to avoid, with the irony being that those most vulnerable to criticism are the ones most prone to overindulge in attempting to elicit that feeling in others. In some ways the dichotomy of shame is perhaps the most profound of hypocrisy litmus tests there is.

If that term is unfamiliar to you, it is worth your time to get familiar with what it really means. Ivan Pavlov demonstrated a “conditioned response” in the dogs he used for experimentation. Some of these experiments were quite cruel and involved electric shocks to impair or elicit both involuntary physiological as well as behavioral responses. The act of shaming is actually a very similar paradigm, and it’s easy to imagine the one doing the shaming as having an electric shock button that they press to deliver a very uncomfortable at best, and excruciatingly painful at worst, emotional shock to the recipient’s consciousness.

An acquaintance has a five-year-old beagle who has an undesirable habit of urinating on the hardwood floor if not put outside on a timely basis. The dog has been trained entirely through rewards and only verbal shaming as punishment. But the effect of shaming can be quite profound. The dog knows that urinating inside the house is undesirable behavior and displeasing to the humans in the house, so the dog makes sure no one is watching when she goes. As an adult dog, she has never been caught in the act. One recent morning this acquaintance found the all too familiar puddle on the floor and turned to the dog right behind them, pointed to the puddle, and said, “No,” just, “No.” Not loud or even conveying much in the way of emotion, just enough to communicate displeasure. The response of the dog was rather extreme—tail between her legs and she wandered off to hide under the raised footrest of a recliner for a few minutes “until the coast was clear.” The acquaintance was a bit “taken aback” at the profound effect of a simple, “No.” This person does not shame the dog very often, and that may be one explanation for the exaggerated effect.

In fact, the very existence of this phenomenon is one of the most persuasive arguments there is for the existence of the divine. It’s hard to take the “conscience” for granted. Unfortunately, we have learned that the feeling of shame is a rather crude form of messaging that can be delivered from multiple sources, some benevolent and some malevolent. Presumably, it can come from the higher self, guides and guardians, and even Creator. It can also be triggered by the deep subconscious, cellular memory, spirit attachments, and perhaps most alarmingly of all, the interlopers—fallen angelics and extraterrestrials. Figuring out both the origin and relevancy of feelings of shame is one of the most profound challenges every human being faces.

The negative effect of all this is that people eventually get cynical about all political discourse and will shy away from it altogether. It’s even more discouraging when the ones doing the most shaming are also the most hypocritical, and the most guilty of the behavior they are shaming the other side for.

The middle finger salute came about as it was common practice in the Middle Ages to cut off the middle finger of captured soldiers, as this finger was necessary for effective archery. Soldiers would come to taunt their enemies by showing them from across the battlefield that they still had their middle fingers. Today this gesture is widely used to communicate, “I reject your efforts to shame me.” As humans are prone to go too far in utilizing compensatory behaviors like this, we often end up rejecting more criticism and shaming in ways that are unwise.

This can result in severe depression, withdrawal, and even suicide. It can even be embraced to the extent that the person fights off those attempting to counteract and heal their shame. The term “hugging your cactus” seems quite on target.

We see this when women frequently criticize men for “not asking for directions” and men almost universally just “laugh it off.” Most men are quite literally shameless when it comes to this behavior. Likewise, many, if not most women, cannot be effectively shamed for taking too long in the bathroom, and ignore such shaming attempts as, “Oh, just so much noise,” often increasing the frustration levels of the partner. More than one divorce ultimately results from these disparities.

The one doing the shaming is trying to demonstrate that the belief being challenged is false or deficient in some way. This can be where there is power in numbers, and the more people that can be enlisted in joining the one attempting to shame, the more profound the shame actually experienced by the recipient can be. It’s not an exaggeration that profound public shaming and embarrassment can lead to both suicide and homicide. And while psychopaths are said to lack a conscience, shaming one publicly might be the last thing you ever do.

In almost every instance there is a need for healing being demonstrated. Can Creator tell us how Empowered Prayer, the Lightworker Healing Protocol, Deep Subconscious Mind Reset, and Divine Life Support are the perfect tools for addressing shame, avoiding shame, and developing the wisdom to use shame sparingly and with the greatest effectiveness for the most desirable outcomes for all affected beings?ClosedNicola asked 3 months ago • Limiting Beliefs85 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “Communication breakdowns cause hurt in many walks of life. The type of verbal communication with a spouse, for example, can significantly affect the kind of relationship that will exist between them. Criticisms, defensiveness, silence, and feeling misunderstood are just a few signs of communication problems in a relationship. Common psychological advice includes active listening, being empathetic, seeking to understand rather than win, etc. While these strategies can be helpful to some, their success depends on each partner’s willingness to engage, adapt, and learn to apply them consistently. What is Creator’s advice on this type of advice? Is it naïve? What’s a better approach?” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 months ago • Subconscious Mind100 views0 answers0 votesA practitioner asks: “With the extraterrestrials being atheists, what do they believe as the reason for their existence?

For example, does the leadership of the Anunnaki have access to this knowledge and choose to keep it secret, considering the fact that they are the longest-lived and oldest known species in our galaxy?” What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 4 months ago • Limiting Beliefs98 views0 answers0 votesThere seems to never be a shortage of human incompetence to marvel at. It has come to be such a universally anticipated condition that people expect it, and hardly act surprised when it shows up almost like clockwork. Yet some examples are just so simply over the top that it “beggars belief.” Few stop and really consider if this widespread nincompoopery might actually be orchestrated and not a completely natural condition of humanity. This is reflected by the widely embraced quote by an unknown author: “Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence.” And this one by Peter Bergen: “Incompetence is a better explanation than conspiracy in most human activity.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Human Corruption204 views0 answers0 votes
