This work is now regarded as a foundation of Western art and literature. How accurate is this map of the afterlife? Does it reflect the destiny of certain souls?” What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 10 months ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers220 views0 answers0 votesHe asks: “Was Dante really visited by spirits from the spirit world? To what extent did Creator inspire this vision, or was it just a version of religious dogma of the time?” What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 10 months ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers179 views0 answers0 votesFenn would emphasize the importance of worship as a precursor to many (but not all) of his spiritual encounters. Saint Faustina similarly often encountered Jesus during worship or “adoration” and even Steiner talked about cultivating a “devotional mindset” as a helpful, if not utterly necessary, component and practice of attaining “spiritual vision” or “being in the spirit” as Fenn would describe it. What can Creator tell us about the necessity or helpfulness of worship, and whether it’s for Creator’s benefit, or the seekers? Many fundamentalist Christians sincerely believe that a period of worship is a necessary precursor to prayers that “get answered” and don’t regard it as “optional.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers241 views0 answers0 votesFenn’s books were fascinating but, like so many other spiritual treatises, failed in any attempt to really grapple with the problem of evil. There was, of course, no mention of extraterrestrials. Can it be assumed that is simply because he never asked? Can Creator tell us why Empowered Prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol are the genuine means for dealing with this most important of issues that most still do not have any clue about, even many with profound spiritual gifts?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers224 views0 answers0 votesDoes karma execute its own life plan for an individual? Victor Hugo in Les Misérables wrote of the fate of Field Marshal Michel Ney during the Battle of Waterloo: “Frenzied with all the noble grandeur of death accepted, Ney put himself in the way of every onslaught in that bloodbath. There, is where he had his fifth horse killed from under him. Sweating, with fire in his eyes, foam on his lips, his uniform unbuttoned, one of his epaulettes cut in half by a sabre stroke from a horseguard, his great-eagle plate dented by a bullet, bloodied, muddied, magnificent, a broken sword in his hand, he said, ‘Come and see how a marshal of France dies on the battlefield!'” But to no avail. He did not die. Ney was later executed by a French firing squad. Or was he? For there is a narrative that his death was faked, and that he escaped to America to live out his life as Peter Ney? Regardless, this seems to be an extreme example of supernatural protection at work. Was it divine protection, or karma saving him for a different and more ignoble fate?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Prayer278 views0 answers0 votesWas Field Marshal Michel Ney who fought during the Battle of Waterloo, killed by a French firing squad, or did he escape to America and live out his years as Peter Ney? If so, was that a result of divine protection?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Prayer297 views0 answers0 votesHow did dogs become such a satisfying companion animal given that science says they were wolves, originally?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers555 views0 answers0 votesWe would like to get to know our furry friends a little better and get some better insight into their experience as companion animals. Unlike humans, a great many dogs spend comparatively little time with their mother and siblings, often as little as nine weeks or less. From there they go to a home that often has them as the only pet. So a dog can end up spending 99% of its entire life around humans exclusively, rarely spending time with other dogs. Most people cannot imagine a human being, much less a human child of an extremely young age, living and even thriving in a similar scenario. What is Creator’s and the typical dog’s perspective on this rather unique living situation?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers385 views0 answers0 votesA father reports on very strange behavior by his wife. Early in their marriage, they had a beagle acquired from his father. She never tired of expressing her dislike and disapproval of the dog. And while never overtly abusive physically, refrained from interaction with the dog as much as possible. The dislike and neglect were so pronounced, the husband elected to put the dog down over a minor medical issue, just to spare the dog the intense neglect. Years later, their youngest daughter asked for a puppy. Being a fan of beagles, the husband/father found one online at an affordable price. To his considerable surprise, the wife agreed to go see it. After just five minutes, she readily agreed to accept it for the family. Unlike the other beagle, the wife is extremely attached to this dog, snuggles with her, and plays with her constantly. The previous beagle was not allowed in the bedroom, this one sleeps curled up next to her all night on the bed. Both dogs were and are beagles, and both were and are typical in every respect. Why the dramatic difference in treatment on the part of the wife?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers411 views0 answers0 votesThe same father as above, reports that the family’s new beagle puppy (the same dog as the one in the previous question) has a strange dislike for the oldest daughter in the family, while being warm and friendly and playful with everyone else in the family. The dog avoids the oldest daughter, and while it refrains from openly attacking her, it has expressed extreme displeasure whenever she is close by and tries to engage, by growling menacingly when the girl tries to pet her. There is nothing about the disposition of the girl that can account for this and she is extremely close with the family cat. Can Creator reveal what in the world is going on here?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers368 views0 answers0 votesHumans do not typically remember past lives. To what extent do dogs remember their former lives? What level of detail do they remember? Do the past and future have any genuine meaning for them or do they see things more as a constant “now?” In other words, from their perspective, is a past life memory not distinguished as different from current-life memories?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers399 views0 answers0 votesYears ago, there was a television program about a study done on the psychic abilities possessed by dogs. Almost all dog owners experience their beloved pooch waiting breathlessly for them at the door. Using hidden cameras, the aim was to see what happens when the owner returns to the home at unpredictable times, and when exactly dogs will head for the door in anticipation. To everyone’s surprise, most dogs would head for the door when the owner was as much as a mile away, and the time was irrelevant. This was about as dramatic a display of genuine psychic ability as one could encounter, and yet few know of the study or saw the program. Can Creator comment?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers456 views0 answers0 votesDo dogs ever experience a sense of “obligation?” Oftentimes, humans will groan inwardly at the thought of having to walk their dog late at night, or in the rain, or in the cold. But it’s the simple duty of a pet owner. Is the feeling mutual? Does the pet ever “groan” internally when the owner calls for the pet dog to go outside when it’s cold? (Especially if it doesn’t have to?)ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers381 views0 answers0 votesMany dogs drool uncontrollably when in a stressful situation, such as riding in an automobile. Can Creator explain why that is?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers386 views0 answers0 votesMany dogs sleep up to 16 hours a day. Is dream life a larger activity for dogs than humans?
