One is their lack of interest in creative acts. They do not draw, paint, sculpt, or carve. They do not take photographs, except of themselves and their possessions. They do not cook for pleasure, invent recipes, nor make their own bread as a hobby. They do not create music, though they can be excellent performers of others’ work. This lack of creative drive is a curious thing when you first see it. It matches their generally empty sense of humor. Their hobbies are travel, shopping, eating out, meeting new people. This is consumption, not creation.” Hintjens says, “I’m certain creativity is another secret language of empathy.” And as such, another effective psychopath detector. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Limiting Beliefs255 views0 answers0 votesHintjens suggests that we have an incomplete view of the psychopath. The general assumption is that they are broken people, but he suggests that they are in fact human predators. “Psychopaths hunt other humans. They attack and capture them. They feed on their time, resources, power, and energy. They dispose of the remains. And they move on. Every relationship between a social human and a psychopath follows the same pattern. There seem to be no exceptions, no nice psychopaths. To be a psychopath is to be a predator.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Limiting Beliefs227 views0 answers0 votesHintjens wrote that arranged marriages evolved from the need to safeguard against predators entering the family. He writes, “The rate of arranged marriages will correlate with social status of the pair. The higher their status, the less free choice in marriage. This seems true in all societies. Between societies, the weaker the state, the higher will be the rate of arranged marriages. This is because weak states cannot protect a family’s wealth from predators.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Limiting Beliefs249 views0 answers0 votesWill the following introduction to using the Creator’s Recommended Prayers be acceptable and effective: “Source Creator, apply the following prayers each and every day, to myself, my loved ones, and every being everywhere, in all time domains, in increments proportional to my spiritual reach, so no one is underserved and all are covered, eventually. Pool the intentions of all who use these prayers and apply them to augment the power of each incremental prayer launched by each individual?”ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Prayer332 views0 answers0 votesI was outside on my patio, working on an upcoming radio show about the anatomy of prayer, and feeling quite annoyed at a neighbor playing pop music with a shrieking, repetitive vocal, as has happened before. They never play anything I like. After a brief silence, I heard Carole King’s recording of “You’ve Got a Friend” which was made almost 50 years ago. While I loved that recording at the time, it seemed like a quite improbable promise—having a friend who might be far away, but who would drop everything and come to your side whenever you called their name, “winter, spring, summer or fall, all you’ve gotta do is call, and I’ll be there, yes I will, you’ve got a friend.” I was now deeply moved as it made me think about Creator loving and cherishing all of us, and always being available. Was this circumstance a message from you?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers295 views0 answers0 votesThe song by Carole King, titled “You’ve Got a Friend,” seems almost like a hymn promising divine caring and assistance. Was she inspired by you to write it?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers278 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “Can Creator comment on the difference between formalized prayer requests and the focused and specific stream of questions, thoughts, requests, and prayers sent to Creator as our Partner, being an extension of Creator, throughout the day, as part of our ongoing internal dialogue with Creator? Other than a quiet focus and specificity, if we are aware of our connection to Creator as an integral and inalienable part of our experience here on Earth, why is one considered better or stronger than the other? I’m guessing Focus and Specificity are the point here. Is that correct?”ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Prayer291 views0 answers0 votesShe continues: “Isn’t focused and aware inner dialogue with Creator considered a form of prayer? If not, why not?”ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Prayer307 views0 answers0 votesCreator has said previously that there is no such thing as a wasted prayer, that ALL prayers are heard and acted upon to the greatest extent allowed. However, the amount of efficacy and power will be affected by a whole host of factors, with the primary one being the belief quotient. Nevertheless, how useful to the divine is the weakest prayer ever uttered versus no prayer said at all? We ask this to try and gauge just HOW important prayer, ANY prayer, is versus no prayer?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Prayer300 views0 answers0 votesIf an atheist were to say a prayer in a mocking and derisive fashion, would that have any value at all? Would it potentially incur a karmic liability? Is this a scenario where they would be better off not saying the prayer as opposed to saying it irreverently?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Prayer287 views0 answers0 votesThe Rosary is one of the most said prayers in the history of humanity. In that sense, it is indeed a phenomenon worthy of exploration. The words, “Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee, blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God …” This is three-quarters of the entire prayer, and there appears to be no action item in any of these words. However, looked at from another angle, when one says “blessed art thou” is this an action item conferring your own blessing onto Mary, adding your intention energy and thereby increasing her divine or “blessed” status? Is that even possible? And will this benefit the one praying?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Prayer300 views0 answers0 votesWhen one sneezes and another says “bless you,” is that a genuine prayer for their benefit? Most people will utter that habitually and with little additional thought. It is also not very specific in instructing the divine to do anything in particular. Will the divine know the context in which those words were offered, and will that context play any part in determining how that prayer is utilized?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Prayer282 views0 answers0 votesObviously, it would be better if one said when hearing a sneeze, “Source Creator, protect and heal that person from any and all conditions necessitating a sneeze response, heal any and all karmic underpinnings of any contributing condition, and keep the healing going with momentum until the healing is complete.” But of course, that would be unwieldy and quite awkward if said out loud in front of an audience of people with no understanding of the implications. We are trying to gauge the value, if any, of the typical habitual “bless you,” and what, if any, use the divine makes of it. What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Prayer311 views0 answers0 votesDoes saying a prayer out loud, have any greater power or standing than saying a prayer privately in one’s mind?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Prayer340 views0 answers0 votesWhen saying the Rosary, one utters “Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners.” We know Creator has shared that using the word “sinners,” especially if one believes it about themselves, is disempowering. Yet, we finally have an action item in the Rosary prayer in the request to Mary to “pray for us.” We believe Mary is a wonderful divine and enlightened being. But the real question is, “Does this request, flawed as it may be, impose an “obligation” on Mary to pray for us?” I know as a physical human, if someone asks me to pray for them, I have the discretion to do so, or not to do so. Does Mary? Can another divine being help her out? Kind of like an assistant who responds to letters from fans of a famous person?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Prayer300 views0 answers0 votes
