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 • Prayer273 views0 answers0 votesWe have learned from Creator that asking someone to pray for us, who has a higher belief quotient, can be an effective “workaround” for doubters and those struggling with their own faith. However, that appears to be advice for making requests of fellow humans and the human receiving the request can accept or decline. But what of a request made to a light being? If one prays to “Mary, Mother of God,” wouldn’t the belief quotient come into play as well? If your faith in Mary is weak, then is Mary not going to be able to launch her own prayer beyond what she receives? Or does Mary have the discretion to bring HER belief quotient to bear in the same way an incarnated human can? In other words, is there ANY value in praying to Mary over praying to Source Creator directly?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Prayer259 views0 answers0 votesIf the Rosary does have value, it would appear its greatest value is in the final phrase, “pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death.” Is that a plea to avoid being condemned to a dark fate in the afterlife? If so, can you comment on the belief many have, as well as fear, about going to hell?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Prayer260 views0 answers0 votesCan the prayer’s phrase, “pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death” be acted on as a request for a Spirit Rescue, to ensure the departed reaches heaven and not get stuck in limbo? We presume that most people saying the Rosary, do not have the understanding they are asking Mary for a Spirit Rescue from being earthbound and stuck in limbo when they die. Furthermore, they are asking Mary to “pray” for them, essentially asking her to ask the divine on their behalf for intervention, rather than doing a Spirit Rescue directly herself. Seems it would be more powerful to ask Source Creator directly for a rescue at time of death. Can Creator comment?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Prayer255 views0 answers0 votesAs imperfect as the Rosary may be, it has been said billions, even trillions of times over the centuries. If a person prays the Rosary thousands of times in a lifetime, will they be almost guaranteed to have a Spirit Rescue done for them, even if they never had competent understanding they were making such a request? Does a weak prayer said over and over again, make it a strong prayer eventually?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Prayer267 views0 answers0 votesCan Creator give us a quick summary of the best ways to empower prayer most effectively, and what the important caveats to be mindful of, are? And why the Lightworker Healing Protocol is one of the best prayers to aspire to use?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Prayer386 views0 answers0 votesAt the opposite extreme, is the trend towards creating excessively safe environments for children to play in. Gone is a lot of playground equipment deemed “too dangerous.” Diving boards are gone from many pools. Everybody acknowledges that childhood 30 years ago had much less direct adult supervision and restrictions, and often consider that a good thing. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Divine Guidance278 views0 answers0 votesChildren are captivated by computer games and video games, to the point they don’t seem to play outside anymore. Are kids today just more intellectually sophisticated and demanding, or is there something sinister in this seeming addiction?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Divine Guidance308 views0 answers0 votesGambling seems to be a permanent fixture in human culture. Even with the advent of computers and WiFi, we see websites offering online gaming, with televised poker matches drawing significant viewing audiences to be just spectators. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Divine Guidance311 views0 answers0 votesIn spite of the confusion and jumbled and contradictory narratives about our past, it seems one of the more revelatory means to witness the presence and influence of the divine and also help in building one’s belief quotient, would indeed be the study of history. In surveying the history of warfare, in particular, the presence of divine intervention can be found in lopsided contests where the disadvantaged party wins a shocking and almost inexplicable victory in a short timeframe and with a minimum of death and destruction to both sides. The Battle of Midway in World War II is one example that comes to mind. What is Creator’s perspective on this observation?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Human Potential251 views0 answers0 votesIn contrast to the Battle of Midway, can Creator comment on the turning point that was the Battle of Stalingrad in World War II? Unlike Midway, which was decided in less than a week, Stalingrad was a brutal bloodbath that ground on for months in the most horrific of conditions, both natural and manmade. Russian soldiers, in particular, feared their own leadership as much as the enemy in many cases. Stalingrad was called a “moonscape,” bombed into oblivion and utterly unrecognizable. Where was the divine in this contest? And what contrast would Creator make between the Battle of Midway and the Battle of Stalingrad?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Human Potential288 views0 answers0 votesOne of the most enigmatic events in modern world history is the Battle of Waterloo. It remains enigmatic right down to the characterization of the forces involved. Some regard Napoleon Bonaparte as just another Hitler, while others view him as a failed George Washington. Figuring out who the “good guys” and the “bad guys” in this contest were is by no means an easy exercise. Both sides were heavily populated with Christians, many of whom certainly prayed for protection and divine intervention in order to achieve victory for their side. In the grand scheme of things, was Napoleon’s defeat at Waterloo a divine setback, or a divine victory? If it was a setback, what was lost? And if a victory, what was achieved in the way of divine support for humanity in the bigger contest with the interlopers?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Human Potential322 views0 answers0 votesWe learned in a recent radio show, about the astounding level of divine protection granted to keep French Marshal Michel Ney alive, and eventually allow his escape to America where he lived out his life in peace, if not in contentment. Many, if not most, historians actually blame Ney himself for Napoleon’s French loss at Waterloo. Were there in fact decisions Ney made that could have changed the outcome of Waterloo, and arguably the course of world history, and if so, why did the divine not inspire him appropriately, while at the same time protecting his life in the most astonishing ways?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Human Potential249 views0 answers0 votesFrom the divine perspective, did Ney “blow it,” and make one of the biggest military mistakes in the history of warfare? If so, what are the karmic ramifications of doing your best, but still failing with some of the highest stakes imaginable?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Human Potential248 views0 answers0 votes
