One of the three “marks of existence” that all Buddhist practices are centered around understanding through increasingly direct and deep insight/realizations on the path to enlightenment is “no self” or “not self” (annata), which includes that there is no such thing as a permanent, unchanging entity or “soul.” It is said that in his quest for enlightenment, the Buddha looked deeply for the “housebuilder,” the one behind the whole thing, this experience of “I, me, myself,” the doer, and he couldn’t find one, and found instead that all phenomena, including the experience of a fixed entity called a self or soul, were simply the result of interdependent causes and conditions coming together temporarily, including even consciousness itself, which arises temporarily to meet with sensory experiences (which includes the 6th sense of mind) and that this consciousness we experience, too, dies with the body. Of course, there is something that experiences rebirth, as Buddhism was very, very clear on that … Since the goal, enlightenment, involves the ONLY permanent death … The cessation of rebirth. One of my primary teachers stated that what gets reborn is not a “soul,” but our “habits.” I am really hoping that Creator can shed some light on these things, since the teachings of the Buddha are what I resonate with the most, and yet I am also an LHP practitioner and do believe in the divine realm and love the idea of having/being an “immortal soul.” The LHP itself I do see as basically a lovingkindness/compassion/sympathetic joy/equanimity (Divine Abodes) practice, and therefore an extension of Buddhist practice. I accept that especially because the teachings of the Buddha were not written down until hundreds of years after his death that they could have become corrupted, and that given the depth of dark manipulation on Earth they most certainly were. However, this teaching, that there is no soul, that there is no self, is basically THE most important teaching in all of Buddhism. The Suttas (sacred ancient Buddhist texts) quote the Buddha as saying, “Nothing whatsoever is to be taken as I, mine, myself. Whoever has understood this has understood all the teachings.” How are we to make sense of this?”ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Religions502 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “Is premarital sex acceptable or unwise or is it variable for each couple? What factors should be considered? It’s very difficult, if not impossible to abstain for most people during a courtship of any length, and sex, when people are in love, feels divine if you are open to that.”ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Divine Guidance460 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “Technical information received through certain channels has resulted in health supporting devices and entirely new possibilities for improving our quality of life. Should one categorically regard all channeled technology as emanating from ETs implementing in stages their own agenda for our subjugation as a race? Is it wiser to rely solely on ourselves and our connection with Creator and disavow all such sources of outside help?”ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Disinformation403 views0 answers0 votesWe know pain is a protective mechanism purposefully engineered into biological creatures. And we further know that when the ability to feel pain is removed via nerve damage or some other compromise, that the risk of damaging the physical body grievously goes up almost exponentially. One never appreciates pain more, than when they can’t feel it. Fear is a similar protective mechanism that is not just “biological” but spiritual as well. Has Creator ever experimented with creating “fearless” beings, and what was the result?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Non-Local Consciousness296 views0 answers0 votesWe know that the fallen angelics fear the light, so we know that angels can experience fear. The Archangel Michael appears to be pretty fearless. Was he created that way, or did he conquer his fears successfully in a way the fallen angelics were not able to emulate?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Non-Local Consciousness342 views0 answers0 votesWe know members of the Extraterrestrial Alliance are all obsessed with power, its attainment, and exercise, for the SAFETY of the self it seemingly promises to deliver. We know from personal experience, that fear can sabotage our own personal efforts to achieve personal power. So such individuals are experiencing a profound dilemma, of wanting to overcome fear in order to increase their personal power in order to increase their own personal safety, in order to be FREE OF FEAR. Can Creator comment on this dilemma?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Non-Local Consciousness289 views0 answers0 votesIf, in the pursuit of personal power over others, one sets out to destroy their own fearful nature and become truly fearless in order to not have that as a performance obstacle, the eventual outcome will be a truly fearless being. And if one is fearless, might they indeed figure out ironically, that personal SAFETY is no longer an issue, because it is principally fear that drives the overwhelming impulsive need to seek personal safety through power over others. When one day such a person wakes up and realizes that they no longer NEED the safety they seek, because they are no longer plagued by fear, does their desire to exercise power over others fade as well? Can the selfish pursuit of fearlessness be an unexpected and wholly ironic path to redemption for some?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Non-Local Consciousness300 views0 answers0 votesA common response from those wanting to help the fearful is to try and coach them into “getting a backbone.” There is also the attempt to try and use shame to inspire the fearful to “suck it up” and engage. What is Creator’s outlook on these attempts to inspire the fearful to face and conquer their fear?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Non-Local Consciousness301 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “A person we found on the Internet allegedly channels Jesus and a group who promulgate study of A Course in Miracles.

A similar information was provided in the documentary called “Aquarius: Age of Evil.” Watching these movies, I concluded that they will be introduced on Earth as saviors of humanity by those who will win the election in November and that will in fact be the beginning of the end.” What can we tell him?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Disinformation444 views0 answers0 votesThe viewer asks: “In addition, it was mentioned that the idea of ascension is also based on Gnostic writings or rather said “Satan’s Writing” and it is not a new idea and it is deceiving people to think that they are divine and equal creators as Creator is. Please clarify.” What can we tell him?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Disinformation446 views0 answers0 votesPeople recognize that there is a difference between intelligence and wisdom.
