Dr. Peck wrote: “Evil is in opposition to life. It is that which opposes the life force. It has, in short, to do with killing … Murder is not abstract … Evil is also what kills spirit. There are various essential attributes to life – particularly human life – such as sentience, mobility, growth, autonomy, will. It is possible to kill or attempt to kill one of these attributes without actually destroying the body. Thus we may ‘break’ a horse or even a child. … Evil, then … is that force, residing either inside or outside of human beings, that seeks to kill life or liveliness. And goodness is its opposite.” What is Creator’s perspective?

Dr. Peck had a teenage patient suffering from depression. His older brother had committed suicide with a 22 rifle a year earlier. For Christmas, his parents gave the patient the rifle his brother killed himself with. When Dr. Peck challenged the parents about the inappropriateness of the gift, the parents refused to acknowledge there was any problem with such a gift, claiming they were just simple, working people who can’t be expected to think like the doctor. They were not willing to examine and find fault with themselves at all. As a result, Dr. Peck diagnosed the boy’s depression as being the fault of the parents and threatened to call social services to get the boy to go live for an extended time with his aunt. He concluded the boy’s depression was actually healthy in this situation, and that the boy needed protection from his parents’ evil more than anything. What is Creator’s perspective?

Dr. Peck wrote, “Raised without love, children come to believe themselves unlovable. We may express this as a general law of child development: ‘Whenever there is a major deficit in parental love, the child will, in all likelihood, respond to that deficit by assuming itself to be the cause of the deficit, thereby developing an unrealistically negative self-image.’ … When a child is grossly confronted by significant evil in its parents, it will most likely misinterpret the situation and believe the evil resides in itself.” What is Creator’s perspective?

Dr. Peck wrote, “… evil people, refusing to acknowledge their own failures, actually desire to project their evil onto others.” What is Creator’s perspective?

Dr. Peck wrote, “… the sicker the patients – the more dishonest in their behavior and distorted in their thinking – the less able we are to help them with any degree of success. When they are very distorted and dishonest, it seems impossible.” What is Creator’s perspective?

Dr. Peck wrote, “The feeling that a healthy person often experiences in a relationship with an evil one is revulsion. … The feeling of revulsion can be extremely useful to a therapist. It can be a diagnostic tool par excellence. … Evil is revolting because it is dangerous. The revulsion countertransference is an instinctive or, if you will, God-given and saving early warning radar system.” What is Creator’s perspective?

Dr. Peck wrote, “… while evil people are still to be feared, they are also to be pitied. Forever fleeing from the light of self-exposure and the voice of their conscience, they are the most frightened of human beings. They live their lives in sheer terror. They need not be consigned to any hell. They are already in it.” What is Creator’s perspective?

Dr. Peck wrote, “… very few evil people are willing to be psychotherapy clients in the first place. Except under extraordinary circumstances, they will do everything possible to flee the light-shedding process of therapy. So it has been difficult for psychotherapists to get together with evil people long enough to study them or their reactions.” What this observation really tells us, is that we are literally “out of our league” when it comes to solving the problem of evil. We need “outside” assistance to solve this problem, and that assistance can come only in the form of partnership with the divine. Can Creator share with us how Empowered Prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol are truly the only tools in our toolbox we can use to truly fix the problem of evil in humanity, and even the rest of all creation?

Information on Uttara’s case came from an 18-page summary journal article. Dr. Stevenson wrote two entire books on Xenoglossy cases, where people could speak a language never learned or understood, which one would assume would be the most fascinating cases to study. Yet these books are out of print, and the cheapest used copy is over $70, and there is no Kindle ebook version. Dr. Stevenson’s massive compilation of 1240 cases is out of print and unavailable even in the used market. It is simply flabbergasting that such compelling evidence would have virtually no audience or interest. What is Creator’s perspective?

Is the parenting approach supported by Emmi Pikler, Magda Gerber, and Janet Lansbury, known as Resources for Infant Educarers, or RIE, safe and helpful to employ? Is it more beneficial than “attachment parenting” which some say can become too accommodating, and more authoritarian parenting styles that appear to some, to border on neglect?

Is the thesis valid described in the book by Karin Gnaoré, The Pikler and Montessori Approach, Sensory Integration, and Psychomotor Therapy: A Comparative Study Based on Research Findings? And while they may be overlapping, are all four of these techniques of value in contributing uniquely to raising well-balanced young?

Don Juan talks about the next natural enemy to becoming a man of knowledge. “Clarity! That clarity of mind, which is so hard to obtain, dispels fear, but also blinds. It forces the man never to doubt himself. It gives him the assurance he can do anything he pleases, for he sees clearly into everything. And he is courageous because he is clear, and he stops at nothing because he is clear. But all that is a mistake; it is like something incomplete. If the man yields to this make-believe power, he has succumbed to his second enemy and will fumble with learning. He will rush when he should be patient, or he will be patient when he should rush. And he will fumble with learning until he winds up incapable of learning anything more.” This sounds like a kind of arrogance, that the being defeated by clarity is one who thinks himself, falsely, as enlightened—falsely complete. Don Juan says, “He will no longer learn or yearn for anything.” Sounds like a lot of atheists and skeptics! (Which we know the ETs are.) The antithesis of humility. What is Creator’s perspective?

Castaneda asks how to avoid being defeated by clarity. Don Juan responds, “He must do what he did with fear. He must defy his clarity and use it only to see, and wait patiently and measure carefully before taking new steps; he must think, above all, that his clarity (his enlightenment?) is almost a mistake. And a moment will come when he will understand that his clarity was only a point before his eyes. He will know at this point that the power he has been pursuing is finally his. He can do with it whatever he pleases. His wish is the rule. He sees all that is around him. But he has also come to his third enemy, Power!” Fear and clarity (or arrogance) can interfere with obtaining true power. What is Creator’s perspective on Don Juan’s recipe for overcoming the second natural enemy to enlightenment—clarity?

Don Juan talks of the third natural enemy to enlightenment: “Power is the strongest of all enemies. And naturally the easiest thing to do is to give in; after all, the man (or the being) is truly invincible. He commands; he begins by taking calculated risks, and ends in making rules, because he is a master. A man at this stage hardly notices his third enemy (power) closing in on him. And suddenly, without knowing, he will certainly have lost the battle. His enemy (power) will have turned him into a cruel, capricious man. Such a man has no command over himself, and cannot tell when or how to use his power.” The mistake, it appears, is thinking the power is HIS to use as he pleases. He thinks he owns the power, rather than being a steward of it. What is Creator’s perspective?

Castaneda asks Don Juan how to defeat the third enemy to enlightenment—power. Don Juan responds, “He has to defy it, deliberately. He has to come to realize the power he has seemingly conquered is in reality never his. He must keep himself in line at all times, handling carefully and faithfully all he has learned. If he can see that clarity and power, without his control over himself, are worse than mistakes, he will reach a point where everything is held in check. He will know when and how to use his power. And thus he will have defeated his third enemy.” Is it safe to assume that all the fallen angelics and ET Alliance members have been defeated by the enemy, power, if not by clarity (or arrogance) and fear, that NONE of them have “control over themselves?” What is Creator’s perspective?
