A fixture almost as much as the light post he leaned against. Turned out, he wasn’t truly homeless at all, and shared a rather expensive apartment with another career panhandler. When asked about the apparent hypocrisy, he said simply that he rented rather than owned, so he wasn’t really lying. The problem is this individual and his partner help to reinforce the impression that many if not most homeless were not in the dire straits they appear to be in. What is the divine perspective on this type of career?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma363 views0 answers0 votesA man was portrayed on a 60 Minutes television episode back in the 1980s, who would dress like a bum and drive to his favorite spot in his own newer car, park the car out of sight, and work a freeway entrance ramp. He was observed by a reporter to leave the spot every couple of hours to make a call at a payphone. He was approached and asked who he was calling. Turned out it was his stockbroker. He confessed he made approximately $60,000 a year panhandling (in the 1980s when $60,000 was an above-average income) and had a very successful investment portfolio. When challenged, he failed to see any moral dilemma in what he was doing, but in managing a successful stock portfolio, he was clearly capable of performing successfully in a more traditional occupation. What are the karmic implications of that man’s occupational choice?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma372 views0 answers0 votesThose wanting to be good samaritans would decline if they knew they were simply fattening someone’s portfolio and of course most panhandlers are truly homeless and in need of assistance. Yet the desire not to be taken advantage of is strong in most people and presents a genuine moral conflict for many. What advice can Creator give to those wanting to help the truly needy? When one gives to a beggar, does the REAL condition of the recipient have any bearing on the good karma earned by the donor?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma350 views0 answers0 votesA worker in a large city can run an obstacle course of multiple panhandlers twice a day going to and from the office. Many times both people will pretend not to recognize the other, which can reach heights of absurdity as this can go on for years. The career panhandlers are daily intruding on the privacy of the commuters who simply want to be left alone in peace and quiet but are constantly exposed to this twice a day for years. As no one with an average salary can possibly give to everyone asking them daily for handouts, what are the karmic implications of ignoring such recurring pleas? How can Creator help the simple commuter make a moral choice?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma357 views0 answers0 votes“Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.” When it comes to the homeless, are we collectively failing to teach them how to fish?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma346 views0 answers0 votesA century ago, it was mostly charities and churches that were looked to to provide help for those in need. Today many look to governments to provide help for the needy and many are failing to do an adequate job. Was having the governments step in to help a mixed motive undertaking? Was the goal to create further distance between the donors and the recipients?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma313 views0 answers0 votesWhat is Creator’s perspective on the welfare state?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma417 views0 answers0 votesHow can prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol help to someday fully resolve the problem of homelessness?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma352 views0 answers0 votesIs it true to say, that the true purpose of prayer is not to inform Creator and the divine realm, but to permit it? Is prayer a kind of “license to operate” that each human being issues to the divine realm?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Prayer322 views0 answers0 votesIs the saying, “The squeaky wheel gets the grease,” an analogy that can be applied to prayer in any way?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Prayer397 views0 answers0 votesThe same prayer, of course, can be said in any language. From this, it can be gleaned the power and purpose of prayers are not the words or semantics of the prayer, but rather as an aid, a tool, a means by which INTENT can be shaped in the mind of the person offering the prayer. As people differ in their attributes, outlooks, and sentiment, is “one prayer fits all” a far from optimal approach?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Prayer321 views0 answers0 votesSome people are deeply moved by poetic prose, and others are deeply bored by it. Some are responsive to plain directives, and others put off by such blunt approaches. When it comes to shaping intent, is “to each his own” the most effective approach to prayer?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Prayer343 views0 answers0 votesIs it true that “A poor prayer is better than no prayer,” assuming the prayer is intended to be sent to the divine realm, and mostly adheres to divine principles?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Prayer328 views0 answers0 votesCan Creator share the importance of actually addressing a prayerful outreach to God/Creator and/or the divine realm, as opposed to the “Universe?” Would an analogy be making two copies of a letter of intent and desire for some benefit, sticking them in envelopes, and putting an actual address on one, and nothing on the other except perhaps “to whom it may concern?” In our physical world, one will get delivered, and the post office will have no idea what to do with the other one. Is this an apt analogy at all?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Prayer346 views0 answers0 votesHumans have been unable to create permanent batteries, that will store forever. Stored energy always seems to find a way to drain or bleed off. In fact, because the nature of energy is flow or movement, is the whole notion of storing energy a kind of misnomer? How would one go about storing a river, or a waterfall for instance? Since the whole purpose of prayer is to shape intent, which is itself a kind of non-static, flowing construct, could this help to account why prayer does not store well, and why it needs to be continuously replenished?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Prayer330 views0 answers0 votes
