It’s interesting to note that the iconic “snake oil salesman” never had a storefront, like a pharmacy, but instead pulled into the town square with his wagon and hawked his magical products directly to the crowds, and then often “hightailed it” to the next town before the truth of his products became more widely known. Google defined snake oil salesmen as those who deceived people in order to get money from them. The successful ones were highly persuasive people. When one has such ability, it seems so puzzling that such a person could not find a “legitimate” avenue in which to practice those skills and be successful without all the ignominy. Good salespeople are in demand everywhere and for everything—why resort to fraud? What can Creator tell us about exploiting the masterful use of persuasion to willfully engage in fraud?

When one does a study of some of the most effective salespeople, one often encounters a mixed bag of ethically questionable tactics. One extremely successful car salesman would sit down with a phone book, call people and tell them their new car was ready for pickup. When people inevitably said, “I didn’t order a car,” he would profusely apologize and then immediately segue into asking them if they were at all in the market for a new car. With this approach, he made a fortune and set the world record at the time for most non-fleet sales made by a car salesman “one customer at a time.” Now to his credit, he was extremely likable, attentive, thorough, and did great customer service, sent birthday cards to his customers, etc. Nevertheless, a lot of his success was predicated on a lie and deception. What is Creator’s perspective?

In reference to the above car salesman’s success, he was successful because he was good at “cold calling” which most people have a deep aversion to. Cold calling is one of the most obvious breaches of the “Golden Rule” there is. Almost everyone HATES getting cold calls, and yet most successful salespeople will assert that you need to do it in order to be successful. Brian remembers one “boiler room” telephone canvasser who bragged how she abused anyone cold calling her but had no problem doing cold calling for a living. The stark hypocrisy was dramatic and utterly remorseless and unapologetic. She literally thought it was “hilarious” and laughed about it. Brian found it disturbing, to say the least. What is Creator’s perspective?

Cold calling works precisely because so many people have an aversion to doing it. That alone makes it a successful strategy for those who can bring themselves to do it. Brian did sales in the late 80s and struggled with this dilemma. A rule of thumb is it takes 10 calls to get a lead, 10 leads to get an appointment, and 10 appointments to get a sale. Brian demonstrated to himself that, indeed, the formula works and managed to get a house listing as a result. But rather than being encouraged by his success, he was so overcome with guilt about disturbing people eating dinner that he eventually abandoned sales as a career altogether. Cold calling cannot work if everyone does it. Everyone’s phone would ring all day long and it would be utterly chaotic and untenable. There is the idea that, if “everyone” can’t, then maybe no one “should?” What is Creator’s perspective?

Another successful sales guru made a fortune selling heavy stainless steel cookware door to door. (A direct form of cold calling that predates the telephone). He frequently recounted one sale he made where the woman initially slammed the front door on him and, in response, he went around to the back door to apologize for knocking on the front door. He was so charming and disarming, that the woman felt bad about mistreating him and consented to listening to his presentation as a way to make amends. She ended up buying the very expensive cookware he was selling. We are confronted with the dilemma of his apology being “insincere,” because he certainly felt no remorse about knocking on her front door at all, much less her back door after she made it clear she didn’t want to interact with him. What is Creator’s perspective on this anecdote, and what positive and negative divine lessons can we learn from it?

“Breaking the ice” is a phrase in common usage. The online Free Dictionary defines the term this way: “To do something as a means of reducing or eliminating shyness, awkward tension, or unfamiliarity.” So much of persuasion founders on this “iceberg” that the term is quite an ingenious summation of a common problem requiring great skill to master. When someone knows or learns how to “break the ice” effectively, the world is literally their oyster. This is clearly a very important “art of living” skill and lesson that so many people would benefit from mastering but struggle with intensely. What divine insight can Creator share about this common dilemma and challenge?

Like so many things dragging us down in this world, an inability to master the art of persuasion has to be up there pretty high on the list. How much of this is a deep healing need requiring divine intervention to resolve? How can Empowered Prayer, the Lightworker Healing Protocol, Deep Subconscious Mind Reset, and Divine Life Support help to heal the barriers to becoming a persuasive individual? How can divine partnership ensure that the power of persuasion is used to uplift rather than abuse?

A viewer asks: “I am curious about what Creator says regarding Netanyahu and how his administration has now been accused of perpetuating a genocide against the people of Gaza. It has been verified by Amnesty International and the ICC. What are the spiritual consequences for Israel and for Netanyahu? A one-state solution is the only option, but how can it be when Israel has created essentially an apartheid state and caused so much suffering, especially in recent months? Are these two people karmically connected somehow?” What is Creator’s perspective?

A practitioner asks: “Is it still the mindset of the extraterrestrials that they have no desire to manipulate a full-on war that would include nukes, and that they just want to create fear with disruptions in our societies with outages and weather manipulation?” What is Creator’s perspective?

Then there is the problem of placing a collective problem squarely on the shoulders of the individual because societal leaders neglect their duty to provide a solution. Disposable batteries and fluorescent light bulbs are a good example. Both are considered toxic waste and almost everyone knows that they should not be just dumped in landfills but disposed of through careful recycling and recovery of the toxic components. Yet, the responsibility for proper disposal is placed fully on the consumer. Doing the “proper disposal” often means a long drive, wait, and expense to take these items to designated recycling centers which, on top of that, often have limited collection hours available. The result is “good” people who regret tossing their batteries into the ordinary garbage do it anyway because doing it right is simply too expensive in time, effort, and money. And even though ostensibly illegal to do so, there is virtually no enforcement to actually punish anyone for improper disposal. What is Creator’s perspective and advice for concerned individuals wanting to do the right thing?

A viewer asks: “Recently in eastern Canada there was a most disturbing death of a young worker in a large well-known grocery store. She had somehow gotten inside of a large walk-in oven and the oven was turned on. This has bothered me since I heard of this and feel compelled to ask if this event is the work of ETs, and if so, will it be used for their Disclosure plans to cause fear? Can we expect more of such disturbing events?” What can Creator tell us?

There is a common saying, “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.” One supporting statement might be, “It seemed like a good idea at the time,” or, “They meant well.” So there is this phenomenon of the first impression or first assumption that is often assumed to be common sense. Can Creator comment on why a lot of bad ideas seem good or seem like no-brainers when first proposed?

Just so we’re clear, is it safe to assume that the phenomenon of even having a good intention is something that is unfortunately almost exclusively human now in terms of physical sentient species incarnated in the Milky Way Galaxy at this time? What can Creator tell us?

Most people have never heard of “The Cobra Effect.” The story goes that during the British Colonial Era in India, there were excessive cobras infesting one of India’s largest cities. In an attempt to deal with the problem, the British authorities decided to pay a bounty for every cobra killed and turned in to authorities. But ironically, the problem didn’t get “better,” it actually got worse. Why? Because some people started taking advantage of this bounty by actually breeding cobras. When the authorities found out about this, they abruptly ended the program. The result of which was that all these breeders released all their cobras, and the problem, in the end, was worse than ever. So The Cobra Effect is a kind of human folly with serious consequences. What is Creator’s perspective?
