And then these incentives can undermine the good intentions that got the ball rolling, so to speak. We see the effects of this today with government farm subsidies. These came about during The Great Depression in the 1930s. Farmers were plagued with damaging surpluses because no one had money to buy the crops. This caused agricultural prices to crash to the extent that it could have endangered the nation’s food supply if it bankrupted every farmer. So as an interim solution, the government created a program to pay farmers NOT to grow crops. The only problem is, what was meant to be a temporary stopgap turned into a chronic entitlement, with no end in sight, even though it’s been nearly a century since they started.

This phenomenon of “good” people doing bad things because “everyone’s doing it” seems to be a common theme in this world. Is this just a flaw in the human makeup, or can it be blamed on interloper manipulation? What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 5 months ago • Problems in Society147 views0 answers0 votesIn the Bible, Matthew 7:13-14, Jesus says: “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” Is Jesus here referring to the dangers of “following the crowd” in taking advantage of perverse incentives because “everyone is doing it?” What is Jesus really saying here?

This is starkly demonstrated with the Kenosha, Wisconsin demonstrations a few years ago. Wanting to protect private property from vandalism is arguably a good intention, and wanting to protest excessive police behavior is also arguably a good intention, yet it ultimately led to a self-defense shooting that resulted in dead and permanently maimed protestors, and a young man who narrowly escaped going to prison for life and who will live with that event forever haunting him.

Many have said that humans are an incentive-driven species perhaps more than good-intention-driven. Certainly, that can be said about the interlopers. In this discussion so far, we have not discussed bad-intention-driven actions that might create a good outcome. How much does karma take intention into account, versus what actually happens? Imagine a gang member on his way to murder a rival, who is ambushed and beaten but not killed. The one doing the beating becomes an unwitting hero of sorts. How does karma view this example? What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 5 months ago • Problems in Society108 views0 answers0 votesSo much of being a good person appears to go way beyond having good intentions. And the saying, “The road to hell is paved with good intentions,” speaks to this. It appears there is simply no substitute for wisdom, and being able to successfully parse out likely results that run counter to good intentions and first impressions—BEFORE taking action. Because “An ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure,” how can Empowered Prayer, the Lightworker Healing Protocol, Deep Subconscious Mind Reset, and Divine Life Support help the good intentioned person successfully navigate the minefield of perverse incentives that are all too common in this world today?ClosedNicola asked 5 months ago • Problems in Society108 views0 answers0 votesA practitioner asks: “With the extraterrestrials being atheists, what do they believe as the reason for their existence? That is, where did they come from, and why do they have sentience, etc? How do they explain the spiritual realm?” What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 7 months ago • Limiting Beliefs146 views0 answers0 votesA practitioner asks: “Is the existence of the spiritual realm common knowledge amongst the general extraterrestrial population or is it safeguarded information?” What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 7 months ago • Limiting Beliefs148 views0 answers0 votesA practitioner asks: “Are there any extraterrestrial races of the Dark ET Alliance who are aware of the fact that they as a species do, in fact, reincarnate? For example, does the leadership of the Anunnaki have access to this knowledge and choose to keep it secret, considering the fact that they are the longest-lived and oldest known species in our galaxy?” What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 7 months ago • Limiting Beliefs132 views0 answers0 votesAmtrak and New Jersey Transit trains share one century-old tunnel connecting New York and New Jersey. The nation’s largest passenger rail hub connects between Manhattan and the rest of the Northeast Corridor, which runs from Washington, D.C., to Boston. Rail service was disrupted this week on the hottest days of the year. Several causes were mentioned, with heat being a small factor, although it has been hot enough to mandate running trains at slower speeds due to the risk of derailments. Is this situation a deliberate and planned outcome of a sinister heat wave?ClosedNicola asked 8 months ago • Extraterrestrial Agenda130 views0 answers0 votesIs Elon Musk’s prediction that the latest generation of Artificial Intelligence, called Sora, will eliminate human jobs and provide a brain-machine interface that will promote human evolution an accurate forecast?

Will God stop humans from appointing ETs for alien Grey cleanup? Or will God allow that to happen and then what excuse will be given for the ETs to go on vacation?” What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 8 months ago • Divine Caution180 views0 answers0 votesA former intelligence agent started a business coaching people in spy techniques and insights that he believed could be applied to everyday life to help people be more effective in accomplishing whatever it is they set out to do. Like most things in life, these techniques and understandings can be used for good or evil. A match can light a birthday candle or start a forest fire. To the extent that others might use these teachings for harm, how much karmic liability attaches to the teacher? Is this a reason why dangerous knowledge was historically reserved for initiates? And even that would seem to have karmic polarity in that it safeguards the innocent and immature on the one hand, but can also be a means to hoard and deny access to resources that one can argue should be more widely shared. What is Creator’s perspective on the “safe handling” and/or dissemination and sharing of material that is potentially helpful but equally dangerous?ClosedNicola asked 9 months ago • Extraterrestrial Corruption of Human Institutions244 views0 answers0 votesIntelligence agencies are in the business of gathering intelligence—information that is difficult to attain through ordinary means; information that people are hesitant and resistant to give up or share. The successful intelligence agent will employ the tools of motivation and manipulation to get this information. These tools are matched to particular means with which to motivate and/or manipulate people to get them to do what you want them to do. These approaches are referred to with the acronym “R.I.C.E.” Reward, Ideology, Coercion, and Ego. Of these four, appealing to ideology is seen as the most effective, and coercion the least. If you successfully appeal to ideology, the “target” will trust you and share almost anything. Coercion is the weakest as, contrary to Hollywood, it may work the first time you use it, but then you destroy trust and will have fewer opportunities for future success with the target.

But, in fact, he learned he was special because he had been algorithmically identified as psychologically damaged and traumatized in particular ways that were useful for intelligence gathering. These are people one would rarely label “well adjusted” by society’s standards. The agency was ruthlessly honest in telling him they intended to leverage that dysfunction, give him a vocabulary for understanding the nuances of human motivation and manipulation, and techniques for achieving goals and agendas with targets. In this undertaking, the overall wellbeing of the target is not a top consideration and moral flexibility was a prized capacity for successful agents. What is Creator’s perspective on the moral flexibility so highly prized by intelligence agencies?ClosedNicola asked 9 months ago • Extraterrestrial Corruption of Human Institutions141 views0 answers0 votes
