Couple that with the need to keep actual vegetable gardens inconspicuous in many such communities, and it seems there is something truly amiss in the American Dream of life in suburbia. What is Creator’s perspective on this, and what does this loss of arable land truly signify?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Problems in Society344 views0 answers0 votesThe typical suburban home is actually built for a nuclear family with at least two or more children. Yet we see some McMansions with thousands of square feet of living space, and five bedrooms and bathrooms, being owned and lived in by childless couples. At some level, this seems a bit insane. Yet it is almost becoming the norm now. The defense is that the home is not just a dwelling, but an investment. Contrast all these underutilized investments with the growing and overwhelming homeless problem in this country, and one standing back from it all has to think, “There must be a better way!” What is Creator’s perspective on all of this?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Problems in Society335 views0 answers0 votesCan Creator share how prayer work and the Lightworker Healing Protocol can help us create a better and more balanced collective future for all, that preserves some of the benefits of suburban living while mitigating and even eliminating most of its adverse effects?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Problems in Society351 views0 answers0 votesIt has been observed that in the past, the populace of a typical town represented a broad spectrum of intelligence and that people found occupations to best serve needed roles in the village.

But today, in a mobile society, whole communities can be categorized by intellectual considerations more than any other.

Can Creator share if and how we can actually create karmic entanglements with our unacted upon thoughts? Are such thoughts a kind of “micro-curse” we’re employing and do they add up over time?
