If so, that would in some ways protect the self from the constant ruminations of the deep subconscious doing so much worrying about what is in the akashic records.ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Subconscious Mind320 views0 answers0 votesAre dreams ever consolidated as memories unless recalled by the upper level of the mind sufficiently upon awakening with the desire to remember them? That would allow them to be catalogued as dreams, and not real events.ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Subconscious Mind315 views0 answers0 votesIs the compartmentalization of memory consolidation to happen solely within the conscious and upper subconscious mind levels, a way to protect long-term memory from contamination with fantasies arising from the ruminations of the deep subconscious?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Subconscious Mind313 views0 answers0 votesWe know a lot of homeless are emotionally and mentally challenged to the point of not being able to hold down a job and make ends meet. Many of these have or would have been institutionalized in years past against their will, and many such institutions were unpleasant and ill-equipped to provide true help. What is the divine perspective on allowing (or forcing) the mentally incapacitated to live on the street and burden society, versus providing for them an institution that can truly help but is likely costly?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma308 views0 answers0 votesShould those homeless who still reject a rehabilitated institution (or group home or shelter) be allowed to simply live on the street and panhandle?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma317 views0 answers0 votesA would-be good samaritan wants to help the homeless, who truly need assistance. He was not interested in providing money for booze and cigarettes. A woman on the street was shrieking “HELP ME! I’M HUNGRY!” Our would-be good samaritan offered to take her right then and there and buy her a sandwich. She declined and asked for money instead. He said, “no” and repeated his offer. This went back and forth for a couple rounds, but he stuck to his offer and refused to give her money. Suddenly she just “blew up” at him, swearing at him and telling him where to go (in so many words). Who was wrong here? Both of them perhaps?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma342 views0 answers0 votesThere was a career panhandler in a big midwestern city that would hold a cup at the same spot every day and say “Help the HomeLESS!” He’d been doing this for years – even decades. 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 • Karma324 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 • Karma319 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 • Karma304 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 • Karma315 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 • Karma302 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 • Karma267 views0 answers0 votesWhat is Creator’s perspective on the welfare state?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma365 views0 answers0 votesHow can prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol help to someday fully resolve the problem of homelessness?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma301 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “I’ve been on mild antidepressants and have weaned slowly off them. But it’s very common you get anger withdrawal. I have this and get this each time I try to get off these medicines. I’m angry at tiny things, all the time. It could also just be menopause for me also, or other things?” What can we tell her?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma305 views0 answers0 votes
