In the same band, there was arguably the best lyricist (Bob Dylan) with the best vocalist (Roy Orbison) and the best producer (Jeff Lynne). The fact even one of them could find time in their schedule was miraculous, much less all of them. All of them without exception effused about how truly wonderful the whole experience was, how all were friends, how all worked together seamlessly and without friction or jealousy, and how nearly all considered it one of the greatest if not the greatest thing they ever participated in. And these were all ultra-successful musicians—titans of the industry. The first album went triple platinum. It was literally a tsunami of good karma and a miraculous coming together rarely seen in this world. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Karma247 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “Humility is one of the core values of wisdom teachings, expounded as a most valuable quality in human character. What exactly is humility? Why is it so important?”ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Divine Guidance337 views0 answers0 votesHe also asks: “How is humility best cultivated? And how can we help nurture it in our young people, especially?”ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Divine Guidance447 views0 answers0 votes“To intervene, or not to intervene, that is the question,” was never penned by Shakespeare, but perhaps should have been. For our purposes, we’ll define intervention as the uninvited insertion of self into the lives or activities of others. Those others can be strangers or even close family. Intentionally inserting oneself into the lives of others is a bold move, and one is always risking being rejected or repulsed when they do so. What is Creator’s perspective on this art of living dilemma?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma302 views0 answers0 votesThen there is the “Good Samaritan” dilemma. There is no shortage of people in need in this world. And there is a line of thinking that the need itself is one’s invitation, or even mandate in the opinion of some, to intervene for their benefit and upliftment. The downside is the ever-present risk of unintended consequences. One is the often overlooked acquisition of a “responsibility.” For instance, there is a legal recognition of duty to complete a rescue once commenced. There is no duty to rescue a drowning person, especially if you yourself cannot swim. But, once you make the decision to try and rescue, you are now bound by law to make every reasonable effort to complete the task. Failure to do so can result in liability to the victim. What is Creator’s perspective on the all or nothing perspective toward “Good Samaritans?”ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma275 views0 answers0 votesParents and teachers are confronted with this art of living dilemma on practically a daily basis. There is probably not a child in existence who hasn’t screamed at an adult at least once “let me do it!!!” But of course, adults cannot let children go ahead and do just anything they want without supervision. Too much supervision is stultifying, and too little exposes the vulnerable to enhanced dangers. Can Creator share any rules of thumb that will help supervisors intervene only when necessary and with maximum divine balance and wisdom?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma291 views0 answers0 votesIn Texas a few years ago, a young man who had learned a few tentative Aikido moves (a martial art), found himself in a convenience store just as it was being robbed. Rather than stay out of it, he intervened and used his fledgling skills to execute a shihonage (she-ho-nah-gay) move. The result was the robber fell backwards having lost all balance and cracked his skull on the tile floor, dying moments later. Can Creator comment on the karmic consequences of his decision, and whether the divine considers his actions intervention or interference?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma320 views0 answers0 votesA massively popular recording artist witnessed the drowning of a friend as a child. An older teenager was there as well, and this person just stood there and watched, and did nothing beyond saying “hold on.” The artist came to blame this person for the drowning death of his friend because he chose not to intervene. Decades later, the recording artist wrote a song recounting the event, invited the now much older adult but then-teenager to the song’s premiere in front of an audience of thousands, seating him in the center front row. He then sang the song that went on to become one of this recording artist’s biggest hits, mocking the man with his own words “hold on.” The man went home and hanged himself as a result of the shaming. What is Creator’s perspective of both the teen’s inaction and the later retribution by the recording artist?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma334 views0 answers0 votesIt’s rare when parents perfectly share the most enlightened approach to raising children. Not only do they have to navigate the relationship with their own child, but often find themselves witnesses to the unhealthy relationships between their child and the other parent. Intervening in these relationships is fraught with all kinds of hazards up to and including divorce and custody battles. When a spouse is confronted with a spouse whose parenting skills leave something to be desired, and are rooted in deeply held beliefs they are in no mood to have questioned, yet clearly are problematic and perhaps even damaging to the children, what is Creator’s advice for a parent simply wanting the best outcome for all involved?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma328 views0 answers0 votesAsking a stranger or acquaintance out on a date is arguably a form of “uninvited intervention” bordering on interference. Yet, for much of history, men were encouraged to pursue this “outreach” and women were encouraged, and even coached, to be tolerant, even to an extreme at times. That is all changing now with today’s young people. Even approaching the opposite extreme of considering even a single humble proposition, a form of “violent assault.” Can Creator comment?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma320 views0 answers0 votesThere is a story of a seeker who approached a guru asking to take up advanced spiritual training with enlightenment as the goal. The guru said, “we must first test your readiness.” The guru then handed the applicant three humungous baked potatoes and instructed him to eat them right away. The problem was, the applicant, anticipating a life devoid of luxuries, had just come from a goodbye feast where he had already stuffed himself to the brim. Alone, staring at the potatoes and knowing he could not possibly eat them in the time expected, saw a homeless man off in the distance. He approached the homeless man and offered him the biggest potato. The homeless man accepted, and the applicant then choked down the other two. Returning to the guru, the guru asked if he had indeed consumed all three potatoes. The applicant hesitated for a moment and then confessed what he had done with the biggest potato. He then challenged the guru about the virtue of charity, and does that not override the demands of the test? The guru responded with the question “Did the homeless man ASK YOU for the potato?” Upon saying “no,” the guru rejected the applicant, and claimed he was not ready for advanced training. What is Creator’s perspective of this story?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma332 views0 answers0 votesThere is a popular notion that one should never give advice unless asked for it. A high school student who worked in a repair garage evenings and weekends was in an auto shop class and instructed to do an oil change with a small group of fellow students. One of the bigger more aggressive students started removing the drain plug. The experienced student suggested that he not pull the plug away but hold it in place until he was sure it was loose, and then pull it away quickly. The intended and very over-confident recipient of this wise advice told the experienced student to “buzz off” in so many words, and then proceeded to cover himself in oil with the other students howling with laughter. What is Creator’s perspective on giving unsolicited advice?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma294 views0 answers0 votesCan Creator share how prayer work and the Lightworker Healing Protocol can help individuals master the “intervene or not to intervene” art of living dilemma, and how such mastery is critical to the survival of humanity?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma290 views0 answers0 votesPerhaps the most stubborn things are the political and religious beliefs of people.
