DWQA Questions › Tag: open mindFilter:AllOpenResolvedClosedUnansweredSort byViewsAnswersVotesIf there was ever a list of ideals given lip service, but poorly pursued in actual practice, the idea of having an open mind would have to be near, if not at the very top, of the list. From Creator’s perspective, how would Creator characterize an open mind, and how such a mind would function, or should function ideally, in this highly problematic world?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Problems in Society387 views0 answers0 votesHaving an open mind can seem unappealing to some, because it suggests a child-like vulnerability. Children are clearly much more open-minded than adults, and anyone with any experience around children knows how gullible and quick to believe anything children can be. How much is adult closed-mindedness a direct result and compensation for the vulnerability experienced as children?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Problems in Society378 views0 answers0 votesChildren are not just gullible, they are also ignorant. However, even as children, lack of knowledge and understanding is quickly equated with stupidity. As a result, many if not most children learn early on that it is easier to pretend to know than it is to actually KNOW. As a result, rather than becoming truly educated and erudite, many people focus instead on fostering just the appearance of being mature and sophisticated rather than actually becoming truly mature and sophisticated. How widespread is this problem among humanity, and how much of it is a product of the interlopers versus being entirely human?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Problems in Society382 views0 answers0 votesThere are two pathways to arriving at a conclusion about a matter. One is to investigate the underlying evidence, testimony, calculations, observations, etc., and the other is to simply borrow the conclusions of trusted others. Hence the overly heavy reliance on acquiring and showcasing credentials—so that one knows whom to trust as well as be trusted about a chosen specialty or body of knowledge. Is this human obsession with credentials only an issue in a free will physical environment?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Problems in Society390 views0 answers0 votesThe more one pretends to know, versus how much they actually know, makes them increasingly vulnerable to unmasking, ridicule, and shaming from others—others who themselves are just as often pretending as not. Is this fear of being unmasked one of the principal motivators for those who are dedicated to exposing the phoniness of others?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Problems in Society346 views0 answers0 votesPeer pressure is a huge factor in the development of particular coping skills. Peer pressure encourages individuals to act, to appear, to speak in matching ways with behaviors and beliefs that are not exactly helping one excel at the “art of living” in divine alignment. How much does the admonition “if you can’t beat them, join them” contribute to human complacency and compromise?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Problems in Society313 views0 answers0 votesHow much is the fear of being ostracized, victimized, and exiled a contributing factor to being susceptible to mind control manipulation?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Problems in Society364 views0 answers0 votesHow much do people equate consensus with safety? How much do tragic events in past lives contribute to an overwhelming need to seek acceptance from a majority or powerful minority?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Problems in Society318 views0 answers0 votesThe love of truth, the capacity to have a truly open mind that weighs information dispassionately and without filters, seems like a lonely commitment. As much as the love of truth gets lip service, the reality appears to be that the individual is fighting appearances and pressures to conform every step of the way. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Problems in Society417 views0 answers0 votesA life of truth is truly a life lived courageously in this world. Can Creator share how prayer work and the Lightworker Healing Protocol can help both the individual and society at large to be more authentic in everything they do and express?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Problems in Society334 views0 answers0 votesIf one has friends or acquaintances willing to discourse with you about what’s “real” and what’s “not,” would performing a Lightworker Healing Protocol session for them, potentially help them to be more open-minded and receptive to what you have to share?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Limiting Beliefs274 views0 answers0 votesSocrates said, “When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser.” Most atheists have been observed to make liberal use of the tool of “slander” in controlling a conversation and putting their well-intentioned opponent in a difficult position. But it has further been observed, that if one “stands strong,” and continues with their dialogue, unwavering and unaffected, many times the conversation can actually continue productively. Can Creator share advice on what to expect and how best to proceed when one is faced with an onslaught of “slander?”ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Limiting Beliefs263 views0 answers0 votesIn life, it is often true that before you can build something new, you first have to tear down something old. It’s been observed that many atheists have quite strong “faith” in their outlook and world views. So before they can even become receptive to new ideas, their currently “full” cup must be emptied. Anyone attempting to help someone empty a cup they are grasping tightly should expect quite a bit of resistance. But resistance isn’t always a retreat, or abandonment of the engagement, quite the opposite. If they are resisting, but not retreating, and are willing to engage, is that enough to allay any concerns about “coercing” them against their will?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Limiting Beliefs262 views0 answers0 votesIt has been observed that atheists have a kind of “hunt and destroy” approach to anything outside their world views. So while the would-be evangelist is attempting to empty and refill the cup of the atheist, the atheist is actually attempting to do the very same thing, but in reverse. Unfortunately, atheists are often better prepared in these contests, which is one of the reasons that if one of the parties is likely to come away disillusioned, it’s the evangelist and not the atheist. Can Creator comment on the importance of knowing what you are getting into, and choosing your battles carefully and wisely?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Limiting Beliefs242 views0 answers0 votesOne of the apparent attractions of atheism is that it is widely embraced by the smart, accomplished and savvy, while belief in the divine is portrayed as primitive, dumb, gullible, and the desperate clinging of people who can’t think for themselves and who are afraid of their own shadows. This is a VERY significant presumption to have to counter and dispel. Can Creator share the best strategy for countering this outlook most effectively?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Limiting Beliefs287 views0 answers0 votes
