Similar phrases abound in multiple languages, suggesting that the desire not to upset a spiteful universe is very common.” What can Creator tell us about “knocking on wood?”ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs247 views0 answers0 votes“Cross your fingers.” Pappas writes: “Those wishing for luck will often cross one finger over another, a gesture that’s said to date back to early Christianity. The story goes that two people used to cross index fingers when making a wish, a symbol of support from a friend to the person making the wish. (Anything associated with the shape of the Christian cross was thought to be good luck.) The tradition gradually became something people could do on their own.” What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs207 views0 answers0 votes“Throwing salt over your shoulder.” Salt is thought to create a spiritual barrier that evil spirits cannot cross, or find difficult to cross. Many magicians and sorcerers use it to create “magic circles” with the thought that if they stay inside, they will be protected from the very demons they conjure. What can Creator tell us about the spiritual properties of salt, if any?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs267 views0 answers0 votes“Don’t step on a crack!” This is from artsandculture.google.com, an article entitled 18 Superstitions from Around the World: “As with mirrors, cracks—in the earth, on a sidewalk, or almost anywhere—have long been seen as portals to the realm of the supernatural, for both good and ill. To step on those cracks might be to invite or release unwelcome spirits into the world ready to do one harm.” What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs209 views0 answers0 votesSuperstitions may seem silly and innocuous at first glance, but some people worry about them a great deal. Some to the point of having genuine panic attacks if they discover they violated one. How does someone get in this state? Does subconscious mind control contribute? What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs270 views0 answers0 votesEastern Europeans, it seems, have a much longer list of superstitions that concern them than those of the West. Does the fact these countries have been war-torn and decidedly less free have anything to do with this? A woman who came here from Ukraine twenty years ago, won’t use leftovers “because it’s pig food” even though she no longer has a pig, so leftovers end up in the garbage. She worries about knives left out because they foment discord when unsheathed. And anything used she purchases she leaves outside for “cleansing,” regardless of whether rain is in the forecast or not. As a result, more garbage is created when it inevitably rains. Yet there is simply no talking her out of any of these worries or practices. What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs235 views0 answers0 votesA great many superstitions seem to revolve around an obsession with evil, and warding it off, especially. Can Creator share with us how Empowered Prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol will do more to protect you and your loved ones than slavish adherence to timeworn superstitions, even and especially if there is something to them?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs306 views0 answers0 votesArthur Guirdham was an English physician and psychiatrist who researched and wrote about past life memories and reincarnation. In the course of his investigations, he became acquainted with a “Mrs. Smith” who, as a twelve-year-old girl, had written down copious memories of a past life as a young Cathar girl who had fallen in love and left home with a much older Cathar cleric named “Roger.” Mrs. Smith identified the author, Arthur Guirdham, as Roger, her lover and mentor, from that past life she remembered so well. Was there a divine mission involved for both of them in collaborating to bring this compelling and extremely detailed medieval story of love and tragedy, as well as the reality of reincarnation, to modern humanity’s attention?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Reincarnation239 views0 answers0 votesUnlike other cases of childhood reincarnation memories, Mrs. Smith was twelve and thirteen when she received an intensive uprush of memories via dreams and visions that was extraordinary in its vividness and detail. So much so in fact, that often her notes were written in Medieval French in the distinct dialect of the southern region of France at the time of the Crusades. This was the period when Pope Innocent III called for the conversion or destruction of the Cathar heretics whose stronghold was Southern France. Can Creator share with us what precipitated this “uprush of memory” when Mrs. Smith was a young teenager?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Reincarnation245 views0 answers0 votesMrs. Smith revealed that the cause of her death in that life was “immolation,” or death by burning. She was burned at the stake along with many others at the time for the crime of heresy against the Catholic Church. She described the pain as “maddening” but lasting only a few minutes. To her surprise at the time, and to most people almost certainly, she described becoming cold and likened her demise to freezing to death. Death by fire is widely regarded as one of the worst deaths one could ever experience. What is Creator’s perspective, and how much of a problem does a past life death by fire present for one in a later incarnation?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Reincarnation261 views0 answers0 votesMrs. Smith in a letter to the author wrote, “Sometimes you make me very cross. Is it really so difficult for you to understand me? I have been trying to cope with this business for twenty years. I have never been able to get rid of it and you’d be surprised at the measures I’ve taken … I have never tried to force recollections … On the contrary, if ever I have forced myself to do anything it has been to try to forget, and the forcing did no good because I couldn’t forget.” Did the means of her death contribute to her helplessness in suppressing these memories? What was the number one reason that she was forced to live through this life—twice? Was this a form of helpless Post Traumatic Stress Disorder stemming directly from that time period?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Reincarnation235 views0 answers0 votesMrs. Smith wrote, “…It is a great pity that the great and organized religious bodies fail to recognize the simplicity of Christ. His true philosophy of life has been lost to them and how can it be otherwise when he has been imprisoned in the church? I am not trying to belittle the good of the church, which is a necessary place of comfort for some, but an enlightened preacher once wrote that ‘the great use of the church is to enable people to do without it.'” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Reincarnation249 views0 answers0 votesArthur Guirdham wrote, “She (Mrs. Smith) said, that if she started remembering too much she ran a high temperature and developed a severe headache. I do not know about the high temperature but the headache is interesting and perfectly in order. A proportion of cases of migraine are attributable to psychic factors.” What can Creator tell us about this?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Reincarnation219 views0 answers0 votesArthur Guirdham wrote, “Certainly Catharism must have largely spread by example and emanation, but this is not really the whole story. How did it come that a creed that which seems, to many modern students, to have been austere and pessimistic spread with such rapidity? … One factor is, I think, consistently overlooked. In the Middle Ages, people were dominated by the fear of Hell. Catharism to some extent dissipated this fear … If this world is the worst Hell one has to put up with, it must have been, even at its lowest, vastly preferable to perpetual damnation of the Orthodox Christians of the epoch.” What can Creator tell us about the rapid spread and popularity of Catharism?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Reincarnation220 views0 answers0 votesArthur Guirdham wrote, “The inquisitors regarded the purity of the Parfaits (Cathar priests) as something to be used against them, believing that, because it was associated with heresy, it must necessarily be classified with hypocrisy. Evidence for the corruption of the Roman Church at the time is adequately provided by Pope Innocent III, who instigated the Great Crusade against the Albigensians but had no illusions about the failure of his own priests.” Then there is the irony of a pope with the name “Innocent” single-handedly being directly responsible for more overt and severe human suffering than arguably any other pope in the history of the Catholic Church—as evidenced by the unhealed trauma of Mrs. Smith eight centuries later. What can Creator tell us about the irony of his chosen name and the sincerity of his belief that God was truly on his side in announcing his horrific edict?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Reincarnation226 views0 answers0 votes
