If a learned skill, how is that skill transferred from lifetime to lifetime? Is it recorded in the akashic records and made part of cellular memory during the fetus’s formation? Or is it something wholly spiritual in nature, retained by the spirit itself, and if one learns the power of persuasion while incarnated, are their newly discovered persuasive powers on display in the light between lives as genuine learning? What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 1 month ago • Limiting Beliefs59 views0 answers0 votesPersuasion is the power to effect CHANGE or perhaps prevent change. And even though there is a distinction made between persuasion and compulsion, the threat of compulsion can, in and of itself, be HIGHLY persuasive. The iconic fire and brimstone sermons delivered with great theatrics by eloquent ministers comes to mind. A “fear monger” or one who “peddles fear” also comes to mind. What is Creator’s perspective of persuasion AS compulsion?ClosedNicola asked 1 month ago • Limiting Beliefs103 views0 answers0 votesIt’s interesting to note that the iconic “snake oil salesman” never had a storefront, like a pharmacy, but instead pulled into the town square with his wagon and hawked his magical products directly to the crowds, and then often “hightailed it” to the next town before the truth of his products became more widely known. Google defined snake oil salesmen as those who deceived people in order to get money from them. The successful ones were highly persuasive people. When one has such ability, it seems so puzzling that such a person could not find a “legitimate” avenue in which to practice those skills and be successful without all the ignominy. Good salespeople are in demand everywhere and for everything—why resort to fraud? What can Creator tell us about exploiting the masterful use of persuasion to willfully engage in fraud?ClosedNicola asked 1 month ago • Limiting Beliefs85 views0 answers0 votesWhen one does a study of some of the most effective salespeople, one often encounters a mixed bag of ethically questionable tactics. One extremely successful car salesman would sit down with a phone book, call people and tell them their new car was ready for pickup. When people inevitably said, “I didn’t order a car,” he would profusely apologize and then immediately segue into asking them if they were at all in the market for a new car. With this approach, he made a fortune and set the world record at the time for most non-fleet sales made by a car salesman “one customer at a time.” Now to his credit, he was extremely likable, attentive, thorough, and did great customer service, sent birthday cards to his customers, etc. Nevertheless, a lot of his success was predicated on a lie and deception. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 1 month ago • Limiting Beliefs45 views0 answers0 votesIn reference to the above car salesman’s success, he was successful because he was good at “cold calling” which most people have a deep aversion to. Cold calling is one of the most obvious breaches of the “Golden Rule” there is. Almost everyone HATES getting cold calls, and yet most successful salespeople will assert that you need to do it in order to be successful. Brian remembers one “boiler room” telephone canvasser who bragged how she abused anyone cold calling her but had no problem doing cold calling for a living. The stark hypocrisy was dramatic and utterly remorseless and unapologetic. She literally thought it was “hilarious” and laughed about it. Brian found it disturbing, to say the least. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 1 month ago • Limiting Beliefs67 views0 answers0 votesCold calling works precisely because so many people have an aversion to doing it. That alone makes it a successful strategy for those who can bring themselves to do it. Brian did sales in the late 80s and struggled with this dilemma. A rule of thumb is it takes 10 calls to get a lead, 10 leads to get an appointment, and 10 appointments to get a sale. Brian demonstrated to himself that, indeed, the formula works and managed to get a house listing as a result. But rather than being encouraged by his success, he was so overcome with guilt about disturbing people eating dinner that he eventually abandoned sales as a career altogether. Cold calling cannot work if everyone does it. Everyone’s phone would ring all day long and it would be utterly chaotic and untenable. There is the idea that, if “everyone” can’t, then maybe no one “should?” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 1 month ago • Limiting Beliefs117 views0 answers0 votesAnother successful sales guru made a fortune selling heavy stainless steel cookware door to door. (A direct form of cold calling that predates the telephone). He frequently recounted one sale he made where the woman initially slammed the front door on him and, in response, he went around to the back door to apologize for knocking on the front door. He was so charming and disarming, that the woman felt bad about mistreating him and consented to listening to his presentation as a way to make amends. She ended up buying the very expensive cookware he was selling. We are confronted with the dilemma of his apology being “insincere,” because he certainly felt no remorse about knocking on her front door at all, much less her back door after she made it clear she didn’t want to interact with him. What is Creator’s perspective on this anecdote, and what positive and negative divine lessons can we learn from it?ClosedNicola asked 1 month ago • Limiting Beliefs48 views0 answers0 votes“Breaking the ice” is a phrase in common usage. The online Free Dictionary defines the term this way: “To do something as a means of reducing or eliminating shyness, awkward tension, or unfamiliarity.” So much of persuasion founders on this “iceberg” that the term is quite an ingenious summation of a common problem requiring great skill to master. When someone knows or learns how to “break the ice” effectively, the world is literally their oyster. This is clearly a very important “art of living” skill and lesson that so many people would benefit from mastering but struggle with intensely. What divine insight can Creator share about this common dilemma and challenge?ClosedNicola asked 1 month ago • Limiting Beliefs54 views0 answers0 votesLike so many things dragging us down in this world, an inability to master the art of persuasion has to be up there pretty high on the list. How much of this is a deep healing need requiring divine intervention to resolve? How can Empowered Prayer, the Lightworker Healing Protocol, Deep Subconscious Mind Reset, and Divine Life Support help to heal the barriers to becoming a persuasive individual? How can divine partnership ensure that the power of persuasion is used to uplift rather than abuse?ClosedNicola asked 1 month ago • Limiting Beliefs43 views0 answers0 votesBoth Allan Kardec and Karl Mollison share not only similar interests and agendas, but a notable similarity of the organization of their written work, and that is the question-and-answer format that we see in Karl’s e-books, the Divine Wisdom Database, and originally in The Spirits’ Book by Allan Kardec. Are there criteria for soul characteristics that manifest in earthly existence that pass from one incarnation to the next?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Allan Kardec503 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “It’s very painful to hear my son scream but it seems to be the only thing that helps him receive any kind of feedback from us. I was guided by my friends at my church that they regretted not spanking their children. And the Bible quotes about sparing the rod. Are we in divine alignment spanking our son when he does make improvement from this? But it also sounds like an exorcism because of the way he has been programmed by the darkness.” What can we tell her?ClosedNicola asked 2 months ago • Divine Guidance95 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “I humbly seek Your wisdom on what lies beyond our earthly existence. When our souls leave the physical body and, as I understand, we transition into a new spiritual dimension, will we be able to interact with those who came before us? Will we have the opportunity to speak with figures such as Adam and Eve, or Mary and Jesus, and learn from their earthly journeys? And, beyond this, might we also connect with ancestors we never met in this life, such as great-grandparents or other family members? I seek to understand more about the bonds that transcend time and the connections that await us in Your eternal light. Thank you and I apologize if this or something similar had been asked.”ClosedNicola asked 5 months ago • Divine Realm145 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “Can Creator tell me what I did exactly in past/parallel lives to become targeted by the Extraterrestrial Alliance?”ClosedNicola asked 7 months ago • Subconscious Mind144 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “Once the Ascension commences, will those of us who ascend be able to return to Earth again and again, to bear witness and teach the rest to prepare and join us? And as a way to irrefutably convince those still on the old Earth?” What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 7 months ago • Human Potential125 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “My stepson of 24 struggles to make progress in life. He becomes overwhelmed at job interviews, has had minimal romantic relationships, and shows no signs of being able to support himself or contribute to the running of the home. He becomes ill or angry when challenged about any of this and spends a lot of time watching TV in his room, on his phone, or gaming. To what extent are these difficulties karmically created, character traits that need development, or signs of mental illness that needs medical intervention?” What can we tell him?ClosedNicola asked 8 months ago • Divine Guidance161 views0 answers0 votes
