DWQA Questions › Tag: punishmentFilter:AllOpenResolvedClosedUnansweredSort byViewsAnswersVotesPeople seem to love a good comeuppance, except when it happens to them. Bad behavior meeting instant justice is like gawking at a train wreck—you know it’s terrible, but you can’t help looking at it. Of course, part of the reason it’s compelling to look at is that there is no direct sharing in the pain of the experience. In the military, the practice of punishing an entire platoon for the aberrant behavior of a single recruit or draftee has been discovered to work well in reducing such behavior across the entire group. Forcing them to share the pain would not be “fun” at all. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Karma278 views0 answers0 votes“No pain, no gain,” is a common expression whose truth seems apparent. In the rest of the universe, it appears that an emphasis on the avoidance of pain means there is little genuine risk-taking as compared to the recklessness we see amongst humans here on Earth. Sometimes a greater good emerges from a painful and risky undertaking. Is this recognition part of the incentive for creating the Free Will Project?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Karma299 views0 answers0 votesSo it appears that in the rest of the universe, beings are not truly self-managing. We see that here on Earth in the animal kingdom. It seems an instant karma system would be akin to everyone wearing a “shock collar,” to suggest a crude metaphor. Yet, every Free Will Experiment to date has failed when that shock collar is removed. So it seems the goal is to mold, train, cajole, and motivate intelligent beings to become self-managing in a successful way that works in a crowd, and not in isolation. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Karma253 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “Can cellular memory be inherited or passed down from a parent/family member? If so, and if we become aware that this feeling or memory does not “belong to us” but can see where it originates, do we inherit that particular cellular memory as an opportunity to be an agent/conduit for a healing request for something we would otherwise not be aware of or is it just the way things work? Is the saying “the sins of the father are visited on the son” alluding to this?”ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Karma216 views0 answers0 votesHumanity is taught from the earliest age that Innocent victims owe nothing, and are in fact owed almost everything. We see this demonstrated in everything from a cop dedicating an entire career to solving just one murder, to victims becoming instant millionaires via online fundraising sites. “Innocent victims are owed JUSTICE!” is always the rallying cry that goes forth. Finding and punishing the perpetrator seems the most obvious duty owed to victims. Does this obsession with justice do more harm than good?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Karma351 views0 answers0 votesRarely is justice swift, and when it is, it is often unjust itself. This puts the victim in a kind of limbo waiting for closure that may be long in coming. This leaves the victim, as well as onlookers, feeling powerless. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Karma395 views0 answers0 votesThis whole notion of closure seems less than ideal. It is regarded as of the utmost importance to achieve, and yet, in the end, how much does it actually change? The victim has no role to play but to sit and wait for something outside of themselves to happen. Can Creator comment on this notion of achieving closure, as something that must be done for the victim, rather than by the victim?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Karma357 views0 answers0 votesVictimhood is widely equated with powerlessness. We expect victims to be powerless, fragile, distraught, and in need of protection and isolation. This seems counterintuitive if the goal is to empower victims to heal themselves to the greatest extent possible. The thinking seems to be, if we just leave victims alone, somehow their suffering will slowly evaporate and they’ll bounce back when they are ready. Once again, waiting for something to happen to them rather than making something happen themselves. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Karma351 views0 answers0 votesVictims are often thought of as “damaged goods.” This has been especially true in regard to the crime of rape, to such an extreme that some cultures have even blamed the victims themselves, and had them put to death along with the perpetrator, or even instead of the perpetrator. There is truth to the notion that emotional trauma can be crippling, and transform a once happy and gregarious person into someone almost unrecognizable. Some victims are so conscious of this fact, that they go out of their way to say, “It was no big deal.” What is Creator’s perspective on this dilemma?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Karma346 views0 answers0 votesIn all these questions we have been exploring the idea of the innocent victim who has no duty, and to whom everything is owed by agents and circumstances outside of themselves, that victims are special, but even so, may be regarded as undesirable damaged goods by some, or even many. In contrast, Creator said this in last week’s radio show: “As the guardian of your own soul, you are responsible even for healing what is done to you by others.” This seems to be quite a departure from the notion of the helpless victim, powerless to remedy their own situation. Can Creator comment further?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Karma352 views0 answers0 votesCan Creator share how prayer work and the Lightworker Healing Protocol can empower victims to heal themselves and even their perpetrators, and rise above and away from the self-perception of being an innocent and helpless victim?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Karma503 views0 answers0 votesSolitary confinement is widely considered one of the cruelest forms of punishment that can be imposed on a human being. Is solitary confinement “weaponized boredom?”ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Human Corruption349 views0 answers0 votesEternal life has always been presented to humanity as something to strive for, as something difficult to attain, and easy to lose, or worse perhaps, spending eternity in hell. If our reality is indeed that we possess eternal life as a simple fact of our existence, is the endless fretting over it the greatest of all human follies? What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Human Potential386 views0 answers0 votesThe problem of atheism presents another vexing dilemma. Most atheists hardly appear “indifferent” when asked about God, which would be their emotional state if they truly disbelieved fully in God and creation. Rather, they often come across as angry and rebellious and even spiteful. And they especially reject the notion of eternal life, perhaps more vehemently than any other, as if rejecting it would make it personally less real for them. Is it eternal life, or eternal damnation that is their foundational fear? Is rejecting the existence of eternal life really to remove the danger of eternal damnation along with it?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Human Potential383 views0 answers0 votesThere’s an old and oft-repeated saying “Careful what you wish for.” What is Creator’s perspective on that statement?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Limiting Beliefs348 views0 answers0 votes
