Across great swathes of France, the oppressive and violent reality of armies moving through the countryside, of battles and sieges, pillage and plunder, had left scorched earth, torched homes, and lives and livelihoods destroyed.” These were clearly the conditions that Joan’s mission life was conceived to resolve. Was it the prayers of the common people of France, a deeply religious and Christian nation, that enabled the divine to intervene in the form of Joan “The Maid?”ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers157 views0 answers0 votesJoan’s was not the only “mission life” on display in these times. The king she was commissioned to support and see coronated, clearly had a mission life to bring France’s suffering to an end. Castor wrote, “The dauphin (heir apparent to the throne of France) – whose daily routine included two or sometimes even three masses, so unstinting was his devotion.” How important were the dauphin’s own prayers in bringing about the divine intervention in the form of Joan “The Maid,” that would see his mission of unifying France and ending the Hundred Years War truly fulfilled in his lifetime? What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers165 views0 answers0 votesJoan wrote to the English, “You will never hold the kingdom of France from God, the king of heaven, holy Mary’s son; but King Charles will hold it, the true heir, because God, the king of heaven, wishes it.” But is this literally true? Creator has told us time and again that this is humanity’s world, and that no divine intervention can happen without human intention for it to be so. So can Creator explain how and even if Joan’s common notion of “God’s will” can be understood in the context of Creator’s modern teachings that humans really are in charge here?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers217 views0 answers0 votesDivine favor was seemingly on display in the battles leading up to the king’s coronation. Castor wrote, “The troops were almost in place when suddenly a stag (male deer) erupted out of the woods and plunged into the English ranks, precipitating a great shout of confusion and fear just at the moment when advance riders from the French forces were approaching within earshot. The animal had given away the English position before (the) archers had finished planting their sharpened stakes in the ground and making ready their bows.” The result was the complete rout of the English forces. Was the appearance of the stag divine intervention, or was it karma, or both?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers167 views0 answers0 votesJoan’s fortunes changed after the king’s coronation. Was her mission life essentially fulfilled at that point? During her assault on Paris, she rallied her troops promising them they would be inside the Paris walls that evening. A crossbow bolt ripped through her leg. She did not stop insisting that the city would be won as she was dragged from the ditch and carried to safety. What she didn’t know was the king had made treaties with his enemies to temporarily end hostilities for the winter, taking matters into his own hands and against Joan’s wishes and proclamations. Castor wrote, “The great theologian Gerson had foreseen this very problem. The ‘party having justice on its side,’ he had concluded after the triumph at Orleans, must take care not to render the help of heaven useless through disbelief or ingratitude, ‘for God changes His sentence as a result of a change in merit,’ he wrote, ‘even if he does not change His counsel.'” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers171 views0 answers0 votesJoan’s fortunes went from bad to worse when she was captured by enemy forces. The divine favor on full display before the king’s coronation was now seemingly missing entirely. A campaign of her own planning was her undoing. Was this plan the result of conferring with her inner guidance and getting their direction, or her simply using her own creativity? Did she go against divine advice? Or was this disaster fully karmic? What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers216 views0 answers0 votesJoan claimed that her voices, her divine counsel, assured her that she would be set free from captivity. Yet that never happened, and she was condemned and burned at the stake. Did her voices say that, knowing that “free” meant being back in heaven, versus being literally released physically? If so, how was this not a kind of divine “white lie” or “lie of omission” if Joan understood it to mean release from physical captivity rather than death? It seems understandable that the voices were attempting to comfort her and prevent her from deeply despairing. Was her martyrdom part of her mission plan, or simply a consequence of too many variables to successfully avoid?

Instead, the only possible conclusion was that she had overreached herself.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers159 views0 answers0 votesIt seems that Joan’s mission life was in fact a divine chess match with the interlopers. Can Creator share with us how Empowered Prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol are the tools needed to bring this chess match to end, in favor of humanity, once and for all?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divinely Inspired Messengers155 views0 answers0 votesThe late Psychiatrist Dr. M. Scott Peck M.D., bestselling author of The Road Less Traveled and who many regard as one of the important pioneers of the “self-help” genre, also wrote an important book titled The People of the Lie: The Hope for Healing Human Evil from which the questions for this show are derived. Dr. Peck wrote: “… for the past three hundred years there has been a profound separation between religion and science. This divorce – sometimes acrimonious, more often remarkably amicable – has decreed that the problem of evil should remain in the custody of religious thinkers. With few exceptions, scientists have not even sought visitation rights. If for no other reason than the fact that science is supposed to be value-free. The very word ‘evil’ requires an a priori value judgment. Hence it is not even permissible for a strictly value-free science to deal with the subject.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers216 views0 answers0 votesDr. Peck wrote: “Science has also steered clear of the problem of evil because of the immensity of the mystery involved. … (Scientists) prefer little mysteries to big ones.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers212 views0 answers0 votesDr. Peck wrote: “Evil is in opposition to life. It is that which opposes the life force. It has, in short, to do with killing … Murder is not abstract … Evil is also what kills spirit. There are various essential attributes to life – particularly human life – such as sentience, mobility, growth, autonomy, will. It is possible to kill or attempt to kill one of these attributes without actually destroying the body. Thus we may ‘break’ a horse or even a child. … Evil, then … is that force, residing either inside or outside of human beings, that seeks to kill life or liveliness. And goodness is its opposite.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers220 views0 answers0 votesDr. Peck had a teenage patient suffering from depression. His older brother had committed suicide with a 22 rifle a year earlier. For Christmas, his parents gave the patient the rifle his brother killed himself with. When Dr. Peck challenged the parents about the inappropriateness of the gift, the parents refused to acknowledge there was any problem with such a gift, claiming they were just simple, working people who can’t be expected to think like the doctor. They were not willing to examine and find fault with themselves at all. As a result, Dr. Peck diagnosed the boy’s depression as being the fault of the parents and threatened to call social services to get the boy to go live for an extended time with his aunt. He concluded the boy’s depression was actually healthy in this situation, and that the boy needed protection from his parents’ evil more than anything.

We may express this as a general law of child development: ‘Whenever there is a major deficit in parental love, the child will, in all likelihood, respond to that deficit by assuming itself to be the cause of the deficit, thereby developing an unrealistically negative self-image.’ … When a child is grossly confronted by significant evil in its parents, it will most likely misinterpret the situation and believe the evil resides in itself.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers201 views0 answers0 votesDr. Peck wrote, “… evil people, refusing to acknowledge their own failures, actually desire to project their evil onto others.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers178 views0 answers0 votes
