Are those taboos enlightened or naive?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Human Corruption214 views0 answers0 votesIs it safe to assume that any prayer done for a very specific personal circumstance will likely have some parallel to prayers launched by others at some point in time, so that would allow some pooling, but for pooled prayers that are highly specific and don’t apply to many possible recipients, it will simply be skipped over?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Prayer214 views0 answers0 votesElizabeth Clare Prophet took over The Summit Lighthouse when her husband Mark L. Prophet died in 1973. He founded this organization in 1958 to spread a message combining elements of Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Theosophy. The New York Times had this to say upon her death in 2009: “In 1975, she founded the Church Universal and Triumphant, a formal religion with ceremonies and sacraments, extending the work of the Lighthouse. The religion’s teachings were derived from divine messages believed to be transmitted by the Ascended Masters, a pantheon of mystic saints and sages, among them Jesus and the Theosophist Master El Morya. Its worldwide membership was once estimated at 30,000 to 50,000 people.” What can Creator tell us about Elizabeth Clare Prophet? Did she really receive messages from Ascended Masters?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Channeling Pitfalls312 views0 answers0 votesIn the late 1980s, Mrs. Prophet issued warnings of an impending nuclear strike by the Soviet Union against the United States. More than 2,000 of her followers left their homes and gathered at the church’s compound near Corwin Springs, Montana, near the northern edge of Yellowstone National Park. There they began stockpiling weapons, food, and clothing in underground bomb shelters. Of course, the prophesized nuclear strike never happened, and the Church went into rapid decline after this, and today a much smaller remnant remains.

She lost her ability to write in just two years, and her ability to speak not long after that. We learned from Creator that Alzheimer’s is actually the workings of the deep subconscious responding to the self’s desire to “escape” overwhelming anxiety stemming from a lifetime of emotional wounding. Did the pressures of leading a large spiritual community, feeling responsible for their welfare, the distress and fallout stemming from the inaccurate prediction of nuclear war, and all that entailed, and perhaps having no one to turn to, no one she could lean on and draw strength from, create the mental conditions leading to her Alzheimer’s and relatively early passing? Were spirit attachments a contributing factor, or was this some other form of victimization? Is she in the light, or does she need a Spirit Rescue?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Channeling Pitfalls248 views0 answers0 votesWas all that doomsday preparation they did a kind of folly? Were her followers sold an interloper “bill of goods” and sent on a wild goose chase that arguably sidelined the movement, and neutered its genuine potential to awaken humanity? If the nuclear war she actually foresaw had come to pass, how would her community likely have fared?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Channeling Pitfalls199 views0 answers0 votesIn addition to being a channeler, Mrs. Prophet was an extremely knowledgeable theologian. She republished the entire Book of Enoch in her book, Fallen Angels and the Origins of Evil. She mentioned a work by Athenagoras, Legatio, written about A.D. 170 that had this line: “The souls of the giants are the demons who wander the world.” Prophet wrote that this teaching was directly from Enoch, the purported grandson of Adam (of Adam and Eve). Creator has shared with Karl the reality of Anunnaki spirits in limbo. Seems this knowledge has been available since almost the beginning of humanity but suppressed.

Prophet, rejected the role of heir apparent of her parent’s religious movement and went on to become a professor of religious studies specializing in cults, or new religious movements, which she prefers to call them. She says the classic definition of the word “cult” is nothing more than a religious movement still within the first generation of its founding. She says one of the biggest hazards of cults is the development of a “fortress mentality.” What is Creator’s perspective on cults?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Channeling Pitfalls249 views0 answers0 votesIn the 1980s, a lawsuit involving Mrs. Prophet’s church considered accusations of coercive persuasion, hypnotic control, and brainwashing. The court found the Church liable and a significant amount of damages were awarded to the plaintiff. These kinds of accusations are troublesome because to the extent they are true, that is indeed a problem, and to the extent they are not true, this creates a potential legal landmine for religious movements to have to navigate and avoid. The case created an important precedent that could potentially target any religious movement. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Channeling Pitfalls170 views0 answers0 votesMrs. Prophet and her Church taught the “science of decrees.” The decree was the main form of worship practiced; a kind of rhythmic chanting prayer. The decrees call on Angels, Elementals (nature spirits), and the Ascended Masters to help bring about protection, wisdom, healing, and elimination of negative karma on Earth. Often decrees were used in an attempt to protect the person or church from the negative energy of people with hostility, or perceived hostility, toward the person or church. Some have concerns that this was a form of cursing and casting of spells. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Channeling Pitfalls189 views0 answers0 votesMrs. Prophet talked a great deal about angels, and how they were humanity’s appointed divine guardians, advocates, and helpers. In her book, I am Your Guard: How Archangel Michael Can Protect You, she talked about how one can set up a tube of light around oneself for protection. She relates this story: In Ghana, a man named Jacob was to die by firing squad. For hours prior he said decrees and visualized a tube of protecting light around him. When the guns fired, all the prisoners except Jacob fell dead. The soldiers reloaded and fired again, but he remained standing. They reloaded and fired a third time, and he remained unharmed. Frightened, the authorities let him go and he eventually became one of Ghana’s ambassadors. What can Creator tell us about this story?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Channeling Pitfalls220 views0 answers0 votesCan Creator tell us how Empowered Prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol can help GetWisdom succeed in bringing forward divine wisdom without becoming corrupted and cult-like from outside manipulation?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Channeling Pitfalls273 views0 answers0 votesDr. Richard Gerhauser recommends practicing gratitude. He cites scientific studies showing greater gratitude scores were associated with: lower hemoglobin A1c blood levels, a marker of blood sugar control in diabetics; improvements in heart rate variability scores reflecting balance of the autonomic nervous system; and higher heart rate variability correlates with lower risk of cardiovascular disease and overall better health. Healthcare workers and teachers who practice gratitude have less burnout; gratitude increases mental well-being, which can help boost the immune system and help fend off illnesses; practicing gratitude has been shown to help reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, while also improving mood; gratitude practices can boost optimism, which has been connected to factors consistent with healthy aging: less chronic disease, healthy cognitive function, and good physical function. Are the mechanisms causing these benefits from practicing gratitude purely physiologic or are other factors entering in, assuming these are valid findings?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Non-Local Consciousness240 views0 answers0 votesDr. Richard Gerhauser says practicing gratitude can be done by keeping a journal, a daily list of things one is grateful for. Things written down can be put in a gratitude jar as a visual reminder. Other approaches include meditation and prayer. What is Creator’s perspective on how best to benefit from an attitude of gratitude?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Non-Local Consciousness258 views0 answers0 votesA practitioner asks: “I had an idea recently that I think could possibly improve the LHP even further. I could be totally off base, and this idea may well already be covered in the LHP, but I thought it was at least worthy enough to inquire about. The concept I’m alluding to is the concept of sin. Now I am well aware of the negative connotations this word may have in the minds of many because of the corruption of many religious institutions. However, I believe sin may be a different concept than karma, which of course is extensively covered in the LHP. I came to realize recently that sin may be more like a spiritual disease or dysfunction that of course affects the spiritual body, but in turn affects the emotional, mental and physical bodies as well. Kind of an advanced karmic entanglement that in a way feeds and exacerbates itself by design. A snowball effect of free will gone the wrong way. I think adding the idea of transmuting sin for the clients as well as the perpetrators could potentially accelerate the healing process. I believe this may also be of great benefit to those who suffer from homosexuality and transgender afflictions as well.” Would adding something like this to the Lightworker Healing Protocol be beneficial?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Lightworker Healing Protocol268 views0 answers0 votes
