Was that a celestial ship that the crowds observed? Was it Mother Mary?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Human Potential555 views0 answers0 votesWho or what was The Buddha, his mission on Earth, and how can Buddhism be reconciled with these channeled messages of the very existence of a Creator, let alone the encouragement of human partnership with Creator, when the Pali scriptures say the Buddha was only concerned about one primary matter, which was/is the complete cessation of freedom from suffering (dukkha) or the unshakeable freedom of mind, and that ultimately the Buddha rejected both theism and the soul theory because they are delusions and objects of attachment?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Human Potential426 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “Creator, what if you pray and you pray and you feel the answer is silence. You pray and you pray and every aspect of life is seemingly getting worse. You pray and pray, but no small encouraging signs with no glimpse of relief. Then, what to do to keep up the spirit and to keep praying?”ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Prayer320 views0 answers1 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 • Reincarnation247 views0 answers0 votesCreator has said previously that there is no such thing as a wasted prayer, that ALL prayers are heard and acted upon to the greatest extent allowed. However, the amount of efficacy and power will be affected by a whole host of factors, with the primary one being the belief quotient. Nevertheless, how useful to the divine is the weakest prayer ever uttered versus no prayer said at all? We ask this to try and gauge just HOW important prayer, ANY prayer, is versus no prayer?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Prayer276 views0 answers0 votesIf an atheist were to say a prayer in a mocking and derisive fashion, would that have any value at all? Would it potentially incur a karmic liability? Is this a scenario where they would be better off not saying the prayer as opposed to saying it irreverently?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Prayer260 views0 answers0 votesThe Rosary is one of the most said prayers in the history of humanity. In that sense, it is indeed a phenomenon worthy of exploration. The words, “Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee, blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God …” This is three-quarters of the entire prayer, and there appears to be no action item in any of these words. However, looked at from another angle, when one says “blessed art thou” is this an action item conferring your own blessing onto Mary, adding your intention energy and thereby increasing her divine or “blessed” status? Is that even possible? And will this benefit the one praying?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Prayer277 views0 answers0 votesWhen one sneezes and another says “bless you,” is that a genuine prayer for their benefit? Most people will utter that habitually and with little additional thought. It is also not very specific in instructing the divine to do anything in particular. Will the divine know the context in which those words were offered, and will that context play any part in determining how that prayer is utilized?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Prayer259 views0 answers0 votesObviously, it would be better if one said when hearing a sneeze, “Source Creator, protect and heal that person from any and all conditions necessitating a sneeze response, heal any and all karmic underpinnings of any contributing condition, and keep the healing going with momentum until the healing is complete.” But of course, that would be unwieldy and quite awkward if said out loud in front of an audience of people with no understanding of the implications. We are trying to gauge the value, if any, of the typical habitual “bless you,” and what, if any, use the divine makes of it. What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Prayer284 views0 answers0 votesDoes saying a prayer out loud, have any greater power or standing than saying a prayer privately in one’s mind?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Prayer304 views0 answers0 votesWhen saying the Rosary, one utters “Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners.” We know Creator has shared that using the word “sinners,” especially if one believes it about themselves, is disempowering. Yet, we finally have an action item in the Rosary prayer in the request to Mary to “pray for us.” We believe Mary is a wonderful divine and enlightened being. But the real question is, “Does this request, flawed as it may be, impose an “obligation” on Mary to pray for us?” I know as a physical human, if someone asks me to pray for them, I have the discretion to do so, or not to do so. Does Mary? Can another divine being help her out? Kind of like an assistant who responds to letters from fans of a famous person?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Prayer275 views0 answers0 votesWe have learned from Creator that asking someone to pray for us, who has a higher belief quotient, can be an effective “workaround” for doubters and those struggling with their own faith. However, that appears to be advice for making requests of fellow humans and the human receiving the request can accept or decline. But what of a request made to a light being? If one prays to “Mary, Mother of God,” wouldn’t the belief quotient come into play as well? If your faith in Mary is weak, then is Mary not going to be able to launch her own prayer beyond what she receives? Or does Mary have the discretion to bring HER belief quotient to bear in the same way an incarnated human can? In other words, is there ANY value in praying to Mary over praying to Source Creator directly?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Prayer260 views0 answers0 votesIf the Rosary does have value, it would appear its greatest value is in the final phrase, “pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death.” Is that a plea to avoid being condemned to a dark fate in the afterlife? If so, can you comment on the belief many have, as well as fear, about going to hell?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Prayer261 views0 answers0 votesCan the prayer’s phrase, “pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death” be acted on as a request for a Spirit Rescue, to ensure the departed reaches heaven and not get stuck in limbo? We presume that most people saying the Rosary, do not have the understanding they are asking Mary for a Spirit Rescue from being earthbound and stuck in limbo when they die. Furthermore, they are asking Mary to “pray” for them, essentially asking her to ask the divine on their behalf for intervention, rather than doing a Spirit Rescue directly herself. Seems it would be more powerful to ask Source Creator directly for a rescue at time of death. Can Creator comment?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Prayer256 views0 answers0 votesAs imperfect as the Rosary may be, it has been said billions, even trillions of times over the centuries. If a person prays the Rosary thousands of times in a lifetime, will they be almost guaranteed to have a Spirit Rescue done for them, even if they never had competent understanding they were making such a request? Does a weak prayer said over and over again, make it a strong prayer eventually?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Prayer269 views0 answers0 votes
