That clarity of mind, which is so hard to obtain, dispels fear, but also blinds. It forces the man never to doubt himself. It gives him the assurance he can do anything he pleases, for he sees clearly into everything. And he is courageous because he is clear, and he stops at nothing because he is clear. But all that is a mistake; it is like something incomplete. If the man yields to this make-believe power, he has succumbed to his second enemy and will fumble with learning. He will rush when he should be patient, or he will be patient when he should rush. And he will fumble with learning until he winds up incapable of learning anything more.” This sounds like a kind of arrogance, that the being defeated by clarity is one who thinks himself, falsely, as enlightened—falsely complete. Don Juan says, “He will no longer learn or yearn for anything.” Sounds like a lot of atheists and skeptics! (Which we know the ETs are.) The antithesis of humility. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Non-Local Consciousness212 views0 answers0 votesCastaneda asks how to avoid being defeated by clarity. Don Juan responds, “He must do what he did with fear. He must defy his clarity and use it only to see, and wait patiently and measure carefully before taking new steps; he must think, above all, that his clarity (his enlightenment?) is almost a mistake. And a moment will come when he will understand that his clarity was only a point before his eyes. He will know at this point that the power he has been pursuing is finally his. He can do with it whatever he pleases. His wish is the rule. He sees all that is around him. But he has also come to his third enemy, Power!” Fear and clarity (or arrogance) can interfere with obtaining true power. What is Creator’s perspective on Don Juan’s recipe for overcoming the second natural enemy to enlightenment—clarity?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Non-Local Consciousness244 views0 answers0 votesDon Juan talks of the third natural enemy to enlightenment: “Power is the strongest of all enemies. And naturally the easiest thing to do is to give in; after all, the man (or the being) is truly invincible. He commands; he begins by taking calculated risks, and ends in making rules, because he is a master. A man at this stage hardly notices his third enemy (power) closing in on him. And suddenly, without knowing, he will certainly have lost the battle. His enemy (power) will have turned him into a cruel, capricious man. Such a man has no command over himself, and cannot tell when or how to use his power.” The mistake, it appears, is thinking the power is HIS to use as he pleases. He thinks he owns the power, rather than being a steward of it. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Non-Local Consciousness220 views0 answers0 votesCastaneda asks Don Juan how to defeat the third enemy to enlightenment—power. Don Juan responds, “He has to defy it, deliberately. He has to come to realize the power he has seemingly conquered is in reality never his. He must keep himself in line at all times, handling carefully and faithfully all he has learned. If he can see that clarity and power, without his control over himself, are worse than mistakes, he will reach a point where everything is held in check. He will know when and how to use his power. And thus he will have defeated his third enemy.” Is it safe to assume that all the fallen angelics and ET Alliance members have been defeated by the enemy, power, if not by clarity (or arrogance) and fear, that NONE of them have “control over themselves?” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Non-Local Consciousness236 views0 answers0 votesIn all the questions asked so far, there was no mention of divine partnership. It seems Don Juan was giving a tutorial on how to achieve enlightenment without Creator’s assistance, which is apparently something very few can ever manage on their own. How does partnership with the divine, using Empowered Prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol, make the genuine attainment of enlightenment, and the defeat of the enemies of enlightenment, possible for the many, instead of the intrepid few?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Non-Local Consciousness224 views0 answers0 votesFor the benefit of our better understanding, and with all due respect to you as the being with absolute power in the universe, how does Creator avoid corruption, if absolute power corrupts absolutely?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers446 views0 answers0 votesIn a previous channeling on Lucifer, Creator said, “In the particular universe you find yourselves at the moment, things were more successful than the prior iteration.” Can Creator elaborate on that statement? The current universe is estimated to be about 14.5 billion years old. Where on that timeline did the so-called “War in Heaven” start to become a serious problem? Was there karmic baggage from previous universes that played a role to trigger and help to fuel the current dilemma?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers448 views0 answers0 votesWe know from Creator, that Karl earned greater access to the divine while in this physical incarnation, on account of his service and success in his previous life as Allan Kardec. Can we safely assume that Lucifer attained his role in a similar fashion, as stated previously by Creator, that “Lucifer was an archangel of the highest order and was entrusted with dominion over the angelics within the Milky Way Galaxy as a whole?” Can Creator share with us more of Lucifer’s “resume” that earned him the trust to have “dominion over the angelics?”ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers385 views0 answers0 votesAnother question arises from this statement by Creator: “So this well-known risk of power, that ‘Absolute power corrupts absolutely,’ has applied once again in the story of Lucifer. This need not be so, but if not guarded against is a trap for the unwary.” This seems to be a bit of a paradoxical conundrum. On the one hand, Creator is saying “if not guarded against” followed by “trap for the unwary.” The word “unwary” implies ignorance, a critical lack of experience with negative consequences, and failure to take precautions. Is this essentially what happened to Lucifer? Was he a victim of his own prior successes—too much success, and not enough failure to truly instill in him the wisdom and forbearance needed to avoid catastrophe?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers303 views0 answers0 votesCan Creator further comment on the hazards of too much success, too quickly? Is the only true cure for a critical lack of experience, more experience? Humans, in particular, have a tendency to reward the successful with even more responsibility and access and control of resources. There is also the time-worn caveat of people rising to the level of their incompetence. The ultra-successful have the added danger of getting there faster and, as a result, not just reaching the level of their incompetence, but over-shooting it by a wide margin—finding themselves in a situation where they are not only incompetent but grossly so. Is this also a fair characterization of what happened to Lucifer?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers291 views0 answers0 votesHow much does Creator have to actively manage the expectations of light beings? Was there a consensus about Lucifer’s readiness for greater power that Creator felt the need to support? Is the divine prone to reward success with more responsibility, even when there is concern about the poverty of true wisdom as a result of uneven development? Did Creator feel duty-bound to reward the successful Lucifer, knowing the extreme hazards awaiting him, and his potential inability to cope with them?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers352 views0 answers0 votesCould Creator have said about Lucifer, “I told you so,” and not to just Lucifer himself, but to all those who eagerly supported his attaining a position of power? Was Creator surprised by the outcome? Did Creator earlier regard the possibility of Lucifer’s extreme fall into depravity as likely, or remote?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers354 views0 answers0 votesAs Lucifer was a veteran of earlier universes, he must surely have witnessed a similar “fall from grace” and descent into depravity. Did he think he was immune, that it could never happen to him? And that no amount of warnings could change that self-perception, as evidenced by this earlier channeling of Creator: “This led to the misapplication of power and inner corruption of his thinking and worsened over time despite hints and warnings he was taking liberties that were inadvisable but proceeded anyway. This led to his downfall.” We are reminded of teenagers, in particular, who ignore their parent’s advice, and then promptly go out and get themselves in grave trouble. Are we on the right track in trying to understand what happened and why?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers337 views0 answers0 votesFlash floods are dangerous, and one should never stand in running water that’s rising. At some point, you will have waited too long to escape, and once that point is passed, you will be carried away against your own will, no longer possessing any ability to rescue yourself. You will now need the intercession of others. Can Creator share how Empowered Prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol enable us humans to intercede, and even potentially rescue Lucifer and the fallen angelics, and that it is up to us, and not just Creator and the divine realm?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers314 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 Kardec430 views0 answers0 votes
