Do the Amish have a collective divine life mission to act as a backup, a fail-safe in case of a long-term grid collapse? Have they single-handedly ensured that the “old ways” of self-sufficiency and self-reliance are preserved, and can be quickly taught to others if desperately needed? Were these times foreseen, and the Amish “volunteered” to play this role? What can Creator tell us?

A practitioner writes: “I’ve never heard any Buddhist teacher talk about protection from beings. There is a story in the Pali Canon of when a group of monks were meditating in a haunted forest and were getting attacked by demonic type beings, and the Buddha taught them loving kindness and compassion meditations, and these beings were transformed by these meditations.” Is that all the Buddha was doing to stay safe? Will this work for the average person?
