If you’re in court being charged with a felony, you’re probably going to be tempted to lie. Or if your girlfriend asks you if the sweater she is wearing makes her look fat; you’re going to lie because you love that person. There are different reasons and justifications to lie; it’s human nature.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Divine Guidance230 views0 answers0 votesPamela Meyer said, “White lies keep social dignity intact and are far more prevalent than most people realize. Several studies have found that an average person is lied to from 10 to 200 times a day – mostly just to keep a conversation going, to avoid conflict, or to establish a connection with someone.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Divine Guidance249 views0 answers0 votesBarry Ritholz said, “Little white lies are told by humans all the time. Indeed, lying is often how we get through each day in a happy little bubble. We spend time and energy rationalizing our own behaviors, beliefs, and decision-making processes.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Divine Guidance226 views0 answers0 votesDale Carnegie wrote the multi-million bestseller, How to Win Friends and Influence People. Advocates would say that Carnegie taught a method of manipulating people that created “win-win” scenarios, where both the manipulated and manipulators benefited. The detractors would say Carnegie’s methods can be used to screw people. Any kind of indirect manipulation is problematic, as it arguably violates free will, especially if used to encourage “uninformed” decisions. Hypnotist and Researcher Dick Sutphen wrote of Carnegie in his book, Radical Spirituality, “The Carnegie Course teaches you to say what will work to get what you want. Isn’t that being phony or a hypocrite? Forget sincerity, forget honesty. Forget being real. Carnegie teaches you to be a diplomat and wear a mask. Masks are the fear that who and what you are isn’t adequate, so you pretend to be somebody else.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Divine Guidance241 views0 answers0 votesSutphen, additionally, said this about Carnegie techniques, “If you use Carnegie techniques to win friends, the friendship has to be based upon a two-way manipulation. You pretend to be the mask to attain friendship and they will be your friend as long as you wear it. What happens when your mask slips and they find out who you really are? Do you need any relationship or association so badly that you’re willing to repress your real self in order to attain it?” Many would answer YES – they have a mortgage to pay, and must wear the mask in order to stay employed. Sutphen was an independent businessman and had more freedom in that regard.

In these situations, allowing a person to continue believing and acting in a way that is contrary to the actual truth of a situation is often characterized as “lying by omission.” There can be countless motivations for doing this, from greed to sympathy to personal safety. Some would argue that lies of omission are just as dishonest as overt lies.

Most people would argue that this is an imperative and that it would be almost impossible to raise healthy children without having to resort to them. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Divine Guidance241 views0 answers0 votesDr. Viktor Frankl wrote that in his opinion, it was possible to “lie with the truth.” He cited as an example a man who came to him plagued with guilt about an illicit affair he had some 20 years earlier. His wife never learned of it and was still ignorant of it when he sought Frankl’s advice. Dr. Frankl implored him NOT to tell her. His reason for doing so was because he believed that the man truly loved his wife and had no desire to traumatize her. Based on what he knew of the man’s wife, he was convinced that there was little to no chance of the wife receiving the news without drawing the false conclusion that he did not love her, and consequently would not be able to forgive him. So he attempted to coach the man, that telling her the truth, would be akin to lying, for it would encourage her to believe a lie—that her husband did not ever love her. The man ignored Frankl’s advice, and the result was an ugly divorce with both parties deeply emotionally traumatized. Was Frankl right?

Number 50 was, “Refuse to make choice based upon the expectations of others. Instead, act in ways consistent with your purpose.” Out of the 69 reminders, this one, if followed uncritically, could cause a great deal of trouble for a person in this world. Sometimes, not telling someone, like an authority figure, what they want or expect to hear, could be quite problematic.

Yet, in the realm of remote healing, it is possible to heal or attempt to heal someone without their knowledge, which would render moot any notion of their consent. Isn’t that dishonest? Can Creator tell us if Empowered Prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol are exempt from that concern, and if so, why?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Divine Guidance290 views0 answers0 votesCan you give us some clarity on the Fatima Prophecies?

Does this mean the positive karmic imbalance might lead to future incarnations where they will have interactions with the being in question?”ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Lightworker Healing Protocol296 views0 answers0 votesA practitioner asks: “To satisfy the Law of Karma, how can a recipient of a Lightworker Healing Protocol session ever pay back the good that was done for them at the behest of a practitioner? And does it have to be paid back specifically by the receiving person in question or can the positive imbalance incurred also be paid out via other means or beings, so the LHP practitioner would receive some blessings over time but not necessarily with a direct connection to the original recipient of the LHP session?”ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Lightworker Healing Protocol279 views0 answers0 votesWilliam Shakespeare said, “Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 3 years ago • Metaphysics387 views0 answers0 votes
