When did that become a “thing?” You hardly get a chance to become familiar with the current inventory before it’s all swept away and replaced by the “new models.” Wouldn’t a MODEL DECADE make more sense, especially when you consider how much things like tooling costs? Again, it seems incredibly wasteful to spend so much time and energy changing EVERYTHING. It’s exhausting and even disorienting. Not to mention trying to keep any of these items working beyond the warranty. Parts are in limited supply, and many items are now being made to be “non-repairable” and disposable, cell phones being a prime example. Do I really need a new phone EVERY YEAR? And nowadays the new stuff is noticeably inferior to the stuff it’s replacing. But people just assume all this is natural and inevitable. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 months ago • Problems in Society64 views0 answers0 votesWhen someone thinks of culture and tradition, the things that come to mind are consistency, predictability, longevity, and expectation of continuance. Christmas decorations were something you bought ONCE and reused year after year. Only the tree changed every year, but it was always the same kind of tree, the same size, and was always in the same corner. But traditions of any kind seem to be an endangered species in the Modern Era, to the point where many are even derided. Thanksgiving is more about football than being thankful. Memorial Day is for barbeque and beer, not visiting the gravesides of the fallen. It’s “Happy Holidays!” not “Merry Christmas!” The home-cooked meal is now in a microwave package. There are young adults who have never boiled an egg or even made toast. And again, many just assume and will even argue that all this is normal and inevitable. Really? All of human history seems to suggest otherwise. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 months ago • Problems in Society68 views0 answers0 votesChronic restlessness—the feeling you want and need something, but don’t really know what, or where it can even be found, and so we look for it everywhere. We look for it in our jobs, our relationships, and our hobbies. Some indefinable urge and insatiable hunger drive us to seek some kind of resolution, without even a complete understanding of the problem. So we will begin there. Can Creator tell us why, fundamentally, we have this restlessness?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Human Potential194 views0 answers0 votesFernando Pessoa said, “The feelings that hurt most, the emotions that sting most, are those that are absurd – The longing for impossible things, precisely because they are impossible; nostalgia for what never was; the desire for what could have been; regret over not being someone else; dissatisfaction with the world’s existence. All these half-tones of the soul’s consciousness create in us a painful landscape, an eternal sunset of what we are.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Human Potential252 views0 answers0 votesA GetWisdom founder recently shared this with a friend: “Happiness is not tied to a location. You take your happiness and unhappiness with you wherever you go. If you can’t find happiness here, you won’t find it there either – or anywhere for that matter.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Human Potential219 views0 answers0 votesAudrey Niffenegger, wrote in her first book, The Time Traveler’s Wife, “Why is love intensified by absence?” What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Human Potential195 views0 answers0 votesThis passage is from a poem by Edna St. Vincent Millay: “Time does not bring relief; you all have lied Who told me time would ease me of my pain! I miss him in the weeping of the rain; I want him at the shrinking of the tide; The old snows melt from every mountain-side, And last year’s leaves are smoke in every lane; But last year’s bitter loving must remain Heaped on my heart, and my old thoughts abide.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Human Potential171 views0 answers0 votesLionel Shriver wrote: “A lot of people get so hung up on what they can’t have that they don’t think for a second about whether they really want it.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Human Potential182 views0 answers0 votesJohn Galsworthy wrote: “It was such a spring day as breathes into a man an ineffable yearning, a painful sweetness, a longing that makes him stand motionless, looking at the leaves or grass, and fling out his arms to embrace he knows not what.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Human Potential167 views0 answers0 votesErik Pevernagie wrote: “If we only see things through the cold-eyed lens of factuality and don’t listen to the yearning and screaming of unexpressed feelings, life may remain bleak in a mire of clinical hollowness, sodden in apathy and indifference.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Human Potential166 views0 answers0 votesLouise Erdrich wrote: “Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and being alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You have to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes too near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself that you tasted as many as you could.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Human Potential190 views0 answers0 votesUnfulfilled, unrequited, and often ineffable soul yearnings can be immensely painful and even debilitating. Can Creator share how Empowered Prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol can be used to clear the obstacles to fulfillment, intimacy, and contentment, by truly equipping the individual with tools they can easily and productively use to remodel and rejuvenate their interior experience?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Human Potential193 views0 answers0 votesIn reading how the belief took hold in society that fat in the diet is dangerous, even a cause of cancer, it seems to have been embraced by the government prior to there being solid evidence. The same is true for the belief salt is dangerous and a cause of hypertension. Were either or both of these dietary substances being promoted as dangerous, a disinformation campaign to actually cause trouble by restricting them in the diet when they are in fact essential for health?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Extraterrestrial Mind Control250 views0 answers0 votesThe cousins of the Vulcans were the “Romulans” depicted as descending from the same ancestral species. Unlike the Vulcans, the Romulans EMBRACED their aggressive nature and allowed their lives to be ruled by passion. The result being that such passions led inevitably, to depravity and evil. We know the interlopers are both aggressive and atheist. Which depicts the interlopers better, the Vulcans or the Romulans? And if the answer is the Romulans, what does that say about the advocacy of controlling one’s passions as the Vulcans strive to do?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers305 views0 answers0 votesResearchers at Harvard University have shown that over time, prolonged exposure to blue light can cause damage to the retina at the back of the eye, which may lead to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and possibly other serious health and vision problems.
