Today’s questions for Creator are taken from or inspired by Dr. Viktor Frankl’s comprehensive book The Doctor and the Soul. Dr. Frankl was already a world renowned psychiatrist when he and his family were captured and sent to the German concentration camps. He was the only member of his family to survive the ordeal. When Dr. Frankl first entered the camp, he had with him an unpublished manuscript of The Doctor and the Soul. He was horrified as the Nazi guards took the only remaining copy of his life’s work, and quickly destroyed it, utterly ignoring his desperate protests. In a very real sense, Frankl himself became the crucible of the destroyed manuscript’s contents, forced by circumstances to become the principal test subject of his own insights and theories through his own horrific experiences. How much of this was due to karmic factors, versus a backlash from the interlopers for his successful career and contributions to the mental health field?

Frankl wrote: “… even a man who finds himself in the greatest distress in which neither activity nor creativity can bring values to life, nor experience give meaning to it, even such a man can still give his life a meaning by the way he faces his fate, his distress. By taking his unavoidable suffering upon himself he may yet realize values. Thus life has meaning to the last breath … The right kind of suffering—facing your fate without flinching—is the highest achievement granted to man.” What is Creator’s perspective?

Frankl wrote: “It goes without saying that the realization of attitudinal values, the achievement of meaning through suffering, can take place only when the suffering is unavoidable.” What is Creator’s perspective?

Frankl quoted the great psychiatrist Dubois: “Of course one can manage without all that (dealing with a patient’s existential spiritual crisis) and still be a doctor, but in that case one should realize that the only thing that makes us different from the veterinarian is the clientele.” What is Creator’s perspective?

Frankl wrote: “Freud once said, ‘Try and subject a number of strongly differentiated human beings to the same amount of starvation. With the increase of the imperative need for food, all individual differences will be blotted out, and, in their place, we shall see the uniform expression of the one unsatisfied instinct.'” But Frankl by dint of direct experience, not supposition, knew better: “But in the concentration camps, we witnessed the contrary; we saw while faced with the identical situation, one man degenerated while another attained virtual saintliness.” Freud’s is the atheist’s “untested” perspective, and one we assume is shared by the interlopers. What is Creator’s perspective?

Frankl wrote: “I am absolutely convinced that the gas chambers were ultimately prepared not in some ministry or other in Berlin, but rather at desks and in the lecture halls of nihilistic scientists and philosophers.” What is Creator’s perspective?

Frankl wrote: “Previously the only obvious philosophical tenet that entered into the doctor’s work was the tacit affirmation of the value of health. Now we need to worry about WHY he (the patient) needs the health.” What is Creator’s perspective?

Frankl wrote: “It is philosophical dilettantism (or amateurism) to rule out, for example, the existence of a divine being on the ground that the idea of God arose out of primitive man’s fear of powerful natural forces. It is equally false to judge the worth of a work of art by the fact that the artist created it in, say, a psychotic phase of his life.” What is Creator’s perspective?

Frankl wrote: “Man should not ask what he may expect from life, but should rather understand that life expects something from him.” Can Creator share with us what Empowered Prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol require from the human individual? In other words, what remains within the domain of the individual to work out? Is it true that prayer and the LHP can make choices and leaps of faith easier, but cannot MAKE those choices? Are the choices themselves, the leaps of faith, left to the individual to accomplish as in the saying, you can lead a horse to water, but cannot make it drink? What is Creator’s perspective?

Yourdictionary.com has this as one of its definitions of arrogance: “The definition of arrogant is someone who is full of self-worth or self-importance and who tells and shows that they have a feeling of superiority over others.” Such individuals seem spoiled by success. Why is this such a common fault? What is Creator’s perspective?

Yourdictionary.com also has this to define arrogance: “Having excessive pride in oneself, often with contempt for others.” From this definition, we can glean that arrogance is not synonymous with pride, but with excessive pride that corrupts the person. Why does excessive pride become a toxic and corrosive influence? What is Creator’s perspective?

The common assumption is that arrogance is really a cover for deep inner insecurity and doubt about one’s standing, value, and capabilities. So this implies that not all of the arrogant fully believe their own exaggerated self-appraisal. Are some of the arrogant self-aware of their arrogance, while others are genuinely clueless? What can Creator tell us?

We know that arrogance is a huge problem for beings in the physical, especially when cut off from intuitive feedback from others. But it seems that arrogance is also a problem for light beings, as exemplified by the fall of Lucifer and his cohorts. In the light, it would seem arrogance poses a problem because nothing is hidden. If light beings are aware of the thoughts of those around them they would know immediately if someone is out of alignment. Can such naked exposure to the assessment of others produce both humbling and incendiary effects? What is Creator’s perspective?

The essence of enlightenment is to be fully in alignment with the divine. It seems arrogance of any kind would be a good indicator of how far away or close one is in terms of divine alignment. What is Creator’s perspective?
