A practitioner asks: “Lately, whenever I am performing a Lightworker Healing Protocol session, my hands and arms start to shake. I typically have my hands pressed together in front of my heart. This shaking is sometimes violent and can go on for a good portion of the session. What is causing this?” What can we tell her?

This is simply a symptom of inner fear. Your deep subconscious has grave reservations about your doing healing for others, even though it is being done through the divine realm. This is a more primitive part of the mind that thinks in a more concrete fashion. Its forte is pattern matching and so it is comparing your current life to other lifetimes where you have been in harm’s way through doing humanitarian work that was forbidden and you were punished grievously for doing so. Your deep subconscious is wanting, simply, to protect you and itself from harm by trying to warn you about taking that path yet again. It is even doing its utmost to control the body in a way that could stop you. That is why there is even a muscular reaction that represents a visible inner conflict about following the conscious will to put the hands in a prayer position and carry out the healing work. The deep subconscious is trying, in effect, to stop you the best way it can.

You can work to allay these fears by making this a client issue for your own healing when you use the Lightworker Healing Protocol. That will enlist the help of the divine realm to work on this issue with greater intention and that will speed up the healing needed to resolve this inner struggle. The other approach that would help to speed things up with healing would be to enlist the help of your channel to do a subconscious channeling session with your deep subconscious to address these symptoms and the origins, and that would bring up memories of specific episodes in other lifetimes that the deep subconscious worries heavily about, to resolve those traumatic events to bring self-healing and change the energetic signature within the akashic records to remove these lifetimes from the radar screen, so to speak, the subconscious worries over.

A client has asked for healing help for her Pekingese dog, who has been coughing. Will a Lightworker Healing Protocol session be of value? What else can be done to help this dog?

This dog will benefit greatly from the planned session. That is why she was guided to reach out to you. This is a karmic dilemma that includes the owner as well, as we were showing you momentarily ago. If you include her as well in the healing it will help the dog also. There is nothing we see beyond this that will be needed. The dog can right the ship on his own, especially with a little help here, and that help will be primarily through healing the owner to free the karmic interplay between her and her beloved pet. The dog is simply trying to save her and is willing to die to do so.

Can Creator share how prayer work and the Lightworker Healing Protocol can help the fearful overcome fear as an obstacle to personal and spiritual growth and success?

We would say in all cases that the answer to fear is to have an abundance of love to work with. As all love comes from the divine, turning to the divine in prayer is the surest way to get more of it when you cannot rely on human society or even human companions to be loving in the ways needed, because of their misalignment or personal dilemmas making them unavailable or ineffectual in a given circumstance.

By the same token, for deep misalignments and distortions of thinking and serious deep wounding through long-standing and repeated karmic dilemmas from traumas of all kinds through multiple lifetimes of difficulty and failure—that becomes a divine level problem, if it is to be healed at all. And that can only be achieved through direct requests to the divine using the Lightworker Healing Protocol, because it defines not only every source of potential negativity that could be causing an adverse situation and suffering of the individual, but invites the divine to apply all manner of advanced and powerful healing strategies, most still unknown to the average person. That direct request for assistance is exactly what is needed to empower the divine to, in effect, rescue the person from their dilemma through healing, which cannot be done without specific requests from the human side because of the need to honor free agency and free will. The divine cannot lead people by pointing out their dilemma and offering solutions and describe strategies to take or do it for them without their knowledge and awareness of what is truly wrong and needing to be repaired.

The availability of the Protocol is the end result of a multiyear collaboration by a dedicated researcher, in the form of your channel, going back to the well again and again to push back the frontier and keep gaining incremental new knowledge about how things go wrong and how they can be fixed, and incorporating that into a series of informed, high-level, prayer requests that can get the job done for the first time in human history—to provide such a powerful tool for the healing and saving of humanity from all of the darkness that threatens it.

Both prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol have their place and work well together. What is needed is humans to embrace those tools and put them to work over and over and over again, ideally on a daily basis. That is not a huge burden and is done in the privacy of one’s own mind and is therefore inherently safe, as all divine communication is sheltered and protected from outside listening and interference, so you are not taking risk in going against the darkness in this way. You are at risk at all other times when you are living by your own wits, under your own steam, and entirely on your own unless you have used prayer or the Lightworker Healing Protocol to request to be under divine watch and protection and to receive ongoing healing.

The choice to us is obvious: “Do you wish to live a diminished life with no hope for the future because the darkness is working to overtake and destroy you, or do you wish to be saved and healed, at long last, to end the madness and move into a higher realm of greater and more satisfying and fulfilling possibilities, with endless possibilities for expansion?” Enjoying immortality under a state of siege and endless suffering is no way to live. Living with boundless joy, endless love, and an ever-expanding panorama to explore is not only a higher and better choice, it is the greatest of possible rewards and improvements over the life you have now—the choice remains yours to make or decline.

A client asks: “Recently you did a subconscious channeling for my grandmother. This is a true blessing but as you have told many times, deep trauma takes time to heal. Right now, her mental situation is getting worse. She is having more and more hallucinations at night. For example, she wakes up and thinks that there are people walking on her roof or someone is inside her car. She calls 911, my father and uncle many times. Then she calls the police, who check the roof but nobody is there. This is turning into a serious problem. I, as well as my family, am very concerned about my grandmother. A friend and I already did many Lightworker Healing Protocol sessions of spiritual healing for her. My question is, why is she hallucinating and will another subconscious channeling be of benefit to her?”

The origin of these fears is karmic. It is not logical, but it is the consequence of the deep subconscious seeing many past tragedies and projecting that into future expectations through an abundance of caution. Even though it is intending to do its duty to provide warning of danger, it is clearly overburdening her with inner fear that is not truly justified, and this is taking a toll and is most unfortunate. Another subconscious channeling with HMR to address these fears would be helpful as it would remove roadblocks that allow the Lightworker Healing Protocol to be more effective with the karmic repair. Whenever there are inner limiting beliefs held within the deep subconscious, this restricts what the divine can accomplish through the Lightworker Healing Protocol because it must be honored as a free will choice of the client even though it might be harming the self. This is why often combining the two modalities can be very helpful to speed up getting healing accomplished within a practical span of time.

The common conception of healing is restoration, not augmentation. Creator has shared that enlightenment is fundamentally a healing restoration of past wounds. Yet, the common outlook on wisdom is not one of restoration, but one of new learning. The common impression is that one can be healed without necessarily gaining in true wisdom—including if the healing is performed by a Lightworker Healing Protocol practitioner in partnership with the divine realm. Can Creator comment on this apparent difference?

You are attempting to split hairs here when in fact the answer to your question is inherent in the very terms you yourself are using. In thinking of enlightenment, it is called “enlightenment” and not “enlearningment.” That is a clue to the fact the two are different. It is true that healing is a major part of enlightenment because that is the highest of priorities, particularly at the beginning stages of preparation for the ascension which is, in effect, your graduation party into a higher realm of existence. That will be grander and much more profound than graduation from a learning program by a human being, even at the graduate level. If you think about this, all of the preparation takes place before the granting of the degree and the rite of passage when one can start their career having gained their needed credential. So they have grown into the role all along the way, bit by bit, becoming something more, and eventually fulfilling the requirements for having expanded sufficiently to have the degree bestowed in recognition of their achievements.

In the case of the divine human, what is needed most is not new knowledge, although that is true compared to where you are at the moment. What is most needed is actually healing to repair the wounding and the defective thinking caused by the corruption of your being in lifetime after lifetime as a physical human where truth was denied to you, and so many travails encountered and negativity heaped on you that you have become quite diminished in terms of having any kind of rudimentary understanding of divine principles, let alone the inner wherewithal to truly live in divine alignment and not make a misstep. This is why healing is an imperative. It is no different than in a physical human setting where you may not be ready for advanced education and training if you were denied any schooling as a youngster and so are unable to read and write, have no concept of mathematical operations, and so lack basic tools for doing higher-level work of any kind that requires thinking and creativity in a pragmatic sense. So your preparation and preparedness involves truly clearing the decks of the damage that has accumulated in your being from a distortion of thinking and a corruption of inner beliefs. This is reflected in the akashic records of all that you have experienced, both done to you and done by you—much needs to be cleansed, cleared up, redefined, reinvigorated, or re-established in some fashion to be ready for more.

So in a sense, this is truly preparation, it is truly a restoration exercise from a historical standpoint because you were once greater than you are currently. The attainment aspect speaks to becoming greater than before, and that will certainly be true for the divine human as a consequence of intensive applied healing work to raise up the self and others, working in concert as a human family ideally, to speed the process and ensure all will benefit who can and choose to do so. So the difference between “enhealingment and enlightenment” is that extra addition of divine wisdom to not only return to divine alignment and walk in partnership with the divine with one’s thoughts, emotions, and actions but to begin to expand with greater awareness, greater depth of understanding, and greater ability to see a wider panorama of implications that will both bring you closer to Creator in functioning as well as an expansion of capability, and will truly empower you to do works of greatness beyond your current imaginings. All of that expanded capability will be inherent and a function of wisdom acquired in the process of continued enlightenment.

So we have simply segmented the journey in a simplistic way, into two phases, to emphasize for now the necessity of healing as a preparatory phase, but that is not trivial nor incidental because that will be the origin of much of the most important wisdom you will be gaining with the full enlightenment that is envisioned and intended to happen for you. It is when you have absorbed all the lessons of the tragic events of human history that you will be truly road-ready as ambassadors of the light to move freely without hindrance and holding vast power throughout the universe.

Can Creator share how prayer work and the Lightworker Healing Protocol are indispensable tools needing wide utilization if humanity and Gaia are going to ascend as forecasted?

The first and most significant contribution of prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol is the reality that without them ascension will not happen. It is an absolute necessity that humans return to a spiritual focus and reconnect to true spirituality, meaning the divine realm and Creator especially, for without a divine partnership, humans will remain too feeble and diminished and will not be able to withstand the suppression taken to its logical conclusion ending in the annihilation of humanity altogether—for that is the current plan of your oppressors. So if you want ascension to happen, you must deal with them first to solve the problem of evil that is holding you in its grip. They are in your way and the only answer for this that is feasible and can work, is for a divine intervention to carry out a healing for the interlopers so they will withdraw without greater harm to your world or the humans you share within it.

Both are important—a large body of prayer will be important to enable enough light coming from the human community to enable the divine transformation of the interlopers so they will stand down through healing to choose a benign withdrawal and see there is wisdom in doing so. That will give you the breathing room you need to continue to improve things and regain lost capability. For that, you will need a way to heal. Most prayers are too non-specific to do the job effectively. The Lightworker Healing Protocol, being a compilation of a comprehensive series of informed, high-level, prayer requests can do the job. That is the premiere tool needed, in fact, to request divine help in healing the perpetrators, and for that reason makes use of the Lightworker Healing Protocol front and center as the highest of priorities. That alone would do both things needed—healing for the perpetrators to help them disengage as well as healing humanity subsequently to prepare them for ascension.

The difficulty is time is too short for word to spread to enough humans who will engage and use the Lightworker Healing Protocol to save the day. If enough people in general pray for the betterment of humanity, the divine realm can use that collective prayer power to augment the healing work of the practitioners of the Lightworker Healing Protocol, to stretch it further and add the breadth and depth of effectiveness to reach a critical level to tip the balance in favor of humanity. So both are needed for a successful preparation for ascension. There needs to be more human capital invested in this goal. If enough people become concerned about the state of the world and are inspired and reawakened to once again embrace the idea of the Almighty and reach out to request assistance, this will be valuable in its own right, even without a greater awareness of the true nature of the evil they face or the existence of a Protocol that can provide powerful healing for all of the dilemmas that are besetting humans to hinder their progress.

Anything and everything each human being can do to help awaken their brethren and devote some time to prayer work and healing requests, especially through the Lightworker Healing Protocol, will add to the likelihood of achieving readiness for ascension by saving humanity from the interlopers who are intent on destroying them. This need not be your destiny. Your destiny can be among the stars in a glorious expansion that is never-ending. Dealing with the problem of evil has been the impediment all along, constraining the grandest of possibilities. You personally can help this to come about for the first time in existence. You can be on the frontlines and at the center of the movement to claim your birthright as a part of the divine and be a change agent through your requests for this to happen. You are needed because most will be sitting on the sidelines and their fate will fall to others.

A practitioner asks: “I often do a Lightworker Healing Protocol for someone who has hurt me many times over in this current life, so in all honesty, I have resentments, but I still do the LHP for this person. Will the healing still be as effective, since my subconscious may be recoiling while my conscious self is wanting to see healing take place here?”

In doing LHP sessions despite the past history, you are acting through the best part of yourself and that will always be seen and heard and honored with its requests. Anything within you to the negative will be discounted and ignored because we do not reward negative intentions and negative requests because they are non-divine so, in effect, they have no power to limit divine action. All that is needed from your end as a practitioner is a part of you with an honest desire to right the wrongs of history here and to heal the situation in the highest and best way. If that is done dispassionately it will be enough to get the job done. You do not need to pick and choose among your foes in who receives what benefits and who may have a lesser benefit. All such ruminations will tend to limit the positive intention you have for the healing enterprise, so the worst that can happen is some diminution of the overall intention behind your LHP session because of mixed emotions within.

So it is useful to consider this and work on healing the very negativity, the resentment you still harbor for the wrongdoing of the past, and if you make that a priority for healing in your session, that will be turning this into a positive endeavor rather than a mixed one where you want some benefits for those involved here but know consciously you are the aggrieved party and others may not be very deserving because of their past conduct. If you put that human level perspective to one side and ask for love to reign here, for you to be raised up for any and all prior transgressions and to have everything involved with that experience receive loving attention and healing, that alone will heal your perpetrators without making an explicit request. So to do the latter is certainly divine because that is an act of loving kindness and that act of forgiveness will free you as well from being tied to them through hostility and inner resentment.

So the extent to which you can mount lofty thoughts about your tormentors, you will be cutting the cord that binds you to them through the resentment of the harm they caused. This is what you want to see happen because otherwise you will be in a dance with them forever and it may come up in a life where you are not prepared, not yet spiritually awakened and mature enough to understand about healing and launching the necessary intention to solve a dilemma that threatens to overtake you. What you can do now is very much worth doing now, because you have the calm of an interlude and that is the best opportunity you will get to rebalance things without being in the middle of a contest that might be too distracting to allow doing effective healing work. So you can surmount this and get past it by holding feelings of loving kindness about yourself in the context of all that has happened to you, and that is an appeal to the divine alignment that will see all involved as victims and will bestow love to all, including the perpetrators, because that is the highest and best solution—to heal them of their wickedness will save you in the bargain and allow you to go your separate ways and not be an encumbrance in any fashion.

To the same extent that resentment keeps the struggle alive to some degree within you, your wounded state is a liability for them and will weigh on their future happiness. It cannot do otherwise because they are a victim of their involvement with you that did not go well for them. Even though they seem to have gotten the upper hand in one sense as a perpetrator, that in actuality is a lesser state of being and a greater wound to the soul than what they did to you. So love and healing will bring the forgiveness and this will liberate you as well, from continuing to feel the diminishment that is the origin of the resentment you hold within. For if you were raised up and made whole, there would be nothing left to resent because nothing is lacking, nothing is missing, nothing has truly been taken away but only temporarily, and once it is restored you are free once again to be lofty, uplifted, and soaring with the angels.

Can Creator share how the misuse of social media can create negative karma, and how the Lightworker Healing Protocol can both heal and protect individuals from the ravages and negative impact of social media?

The bottom line when it comes to human behavior and karma is that you can never get away with anything. Whether you know something to be a failing, or see it as just a casual comment or action expressing displeasure about something you feel strongly, if it is recognized as wounding by another, it will do so. The reality of existence is that everything that happens is recorded for all of time. Every life you live, every moment, and every action you take that may serve or undermine the self or those around you will be on display and reviewable by anyone including oneself. All of the good and the bad will have a corresponding energetic signature. The karmic missteps, the mistakes, the injuries to self and to others will compel the Law of Karma to seek you out as time loops back and forth and there will be an increasing pressure applied to rebalance any wrongdoing or missteps along the way. You will be rewarded for your good deeds but you will certainly be punished for the bad deeds, and that punishment will be greatly amplified because an act of negligence, whether of evil intent or not, will become compounded as the damage spreads from the initial victim to causing consequences to a whole circle of individuals beyond, who are influenced subsequently by the negativity set in motion through your actions as you proceed through life.

The extent to which this is a new idea to you reflects the reality of how far behind you are in making amends for your transgressions. The Law of Karma will bring difficulty your way as a reminder and as a kind of imperative to work to do better. It may put temptation in your path; it may put a punishment square in your way to be endured as a life lesson and a means of repaying the harm done to others or to the self in other lifetimes. If you do not get the lesson, you will not learn much from the reworking and the reliving. This is one of the purposes of the human existence, to learn to reckon with karma about serious matters and to make life better as a consequence, to become more refined, more knowledgeable, more sensitive, and more devoted to divine principles in seeking a better way to live, to serve oneself and others equally so things are in balance—that is the goal and objective of all of this.

The Lightworker Healing Protocol can be a means for bringing divine assistance, at long last, to enable karmic repair to be done in a very deep and comprehensive way to right the wrongs of history and get you out from under all of the collective consequences of prior wrongdoing. This is why so many people have so many chronic illnesses, it is the buildup of this negative karma bringing that about. The mechanistic aspects that medicine focuses on are but trivial workings of energy at the end-stage when karma has brought about a reckoning. You need divine help to truly undo the past by going across time and bringing in healing for the accumulated wounds that have led to a calamity in the current life or a catastrophe, as the case may be, as with fatal accidents and fatal illnesses.

Anything can be healed if it is appropriate from the divine perspective, in agreement with the Law of Karma, and the higher self at a soul level. This the Lightworker Healing Protocol initiates on your behalf by including requests for every kind of negativity that can befall a human being and requesting divine assistance for its healing and a restoration of the being to a higher vibrational state of divine alignment. It asks for the things you do not know to ask for and it asks for the greatest and most comprehensive strategies for healing to be employed on your behalf, and to see to this over and over in perpetuity. It includes many enhancements with leveraging to load the dice in your favor, to have multiple sources of assistance be brought to bear, to work across all times and dimensions on all your prior existences, and to keep at it until healing is achieved.

This is the closest humans can come to a state of perfection in launching a divine request. That is why we are working with you so it has been developed and refined to its present high-level capability, because it is the answer for healing the problem of evil. It is the way through which you can heal your perpetrators to get out from under their domination and suppression of humanity and its potential annihilation at their hands. This can literally save you and save them as well. Unless they are healed and withdraw, you will not be able to continue—they are too powerful. You need divine help and the only way the divine can change what is happening is through healing. That is why the Lightworker Healing Protocol is the key to your future, it is something anyone can do in the privacy of their own mind to make a great impact on the world in saving humanity.

A client asks: “I am a tad concerned about an energy I have, off and on most of the day around my head. It is like an energetic band that goes around my third eye area and then around the area above my ears on both sides. Starting about a couple of months ago, during prayer time or even during Lightworker Healing Protocol divine healing sessions, I would feel my chin being raised and a strong energy massage my third eye/ brow area/ eyes/ nose area. This would last sometimes up to 30 minutes. I assumed it was the divine realm healing any damage previously done to me by the interloping energies. This still continues today but on less frequency. Recently, the energy has become more pronounced and is intensified when doing LHPs.”

The feelings of energy around the head are indeed prior associations in cellular memory of perturbations that were done by interloping energies, primarily extraterrestrial spirits wanting to facilitate manipulation of the deep subconscious to provide both surveillance as well as reminders to you of their existence and their ability to monitor you and interfere with you if desired. This is to ramp up fear within more so than to have a direct interference with your life in a detailed ongoing way. It is to instill periodic reminders of their domination and your subjugation. Your heightened awareness in terms of intuitive reach is allowing you to tune into the cellular memory of these episodes, as it is being harbored and re-created on an ongoing basis, although at a minimal level, but enough for you to notice and to feel concern. That is only natural because it is correctly being associated with a fearful manipulation. This is not a portent of serious issues to come, but as much a relic of the past. Your ongoing healing work is serving to heal and disconnect you from entanglements with the interlopers and that is what needs to happen. So this is working nicely on your behalf. More time is needed and, in particular, to chip away at the cellular memory remnants. That is often the last thing to change. It will keep many people with chronic illnesses going for even years sometimes, still symptomatic even though the illness itself has been conquered. The continuation of symptoms makes the sufferer believe they still have the malady and this convinces the doctors often times as well, and this has a liability in keeping harmful treatments going long after they are truly needed to suppress symptoms. The effects of cellular memory will not be readily contained with medical therapies and so there is only risk to the patient and not benefit.

Can Creator share how prayer work and the Lightworker Healing Protocol make a difference, if any, for loved ones already in the light?

The interconnectedness of consciousness enjoyed by members of the divine human family is intact wherever the beings might reside. So whether they are in the light or in the physical during an incarnation, all are nonetheless interconnected. That is true for any beings in limbo as a lost soul spirit. The question always is, “To what extent they can see and share information with one another and sense the energy of one another?” The light being sees all in the physical. They see the tormented lost soul spirits stuck in limbo tumbling in the darkness alone, afraid, and often being tormented. They cannot intervene because each being must be allowed their experience whether it is one of triumph or failure. This is part of the learning curve underway that will promote human growth and be worth it in the end even with the pain experienced along the way.

When you say a prayer for a loved one who has passed, it will literally bring them to your side. They will know you are thinking of them and that loving gesture will attract them to you. This is simply an example of divinity on display and why we call you “divine humans.” You are love‑based beings. That never changes. It can be suppressed through your diminishment, especially in the physical; cut off from higher awareness and in a state of impairment and suffering physically, it will be hard to connect with a loving impulse. So if you think with your thoughts about a loved one in the light, they will come to you but you may not be able to sense this if you are not in a high enough vibration to perceive their energy around you and reaching out to you. There are limits in what they can do in any event beyond giving a greeting and making an expression of love and encouragement. Like Creator, they cannot lead you but they can help to assist you if you request their help. There are many whose loved ones are dedicated spirit guides because the individuals want this—because they trust their loved one and feel the love bond very strongly still. Even though the individual is departed, they can feel the connection is still alive and they can feel a sense that their loved one is around them and this is a good thing. It is another way that the divine realm can help those in the physical keep going and to raise up their spirits.

While in the light, the light beings do not work on their human travails, the human woundings, the karmic dilemmas they were a part of in the physical that remain unhealed, so when they reincarnate eventually they will be back where they left off. No matter what they have been doing in the light, it will not be applied to heal their physical issues because those were experienced by a portion of the soul in the physical plane and are left there on hold but within the akashic records so the energetic consequences are on file. When they return in a new body, even in a different family altogether, they will reconnect to the akashic records and the makeup they inherit will have DNA reconfigured in a way to favor re-expression of karmic attributes of prior circumstances whether positive or negative; they will be back in the saddle, so to speak, and living a quite human level lifetime and many develop difficulties even during childhood that constrain them because they will not be able to heal themselves nor will there be anyone to help them.

The Lightworker Healing Protocol is intended to change all of this. First of all, to provide a way to heal each and every human who suffers. It is not the fault of the divine that the average person has more wrong with them than can be healed in a lifetime of divine healing and so may never surmount all of their difficulties even with this Protocol applied avidly on their behalf. That is simply the sad state of affairs things have led to over the many centuries of subjugation and suppression by the interlopers to cause so much karmic wounding and to manipulate humans to prey on each other and compound the damage. When the Protocol is more widely embraced, the odds will be much, much higher that humans coming into new lifetimes will be in a setting where they will have someone who works on their behalf with the Protocol to catch them up much more quickly than would otherwise happen, and in this way humanity will gain ground with tremendous speed.

The Protocol as well contains within it the instructions to the divine to enable for the first time ever, an effective ongoing healing of those in the light for their human level issues they left behind. This is done through retrocausal healing so that it can be applied back in time and forward in time while that light being is in the physical plane. So even though they might be in the light when the Protocol session is done on their behalf, the healing can be applied by Creator when they were back in their most recent incarnation and the one before that, and so on, as well as applying it to future lives that may be underway, in fact, as future extensions of what has come before. This is why humanity is gaining ground despite what it seems with your world being so troubled with so much struggle and suffering and having calamity after calamity, often simultaneously hitting you from all directions—this is intended to happen by the interlopers.

The answer is the combined power of prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol because it is also working on those interlopers directly. That is the main purpose of the Protocol, to heal the evil ones among you so they withdraw. Once this happens, humanity will continue through these tools to complete the healing needed for ascension finally to a higher realm of existence altogether and there will be no need to return as a physical being on the Earth. This will be a joyous new time of adventure and expansion. It is prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol that will bring that about—that is why we are promoting this effort to reach as many as possible. The question is, “When we tap your shoulder and offer this to you, will you take it and use it?” That will still be up to you, but you will inherit the consequences of that choice to say “yes” or to decline.
