DWQA QuestionsCategory: Limiting BeliefsIn reference to the above car salesman’s success, he was successful because he was good at “cold calling” which most people have a deep aversion to. Cold calling is one of the most obvious breaches of the “Golden Rule” there is. Almost everyone HATES getting cold calls, and yet most successful salespeople will assert that you need to do it in order to be successful. Brian remembers one “boiler room” telephone canvasser who bragged how she abused anyone cold calling her but had no problem doing cold calling for a living. The stark hypocrisy was dramatic and utterly remorseless and unapologetic. She literally thought it was “hilarious” and laughed about it. Brian found it disturbing, to say the least. What is Creator’s perspective?

As we have discussed, there are many on a slippery slope where persuasion slides into coercion and, in a sense, contravenes free will. The adage, "Live and let live," comes to mind here, to let people go about their business, go about their lives; but in a frenetic world, businesses will not wait for people to come to them, and this is understandable given the disconnection inherent in the makeup of existence in the physical plane. You must be within range of the senses of others to be noticed. How to get their attention becomes the number one problem of many businesses. To do so unobtrusively is quite difficult, but the fact that a coercive act, such as cold calling, will often get results does not make it morally sound and in divine alignment. There are many situations involving moral compromise in the nature of the world, and this includes many wholesale sectors of society set up, through the advent of technology oftentimes, to exploit others through persuasion, and often bordering on coercion to get their attention in the first place, and that is what is the essence of the cold caller. They, in a sense, are hijacking your day, entering your home under false pretenses, or catching you unawares through a phone call and distracting you from doing useful work, for example. That is a small thing at the outset but when it results in an economic loss, or some other diminishment through lost time, the liability grows and so will the karmic debt of the cold caller setting things in motion. So your accurate description of the repugnance people feel, in many cases, to take on that role, to be a salesperson making cold calls for an organization, for example, is not only because people might not be skilled in the art of persuasion but will experience inner conflict, and this can include the pricking of their conscience via the higher self, sensing intuitively it is out of divine alignment, and this will cause inner disquiet. So it is more than feeling ill-suited, just in terms of one's personal skill set, it involves a moral dilemma to some degree as well, depending on the nature of the goods and services being offered.
