Anthropologist Felicitas Goodman wrote The Exorcism of Anneliese Michel and the book How About Demons? Possession and Exorcism in the Modern World. Dr. Goodman was convinced that Anneliese was a victim of demonic possession, most likely brought about by a curse rumored to be placed on Anneliese prior to birth solicited and paid for by a woman jealous of Anneliese’s mother. Goodman said that in her experience, nearly all these kinds of possessions were the result of a powerful curse placed by powerful practitioners of the dark arts. Anneliese was a gentle, kind, intelligent, thoughtful individual who seemed like the last person on Earth to “deserve” what happened to her. So much so, in fact, that she and her family came to believe that her plight and suffering were somehow sacrificial and for the benefit of others. Because otherwise, it didn’t make sense to them. Dr. Goodman noted that in Haiti, it is believed that an exorcism will succeed only if the exorcist is more powerful than the one placing the curse. Was this the case with Anneliese as well? Did the exorcisms fail, and Anneliese died because the priests were not as “powerful” as the one who placed the curse? What can Creator tell us?

The 67 Catholic Exorcisms said by the two priests involved for Anneliese brought at best temporary relief, but in the end were considered a failure due to her unanticipated and tragic death at just 23 years old. Goodman wrote: “Exorcism is basically designed to help the afflicted person to gain ritual control over the molesting entities … Unruly spirits (also) need to and indeed can be trained. Without ritual intervention, the undoing of such a pattern is extremely difficult, especially so if the alter is evil or, in religious terms, if the possessing entity has demonic powers. … It is the only strategy used cross-culturally against demonic possession, and in all instances where it is allowed to work without interference, it is eminently successful. … The worst situation in the West is the one involving demonic possession. Those afflicted by it need help. Exorcism works, other strategies do not, yet their diagnosis and treatment are determined not by what works but by the prevailing attitudes, the paradigm concerning the nature of reality. The position is so ingrained that arguments that religious experience is accompanied by measurable and recordable physiological changes are totally ignored. Finally, it should be noted that Mary, the mother of Jesus, reportedly told Anneliese in a vision she had months in advance that her ordeal would be over on the day she actually died.” What is the divine perspective on this outcome, and were the exorcisms “successful” according to the divine? What can Creator tell us?

Spirit obsession and possession are bigger problems than most people realize. It’s a problem that spans both life and death, and affects the living and the dead in profound and nearly equal measure. Can Creator share with us how Empowered Prayer, the Lightworker Healing Protocol, Deep Subconscious Mind Reset, and Divine Life Support are the best and most effective means to resolve this vexing problem from BOTH sides of the physical and post-physical divide?

There was a recent special broadcast from the television network, CNN, on exorcisms and someone sent a link to a YouTube video excerpt titled “CNN discovers exorcism inquiries are on the rise in the US.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysD0JoDP5P8 This included an interview with a Catholic priest who performs the ritual for casting out demons and said over the past quarter century he started out doing 3-5 exorcisms about every 3 months, but this has grown to require doing 3-5 every week. A survey of exorcists by CNN confirmed demand for exorcisms has grown over the past 20 years. Comments posted by viewers of the video were at least 10:1 highly negative with a mix of political and anti-religious condemnation. What is Creator’s perspective about the Church’s role and effectiveness with respect to helping or hurting?

There is a large-scale investigation going on to probe child abuse among the Jehovah’s Witnesses and an alleged coverup by church elders. Are such incidents happening and are they being orchestrated to a large extent by extraterrestrial mind control manipulation?

A viewer asks: “Was the Prophet Jesus Christ really crucified? And if so, why? Why wasn’t he protected from the crucifixion? Also, I’ve heard of interpretations that the Prophet Jesus Christ was not crucified and, in fact, they crucified someone else who resembled him. I would like a clarification.” What can Creator tell us?

Dr. Elaine Pagels, a Professor of Religion at Princeton University, wrote a book called The Origins of Satan. She wrote: “In the Hebrew Bible, as in mainstream Judaism to this day, Satan never appears as Western Christendom has come to know him, as the leader of an ‘evil empire,’ an army of hostile spirits who make war on God and humankind alike.” She further writes, “In biblical sources, the Hebrew term the satan describes an adversarial role. Although Hebrew storytellers as early as the sixth century B.C.E. occasionally introduced a supernatural character whom they called the satan, what they meant was any one of the angels sent by God for the specific purpose of blocking or obstructing human activity.” We know Creator has said that a literal “Satan” does not exist, but is rather more of a literary composite figure. We know the fallen Archangel Lucifer is often thought of as “Satan,” but if indeed they are synonymous, why wouldn’t Creator just say that Satan was simply another name for Lucifer? How much of the crucifixion narrative can be directly attributed to Lucifer himself? Or is he given too much credit and we need to look beyond Lucifer for the leaders of the ‘evil empire’ as Professor Pagels characterized the real adversary in the crucifixion narrative? What can Creator tell us?

Dr. Elaine Pagels wrote: “All of the New Testament gospels, with considerable variation, depict Jesus’ execution as the culmination of the struggle between good and evil – between God and Satan – that began at his baptism.” Some material has suggested that the baptism was not merely symbolic, but that a profound spiritual transformation took place during the baptism; that the old soul “Jesus of Nazareth” was replaced by the “Christ spirit,” and that after the baptism Jesus was essentially a “walk-in.” Other than his birth and temple visit as a twelve-year-old, there is virtually nothing in the Bible that tells us what he did between the ages of 12 and 30 when he essentially began his ministry following his baptism. What can Creator tell us about the significance of his baptism by John the Baptist, and is there anything important to know about his years spent prior to that? Some sources suggest he was in India for much of that time period. What can Creator tell us?

Dr. Pagels wrote, “The stark events of Jesus’ life and death cannot be understood, he (the Gospel of Mark author) suggests, apart from the clash of supernatural forces that Mark sees being played out on earth in Jesus’ lifetime. Mark intends to tell the story of Jesus in terms of its hidden, deeper dynamics – to tell it, so to speak, from God’s point of view. What happened Mark says, is this: ‘Jesus of Nazareth, after his baptism, was coming out of the water of the Jordon River when “he saw the heavens torn apart and the spirit descending like a dove on him” and heard a voice speaking to him from heaven. God’s power anointed Jesus to challenge the forces of evil that now dominate the world, and drove him into direct conflict with those forces.'” Following the baptism, the mysterious narrative describes him immediately being “driven” into the wilderness, and he was in the wilderness forty days being tempted by Satan. Given that Creator has said Satan is a composite figure only, what REALLY took place in the desert during those forty days? How would Creator today characterize the adversary that Jesus struggled with and against, and what was the nature of that struggle? What can Creator tell us?

Dr. Pagels wrote, “Mark suggests that Jesus recognizes that the leaders who oppose him are energized by unseen forces.” Given the extraordinary powers Jesus possessed, he would almost certainly know who those unseen forces were. Today we know from Creator’s words that it is Anunnaki psychics interacting with humans directly, Anunnaki psychics directing lost soul Anunnaki spirits to attack humans in hit-and-run style encounters, while also instructing the Anunnaki lost soul spirits to enlist and command the fallen angelic spirit meddlers to attack and attach themselves and even directly possess human beings. Jesus is said to have driven seven demonic spirits out of Mary Magdalene—one for each of her seven major chakras. Was Jesus aware at that time that he was going against a galactic empire of extraterrestrials with mastery of time and space? Creator did say the Bible was primarily a whistleblowing document on the extraterrestrial problem. Jesus clearly knew that back in the light. Was his struggle in the desert a coming to terms with remembrance of what he was really up against, what he needed to do, and how it would likely play out? What can Creator tell us?

The widespread narrative is, of course, that the Romans crucified an innocent man. But innocent of what? Because, if anything, Jesus was extraordinarily politically incorrect. Dr. Pagels wrote, “The astonished crowds recognize that Jesus possesses a special authority, direct access to God’s power. … the scribes immediately took offense at what they considered his usurpation of divine authority. By pronouncing forgiveness, Jesus claims the right to speak for God – a claim that, Mark says, angers the scribes: ‘Why does this man speak this way? It is blasphemy! Who can forgive sins but God alone? Instead of fasting, like other devout Jews, Jesus ate and drank freely. And instead of scrupulously observing Sabbath laws, Jesus excused his disciples when they broke them. Claiming divine and royal power while simultaneously violating the purity laws, Jesus, at the beginning of his public activity, outrages virtually every party among his contemporaries, from the disciples of John the Baptist to the scribes and Pharisees.'” We are faced with the conundrum of Jesus “speaking truth to power.” The hazards of which are so visibly and starkly apparent from human history, that his eventual crucifixion was not only NOT a surprise but, in fact, an almost near certainty. Anyone wishing to follow his example and engage in speaking “truth to power,” as he did, is not likely to avoid a similar life-threatening fate. What lessons are we to best derive from this? What is Creator’s perspective?

What was the interloper perspective on Jesus and his ministry prior to his crucifixion? Is it to be assumed, like so much of the workings of the divine, that the actual spiritual, energetic, and miraculous workings performed by Jesus during his ministry were largely shielded from extraterrestrial observation? Is it true that all they saw was the aftermath of the miracles and not their actual mechanics? What did they, in fact, observe, and what were their evaluation and analytic conclusions regarding them? Was he a conundrum to them or, in their arrogance, did they just dismiss him without looking deeper? Was their engineering his path to crucifixion done with more urgency and determination than applied to other human victims throughout history? Or did they consider him utterly unextraordinary and had him crucified simply because they love giving a comeuppance to any human who stands out without their assistance and approval? What can Creator tell us about the interloper perspective on Jesus, both then and now?

Rudolf Steiner wrote “Christ in the Etheric,” that following his crucifixion, Christ took up the mission of being a “gateway” presence to the physical afterlife; that following the crucifixion, Christ could meet the departed directly in the etheric or astral plane and assist with their transition, or coach them into returning to their life here for a period longer. His presence in the etheric puts him energetically closer to humans in the physical so that we can more easily feel his presence than might have been possible before, and all of this is happening while still largely being shielded from interloper observation and interference. Since this new mission appears to have commenced after his crucifixion, was the crucifixion itself necessary or a gateway to this new mission, or purely incidental and not at all integral to it in any way spiritually or energetically? What can Creator tell us?

Since Jesus was “born without sin” or, as Creator has previously described it, “born with a reprieve” or disconnection from his own negative personal karmic legacy, can it be assumed that he therefore had full access to both his higher self (the “Christ self” perhaps) as well as his deep subconscious, both of which are largely cut off from direct interaction for most humans? Undergoing torture and crucifixion, as Jesus Christ did, would normally be EXTREMELY traumatic to both the incarnated consciousness as well as for the deep subconscious. Normally, it would be expected to have a catastrophic impact on the overall vibration of the being and, in fact, probably ensure, in most cases, that the soul would find itself stuck in limbo and needing a Spirit Rescue as a result. Yet, he rose from the dead in physical form and eventually ascended to heaven. His death is widely considered a victory over evil, but it’s hard to claim victory if you simply become more traumatized and limited than before. So just HOW did Jesus “beat the odds” and overcome the well-known traumatic hazards of such a cruel death as he endured? What can Creator tell us?
