James wrote through Susy Smith: “The thing that seems to be most surprising to most people is to learn that there is no abrupt change of personality or place immediately after death. The area in which one finds himself after he has left the physical body – to which we will refer herein as either the Etheric or the Astral plane because those are the terms commonly used when you people (who are still living physical lives) write about them – is, in its lower reaches, identical with the earth plane of existence. One leaves this (lower astral environment to higher levels) only as he becomes enlightened as to his true state and learns how to progress to more exalted spheres.” James continues, “Until you become aware of your need to advance, you may remain in your old haunts for a long, long time.” What is Creator’s perspective?

James continues: “I do not wish you to think, however, that we are immaterial beings floating around in a void. We are far from it, especially in our early stages of life in the spirit world. We have our spiritual bodies and we live in them, using them just as we used our physical bodies on Earth, but not having to be slaves to them.” James continues: “In order for you to not find this overpoweringly confusing that you are unable to cope, you are permitted by the system to live in your spiritual body in similar conditions to those you previously knew and felt comfortable with, in such close proximity to Earth that you can continue to feel at home in your new environment.” James continues: “We have always thought that if we lived at all after death, we would have to be entirely transformed immediately. We expected, if anything at all, a change of conditions so vast as to put us into an altogether different circumstance. When this does not occur, we are confused and find it difficult to accept. I must make it clear now that this transition is gradual for a very definite reason. Supreme Intelligence planned it that way as the most sensible and workable arrangement for man’s advancement.” What is Creator’s perspective?

James continues: “The expectation of an abrupt alteration into some amorphous spiritual state entirely different from anything they have ever known frequently makes people unable to understand what has happened to them when death occurs. … For one who was sure that death was the end of all existence, it is an even greater surprise to find himself still living while at the same time he can see his own body on the bed beside him, or in a car at the scene of a fatal accident, or wherever he died. There are many occasions where such a person refused to believe what has happened and decided that he is merely having a bad dream. It is possible for such a one to be in this confusion for a long time until he is finally made to realize that he has actually passed from the physical life into the spiritual.” What is Creator’s perspective?

James gives us an interesting example to examine: “Picture, if you will, the situation of one whom we will call John Jones because that is not his real name. John Jones lived a sordid life. His main interests were the attainment of money and the spending of it on himself. He was not always honest, although he could hardly be called a criminal type. He was successful in his business dealings and at the time of his death was a wealthy man. He was also an uninformed man who did not believe in anything except the power of money and his ability to make it. … His relatives who had died had long ago given him up as one they could not influence for the better, and so they made no effort to stay with him and help him (as spirit guides and guardians). When this man died suddenly of a heart attack, no one was there to receive him. I (the deceased/spirit James) heard of his death, and, having known him briefly in life, I decided to try and make his entry into the new phase of his existence as comfortable as possible. I went to greet him. … I walked up to him and he saw me and gave me a perfunctory greeting. Then he lost interest in me immediately. He was puzzled because that body on the bed looked like him, yet he was standing there feeling better than he had in years, if a bit hazy of mind because of his abrupt demise. I told him he’d had a sudden heart attack and died. He paid absolutely no attention. I repeated this several times, but he did not listen. Then finally he said, ‘Look friend, I’m having a crazy dream. I know exactly what is going on, so please stop bothering me. I have many business deals to put through in the morning and no time for such silly talk about death.'” What is Creator’s perspective?

James continues with his example of John Jones: “I gave up trying to impress him with the truth of his situation and merely stood by and watched as he went through his days. … Once in a while Jones looked at me and said, ‘This is a really weird dream. I wish I could wake up.’ Even after he had watched his own burial, however, he did not accept the fact he was dead. The day after his funeral Jones went to the stock exchange and stayed, as his wont, watching the rise and fall of stocks as avidly as he had ever done. This went on day after day. I found I could give him no assistance, so I soon left him, sitting in his office at the stock market, attempting to advise his fellow workers even though no one was aware of his presence. I checked back on him from time to time and always found him in this same situation. He told me he was getting bored with this silly dream, but he would not listen when I gave him the truth. Death has to be so different from life that this could not be death, and so he must be dreaming. This is the only explanation he would consider. If we multiply John Jones’ experience by the thousands and even millions who so live that their interests are entirely earthly and in no way spiritual, you will see that the sphere immediately after death is burdened with those who should be learning and progressing but instead are tied to the lives they formerly led.” What is Creator’s perspective?

James continues with his example of John Jones: “If anyone were to have told Jones’ former partners and business associates that they were now being influenced by Jones from the spirit world, they would laugh scornfully. They were sure their hunches and their knowledge of their professions were sufficient to account for their every instinctive move of buying and selling. Yet the fact that John Jones watched over their shoulders and frequently (if inaudibly) shouted, ‘Buy, buy, now’s the time,’ or, ‘Sell, don’t be caught in the decline that’s coming,’ probably influenced many a deal. Jones may not have known any more of the situation than the man he was influencing, and his advice may or may not have been correct, but his interest and his strongly projected thoughts penetrated the minds of his associates, whether or not they were aware of it.” What are the karmic implications of Jones’ post-death behavior? And if a former associate had spiritual protection against such interference from the earthbound dead like Jones, how would that have appeared to Jones? Or would such protection be invisible to Jones as well, given the non-spiritually progressive state he was in? What can Creator tell us?

James continues with his example of John Jones: “So you can see that spirit influence can be very harmful on occasion (James calls this “spirit obsession” as opposed to “spirit possession”). It is unfortunate that those who die in an unenlightened state are most likely to attempt to exert their influence, negative as it is. Those still on Earth who are receptive to them may, therefore, be led by them into wrong or inadvisable deeds. The humans who are influenced have no idea they are being coerced from another world when they make mistakes by following what they think is their own intuition. … Wars, you must know, do not kill a man; they only change him into an invisible enemy. Capital punishment does not get rid of a criminal, it only unleashes him in an unseen form to prey on the world in an even more harmful way.” James continues: “Being earthbound is the worst possible thing that can happen to one. It is truly a condition of hell and is so tragic that much effort is being spent from my side (the spirit world) to get the word to those on Earth who are in danger of dying without any awareness of their spiritual nature.” What is Creator’s perspective?

James continues: “Had someone been praying for John Jones, there is the possibility that he might have begun sooner to realize that he was in the spirit world. As it turned out, it was not until all his business associates had died, one by one, and he had gone to their funerals and then found them greeting him after their transitions, that he finally accepted the fact of his death. Then it was a long time before he began to do anything about improving his lot.” Can Creator tell us how Empowered Prayer, and more specifically the Lightworker Healing Protocol and Deep Subconscious Mind Reset, would have hastened John Jones’ spiritual awakening and ignited a desire for self-improvement and progression, which appears to be a needed quality on the part of the deceased to enter “the light” or spheres of higher vibration as James would characterize them? It doesn’t appear Jones had a problem “seeing the light callers,” as wasn’t James himself playing the role of light caller? What can Creator tell us?

James wrote through Susy Smith: “Closed minds, no matter whether closed on the subject of the physical resurrection of the body, heaven, hell, nirvana, or oblivion, will get one nowhere in the spirit world. It is best to die prepared for the challenging new experiences, and then whatever comes will be accepted with equanimity.” Can Creator tell us how Empowered Prayer, the Lightworker Healing Protocol, Deep Subconscious Mind Reset, and Divine Life Support are the best means by which we can ensure our own spiritual preparation for our own inevitable transition?

Psychic Susy Smith was a prolific author of 30 books on parapsychology and the survival of consciousness. One of those books, The Conversion of a Psychic: The Story of a Long Search that Led to Christ, is the one that will be heavily explored with the questions for Creator for today’s show. In the book, Susy Smith draws a distinct line between her life before her “Baptism in the Holy Spirit” and her life after. This is essentially the “born again” experience embraced by so many Christian fundamentalists and charismatics of various denominations, from Pentecostal to even Catholic. Susy Smith wrote: “[This] is the way it finally was with me, I told the Harrisons I was ready, and at the Glad Tidings Assembly of God Church, on the last Sunday in April (1977), I responded to an altar call and received the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. It is true that many people have tried for years without success to get the Baptism. Perhaps it was because I was in such a completely receptive mood that it came to me on my first try. During the time that the minister was holding my hands and praying over me in tongues, I blacked out for an instant. This was the moment I let myself go completely and accepted the knowledge of my oneness with God, with Jesus, and with the Holy Spirit. I spoke in tongues briefly and very hesitatingly, then began to cry and to quiver inwardly as well as outwardly. Even after returning to my seat, I shook for about half an hour and was in a state of complete exhilaration for hours afterward. How can I explain the feeling that has remained with me ever since? I had accepted intellectually for some years my oneness with God but, when meditating on the idea, had never had more than a pleasant feeling of what I thought was His inward presence. Now all the time, I have a glow of happiness that can be switched into high gear by prayer, by reaching up my arms and saying, ‘Praise You, Lord’ or ‘Bless You, Jesus’ or ‘Praise You, Holy Spirit’ or, most especially, by speaking in tongues in the privacy of my bedroom.” What is Creator’s perspective?

Susy Smith revealed in her book an episode that has all the earmarks of a walk-in transition. Sometime during World War II, when Susy Smith was a young adult in her early thirties, she worked in Baltimore as a hospital secretary with an extremely arrogant boss. Because the war was in full swing, single young men who were husband material were few and far between. She writes: “Toward the end of that year as a hospital secretary, I was so completely miserable that I tried to kill myself. … Over a time, many worries pile up in the mind until there comes such a feeling of helplessness that there is an inability to endure another moment of life. … Now that I was entirely resolved, I eagerly began swallowing the prescription liquid sleep aid I obtained earlier that day. The bottle’s contents could not be drunk straight down, for it would have come straight up, so I took the potion spoonful by spoonful, secure in the belief that if I got down enough of it, oblivion would forever result. But with each sip I became more and more nauseated, and finally it was impossible to lift the spoon to my mouth once more. I barely made it to my bed to rest a few more moments until the malaise might pass and my deadly chore be continued.” She continues, “The birds were chirping merrily when I awoke to a sunny morning, and I never felt better in my life. I joined them in song, actually dancing around the room in happiness to find myself alive and greeted by such a beautiful day.” This mirrors the transition experience of many, many walk-ins. What is Creator’s perspective?

Wikipedia summarizes Pentecost: “Pentecost is a Christian holiday which takes place on the 49th day after Easter. It commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles of Jesus, Mary, and other followers of the Christ, while they were in Jerusalem celebrating the Feast of Weeks, as described in the Acts of the Apostles.” Google summarizes further: “In the New Testament, specifically in the Book of Acts, Pentecost marks the day when the Holy Spirit descended upon the early followers of Jesus, empowering them to preach the gospel to people from various nations and languages. This event is considered the birth of the Christian Church. … In Acts chapter 2, the Holy Spirit is dramatically poured out on the gathered disciples in Jerusalem, marked by the sound of a rushing wind and tongues of fire resting on each of them. The disciples began speaking in other languages, enabling them to communicate the gospel to people from diverse backgrounds. … The Holy Spirit’s arrival equips the disciples for the mission Jesus had given them: to be his witnesses to the ends of the earth.” We learned in an earlier GetWisdom LIVE on the Mysteries of the Crucifixion that perhaps the biggest reason for Christ to provoke and then endure his tribulation was to establish a narrative so compelling that it would go viral and spread rapidly by word of mouth in a time and era where communication was primitive at best. To ensure that it even had a chance, it appears it was deemed necessary to go above and beyond and equip a number of Christ’s followers with the “gift of tongues” in order that listeners could hear their sermons in their native language. Can Creator comment on why this incredible level of divine intervention was actually necessary, given the communication limitations of the time, and how it all fits within the Divine Rules of Engagement?

Is there such an entity as “The Holy Spirit?” Or is it, in fact, more of a literary construct that loosely summarizes a large assortment of divine activities and agencies that would otherwise require much more explanation and discernment? Is the term “Holy Spirit” really a shorthand label for activities more accurately attributed to the higher selves, guides, and guardians of each and every individual rather than some mysterious and nebulous and nameless “Holy Spirit?” We know the connection between incarnated souls and their higher selves is compromised, but can such connections be healed and restored so long as there is sufficient human intention acquired from prayer? In this case, the intention would come not from each individual alone but from a vast pool of intention from millennia of individuals praying for divine intervention and deliverance. It’s not God’s will that brought all this about, but human will, and God and the divine realm were responding to that beseechment in a highly calculated and intentional way which, while miraculous in contrast to most living in that time, still fit within the Divine Rules of Engagement as it allowed skeptics to disbelieve. It should also be noted that most of the recipients of this so-called “gift” encountered great difficulty pursuing their missions, and while successful overall, often paid for it with unspeakably cruel punishments and death sentences. Many made every bit as much of a sacrifice and experienced every bit as much pain and hardship as Christ himself did. What is Creator’s perspective?

Susy Smith wrote: “During altar calls, when people may be lined up awaiting healing or Baptism in the Holy Spirit, there are numerous accounts of foreign languages having been spoken that were recognized by someone present as bringing him a specific message. The Reverend Dennis Bennett, an Episcopal charismatic leader who has been in the movement since 1960, and his wife, Rita, give a good instance in their book, The Holy Spirit and You. They tell of a young Christian who had married a Japanese girl while stationed in Japan with the armed forces. Having returned to the United States with his bride, he took her to a Full Gospel Church in Oregon, but she prayed her Buddhist prayers even while he was praying to God through Jesus Christ. ‘Next to them was kneeling a middle-aged woman, a housewife from the community,’ the Bennetts say. This woman began to pray aloud in tongues, and the Japanese bride suddenly seized her husband’s arm. ‘Listen!’ she whispered in excitement. ‘This woman speak to me in Japanese! She say to me: “You have tried Buddha and he does you no good; why don’t you try Jesus Christ?” She does not speak to me in ordinary Japanese language, she speak temple Japanese, and use my whole Japanese name, which no one in this country knows!’ It is not surprising that this young lady became a Christian!” What is Creator’s perspective?

Susy Smith wrote: “Another illustration of tongue-speaking that brings a message to someone who is least expecting it is related by Harold Hill in his book, How to Live Like a King’s Kid. He writes: ‘When another man came and sat in the prayer chair, I laid hands on him and prayed for him in the Spirit, praying in tongues. When the prayer was over, the scoffer (a man standing nearby and skeptically watching) was blubbering like a baby, crying up a storm, slobbering all over his expensive blue serge suit. “What ails you?” I asked. “Well,” he said, “I don’t know if the man in the chair got anything, but God spoke to me when you prayed for him, because you were praying in High German. I’m a student of High German, and I doubt if even you know it, because it’s a rare language.” I said, “I don’t know any German, high, low or medium.” “Well,” he said, “Who are you to scoff at my gifts?” And that big blubbering man got saved.'” What is Creator’s perspective, and how does this fit within the Divine Rules of Engagement, since the recipient was characterized as a “scoffer?” Why did he get this miracle and not the scores of diehard atheists and skeptics also scoffing at this?
