A practitioner asks: “Medieval Italian poet Dante Alighieri (1265 – 1321) is best known for his masterpiece “The Divine Comedy,” which describes a journey through Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise; in the journey, he is first guided by the Roman poet Virgil and then by Beatrice, his true love. This work is now regarded as a foundation of Western art and literature. How accurate is this map of the afterlife? Does it reflect the destiny of certain souls?” What can Creator tell us?

He asks: “Was Dante really visited by spirits from the spirit world? To what extent did Creator inspire this vision, or was it just a version of religious dogma of the time?” What can Creator tell us?

A viewer asks: “I’m wondering if you will be able to answer about what happened when Jesus went down to Hell, supposedly, between the time of his death and resurrection, and Christians believe he got the keys to hell, in death. I know that Creator has told us there is no hell.” What is Creator’s perspective?

Perhaps a helpful means of knowing the importance of a mission life, like Jesus Christ’s, is learning about what the state of humanity would be if Christ had not taken up his mission life to begin with. What can Creator tell us?

Pastor John Fenn is a modern Baptist equivalent of Saint Faustina, in that he first had direct experience of seeing and conversing with Jesus at the age of seventeen, and consistently since that time (he is 64 today). He has seen Jesus almost weekly and can converse with his own personal angel anytime. Fenn wrote two books where he described a trip to heaven his angel took him on. While there, he observed a number of residents he said were “vested with authority.” He wrote, “These people were each in charge of galaxies that currently exist, yet there is nothing in the way of creation going on in them now. There was an air of expectancy while they were waiting. Each of them had that same sense of waiting for other things to happen before it would be time for them to move in their authority.” Are the “other things to happen” the solving of the problem of evil? What can Creator tell us?

Fenn wrote that in prayer one day he asked God about the stars, and got this answer, “I created the whole universe to day one. What you see in the stars is what I did in the beginning. Then I turned my attention to the earth to complete it. There will come a time when I will again turn my attention on the rest of the universe to complete its creation, and this is part of what you saw which will take place in the ages to come.” What can Creator tell us?

Fenn reports that he asked his angel about God the Father’s goodness, and reported being immediately whisked away in spirit to visit a poor country in Africa, where he witnessed a small farmer desperately searching for a buyer for his crop before it rotted in just a few days. After many foot trips back and forth with a small cart and part of his crop, he finally connected with a woman who agreed to buy his entire crop, and his fortunes switched from dire to blessed in a single instant. The angel explained that God the Father arranged everything so that this small humble farmer would receive a reward for all his hard work, and that his family would have what was needed. How much of the average person’s life is arranged in just this way? Is every human’s life arranged in this way? What can Creator tell us?

Fenn wrote, “I quickly became so involved in worship that I was what I call, and the Bible seems to say, as being in the Spirit. That is, I wasn’t aware of anything around me, only the realm of Spirit.” This is similar to what Steiner, Saint Faustina, and many other mystics and seers have reported throughout the ages. Some might refer to it as “being in ecstasy” or an “ecstatic experience.” Fenn reports that it’s not our physical body and senses that participate, but that of our “spirit man,” a spiritual counterpart with its own sensory capabilities that sees, hears, smells, etc. What can Creator tell us?

Fenn, in his spiritual visit to Africa, soon learned the humble farmer was Moslem. Fenn confessed, “In my utter astonishment … I protested to my angel, ‘My Father blesses Moslems?!’ (The angel) responded with a look of surprise on his face that indicated he thought I would know the answer already.” Fenn wrote, “As I suddenly saw the involvement of the Father in the tiniest of everyday happenings all over the world, and that His involvement was without discrimination between saved and unsaved, I was overwhelmed by His holiness. Only one so holy could walk in such love!” Being Baptist, Fenn does not have a concept of karma and past lives to work with. Can what he is describing be attributed wholly to the workings of karma, or workings of God above and beyond karma? What is Creator’s perspective?

Fenn, being Baptist, emphasized the importance of “being saved versus not being saved.” Yet in studying the replies of Jesus, nothing was really shared that seemed to endorse that outlook, while Jesus was careful not to disturb that belief or overtly contradict it. Can Creator share with us if there really is such a status, and if not, how did such a notion take root and why is it so quickly embraced and adhered to?

Fenn would also frequently ask his angel and Jesus to couch their messages and teachings to him in terms of “chapter and verse” of the Bible. Fenn apparently thought this was “right and proper” but never asked either his angel or Jesus about it. By confining them to “chapter and verse” it seems Fenn was limiting the range of divine response they could actually deliver and remain within the rules of engagement. What can Creator tell us about imposing such a limit on divine beings?

Fenn would emphasize the importance of worship as a precursor to many (but not all) of his spiritual encounters. Saint Faustina similarly often encountered Jesus during worship or “adoration” and even Steiner talked about cultivating a “devotional mindset” as a helpful, if not utterly necessary, component and practice of attaining “spiritual vision” or “being in the spirit” as Fenn would describe it. What can Creator tell us about the necessity or helpfulness of worship, and whether it’s for Creator’s benefit, or the seekers? Many fundamentalist Christians sincerely believe that a period of worship is a necessary precursor to prayers that “get answered” and don’t regard it as “optional.” What is Creator’s perspective?

Fenn’s books were fascinating but, like so many other spiritual treatises, failed in any attempt to really grapple with the problem of evil. There was, of course, no mention of extraterrestrials. Can it be assumed that is simply because he never asked? Can Creator tell us why Empowered Prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol are the genuine means for dealing with this most important of issues that most still do not have any clue about, even many with profound spiritual gifts?

There is a pervasive idea that suffering is currency, that suffering has value, and that it has a price that can be exchanged for actual tangible items of value. We see this play out in courtrooms all over the world every day where someone is awarded a monetary equivalent for pain and suffering. Where there is a direct linkage between a perpetrator and a victim, this makes some sense. Suffering is also imposed on perpetrators in a misguided effort to “even the score,” as in prison sentences. Again, the idea is that suffering has compensatory value. Does suffering have any value in the eyes of the Divine? Is there a suffering scorekeeper out there? Can we purchase redemption, enlightenment, or favor, exclusively via raw suffering without any requisite growth in wisdom? What can Creator tell us?

The idea that raw suffering has value is showcased most emphatically in the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ. It is a foundational notion in Christianity that “Jesus died for our sins,” that his suffering and death purchased God’s forgiveness for sinners, and that it was a necessary ransom to assuage the otherwise justice demanding, or perhaps even suffering-demanding God. If there is any truth to any of this, then it does indeed suggest that God values suffering in its own right, that there is a divine economy of suffering, with its own exchange rate, amortization, storage facilities, and even loans and credit. What is Creator’s perspective?
