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?

The one thing that Creator has pointed to as a key factor for Get Wisdom is the advent of the Internet and the ability to communicate globally with humanity relatively freely and relatively inexpensively. Something not available, of course, at the time of Jesus. So for anything in his day and age to go viral, so to speak, using today’s Internet vocabulary, you needed instead an EXTRAORDINARY story, a narrative so compelling that it would go VIRAL by word of mouth alone. If that was the point and purpose of Christ’s Passion then, in that context, undergoing the crucifixion makes sense in spite of but also because of its intensity and dramatic appeal. It takes an awful LOT for a narrative to go viral by word of mouth alone. What was the most important aspect or behavioral outcome of that narrative? Wouldn’t it be the necessity for PRAYER and petitioning the divine? With “Christ in the Etheric” there was also his energetic presence to help provide necessary emotional and intuitive feedback to further energize the narrative and make it feel personal. We all know how people can’t seem to help gawking at trainwrecks. Did Jesus undergo a literal “trainwreck” in order to capitalize on that human proclivity and ensure the narrative would indeed “go viral?” What can Creator tell us?

If Jesus could have given humanity the Lightworker Healing Protocol more than two thousand years ago, we’d like to think he would have. Creator has told us that without Jesus’ sacrifice NONE of us would be here today. Can Creator share with us how the mission of Christ and the mission of Get Wisdom complement each other and, in fact, may be mutually dependent on each other? Can Creator tell us if and how Empowered Prayer, the Lightworker Healing Protocol, Deep Subconscious Mind Reset, and Divine Life Support are a continuation of Christ’s mission for humanity and an establishment of divine-human partnership that will lead to an even greater destiny and outcome for humanity and all beings everywhere?

The recently deceased Stanford Emeritus Professor Dr. Philip Zimbardo wrote the book, The Lucifer Effect: Understanding How Good People Turn Evil. Dr. Zimbardo is famous for his 1971 “Stanford Prison Experiment” that he was compelled to abruptly terminate as it quickly got out of hand and turned into a dangerously oppressive and health-threatening situation for the experiments’ participants after only a week. In the experiment, the prison guards became overwhelmingly sadistically abusive and cruel, and the prisoners became shockingly powerless and submissive to the point of losing their objectivity and grip on reality and actually believing they were real prisoners and not just participants in an “experiment.” The findings of this experiment were deeply disturbing and shocking on many levels. Zimbardo wrote, “One of the dominant conclusions of the Stanford Prison Experiment is that the pervasive yet subtle power of a host of situational variables can dominate an individual’s will to resist.” He continued, “We see how a range of research participants … have come to conform, comply, obey, and be readily seduced into doing things they could not imagine doing when outside those situational force fields.” Can Creator tell us how this MOCK prison with randomly chosen guards and prisoners almost immediately took on the atmosphere and oppressiveness of some of the world’s worst prisons and concentration camps? Zimbardo wrote, “We were surprised that situational pressures could overcome most of these healthy young men so quickly and so extremely.” Is this widespread and disturbing proclivity, to quickly slip into either extreme perpetrator or extreme victim roles, an inherent flaw in the human makeup? What can Creator tell us?

Zimbardo wrote about the Rwandan genocide. The Holocaust Museum website gives this summary: “Under the cover of war, Hutu extremists launched their plans to destroy the entire Tutsi civilian population. Violence spread with lightning speed through the capital and into the rest of the country, and continued for roughly three months. Between 500,000 and one million people, mostly Tutsis, were slaughtered in 100 days. Hutu militias, backed, trained and equipped by Rwandan government forces, were responsible for the majority of the killing.” Zimbardo wrote: “A Hutu murderer said in an interview a decade later that ‘The worst thing about the massacre was killing my neighbor; we used to drink together, his cattle would graze my land. He was like a relative.'” Zimbardo wrote further, “The testimonies of these ordinary men – mostly farmers, active churchgoers and a former teacher – are chilling in their matter-of-fact, remorseless depiction of unimaginable cruelty. Their words force us to confront the unthinkable again and again: that human beings are capable of totally abandoning their humanity for a mindless ideology, to follow and then exceed the orders of charismatic authorities to destroy everyone they label as ‘The Enemy.'” Can Creator help us make sense of this sense-less event in recent human history?

Dr. Stanley Milgram contrived and carried out a famous experiment on Blind Obedience to Authority. Google’s AI provided this summary: “In the experiment, participants were instructed to administer increasingly severe electric shocks to a learner (an actor) for incorrect answers. The study demonstrated that ordinary individuals are surprisingly willing to obey authority, even when those orders conflict with their own moral beliefs.” Zimbardo wrote: “In Milgram’s experiment, two of every three (65 percent) of the volunteers went all the way up to the maximum shock level of 450 volts. … The data clearly revealed the extreme pliability of human nature. Milgram was able to demonstrate that compliance rates could soar to over 90 percent of people continuing the 450-volt with the introduction of one crucial variable … Make the subject a member of a ‘teaching team,’ in which the job of pulling the lever is given to another person.” We want to think of the majority of humanity as good, but Milgram demonstrated rather conclusively that 9 out of 10 people can become, willingly, a party to unthinkable cruelty. Even to an authority that has no means to actually compel them. Can Creator tell us, how can this possibly be?

Zimbardo characterized the Milgram Studies as “Creating Evil Traps for Good People.” Zimbardo extracted ten methods for this: 1. Create a contractual obligation. 2. Give a positive role or title like “teacher.” 3. Present basic rules that “must” be followed – even if vague. 4. Spin the agenda as “positive” – bad-tasting mouthwash “kills germs.” 5. Insist the authority is fully responsible for everything that happens. 6. Start with small acts of evil and work up from there. 7. Keep the amplification of evil so gradual as to hardly be noticeable. 8. Gradually change the nature of the authority from “just” to “unjust” and demanding and even irrational. 9. Make the exit costs high while allowing verbal dissent. And 10. Offer a “big lie” to justify everything. This is clearly a diabolically effective “stacked deck” that Milgram demonstrated works 90% of the time. What is Creator’s perspective?

Zimbardo wrote, “This potential for authority figures to exercise power over subordinates can have disastrous consequences in many domains of life. … Such authority can lead to flight errors when the crew feels forced to accept the “authority’s definition of the situation, even when the authority is wrong.” An investigation of thirty-seven serious plane accidents where there was sufficient data from voice recorders revealed that in 81 percent of these cases, the first officer did not properly monitor or challenge the captain when he made errors. … We may conclude that excessive obedience may cause as many as 25% of all airplane accidents.” What is Creator’s perspective?
