A viewer asks: “High blood pressure is conventionally regarded as a health risk and that lowering it reduces risk, especially in moderate-to-severe systolic BP of 140-159 mmHg. Dr. Malcolm Kendrick author of Doctoring Data claims that cardiovascular risk increases more steeply after systolic BP reaches around 160-170 mmHg—well beyond the 140/90 threshold often used to diagnose and treat hypertension. A rule of thumb in medicine is that for older individuals, a systolic BP of around 100 + age is a reasonable upper limit beyond which cardiovascular risks increase significantly. Is hypertension over-treated, given that aggressively lowering blood pressure—especially in older individuals—can be harmful?”

A viewer asks: “A 2018 book, Medical Nihilism, by Jacob Stegenga claims the healthcare system over-adopts treatments and under-recognizes risks. He states confidence in the effectiveness of medical interventions should be low because empirical evidence for the efficacy of many treatments is weak due to methodological flaws, publication bias, the influence of commercial interests. He claims positive studies are more likely to be published, screening programs tend to detect and treat cancers that would never cause harm, common treatments can cause long-term complications, short trial durations miss long-term harms etc. How accurate is his view that evidence is systematically skewed and harms are undercounted?”

A viewer asks: “Dr. Bernard Lown, a Harvard cardiologist in the 1980s, criticized the rapid rise of surgical Coronary Artery Bypass Grafts (CABG), noting 20–40% were potentially avoidable, especially in stable angina, and many patients had uncertain survival benefit. He advocated medical therapy—nitrates, beta-blockers, lifestyle changes—for symptom control. How accurate is it to say that in 2026, evidence-based guidelines and trials have reduced avoidable CABG to <10% for high-risk, guideline-selected patients, and that for low-risk, stable patients, surgery rarely improves survival, and that beta-blockers, nitrates, ACE inhibitors, lifestyle changes are to be preferred?”

A viewer asks: “A 2012 paper in the British Medical Journal “Use of relative and absolute effect measures in reporting health inequalities” concluded that “75% (258/344) [of 2009 papers] reported only relative effect measures.” Absolute risk reduction is often far less impressive and less often stated. This suggests that physicians will overestimate the efficacy of treatments and patients may have a misplaced belief in both effectiveness and risks. To what extent does this practice mislead patients and clinicians and benefit pharmaceutical manufacturers?”

A viewer asks: “Dr. Malcolm Kendrick in his book, Doctoring Data, suggests more patients are harmed by over-treatment than helped. He claims published treatment benefits are often exaggerated by hiding behind relative risk (to mask how tiny most benefits are), selective reporting (such as statistical significance without meaningful benefit), or clever framing (such as natural variation in cholesterol or blood pressure) is medicalized as a treatable condition. To what extent is published medical research actually the fabricated appearance of scientific rigor to sell a product?”

A viewer asks: “What percentage of patients take drugs for almost no real benefit, even while risking side effects and penalized by the cost?”

If Earth ascends to a higher plane of existence, where we will reside as advanced light beings, will our travels to other worlds throughout the universe all be locations within that higher plane, and not visible to us currently? Will we even visit worlds within the galaxies we physically observe as humans?

We’ve discussed in recent shows the topic of “spiritual vibration.” We have learned from previous channelings of Creator, the complex Free Will Experiment going on in our galaxy, the rules of engagement surrounding the exercise of free will, while limiting the divine freedom to intervene at its sole discretion. Creator has further warned that our home world, Earth, is actually under the indirect, but nearly total, control of an evil Extraterrestrial Alliance whose plans for Earth do not include us humans. Why does it matter? What makes us humans “special” and more important than the other millions of sentient species living in the galaxy, also potentially subject to their world disappearing in the blink of an eye, like the planet Alderaan in the Star Wars saga? If there is ONE thing that matters, is that one thing humanity’s collective “spiritual vibration?” What can Creator tell us?

As we continue to try to wrap our minds around the term “spiritual vibration,” it seems there are a lot of phrases that attempt to label or identify a kind of both qualitative and quantitative unit of measurement by which to classify and categorize sentient spirits. There is the notion of infant to old souls, and there is the notion of spiritual maturity versus immaturity, or spiritual attainment versus non-attainment. And finally, there is the notion Creator appears to prefer in the form of “divine alignment.” Ultimately, there is also the grand notion of good versus evil. Are these terms attempting to label the same thing, but from different angles? What they all have in common is that they do represent a form of classification, a form of measurement. And when we possess this kind of nomenclature, what seems to inevitably follow is a form of classification. A means by which to determine fitness for inclusion or exclusion from group membership. When it comes to qualifying for Ascension, can Creator discuss how best to label and attempt to understand what it takes to qualify for Ascension?

Let’s say we have a hypothetical “John Doe.” John Doe is literally the last person on Earth to qualify for Ascension. He has just enough of the “right stuff” to qualify, but BARELY. Anybody worse than John in terms of vibration, or attainment, or alignment is excluded. Can Creator give us a profile of John Doe, a spiritual resume, if you will? Or spiritual transcript? What would John be like if he moved in next door to us? Or occupied the cubicle across the aisle at work, or even came into the world as a child of ours? In the newly Ascended Earth, John would possess the title “The New Worst Person on Earth.” What can Creator tell us?

We have learned that there is actually quite a large degree of “vibrational stratification” in the spirit world. And not just in terms of “being in limbo.” That spiritual vibration can have you low enough in vibration to actually be earthbound, but not so low as to put you in the “holding place” and subject to the horrors of extreme direct spirit meddler or demonic tyranny. And then there is everything in between. Likewise, making it “to the light” doesn’t mean that you get to hang out with everyone there. Your vibration will place you directly with those of highly similar vibration, while distancing you from those with significantly different, higher or lower vibrations. This is not a problem on a physical world. On a world, everyone gets to encounter and interact with everyone else living on that world. On Earth, the sinner can live next door to the saint, while in the light that might not even be possible due to the significant difference in spiritual vibration. So is incarnation and/or habitation on WORLDS critically important in creating environments with qualities and experiences and a reality that is markedly different from that of living purely in spirit form alone? What can Creator tell us?

It is assumed that an Ascended Earth will be a world in every aspect of the word. And that one of the primary purposes for this world is to allow a larger sphere and qualitative range of sentient being interaction than would be possible and available in pure spirit existence. But with the agenda of “raising the floor” such that those of too low a vibration cannot enter or even be able to detect the world itself, even with the most advanced technology imaginable. Is this the promised safety from the interlopers long promised and prophesized? What can Creator tell us?

It has been suggested that this Earth will live perpetually without an expiration date. And that we, as its inhabitants, can choose to make it our home for as long as we desire. Is there any true notion of incarnation into this world? Might we someday choose mission lives that will take us away for a time, but then we gladly return? Like coming home after years abroad here on physical Earth? Similar to how we return to the light after an incarnation, but returning to Ascended Earth instead, rather than pure spirit existence? What can Creator tell us?

Will it be possible for one to mess up and get themselves expelled from Ascended Earth, for a time at least? A period of banishment or quarantine? Will the laws that govern life on Ascended Earth be made by and enforced by its inhabitants? What is Creator’s perspective?
