In the book, Thirty Years Among the Dead, Dr. Carl Wickland wrote, “For many years, upon various occasions, a symbolical morality play has been given through Mrs. Wickland by a group of spirit actors. They are twelve in number, eleven actors and a director, all of whom were Russian-Slavonic when in earth life. The play is given in the Russian-Slavonic tongue, a language which Mrs. Wickland herself has never heard, but which is spoken perfectly through her by these actors, as has been stated by different persons, witnessing the play, who are familiar with the language.” These spirit actors were quoted as saying, “We give this play in the spirit world for the earthbound spirits, many of whom do not realize they are dead to their earth life. We find them in the sphere next to the Earth (the ‘outer darkness’ described in question one?) often in a semi-sleep. Preceding the play we have music by excellent musicians; this wakens the earthbound spirits, one after the other. They rise slowly, not realizing where they are, but the music brings them a little understanding of the higher life.” What is Creator’s perspective of this extraordinary undertaking of a joint spirit and living human undertaking to awaken and inspire earthbound spirits?ClosedNicola asked 22 hours ago • Human Lost Soul Spirits9 views0 answers0 votesIn Dr. Wickland’s book, Thirty Years Among the Dead, he wrote, “From the time Mrs. Wickland first developed as a psychic she has been especially under the protection of the spirit, Dr. Root. He (often came) to speak with encouragement and to lecture to invisible, as well as visible, audiences on the higher philosophy of life (just like Abraham Lincoln). After one of these lectures, Dr. Root said, ‘Before I go, I want to say we have a room full of earthbound spirits. I often talk to them to help them. This group we have here tonight are spirits we could not waken because they could not see us. A spirit in ignorance cannot see an intelligent spirit. So we have to bring them here (to a human channeler). I talk through this body (Mrs. Wickland’s) and they hear me, but they could not hear me from the spirit side of life because they had no understanding. Every time you have (gatherings like this) we have more spirits present than we have mortals. When they see an earthbound spirit (temporarily control Mrs. Wickland) they learn their first lesson, and then we can take them to the spirit side of life and help them find happiness.'” Unwinding this, it seems the objective is to inspire HOPE in the earthbound spirit, and hope awakens them from their stupor and increases their vibration enough to finally SEE the light callers. Dr. Root is perfectly describing the dilemma of earthbound spirits being unable to see ‘intelligent spirits’ who we assume Creator calls ‘the light callers.’ QUITE the problem apparently.

When you have suffering you are in hell, and many have a hard struggle to get out of that hell. When you are happy you are in Heaven – the Heaven within yourself. … You are a part of God, the wonderful Creator. What you think, you create. You have power and you can use it for good or evil. … Heaven or hell is only a condition within yourself and ‘Heaven’ must be found within before you can be happy in the spirit world.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 22 hours ago • Human Lost Soul Spirits9 views0 answers0 votesDr. Root also had this to say: “Some say, ‘What is the spirit world?’ The spirit world is a counterpart of this (physical world), with only one exception – here (in the physical world) you are thrown together with every sort of person, while there (in the spirit world) you cannot go anywhere unless you have understanding of where you are going. The spirit side of life is like a school – you progress by degrees. There is no belief. You learn where you belong and where you are going. It takes time to understand, but there is plenty of time in eternity to study and learn.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 22 hours ago • Human Lost Soul Spirits11 views0 answers0 votesThe Editor of Harriet Shelton’s book, Abraham Lincoln Returns, summarized the dilemma we are learning about here. “… What we do on Earth has a direct bearing on our life beyond. It is this belief that can provide the pragmatic with a convincing reason for adopting the ‘impractical’ virtues, and imbue the reckless with the restraining fear of inescapable justice. Our author (Harriet Shelton) tells us that among the departed are those who, having no understanding or preparation for the afterlife, find it hard to adjust themselves. The pity is that during their earth-life they clung to disbelief, insisting upon material proof of those things which are by nature the direct opposite.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 22 hours ago • Human Lost Soul Spirits11 views0 answers0 votesHarriet Shelton, in her book, described one morning when, during her Quiet Time, she saw for the first time those to whom she was speaking (channeling Abraham Lincoln) for. She had just finished the Lord’s Prayer, relaxed and waited for the signal from Lincoln when, Harriet describes, “Suddenly as if a curtain had been drawn aside, I was no longer sitting in a room, but I appeared to be in the middle of a vast plain. I could see gray forms standing as if in a light fog. There must have been thousands of them, and I immediately felt a deep sense of depression which pervaded the place, truly a place of shadows, as I came to call it. … For several mornings afterward I saw the tragic picture, the gray forms stretching away into the distance as far as my sight could reach. Gradually it faded out, but it made an impression upon my mind which I shall never forget. It was probably the most helpful thing that could have happened to me. I no longer doubt nor question, for I have seen and I now know the truth.” Is this ‘vast plain’ Harriet saw the realm of ‘outer darkness’ and did she feel the same deep sense of depression that William Shatner felt? Was this ‘vast plain’ the ‘holding place’ that Creator has discussed and that is mentioned in the Lightworker Healing Protocol? What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 22 hours ago • Human Lost Soul Spirits9 views0 answers0 votesIn this episode we have learned about some of the difficulties that advanced spirits, ‘the light callers,’ struggle with in trying to get through to earthbound, lost soul spirits as Creator describes them. We have learned about some extraordinary undertakings and collaborations pursued in efforts to get through to, awaken, and rescue these lost soul spirits. The problems are many, and the difficulties extreme, but one of the most obvious is the glaring inability to SCALE these efforts. Mrs. Wickland and Harriet Shelton are extraordinarily RARE resources available to the light callers to assist in their rescue activities. This extreme shortage of helpful human mediums is, in fact, frequently bemoaned in many channelings by advanced spirits. It’s almost as if THEY feel more helpless than WE do! Can Creator tell us how Empowered Prayer, the Lightworker Healing Protocol, Deep Subconscious Mind Reset, and Divine Life Support alter this paradigm? Are they the ‘game changers’ these ambitious, helpful spirits have been desperately seeking? And if so, why? What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 22 hours ago • Human Lost Soul Spirits12 views0 answers0 votesPsychic 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?ClosedNicola asked 4 months ago • Divine Realm112 views0 answers0 votesSusy 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.

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?ClosedNicola asked 4 months ago • Divine Realm232 views0 answers0 votesIs 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?ClosedNicola asked 4 months ago • Divine Realm124 views0 answers0 votesSusy 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?ClosedNicola asked 4 months ago • Divine Realm136 views0 answers0 votesSusy 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?ClosedNicola asked 4 months ago • Divine Realm192 views0 answers0 votesSusy Smith wrote: “Don Basham tells in his book, Handbook on Tongues: Interpretation & Prophecy, of a man he knew was the speaker at a Christian meeting: ‘At one point he stopped his message and began speaking in tongues. This was immediately followed by an interpretation of the tongue by someone in the audience. Then the man resumed his message. After the service, a Frenchman came up to the speaker and told him that the message in tongues was in the French language and that the interpretation that followed had been a perfect translation in English of what had been spoken in French. But neither the speaker nor interpreter knew any French.'” It should be noted that these miracles tend to occur in an atmosphere of expectation where, in some settings, they may even be commonplace. Certainly, they have tremendous persuasive value for both the faithful and curious newcomers. But outside the doors of these churches, they don’t get much airplay. And most who experience these moments are likely hesitant to talk about them for fear of appearing silly. Given the fundamental and dogmatic leanings of most of these churches, it seems like these miracles are not being targeted for greatest effect. In fact, they appear to reinforce the insular cul-de-sac nature of these churches as be-all and end-all establishments when, in fact, in some ways, they might be contributing to an ultimate disempowerment of humanity at the same time they fill a void for the individuals involved. Do they, in effect, keep people stuck circling the airport in a holding pattern? What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 4 months ago • Divine Realm187 views0 answers0 votesFor the apostles, speaking in tongues was a means to an end. A means by which the same message could be delivered to people of diverse languages. But today, speaking in tongues seems to have become an end in itself, that somehow speaking in tongues is emblematic of “being in the spirit,” “of being saved,” “of being accepted by Jesus,” and if you are not speaking in tongues, you are not among the favored of the Lord. Have we missed the point? Susy Smith wrote, “St. Paul said, ‘For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God; for no man understandeth him …'” What problem is that solving? Creator has said in past channelings that many church gatherings have value in that they can effectively create a “group high” and, indeed, lift the moods of those involved, but secular music concerts can accomplish the same thing. And no one considers someone exalting in a popular entertainer’s music as “God’s elect.” Just because it feels good doesn’t mean growth is occurring, that the world is improving, and that things are going to get better. Now, there is nothing wrong with a good “group high,” but is it “moving the needle” in the effort to save humanity the way it needs to move?
