This discussion is based on a false premise, that one must be true and the other false, that one is more powerful and the other less so. The light always outweighs the darkness, the question is, "When and where it can employ its power?" These questions are being done in ignorance of the true makeup of the Divine Human Free Will Experiment and its long history, in the contest between good and evil, that is playing out on your home turf as we speak. There are rules of engagement in place because you, as human beings, are tasked with solving the problem of evil and healing the evildoers sufficiently to end this problem. Having created you and turned you loose with that charter, our role is to stand aside and let you do your job. If we jump in to save you at every turn, you will have no role to play, and thus no power to influence anything in a real sense, and will be but an observer incidental to the workings of your world. Each and every time you see the absence of a divine hand to bring about a rescue that would require a mighty force, as to counter a genocidal campaign or a military conquest, the true issue is that these are all human problems needing a solution so it is not up to the divine realm to save the day, even though we could, but that would short-circuit the plan underway to put a wider free agency and free will, and all that represents in widening the expansion of things, to the test. Can it be allowed with a successful flourishing that leads to greater good and the cause of love, the fundamental basis of everything in the universe, or will it become corrupted by selfish perspectives and desires, and lead to a darkening of things with suffering and destruction? That is what is ongoing, and the jury is still out on the final outcome, but it will be up to you, as human beings, to save the day. You will need divine help, so we can help you with that advice and we can even come in to support you in various ways, but you must ask us and there are a set of established criteria in how to go about doing that in order to be effective. So the whole premise of this discussion and series of questions is that human and the divine are separate, each with perhaps separate agendas and separate levels of power, and they seem to stay on their own side of the fence with precious little interplay, at least on a large scale, and that is the complaint. What we would like to do is illuminate the discussion here with the insight that it is the precise purpose of the exercise to create conditions where you, as human beings, become awakened to the reality you are under siege, in an unfair contest, and desperately need divine assistance but must learn how to get it. That is part of the challenge for you because we cannot hand that to you, you must earn it through your own creativity and initiative to seek the answers and explore, through trial and error, based on the wisdom of the past that has provided many, many clues and demonstrations, as taught by religion, for interacting with the divine. That has given mixed results, but that is what your channel is providing here and now, as part of his mission, which is to shed light on these issues and bring forth the tools long needed to fill in the gaps you complain about with your questions.
