In the study of warfare, it is asserted that most battles are won or lost before the first shot is fired. In other words, planning and anticipating all the needs of an army in battle will ensure victory far more than whatever actually happens on the battlefield spontaneously. Taking on a spiraling karmic dilemma aggravated by active targeting done by invisible interlopers seems a truly daunting problem to solve. In order to take this on, it seems like a lot of planning and preparation back in the light was needed. Was this planning and preparation, again, itself a karmic response, or was it a divine response to a karmic dilemma that was no longer manageable by the participants in the physical? Again, does karma itself engineer the solutions, or does the divine, or is there interplay? What can Creator tell us?

This is returning a bit to the chicken or egg question you asked earlier, that we explained more fully, as the questions are dealt with, represents a growth of human understanding, human capability, and human wherewithal to truly come to grips with your role of being in the lead to right the wrongs of history and solve the problem posed by the rise of evil in your galaxy. And this applies to even the planning in the light prior to incarnation, where decisions are made about who you will be with and how individual roles in life will be conducted and allow an interplay so there will be many positive partnerings as student and teacher, coworkers, leader and follower, boss and employee, spiritual guide and mentor for seekers of truth, and so on. There has been a constant interplay between human beings and the divine all along the way, but that has been catch‑as‑catch‑can for many reasons, usually lack of faith through inadequate belief in us and, just as importantly, lack of belief in yourselves. Either one or both can doom an effective human‑divine partnership that will allow greatness to emerge through human action.

There are limits to what people can do under their own steam. You have had to learn the hard way about the rules of engagement—how to invoke a divine intervention successfully. It takes far more than just wanting it, to make it so. This is why we have been emphasizing in our answers to your questions how very important the human role is in everything that happens, good or bad. We are available to do more and bring more good your way, but it has to start from you, as humans, being in charge, the boots on the ground, so to speak, in your realm. We can do nothing without you, in fact, and even what we do must be done through your energy. We can take the energy and repurpose it in a divine way, at times even a miraculous way, but it is your energy to begin with, turned into that miracle. The lesson here is not solely that you are responsible and accountable so that the blame for failure will be on your heads, but rather the opposite, that you have within you the seeds of greatness and the wherewithal for it to flourish, but you must learn how to make your own way through trial and error. The more you reach out to us with cogent requests, the more we can use that energy to respond in positive ways that will begin to raise you up and continue to strengthen a springboard for ever greater achievement. It all starts with you.
