There is a pervasive idea that suffering is currency, that suffering has value, and that it has a price that can be exchanged for actual tangible items of value. We see this play out in courtrooms all over the world every day where someone is awarded a monetary equivalent for pain and suffering. Where there is a direct linkage between a perpetrator and a victim, this makes some sense. Suffering is also imposed on perpetrators in a misguided effort to “even the score,” as in prison sentences. Again, the idea is that suffering has compensatory value. Does suffering have any value in the eyes of the Divine? Is there a suffering scorekeeper out there? Can we purchase redemption, enlightenment, or favor, exclusively via raw suffering without any requisite growth in wisdom? What can Creator tell us?

The idea that raw suffering has value is showcased most emphatically in the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ. It is a foundational notion in Christianity that “Jesus died for our sins,” that his suffering and death purchased God’s forgiveness for sinners, and that it was a necessary ransom to assuage the otherwise justice demanding, or perhaps even suffering-demanding God. If there is any truth to any of this, then it does indeed suggest that God values suffering in its own right, that there is a divine economy of suffering, with its own exchange rate, amortization, storage facilities, and even loans and credit. What is Creator’s perspective?

Many, many people have reported seeing Jesus in near-death experiences and he is often the first contact personality that they encounter. This has happened to many folks who, while knowing of Jesus, professed not to have any faith in his actual existence. The encounters are consistent in portraying him as overwhelmingly kind, loving, gentle, patient, and non-judgmental. Often he will assume the role of coach and mentor and will try and help the departing soul figure out who they are, where they are, and what options they have, such as returning or staying. When did Jesus assume this role of greeting and coaching the dying? Was it immediately following his death and resurrection? Some have suggested that he exists in a voluntary form of limbo in order to take up the role of gatekeeper to heaven, and that taking up such residence in limbo REQUIRED his traumatic death so that he himself could get stuck in limbo, voluntarily. Something perhaps that would otherwise have been impossible given his normal vibrational levels, that this, in essence, is his sacrifice for our sake. Bottom line, is there any connection between his death and his current ongoing role of heavenly gatekeeper? What can Creator tell us?

How long does Jesus intend to fulfill this role of heavenly gatekeeper? Will this role become unnecessary following the ascension? Who else serves as gatekeepers for those who are unfamiliar with Jesus at all? In these near-death experiences, can interlopers, such as Anunnaki psychics, appear to souls as Jesus or some other divine figure? What can Creator tell us?

Saint Faustina wrote in her diary that while in her convent’s chapel, she heard “this voice in my soul” saying, “There is more merit to one hour of meditation on My sorrowful Passion than there is to a whole year of flagellation that draws blood; the contemplation of my painful wounds is of great profit to you, and it brings me great joy.” Was that, indeed, Jesus or an Anunnaki psychic? If a soul like Saint Faustina’s or famous stigmatists like Padre Pio and Saint Catherine of Siena, take this kind of advice to heart, and spend untold hours contemplating Christ’s crucifixion, and especially if they were already gifted intuitives, might this explain how they acquired their stigmata? After all, Christ’s passion is recorded in the akashic records, and a truly gifted intuitive can likely experience that suffering directly if they choose to. Is there anything of profit to be gained from contemplating Christ’s crucifixion in this manner?

Saint Francis of Assisi was said to have acquired his stigmata following the vision of an angel. Can Creator share with us if the two events are related, and how it was that Saint Francis came to acquire the stigmata?

Once, Father Sopocko asked Saint Faustina to pray for him. She wrote in her diary, “I asked the Lord Jesus to deign to bestow on me all the sufferings and afflictions, both exterior and spiritual, that the priest had to suffer during that day. God partially answered my request and, at once, all sorts of difficulties and adversities sprang up out of nowhere … But that was not all; I began to experience interior sufferings. First, I was seized by depression and aversion towards the sisters, then a kind of uncertainty began to trouble me. … When, tired out, I entered the chapel, a strange pain seized my soul, and I began to weep softly. Then I heard in my soul a voice saying, ‘My daughter, why are you weeping? After all, you yourself offered to undertake these sufferings.'” Father Sopocko wrote in his memoirs, “It was only that critical day that I asked Sister Faustina for prayer. To my great surprise, all my troubles vanished into thin air on that very day.” What can Creator tell us?

A rumor heard from a government insider suggested a reason that the United States covertly dropped more than two million tons of bombs on Laos during the Vietnam War was, in his words, “the Bodhi.” In other words, Buddhist monks and contemplatives. One is also struck with the determination of China to end the theocracy of Tibet and send the Dali Lama fleeing to India. Is there a war on contemplatives? What can Creator tell us?

Saint Faustina wrote, “If the angels were capable of envy, they would envy us for two things: one is the receiving of Holy Communion, and the other is suffering.” What is Creator’s perspective?

It seems if suffering is currency, it is a factor only in the calculus of karma, that the suffering you cause is the suffering waiting to return to you. So, from a wholly rational perspective, the only “good” accounting of suffering is working to END it as quickly and efficiently as possible through HEALING and the attainment of wisdom. Saint Faustina demonstrated that it is possible to take on the sufferings of others as if one were wearing their cloak for a day. But this seems like an extraordinarily costly, limited, and dangerous (to the healer) way to do healing. Can Creator share with us how Empowered Prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol are the most effective ways to end and avoid needless suffering for both subject and healer alike?

Last week’s show examined the difficult life of a Catholic Saint, Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska. This week, we will take a detailed look at the divine mission this Saint pursued during her short 33 years of physical life. In a nutshell, Saint Faustina’s mission, in tandem with the mission lives of important compatriots, most notably Blessed Father Michael Sopocko, and Saint Pope John Paul II, was to refocus and elevate the Church’s advocacy of Divine Mercy. Throughout human history, God has gotten a “bad rap,” via the unceasing manipulations of the interlopers. The image of God became one of a harsh, stern, aloof overseer who demanded perfection and judged its nonattainment in the most severe terms. The fascinating mission lives of these Church celebrities, was clearly to attempt to elevate the importance and even primacy of divine mercy over the widespread assumptions and beliefs about divine justice. What can Creator tell us?

Jeffrie Murphy had this to say in his article about forgiveness and mercy in the Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy: “Forgiveness and mercy are regarded as virtues in many moral and religious traditions, although different traditions will emphasize different aspects. The Christian tradition, for example, tends to emphasize purity of heart as the core of the virtue of forgiveness, whereas the Judaic tradition gives priority to the social dimension of reintegration into the covenanted community. Forgiveness involves the overcoming of anger and resentment, and mercy involves the withholding of harsh treatment that one has a right to inflict.” With this assertion, divine mercy would involve the withholding of harsh treatment that the divine “has a right to inflict” via judgment or, more accurately, karma. What is Creator’s perspective?

Murphy continues: “Both (forgiveness and mercy) allow for healing, but some critics would say that this healing may come at too high a price. Forgiveness, if carried to extremes, can lapse into servility, entailing a loss of self-respect. There are similar paradoxes associated with mercy, particularly in the context of punishment; too strong an emphasis on mercy can lead to a departure from justice. Clearly, though both forgiveness and mercy are obvious virtues, there are difficulties in putting them into practice in the complex situations that make up everyday reality.” What is Creator’s perspective?

Saint Faustina wrote, “That dreadful thought of being rejected by God is the actual torture suffered by the damned.” She also wrote, “I understood that apart from God there is no contentment anywhere.” What is Creator’s perspective?

Saint Faustina wrote, “God demands great trust from souls.” This can seem like a paradox, for many people assume that trust is something you either have or do not have, that there is no “choice” involved. And that if a soul does not trust God, then how can such a soul give to God what they do not possess? What is Creator’s perspective?
