Castor wrote describing, “… the plight of the whole kingdom. Across great swathes of France, the oppressive and violent reality of armies moving through the countryside, of battles and sieges, pillage and plunder, had left scorched earth, torched homes, and lives and livelihoods destroyed.” These were clearly the conditions that Joan’s mission life was conceived to resolve. Was it the prayers of the common people of France, a deeply religious and Christian nation, that enabled the divine to intervene in the form of Joan “The Maid?”

Joan’s was not the only “mission life” on display in these times. The king she was commissioned to support and see coronated, clearly had a mission life to bring France’s suffering to an end. Castor wrote, “The dauphin (heir apparent to the throne of France) – whose daily routine included two or sometimes even three masses, so unstinting was his devotion.” How important were the dauphin’s own prayers in bringing about the divine intervention in the form of Joan “The Maid,” that would see his mission of unifying France and ending the Hundred Years War truly fulfilled in his lifetime? What can Creator tell us?

Joan wrote to the English, “You will never hold the kingdom of France from God, the king of heaven, holy Mary’s son; but King Charles will hold it, the true heir, because God, the king of heaven, wishes it.” But is this literally true? Creator has told us time and again that this is humanity’s world, and that no divine intervention can happen without human intention for it to be so. So can Creator explain how and even if Joan’s common notion of “God’s will” can be understood in the context of Creator’s modern teachings that humans really are in charge here?

Divine favor was seemingly on display in the battles leading up to the king’s coronation. Castor wrote, “The troops were almost in place when suddenly a stag (male deer) erupted out of the woods and plunged into the English ranks, precipitating a great shout of confusion and fear just at the moment when advance riders from the French forces were approaching within earshot. The animal had given away the English position before (the) archers had finished planting their sharpened stakes in the ground and making ready their bows.” The result was the complete rout of the English forces. Was the appearance of the stag divine intervention, or was it karma, or both?

Joan’s fortunes changed after the king’s coronation. Was her mission life essentially fulfilled at that point? During her assault on Paris, she rallied her troops promising them they would be inside the Paris walls that evening. A crossbow bolt ripped through her leg. She did not stop insisting that the city would be won as she was dragged from the ditch and carried to safety. What she didn’t know was the king had made treaties with his enemies to temporarily end hostilities for the winter, taking matters into his own hands and against Joan’s wishes and proclamations. Castor wrote, “The great theologian Gerson had foreseen this very problem. The ‘party having justice on its side,’ he had concluded after the triumph at Orleans, must take care not to render the help of heaven useless through disbelief or ingratitude, ‘for God changes His sentence as a result of a change in merit,’ he wrote, ‘even if he does not change His counsel.'” What is Creator’s perspective?

Joan’s fortunes went from bad to worse when she was captured by enemy forces. The divine favor on full display before the king’s coronation was now seemingly missing entirely. A campaign of her own planning was her undoing. Was this plan the result of conferring with her inner guidance and getting their direction, or her simply using her own creativity? Did she go against divine advice? Or was this disaster fully karmic? What can Creator tell us?

Joan claimed that her voices, her divine counsel, assured her that she would be set free from captivity. Yet that never happened, and she was condemned and burned at the stake. Did her voices say that, knowing that “free” meant being back in heaven, versus being literally released physically? If so, how was this not a kind of divine “white lie” or “lie of omission” if Joan understood it to mean release from physical captivity rather than death? It seems understandable that the voices were attempting to comfort her and prevent her from deeply despairing. Was her martyrdom part of her mission plan, or simply a consequence of too many variables to successfully avoid? What can Creator tell us?

Castor wrote, “But neither could he (the newly coronated King of France) agree with the late Jean Gerson, that if the Maid faltered, the blame might lie with the inadequacies of those around her. Instead, the only possible conclusion was that she had overreached herself.” What is Creator’s perspective?

It seems that Joan’s mission life was in fact a divine chess match with the interlopers. Can Creator share with us how Empowered Prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol are the tools needed to bring this chess match to end, in favor of humanity, once and for all?
