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 hours ago • Divine Realm5 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 hours ago • Divine Realm3 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.

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 hours ago • Divine Realm3 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 hours ago • Divine Realm4 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 hours ago • Divine Realm4 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? What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 5 hours ago • Divine Realm8 views0 answers0 votesIronically, though Susy Smith set out to write a book that largely promulgates the message, “Let go and let God,” she finished the book with a warning that ALL should take to heart. She wrote, “Although the illustrations I have to offer involve demented people who have undoubtedly become possessed by evil spirits or satanic influences, others who are not at all deranged, may be self-deluded by their religious fervor and do things their intelligence should advise against, because they believe, ‘God told me to do it,’ or ‘Jesus asked me.’ Quite the most appalling thing that I know about personally, occurred to a Lutheran minister friend of mine. … On Thanksgiving morning, this pastor was conducting a religious service in a new chapel he had recently built on his home property. His wife … his two daughters and his mother-in-law, and a psychotic patient he was treating along with other neighbors and friends were in attendance. While the pastor was praying, his eyes closed and his Bible in his hands, the patient pulled out a huge, sharp knife and slashed the pastor’s throat, nearly decapitating him. … The most impossibly horrible thing about this was that all the time he was killing my friend, the man was shouting, ‘Praise the Lord’ and ‘I’m doing this for Jesus.'” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 5 hours ago • Divine Realm7 views0 answers0 votesSpeaking in tongues once served a critical need, which arguably is no longer needed due to the modern advent of Internet communications and even real-time translation software and utilities. The language barrier that has existed since shortly after the reseeding of humanity some 200,000 years ago, and encapsulated in the biblical Tower of Babel story, is firmly coming down. Language is no longer a barrier in our modern world. Therefore, as remarkable and inspiring as speaking in tongues is, it just isn’t needed like it once was. And it certainly isn’t needed if, as St. Paul put it, “no man understandeth him.” So what IS needed? Can Creator tell us how Empowered Prayer, the Lightworker Healing Protocol, Deep Subconscious Mind Reset, and Divine Life Support are the tools we need now to be in divine alignment and save humanity?ClosedNicola asked 5 hours ago • Divine Realm5 views0 answers0 votesMuch has been said about the Divine Rules of Engagement since the beginning of the Get Wisdom Project, and viewers are encouraged to review the copious material on GetWisdom.com, especially the searchable Divine Wisdom Database. In this show, we aim to explore novel questions, in the hope of bringing forward new insights and understandings about how the divine interacts with the physical universe and humanity in particular. Creator has shared that the future survival of humanity as a species depends on successfully triggering and launching a mass Ascension to a new “Ascended Earth” that Christ and the divine realm are preparing for and anticipating. One of the many new attainments when this has been achieved is a new level of behavioral and creative freedom never before afforded to an entire species of light beings. New freedoms essentially mean New Rules of Engagement. The question is, will those new rules apply only to life on Ascended Earth, or to new worlds and creations brought about by Ascended Humanity, or will these new rules apply to ALL of present creation? Will Ascended Humans have greater freedom to interact with physical beings and spirits stuck in limbo than is now the case with members of the divine realm presently? What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 3 days ago • Divine Realm29 views0 answers0 votesShortly after Christ’s resurrection, he is said to have ascended to heaven in his physical body, and this was witnessed by several individuals who have shared their testimony. Did anything change for HIM as a result of this attainment, so far as the rules of engagement are concerned? Is he still bound by the same rules of engagement in place before his Ascension, or is he able to operate under the NEW rules anticipated for Ascended Humanity on a new Ascended Earth? If not, does he have to wait for the mass Ascension itself before he can operate under new rules of engagement, like everyone else? What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 3 days ago • Divine Realm55 views0 answers0 votesSuccessful Hollywood Film Producer Paul Davids and Dr. Gary Schwartz of the University of Arizona, who has spent much of his career scientifically studying whether human consciousness survives death and if mediumship is authentic, have co-authored a 2016 book entitled An Atheist in Heaven. Paul Davids was good friends with the late Forrest J. Ackerman who is the subject atheist of the book. Forrest was known for saying he did not believe in life after death, but if it turned out he was wrong, he would “drop them a line.” It turns out Forrest (known to his friends as “Forry”) ended up dropping many lines to many people, as the book shares in great detail. One such incident was with a filmmaker from Canada who attended Forry’s memorial service. Afterwards, this filmmaker went to Forry’s crypt and knocked on the marble, saying out loud, “Uncle Forry, hi, it’s us, Michael and Ian, we’ve come to show our movie about you at the tribute for you.” They returned to their hotel room where Mike wanted to update a Facebook blog. This required a CAPTCHA code readable by humans but not computers. To Michael’s astonishment, the code that came up was “Ackerman000.” Michael felt this was a direct response to knocking on Forry’s crypt. A few moments later, Michael’s friend Ian blurted out, “Is he really dead?” The following sentence is verbatim from the book: “At that moment, the second phenomenon occurred, this time from Ian’s computer. A voice blurted out the words, ‘Oh my God, no way!'” Was Forry doing this? Was he in the light at the time, or still in limbo? And how does all this fit within the rules of engagement? What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 3 days ago • Divine Realm52 views0 answers0 votesWhile researching this topic, Brian was watching the documentary film by Paul Davids, The Life After Death Project. On a coffee table next to Brian was his iPad in sleep mode. Suddenly, the iPad woke up spontaneously out of sleep mode, and a childlike voice blurted out the words, “I think you’re pretty great, too!” The iPad promptly went back into sleep mode. Brian immediately recognized how this was a nearly identical incident that occurred to filmmaker Ian described in the question just discussed. The voice was described as “childlike” in that occurrence as well. Years ago, in the 1980s, Brian was doing some experimental channeling with a friend when the spirit being channeled told Brian, “You have the opportunity to be great …” Was Forry referring to that channeling from decades ago? Why would Forry think Brian was “pretty great, too?” When Forry got to the light, did he, too, learn about the Get Wisdom Project and take an interest in it, even reviewing the akashic records of its founders? Did Forry think Brian was “pretty great” because of the Spirit Rescue and Lightworker Healing Protocol session work he did for him? What can Creator tell us about this occurrence, why those words were chosen, and how it all fits into the rules of engagement?ClosedNicola asked 3 days ago • Divine Realm21 views0 answers0 votesIn 2015, a séance was held in Forry’s former home, affectionately known as the “Ackermansion,” where Forry was a huge collector of Science Fiction memorabilia and essentially ran an informal museum of sorts when he lived there. Forrest Ackerman invented the term “Sci-fi” and was the founder and editor of the famous film genre magazine, Famous Monsters of Filmland, which was a huge favorite with teenagers in the late fifties and sixties. Steven Spielberg is counted among those who thought Forry was “pretty great.” He inspired an entire generation of famous filmmakers, authors, and special effects wizards. In that séance, it was asked what he (Forry) and other spirits were doing with their time. From the book, “What big project are they working on? Well, one must expend much energy to communicate with us (us incarnate humans that is), or to try to make their presence known, although the interest in communicating with us is substantial. So they, on the other side, are actively doing research, looking for ways to make communication between us and them easier and more efficient.” Were all the spirits attending that séance, including Forry Ackerman, still in limbo? For if they were in the light, they would know the rules of engagement, and that direct communication between spirits and humans was something strictly limited as it interferes with free will, and especially the free will of doubters to embrace their disbelief without overwhelming proof forcing the removal of all skepticism.
