A viewer asks: “In the Bible story of Jesus calming the Sea of Galilee, “Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.” (Matthew 8:23-27) Was Jesus, through Creator, speaking directly to the wind and sea, or was he also, in part, speaking to the interlopers who may have churned up the storm that threatened the apostles? What can Creator tell us?”

A viewer asks: “Ancient Greece was immensely influential and widely admired. Many of its ideas were transmitted by the Roman Empire to Europe. It shaped the way much of the world now approaches law, politics, and scientific inquiry. Science, though, has evolved from a mode of inquiry into a source of authority difficult to challenge, and not tolerating dissent. Scientists are now regarded as the saviors of the world. Arguably then, the Ancient Greek culture has led to a materialist, mechanistic worldview that limits inquiry in some ways. While many people value the legal/political legacy of the ancients, what did extraterrestrials seek to prevent in law, politics, and science? Did they engineer this long-term trajectory?” What can Creator tell us?

Because helpers are so focused on the happiness and well-being of those around them, it would make sense that would likely be more conservative and risk-averse than perhaps any other role. This would also perhaps make them more susceptible to experience anxiety about the health, happiness, and welfare of those close to them. Is the stereotypical “worry wart” likely a helper? What can Creator tell us?

It needs to be re-emphasized, that these roles have nothing to do with intelligence. Most doctors (or a significant percentage) and veterinarians are helpers, occupations that require great intelligence. What is Creator’s perspective?

It would seem helper types are not good at being alone for long stretches. As cruel as solitary confinement is, it might be the most cruel to do that to a helper. Helpers have a need to be around people and even animals. Yet, are also often aware of their shortcomings as not being as gabby as orators, or as entertaining and interesting as artists, athletes, researchers, etc. This would fuel their desire to be “useful” and be the ones walking around with the coffee pot asking if anyone wants a refill (when all their cups were already full!). What advice can Creator give to others on how to best understand, value, and reward the helper types in their lives without compromising their own needs and wants, and not coming up short in the process?

Humanity appears to suffer from an extreme case of “short-sightedness.” Obviously, this can be partially explained by our relatively short lifespans. But even within the life of a single person, it’s unusual to expect anything outside of a house to last for more than a decade. And many things don’t last even that long. This is like an “artificial hardship” that is imposed and self-imposed. Many refrigerators built in the 1950s still work like new today, while today’s high-end models need expensive servicing, often just months after purchase. It’s as if our lives are intentionally designed to break, and break often, and expensively. We know planned obsolescence is real, but this is getting extreme now. It appears we do it to ourselves. Is this appearance deceiving? What is Creator’s perspective?

Right alongside planned obsolescence is a puzzling aversion to implementing redundancy. Yet redundancy has been proven time and time again to be worth the expenditure. Most yachts have two engines just for this reason. Yet there is a visible move away from redundancy in all aspects of life. Single points of failure are becoming the norm, and are one of the ways planned obsolescence is designed in. Yet, it’s a kind of insanity to surround ourselves with things that fail, fail quickly, and fail totally, beyond repair. It’s one thing if it’s a phone charging code, and quite another when it’s critical life support appliances like a furnace. The vast majority do not have any backup heat source. A tidal power outage will expose this lack of foresight like nothing else. Yet, we’ve had warnings about this, such as the 2021 Texas Deep Freeze that took over 1000 lives. Yet, it seems almost no one has learned anything from it. What is Creator’s perspective?

Do the ETs do this to themselves at all? Do they practice planned obsolescence with those lower on the caste totem pole? Or is that something they only impose on other worlds? We see the Anunnaki have engaged in megalithic building, creating structures that have lasted thousands of years. In fact, many appear to be “overbuilt” and were destroyed only by direct attack and dismantling, and not degradation or decay. There are Roman structures still as strong and useful today as the day they were built. Why have we gotten away from that? How long do Anunnaki refrigerators last? What can Creator tell us?

Another area where redundancy suffers is communications. We have become overly dependent on cell phones, almost exclusively, to the point that even home Internet is now going cellular. If the cell network fails there is literally no backup for most people and many functions. What we know about restarting a grid after an outage is that real-time voice and data communications are critical and indispensable. Is there enough redundancy left in the system to provide for this in the upcoming forecast outages? Or will extraordinary interventions be required, such as engaging the military to bring in battlefield communications equipment in order to provide the needed connections and networks necessary to perform the grid restarts? What can Creator tell us?

Another problematic dependency is GPS, the Global Positioning System, which almost everyone relies on today. So much so, that paper maps are disappearing and most young people under forty have no idea how to even read one. If this fails, many people will be utterly lost just a mile or two from their home. Does Creator foresee this as being a problem?

A viewer asks: “How do we keep children, who don’t like to be physically active, interested in things outside since many children today are not involved in farming, fishing, chopping wood for use in a fire, etc? Children who do like to be active, have tons of sports…and other activities to keep them going 24/7, such as amusement parks or activity centers with cycling, climbing, swimming, the list goes on. What about all the children who don’t like any of this? The ones who probably would have loved to be more practical with hands-on tasks, getting mucky and dirty, splashing about for no other reason than to be doing it? How do we find things for them to do in today’s world?” What is Creator’s perspective?

Finding your soulmate, your better half, the partner of your dreams, has never been easy. But lately, it seems to have become exponentially harder than ever before. It is believed that fully half of single men have given up on dating and courting women altogether. There is even a mass movement of men known as MGTOW (mig-tao) or “Men Going Their Own Way.” Critics call this movement “male supremacy,” and hateful of women, but members would dispute that and counter that modern relationships with women are downright dangerous for men—dangerous enough to warrant complete withdrawal and avoidance of any and all non-professional involvement with women. What is Creator’s perspective?

Something as simple as holding a door open for a woman has suddenly become an uncertain endeavor that could just as easily elicit condemnation and accusations of bigotry and misogyny as it does a smile and warm “thank you.” As a result, many, if not by now most, men have given up on the practice altogether, leaving a great many more traditional women confused and even angry. So it’s become almost a catch-22 situation. Damned if you do, and damned if you don’t. What is Creator’s perspective?

The advent of the Internet, and the more recent widespread adoption of smartphones, has really changed the dating scene, and most men and women would agree it’s not for the better. A recent experiment had a male set up an attractive female profile, and it generated 20,000 matches in a just a few hours. A similar reverse experiment set up by a female thinking she could prove there was a level playing field, generated only a few dozen matches to the male profile she created, in the span of an entire month, and none of those turned into an actual date. The female experimenter reported feeling completely dejected by the (for her) shocking outcome of the experiment. Women are overwhelmed with attention, and men largely report feeling almost completely invisible. What is Creator’s perspective?

In New York City, it has been observed that dating apps have enabled many women to establish different kinds of categories for men interested in them. A study reported in the New York Post revealed that 33% of women confessed to going on dates just to get “free food.” They even have a term for it, namely, a “foodie call.” Some women have a full address book of men they can call not only for free food but free home repairs, car repairs, shopping trips, travel, you name it. The women have zero intention of ever getting romantically involved with any of these men. All of these men are in the dreaded “friend zone.” What is Creator’s perspective?
