A viewer asks: “The Pleiadians, channeled by Barbara Marciniak, claimed that all religions were developed by the Anunnaki as forms of mind control, and control of human behaviors. Is that a correct view?” Can you put this in perspective for us concerning the truth of the divine?

This is an overgeneralization. It is true that the way things have worked out for all practical purposes, one can say there has been as much harm as good coming from organized religion, but the core truth, that the divine is the true origin of life and is a love-based energy wanting humans to succeed and advance the cause of love, to the extent it shows through among the religions, they are keeping the flame of truth alive in spite of the corrupted dogma that has crept in and been instituted directly through editing the Scriptures, and so on. This partial success is owing to the divine hand because people will have a connection to the divine and will see for themselves intuitively in many cases what is true and what is less so in the religious teachings they are exposed to. This is why so many have drifted away from organized religion, they are skeptical of the dogma, but that does not mean they have abandoned the idea of spirituality altogether. So that corruption plus the many other deceptions to commandeer people searching for spiritual truth and maneuvering them into New Age thinking that creates a dead end for their growth are a significant headwind for human progress, but this does not negate the truth of the divine but only reflects the challenge for humanity to find its way under such difficult circumstances where the interlopers are working against the idea of a spiritual force because they do not believe in it themselves and fail to appreciate its value.
