The ETs and especially the Anunnaki live with genius-level technology all the time. Can Creator comment on the mystery of how such genius-level beings cannot figure out on their own the reality of the Divine?

This is as good an example as any about the evil of corrupted thinking and prejudice in showing how it can take over the mind and affect all the thinking to be distorted and limited in its effectiveness and end up undermining the individual and their progress. The corruption by the dark spirit meddlers of the Anunnaki is what started them on a path of diminishment. They were already flirting with disaster in becoming too self-reliant by virtue of their technological achievements, thinking that was the goal of life and the highest of attainments. Having conquered aging largely, to such a degree that they can live as long as a million years, the practical consequence of that was being away from the light for tremendous lengths of time and being in a mode of existence supported by their technology, as they were, requiring little work from them through advanced automation and technological prowess to provide for their creature comforts, including an ability for interstellar travel. Being seemingly self-sufficient and with a waning interest in the divine realm, they gradually came to believe more and more in their own power, their own self-importance, and the further pursuit and refinement of material possessions, and to gain increasing satisfaction from substitutes for love rather than love itself. This set them up for a dramatic diminishment with the scourge of spirit possession which worked to disconnect them from their higher selves, and this left them increasingly on their own and at the mercy of their own materialist culture to have less and less interest in anything beyond themselves, and they became a society devoid of love with only personal power and control as a means of self-gratification and survival. This was a slippery slope of settling for less by not appreciating or knowing the difference. This is the path humanity is on currently, with the growing Secular Movement where it seems unimportant to embrace one’s own religious heritage almost universally present in everyone’s ancestry but increasingly neglected or abandoned. People fail to realize they are giving up their lifeline when they turn away from God. The fact there are still decent people among you is solely because they have not been so many years away from the light and still have an inner orientation that is spiritual, meaning at least an appreciation for ethics and morality. This creates the assumption one does not need God or the idea of a Divine Being or Source in our makeup and existence because we can seem to live without it just fine. People will still love their neighbor and follow the Golden Rule, for the most part, to get along with one another and have a workable society where people value the same things—the importance of family, raising children to be healthy and happy and productive citizens, and to take care of one another. These are all examples of divine wisdom in action and come from the idea "how best to express love" which is a divine attribute. To give up God is ultimately to give up love because love will wane in exact proportion to the degree and duration of your disconnection from an awareness of the divine. This is inherent as a consequence of making that choice to deny one’s origin, so in a sense you cut your own throat because the only thing to fill that vacuum will be the forces of evil. The divine will not force itself on you but will allow you to make your choices and live with the consequences no matter what. The power rests with you to choose your fate and it will be different than if you call on Creator to help you.
