We are co-creators - we are to co-create Paradise on Earth.

 
Please check out The (Re)Assembled Gospel of Thomas which sets all this out - this is a gospel about who we are

Jesus said - then (and probably even now) (Thomas #28):

‘I stood in the midst of the world and I appeared to them in flesh.
I found them all drunk; I found none among them thirsting.
And my soul is distressed over the sons of men,
because they are blind in their hearts and do not see,
for they came into the world empty, and they seek still to come out of the world empty.
However, now they are drunk, but when they cast off their wine, then they will repent.'

 

Mankind has been self incapacitated and thus set himself up for plunder
using variations of the monkey trap
all of which require mankind’s willing, and often not unwitting, participation
all of which mankind has the ability to escape from - if only we choose to.
