  1. A compulsive sex drive is the symptom of mental turmoil, and the real driving force is to physically stop the mental movement for a time so the unconscious mind can rest. Do not fight with the symptoms, ignore them, and focus on focusing the mind. In the beginning, the same relief, and later, a vastly deeper release, peace, and completion than sexuality could ever provide can be found through concentration. As the mind wanders from topic to topic under the storm of changing through it has to be brought back into balance, this is why we need sleep, after the body is exhausted by the wandering of the mind. Whatever happens steadily bring the mind back to the image of the Lord, the cross, or another holy image. Use the same one and do not waver from the one you chose to others as doubts and other new mental wanderings enter the mind. As the mind is overwhelmed the life ends up flowing downwards and turning into material desire. Revelations 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Steadily bring the mind back minute after minute, hour after hour, day after day. Ignore all thoughts of "it won't work" or "it is working!" alike, and keep coming back to it. You may find something you never knew was possible. Matthew 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. The books "The imitation of Christ" and "The spiritual guide" by Michael Molinos are very thorough on methods of mastering this. As you progress, what Jesus Christ promised us will occur: Matthew 6:22 They shall take up serpents etc. The flow is reversed back up the body through the crown of the head and back to soul peace. Numbers 21:8 And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.
  2. Doubt comes from the latin root, diable, so does duality. If you don't know where it came from, the message was missing the messenger. When Jesus appeared to St. Paul on the road to Damascus it was an evident occurrence, and before he said anything else, he asked, "Who are you?" and got a direct answer. Basing spirituality off emotionalism or maybes is a road to disaster.
  3. Everyone prior to Joseph in the bible is an allegory not meant to be taken literally. This can be seen in the very names Adam and Eve, אָדָם חַוָּה which can be taken as reason, and feeling. When feeling overrides reason, reason loses its place in Eden, גַּן עֵדֶן or unity with God. Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? Galatians chapter 4: 22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. 23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. 24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
  4. Always seek to know the patterns of the darkness to avoid them. Always. I cannot restate this enough. Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. Satan has the power to take you to the pinnacle of the temple (almost the highest peace and contentment humanly possible) for a time to try and get you to cast yourself down and worship him (find your fulfillment in lusts, married or not), to plant thoughts of any kind in the mind, to put a man into any position of authority in the legal or political field or in any religion ( Luke 4:6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.) to make the wrong partners fall in love, to incite lifelong delusion and illusion which is sweet at first but ends in pain late in life, to incite a person to anger, lust, greed, pride etc, to cause illnesses (Luke 13:16 And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?" or afterwards, to organize people to fight a war, and take over people's bodies for a short or extended time. The list is endless, but all of his deceptions are generally very pleasant - at first. No one drinks bitter poison. He has the power to destroy but not create (at least anything perfect), and has created stories of him being able to heal to entice the weak minded to commit the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit (attributing to Satan what is God's power alone, such as healing or casting out evil spirits) by saying that so and so was healed by so and so, but that when they were blessed or exorcised the original injury came back and so on. Only God has the power to do good, through whatever medium he chooses, and he is no respector of persons or their religions. Mark 9:38 And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us. 39 But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me. 40 For he that is not against us is on our part. He first works through playing on your thoughts and desires, because he desires nothing more than for you to die with unfulfilled desires. As you move away from trying to fulfill yourself outside of God he will steadily bring in greater temptations, through his devotees which are everywhere, and at the end direct manifestations with first bribes and then threats, and lastly persecution, strife, and disbelief from the millions of minds he is one with. His servants, whether they are simply materialists who ignorantly worship their own egos, or people who work directly with him and knowingly for whatever reason, become a part of him when they die (read about legion) just as those who become the sons of God become one with Him, yet maintain their individuality outwardly. Those who follow faith without works - έργον τό (dead faith with no "workings" or more correctly translated, proofs one is on the right path) he never bothers much. "And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable. And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them. And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables? The sower soweth the word. And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended. And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, and the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred." - Mark 4:10-20
  5. I forgot to mention that Jesus often speaks of this in the scriptures, "And in secret have I said nothing", אין Ain, the vacuum of Spirit.
  6. Exorcism frees a person from demonic control, signs of which are known as the 7 deadly sins: wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy, and gluttony. Jesus refers to these as the 7 "more wicked spirits" which come to a person after having driven out the devil the first time but thought back upon material joy for whatever reason, such as the wife of lot turning back to Sodom or sensuality and becoming a pillar of salt, (her spiritual life frozen). Once it leaves, a person feels a peace so deep it is palpable and so beyond the flesh that it reduces the value of even the most intense sensual pleasures (and human love for that matter takes a second place to the presence of God within)... to less than nothing. Temptation is shattered forever and only God burns in the mind. Possession can occur through many things like extended daydreaming or from believing that sensual joys are more fulfilling than spiritual ones, which is nothing else but direct idol worship. This is why satanists place so much emphasis on money, sex, and power. They easily get these things freely (a worldly unsuccessful satanist is but a dabbler), but the price is the soul. It is important to remember Matthew 16:26 "For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" Anything which does not last has no real being, which is why in half baked spiritual practice (such as praying but secretly wanting something materialistic) good feelings are only mediocre (which may be the be all end all to someone who has not experienced spiritual ecstasy) and do not last (Read Revelations cap.t 3:15-16, the soul was flowing back to God, but due to going back to material living one falls from the light), as opposed to fulfilling all wishes and entirely permanent, ever new holiness. Until it is experienced no words can describe it. No mortal wish soever can survive in the light after the driving out of all darkness, and it is what everyone is really looking for but seeks the reflection of in the myriads of concessions to human weaknesses, but is never fully sated because only God is complete, and only God can fill that emptiness. It does not happen overnight but occurs in a moment after long preparation. And once it does it can often take even years to believe one is feeling it without any kind of external stimulation such as another person - but entirely from within, dependent on God alone. God stays in hiding only until one has been tested thoroughly enough to ensure that the person wants God, and only God. People just looking, just getting by, and superficially seeking Him will not find Him. God is available to everyone, even evil spirits if they will turn away from the darkness and back to Him. This is what is mean when Jesus exorcises the possessed man and tells the evil spirit "Hold your peace, and come out of him." He is to hold onto the peace Jesus is offering him, and give up trying to relive body pleasures in the victimized man.
  7. I have to agree on lies we hope for. They form the basis of material society and all side-path religion. John chapter 6 explains that the truth is generally hard to hear. 60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it? 61 When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you? 62 What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? 63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. 64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him. 65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. 66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
  8. Perhaps it meant spiritually or emotionally healthy and not physically healthy in your blessing... Never associate physical success with spiritual. St. Francis of Assissi was afflicted with horrible health problems his entire life, but often spoke with Jesus face to face. Often illnesses remind us that life on earth is temporary and they are an opportunity to prepare ourselves for eternity. That said, it sounds like a large build up of urea and mineral salts in the blood, try a meat free diet for a while and see if that helps, most animal proteins put too much in the blood and between meals containing it you need several days to flush it out.
  9. Sooner or later, one has to transcend the reason. The process can be exceptionally painful if one tries to hold onto their static reality map instead of letting the breakdown of reality pass, stepping out of the mind and into the physical world for the first time - able to see for the first time since the preventative program of the old mind is finally gone, into the new world order where the spirit, freed from the sensual and material, is openly visible with the senses and not with mental concepts which were used to filter "reality" or rather hide from it before. Truth is usually painful at first but sweet in the end, just as all evil is always sweet at first, sometimes for an entire lifetime but bitter in the end: no one drinks bitter poison, and most medicines are unpalatable. Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Revelations 21:1 1 And I saw a new heaven (mind) and a new earth (internal reality map): for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea (Binah בינה or sorrow).
  10. I have a few members in my congregation that were once involved, and helped them out of it and back to Jesus Christ. I also learned the intricate workings of satanism from them, which is absolutely rampant in society. If you were only involved in the Anton LaVey dabbler stuff, you simply need to work on removing your egotism to get back to normal. That type is only a recruiting ground for the real deal, and LaVey was Kenneth Anger's brainchild & puppet. If you were involved in the traditionalist satanism, you need to take some series steps. In a traditionalist satanic lodge, to get one's first degree, one has to betray a lover, commit an act of violence, or some serious crime. To get the second degree, one must join a mainstream religion, obtain a good reputation, be well spoken of, clean cut with good hygiene, and obtain a position in a career that benefits the coven - generally a law enforcement officer (this is the most common choice), doctor, undertaker, attorney, psychiatrist, politician etc. To obtain the third degree, one must obtain a leadership position in their church of choice, business leadership, and/or a political office, plus obtain a very large sum of money from hurting the poor or desperate, be married, and hold a lot of influence. If you were in the latter, you must renounce all pacts, give up the wealth and prestige you obtained, leave the high paying career the coven gave you, leave your wife is she was a member and preferably turn in the other members publicly regardless of the endless threats you received in taking the oaths/pacts of silence. Then you must see a priest who has gone beyond theoretical knowledge, emotionalism, and preaching. Someone who can perform a proper exorcism ceremony, and attend church, read the bible constantly, and pray your way out.
  11. I'm a bit confused myself, as to all the confusion and jesting. Brigham Young stated that "The work of the Lord" was to get rid of one's ego, and the symbolism of Genesis and the fall is that we have all adopted it and have to free ourselves from it. John chapter 8: 43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. 57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? 58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, *Before Abraham was, I am.* (I'd suggest reading the whole chapter.)

  12. Brigham Young says, “But the most simple thing in the world is to understand is the work of the Lord. What shall we do? Divest ourselves of great, big “Mr. I.”” Volume 13 | Journal of Discourses (in 272) "Your fall started with the appearance of that beingness, ‘I am’. With the appearance of this knowingness ‘I am’, the next fall was embracing the body as ‘I am’. (Genesis 3:21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins [physical bodies], and clothed them.) And then you gathered so many things onto yourself. Hold on to the state of knowing yourself as ‘I am’ as the truth. All other things you have gathered to yourself are unreal. From the no-knowing state, the first veil I took was that of ‘I am’, That was formless, nameless. But I embraced the body: I got a form for myself; I got a name for myself. This was the fall. Therefore all sages advise: Give up the shackles of the body! ‘I am the body’ – these are the shackles. Give them up." -Nisargadatta Maharaj, experience of nothingness. Book of Mirdad: CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO .. .. On Sin and the Shedding Of the Fig-Leaf Aprons .. .. MIRDAD: You have been told of sin, and you would know how Man became a sinner. And you declare – and not without a merit – that if Man, the image and the likeness of God, be a sinner, then God Himself must be the source of Sin. Therein is a snare for the unsuspecting; and I would not have you, my companions, ensnared. Therefore would I remove this snare from your path that you may remove it from the paths of men. There is no sin in God, unless it be sin for the Sun to give of his light to a candle. Nor is there sin in Man, unless it be sin for a candle to burn itself away in the Sun and thus be joined unto the Sun. But there is sin in the candle that would not forth its light, and when a match is applied to its wick, it curses the match and the hand that applied it. There is sin in the candle that is ashamed of burning in the Sun; therefore would screen itself away from the Sun. Man did not disobeying the Law; rather by covering his ignorance of the Law. Aye, there is sin in the fig-leaf apron. Have you not read the story of the fall of Man, so frugal and naïve of word, but so sublime and so subtle of meaning? Have you not read how Man, when fresh from the bosom of God, was like an infant God – passive, inert, uncreative? For though endowed with all the attributes of godhood yet, like all infants, was he incapable of knowing, much less of exercising, his infinite capacities and talents. Like a lonely seed encased in a beauteous vial was Man in the garden of Eden. A seed in a vial will remain a seed, and never will the marvels sealed up within its skin be stirred to life and light save it be hid in a soil congenial to its nature, and the skin thereof be broken. But Man had no soil of his nature to plant himself therein and to sprout forth. His was a face nowhere reflected in a kindred face. His was a human ear which heard no human voice. His was a human voice which echoed back from no human throat. His was a heart which beat a lonely unison. Alone – so utterly alone – was Man amid a world well paired and launched upon its course. He was a stranger to himself; he had no labor of his own and no set course to follow. ....Eden.... to him was what a comfortable crib is to a babe – a state of passive bliss; a well-appointed incubator. The tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil, and the tree of Life were both within his reach; yet he would stretch no hand to pluck and taste of their fruit; for his taste and his will, his thoughts and his desires, and even his very life were all wrapped up within him and awaiting to be slowly unwrapped. He, by himself, could not do the unwrapping. Therefore was he made to yield out of himself a helpmeet for himself – a hand that would help him unwind his many wrappings. Where else could his help be got save from his own being so rich with help because so potent with divinity? And that is most significant. Not a new dust and breath is Eve; but the very dust and breath of Adam – a bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh. Not another creature appears on the scene; but the self-same single Adam is made a twain – a He-Adam and a She-Adam. Thus the solitary, unmirrored face acquires a companion and a mirror; and the name unechoed in any human voice begins to reverberate in sweet refrains up and down the alleys of Eden; and the heart whose lonely beats were muffled in a lonely breast begins to feel its pulse and to hear its beats in a companion heart within a companion breast. Thus sparkless steel encounters the flint which brings forth its sparks in abundance. Thus the unlit candle is set a-light from both ends. One is the candle, one is the wick, and one is the light, though issuing from seemingly opposite ends. And thus the seed in the vial finds the soil where it can germinate and unfold its mysteries. So does Unity unconscious of itself beget Duality, that through the friction and opposition of Duality it may be made to understand its unity. It that also is Man the faithful image of and the likeness of his God. For God – the Primal Consciousness – projects of Himself the Word; and both Word and Consciousness are unified in Holy Understanding. Not a punishment is Duality, but a process inherent in the nature of Unity and necessary for the unfolding of its divinity. How childish to think otherwise! How childish to believe that so stupendous a process can be made to run its course in three-score years and ten, or even in three-score millions of years! Is it so small a matter to become a god? Is God so cruel and miserly a taskmaster that, with all eternity to give away, He should allot Man no more than so brief a span as seventy years in which to unify himself and regain his Eden fully aware of his godhood and his unity with God? Long is the course of Duality; and foolish are they who would measure it with calendars. Eternity counts not the revolutions of the stars. When Adam the passive, the inert, the uncreative was made dual he forthwith became active, full of motion and able to create a procreate himself. What was the first act of Adam made dual? It was to eat of the tree of knowledge of Good and Evil and thus to make his whole world as dual as himself. No longer were things as they were – innocent and indifferent. But they became either good or bad, useful or harmful, pleasant or unpleasant; they became to opposing camps, whereas before they were one. And the serpent that beguiled Eve to taste of Good and Evil, was he not the deeper voice of active, yet inexperienced, Duality urging itself to act and experience? That Eve was the first to hear that voice and obey it is no wonder at all. For Eve was the whetstone, as it were; the instrument designed to bring out the powers latent in her mate. Have you not often stopped to visualize the first Woman in this first human story stealing her way among the trees of Eden, her nerves on edge, her heart a-flutter like a bird in a cage, her eyes searching everywhere for possible detection, her mouth watering as her trembling hand reached out for the tempting fruit? Have you not held your breath as she plucked the fruit and sank her teeth into its tender meat to taste a momentary sweetness which was to turn into everlasting bitterness for herself and all her progeny? Have you not wished with all your hearts that God would forestall Eve’s insane audacity by appearing to her just as she was about to commit her reckless deed, and not afterward as He does in the story? And having committed her deed, have you not wished that Adam would possess the wisdom and the courage to abstain from being her accomplice? Yet neither did God intervene, nor Adam abstain. For God would not have His likeness unlike Him. It was His will and plan that Man should walk the long way of Duality in order to unfold his own will and plan and unify himself by Understanding. As to Adam he could not, even if he wished, refrain from partaking of the fruit tendered him by his wife. It was incumbent on him to eat of it simply because his wife had eaten of it, for the two were one flesh, and each was accountable for the other’s acts. Was God indignant and wroth because Man ate of the fruit of Good and Evil? God forbid. For He knew that Man could not but eat, and He wished him to eat; but He wished him also to know beforehand the consequence of eating and to have the stamina to face that consequence. And Man had the stamina. And Man did eat. And Man faced the consequence. And the consequence was Death. For Man in becoming actively dual through the will of God had forthwith died to passive unity. Therefore is Death no penalty, but a phase of life inherent in Duality. For the nature of Duality is to make all things dual and to beget for everything a shadow. So Adam begot his shadow in Eve; and both begot for their life a shadow called Death. But Adam and Eve, though shadowed by Death, continue to have shadowless life in the life of God. A constant friction is Duality; and the friction gives the illusion of two opposing sides bent upon self-extermination. In truth the seeming opposites are self-completing, self-fulfilling and working hand in hand to one and the same end – the perfect peace, and unity, and balance of Holy Understanding. But the illusion is rooted in the senses, and it persists so long as the senses persist. Therefore did Adam answer God when He called him after his eyes were opened, ‘I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.’ Also, ‘The woman thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.’ No other was Eve but Adam’s very bone and very flesh. Yet consider this new-born I of Adam which, after its eyes were opened, began to see itself as something different, apart, and independent of Eve, of God and all of God’s creation. An illusion was this ..I... An illusion of the newly opened eye was this personality detached from God. It had not substance, nor reality. It was born that through its death Man might come to know his real self which is the self of God. It shall vanish away when the outer eye is darkened and the inner eye is illumined. And though it baffled Adam, yet did it strongly intrigue his mind and lure his imagination. To have a self which one can call entirely one’s own – that is indeed too flattering and too tempting to Man who has no consciousness of any self. And Adam was tempted and flattered by his illusionary self. And thought he was ashamed of it because too unreal, or too naked, yet would he not part therewith; instead he clung to it with all his heart and all his new-born ingenuity. And he sewed fig leaves together and made him an apron wherewith to cover up his naked personality and keep it to himself away from the all-penetrating eye of God. So ....Eden...., the state of blissful innocence, the unity unconscious of itself, fell away from the dual fig-leaf aproned Man; and swords of flame were put between him and the Tree of Life. Man walked out of ....Eden.... through the twin gate of Good and Evil; he shall walk in through the single gate of Understanding. He made his exit with his back to the Tree of Life; he shall re-enter with his face to that tree. He set out on his long and trying journey ashamed of his nakedness and careful to hide his shame; he shall reach his journey’s end with his purity unaproned, and with his heart proud of his nudity. But that shall not come to pass until Man by Sin be delivered from Sin. For Sin shall prove its own undoing. And where is Sin but in the fig-leaf apron? Aye, nothing else is Sin but the barrier that Man set up between himself and God – between his transient self and his abiding Self. At first a handful of fig leaves, that barrier has come to be a mighty bulwark. For ever since he shed away the innocence of Eden Man has been very hard at work amassing more and more fig leaves and sewing aprons upon aprons. The slothful are content to go on patching up the rents in their aprons with shreds discarded by their more industrious neighbors. And every patch in the garment of Sin is sin, for it tends to perpetuate that shame which was Man’s first and very poignant feeling upon his detachment from God. Is Man doing aught to overcome his shame? Alas! All his labours are shame heaped upon shame, and aprons upon aprons. What are Man’s arts and learnings but fig leaves? His empires, nations, racial segregations and religions on the war path, are they not cults of fig-leaf worship? His codes of right and wrong, of honour and dishonour, of justice and injustice; his countless social creeds and conventions – are they not fig-leaf aprons? His valuing the invaluable, and measuring the immeasurable, and standardizing that which is beyond any standard – is not all that patching the overpatched loin-cloth? His gluttony of pleasures that are rife with pain; his greed for riches that empoverish; his thirst for mastery which subjugates, and lust for grandeur that belittles – are not all these so many figleaf aprons? In his pathetic rush to cover up his nakedness Man has put on too many aprons which in the course of years have stuck so tightly to his skin that he no longer distinguishes between them and his skin. And Man gasps for breath; and Man appeals for relief from his many skins. Yet, in his delirium, Man would do all things to be relieved of his burden except the only thing that can in truth relieve him of his burden, and that is to throw off that burden. He would be rid of his extra skins while clinging to them with all his might. He would be denuded, and yet remain fully dressed. The time of denuding is at hand. And I am come to help you shed away your extra skins – your fig-leaf aprons – that you may help all yearners in the world to shed away theirs, too. I only point the way; but each shall do his shedding by himself, however painful be the undertaking. Wait not on any miracle to save you from yourself, nor be afraid of pain; for naked Understanding shall turn your pain into an everlasting ecstasy of joy. Should you then face yourselves in the nakedness of Understanding, and should God call to you and ask: “Where are you?”, you would not feel ashamed; nor would you be afraid; nor would you hide away from God. But rather would you stand unshaken, unbound, and divinely serene, and answer back to God” ‘Behold us, God – our soul, our being, our only self. In shame and fear and pain have we walked the long, and rough, and tortuous path of Good and Evil which you have appointed us at the dawn of Time. The Great Nostalgia urged our feet, and Faith sustained our hearts, and now has Understanding lifted our burdens, bound up our wounds, and brought us back into your holy presence naked of Good and Evil, Life and Death; naked of all illusions of Duality; naked of every self except your all-embracing Self. With no fig leaves to hide our nakedness we stand before you unashamed, illumined, unafraid. Behold, we are unified. Behold, we have overcome.’ And God shall embrace you with infinite Love, and straightway shall lead you unto his Tree of Life. So taught I Noah. So I teach you. Naronda: This also was said by the Master around the brazier.
  13. I am not theorizing on this, you must keep in mind that Joseph Smith (and all the other prophets) were a Freemason, and that he was teaching the goal of making it to the Celestial Kingdom. “As we conquer the conditions of a planet, we incarnate on the next planet inward until we return to the Father of All, when our experiences link together, become intelligible, and star speaks to star. Terra is the last planet where bodies are made of earth; in Venus they are fluid; on Mercury aerial; while in the Sun they are fashioned of pure fire.” “And this is the true and final secret of Freemasonry; this Sun, is it not the Great Architect of the Universe, the Father of the System, the Eidolon of the Macrocosm? And this Phallus, is it not the Great Architect of this other Universe of Man, the Father of the Race, the Eidolon of the Microcosm?” Read the Journal of Discourses 13:271 “So it is with the inhabitants of the sun… Do you think there is any life there? No question of it.” And in 272 Brigham Young speaks of the annihilation of the ego in the abyss: “But the most simple thing in the world is to understand is the work of the Lord. What shall we do? Divest ourselves of great , big “Mr. I.”” Volume 13 | Journal of Discourses
  14. Kolob - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "saw the stars, that they were very great, and that one of them was nearest unto the throne of God;....and the name of the great one is Kolob, because it is near unto me, for I am the Lord thy God: I have set this one to govern all those which belong to the same order as that upon which thou standest." -Pearl of Great Price Kolob is modernized Hebrew for Mercury, alt. spelling is Kokob in older texts.
  15. They found a fossilized wooden vessel in Iran which fits the age and description of Noah's ark, but in the bible the ark is supposed to represent the fetus and the amniotic fluid in swims in, carrying all the animals "two by two" or genetic chromosomes which went into the ark.
