The Balance of Mercy and Justice

Mercy and Justice - VectorPortal The balance of mercy and justice concerning Christ’s atonement has always been an important subject of interest to me. I have found that many do not seem to understand the depth of this most significant subject.

While I was serving as Stake President in Boulder, Colorado, we asked the Lord to guide the High Council in choosing twelve topics that the saints needed to hear over the year.  We then assigned members of the council to prepare research material on each of the chosen topics that would bless the lives of the congregations they served.

When it came to my turn, I prepared a presentation on the balance of Mercy and Justice of the perfect infinite atonement—showing the grandeur of the Lord’s flawless plan of Happiness. It was received well by the members.

When the Church was studying the Doctrine and Covenants in 2021, I suggested to my good friend Rod Meldrum that I share the atonement balance visually by way of a podcast in conjunction with Section 88. It went really well, also.

Dr. David R. Hocking

I have been intrigued by David R. Hocking’s seventh book in his series of annotated editions of sacred scriptures.  Recently, I have offered to help him with his new book on the Journal of Joseph Smith. I believe this edition is going to be the best one ever. I have given him several suggestions in my enthusiasm for what he is doing, and he has included several of my recommendations.

I called David the other morning impressed that the previous podcast with Rod Meldrum would complement his Doctrine and Covenants Section 88 subject. I was pleased he included the YouTube link along with a URL Code in his new book.

I hope you will take the time to watch the video to better understand the balance of mercy and justice concerning Christ’s perfect and infinite atonement.

They Knew the Prophet Joseph Smith

How is the best way to know a person but through family and close acquaintances?  In 2004, Hyrum L Andrus and Helen Mae Andrus published the book: “They Knew the Prophet Joseph Smith; personal accounts from over 100 people who knew Joseph Smith.” The book comprises personal accounts of over 100 recorded remembrances of individuals who were close to Joseph Smith.

I have chosen several highlights from the book to share with you. Their insights are most inspiring.

Elizabeth Ann Whitney – Page 38

During the journey, the Prophet often prophesied of the destruction that ultimately would come upon the cities of the eastern states, and especially New York that in that city where would not be left a vestige of its grandeur.

Page 39 Feast for the poor such as I knew could not return the same to us: to lame, to halt, the deaf, the blind, the aged and infirm. The feast lasted three days during which time all in the vicinity of Kirtland who would come were invited and entertained as countlessly and generously as if they had been able to extend hospitality instead of receiving it. The Prophet Joseph and his two councilors were present each day talking blessing and comforting the poor with words of encouragement and their most welcome presence. The Prophet Joseph often referred to this particular feast during his lifetime and testified of the great blessing he felt in associating with the meek and humble ones from the Lord has said that “He delights to own and bless.”

The first patriarchal blessing meeting over which Joseph Smith senior presided was one of the most striking features of that particular period of time. In this meeting, I received a gift of singing inspirationally, and the first song of Zion ever given the pure language was sung by me then and interpreted by Parley P Pratt. It describes the manner in which the ancient patriarchs blessed their families and offers some accounts of Adam-ondi-Ahman. The Prophet Joseph promised me that I should never lose this gift if I would be wise in using it, and his words have been verified.

Oliver B Huntington – Page 60

He spoke earnestly of improving one’s time in this life.

I heard him say that he hoped the spirit of invention and improvement would rest upon the Saints as it was upon the Gentiles, for unless it did there would be many useful and important inventions to be lost to the world when the great destruction of the nations comes. it would then probably take hundreds of years to reproduce them again among men yes and perhaps thousands of years before they would get back upon the earth. [I think this was quoted incorrectly.]

P62  We will just stay here [in Nauvoo] 7 years he answered. The Lord has told Joseph just seven years this is not to be made public I would not like to have the word go any further.
The Lord has told Joseph that when we leave here, we will go into the Rocky Mountains right into the midst of the Lamanites. [That was literally fulfilled.]

Anson Call – Page 104

It is impossible to represent in words the grandeur of Joseph’s appearance, his beautiful descriptions of this land, and his wonderful prophetic utterances as they emanated from the glorious inspirations that overshadowed him. There was a force and power in his exclamations of which the following is but a faint echo: “Oh the Beauty of those snow-capped mountains! The cool refreshing streams that are running down through those mountain gorges.”

“But the priesthood shall prevail over its enemies triumph over the devil and be established upon the earth never more to be thrown down.”

Jesse W. Crosby – Page 139

The prophet had great ability as a financier and had his enemies left him he would have become one of the wealthiest men in America. Everything his hand touched seemed to prosper. His fields were always in good condition and yielded well. When people came to see him and he had many visitors their teams would feed the best of hay and his barn was full. No other orchard had a fine fruit as did his. If an inferior cow was by any means shoved on him it would be but a short time before she became a first-class milker. Many men saw his advice when in financial difficulty and none failed to profit by it if they followed the council he gave.

The prophet was strong and active and could build more rods of good fence in one day than most men could in two, and he always left his fence clear of everything that might gather fire such as underbrush, loose limbs, and tall strong weeds. He was orderly. His woodyard was an example of order. Logs were neatly piled, and all trash was cleared away. If he did not finish the log on which he was chopping, the remnant was laid back on the pile not left on the ground for a stumbling block. The chips he made he picked up himself into a basket put them in a wooden box which stood in the word yard or carried them into the house to be burned.

During a period of financial depression for the Prophet, the ax was stolen from his woodyard and I contrived to loan him my ax because of the unfailing habit of the Prophet to always sharpen the ax he had been using before it left his hand. People in that section burned hardwood and to keep the ax in good shape required much time and energy.

Gilbert Belknap – Page 174

His theological reasoning was of God. In his domestic circle, he was mild and forbearing but resolute and determined in the accomplishment of God’s work although opposed by the combined powers of Earth. He gathered his thousands around him and planted a great city which was to be the foundation of a mighty empire and consecrated it to God as the land of Zion. At the same time, he endured the most unparalleled persecution of any man in the history of our country with a mind that disdained to confine himself to the old beaten track of religious rights and ceremonies. He burst asunder the chains which for ages past had held in bondage the nations of the earth. He soared aloft and brought to light the hidden treasures of the Almighty. He bid defiance to the superstitious dogmas and the combined wisdom of the world, laid the foundation for man’s eternal happiness, and revived the Tree of Liberty.

Is The Barbie Movie Designed to Deceive Us?


Barbie DollThe Barbie Movie presently has over 1.3 billion dollars in ticket sales, which is now online in movie theaters. Next month, a digitized version will be available on the internet with captioning assisting Satan in getting his message across the world. Three Barbie dolls are sold per second, and it is expected that with the success of the Barbie movie, those sales will significantly increase throughout this decade. Is the Barbie movie Designed to Deceive Us?

How can I make this bold statement regarding Satan’s influence on this movie, as being true? The Savior gives us the necessary and sufficient test: “Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.” (Matt. 7:20) Let us study the fruits of those involved, so that we may know if this statement is true or not. Those fruits will tell the story. In a general sense, my goal in life is to bring people to Christ and to expose Satan’s deceitful ways; ways that take people away from the Christ.

Also, in general, the movie industry in part contributes to those deceitful ways. I have spent a lot of time researching Barbie’s origin and this movie because of the enormous effect the Barbie movie is having across the globe. As you will see, my research has led me to different conclusions than most. Clearly, a person’s religious paradigm affects their view of the movie.

Creation of Barbie and the  Movie

In 1945, Ruth Handler and her husband, Elliot, were involved in setting up Mattel. Ruth is credited with inventing Barbie—sharing Barbie with the world on March 9th, 1959. But actually, she borrowed the idea from a German doll, Bild Lilli.  In a recent YouTube video, Jonathan Cahn shares the dangers of the new Barbie movie claiming it is the “Most widely anti-man movie ever made.”

Jonathan Cahn shows how Bild Lilli evolved from a Mesopotamian sex goddess, Ishtar. Satan has an advantage over us in that he can tie things together over the ages to cleverly deceive us. A better understanding of history helps us expose Satan’s deceitful ways.  Jonathan’s insights are very useful. I highly recommend you listen to his 26-minute ex·po·sé; the link is below.

In 1974, Elliot and Ruth Handler were banished from the company they had founded because an investigation found Mattel guilty of issuing false and misleading financial reports. We have integrity issues here.

Barbie has been the most successful toy Mattel has ever sold. Today, three Barbie dolls are sold per second, and sales are expected to increase significantly in the remainder of this decade because of the great success of the Barbie movie. The reviews show that the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transgender) community is happy with the Barbie movie.

Mattel, of course, continues to profit from Barbie’s multi-distinguished professions that they have made over the years: astronaut, surgeon, Olympic athlete, downhill skier, aerobics instructor, TV news reporter, vet, rock star, doctor, army officer, air force pilot, summit diplomat, rap musician, presidential candidate, baseball player, scuba diver, lifeguard, fire-fighter, engineer, dentist, and many more. These are the models set before our girls. Being a happy wife and a happy mother are never part of the picture painted.

The Barbie Movie

Greta Gerwig wrote the script for the movie with Noah Baumbach—her live-in boyfriend, who is 14 years older. Their second son was born this year. Gerwig also directed the movie. Barbie is the most financially successful female-directed movie ever made.

Born in 1983 in Sacramento, CA, Gerwig is close to her family and was raised a Unitarian Universalist, which is a liberal religious movement. They believe in a free and responsible search for truth and meaning. They have no creed, They are unified by their shared search for spiritual growth. They use no sacred texts like the Bible. They have a deep regard for intellectual freedom and inclusive love. Their congregations include atheists, agnostics, deists, and theists.

Gerwig is a gifted playwright and actress and has received many prestigious awards. She was the main actress in Baumbach’s film, Mistress America, and closed with the line, “Being a beacon of hope for lesser people is a lonely business.”

Gerwig was included in the annual Times 100 list of the most influential people in the world in 2018. Now, with the movie Barbie, she would likely be listed near the top.

Baumbach was raised in Brooklyn with a Jewish father and a Protestant mother. His parents divorced while Noah was an adolescent. He became a very successful playwright garnishing many awards. He married Jennifer Jason Leigh in 2005. In 2007 Baumbach wrote and directed the 2007 dramedy Margot at the Wedding, starring his wife. They had a son in 2010 and Jennifer divorced him the same year.

Both Gerwig and Baumbach credit Woody Allen, the comedian, as having the most influence on their careers. Woody Allen is considered a comedian genius.

Gerwig and Baumbach’s backgrounds and Hollywood lifestyles are clearly reflected in the movie Barbie. There are those who would have Barbie and Ken in their innocence like Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. I am guessing that thought never entered Greta and Noah’s minds. Biblical ethics are not part of their paradigm, but how to reach and entertain the minds of the masses. Clearly, they have been extremely successful in doing just that.

Margot Robbie’s Role as Barbie

As Margot Robbie plays the part of Barbie, she loves to show off her beautiful figure.  She declares that every night is a girl’s night. Yet, she shares—playing the part of the Barbie doll—that she and Ken have no genitals. They are not needed to have fun she implies. She waves at everyone as she drives around in her pink car.

Ruth Handler died in 2002 and is portrayed in the movie as a spirit talking to Barbie. Interestingly, Ruth’s daughter, Barbara Handler, plays the part of her mother in the movie, as Ruth’s spirit talks to Barbie. They hold hands as she helps Barbie become a human, at the end of the movie. Barbie then takes the name of Barbara Handler. Next, she says, “I want to see a gynecologist.” Why? Is this just fun Woody Allen-like humor?

A positive note is that Barbie is successful in bringing a mother and daughter back together, and a nuclear family is implied, which is great in spite of everything else in the movie to the contrary. Or is this part of a disinformation satanic strategy, covering up the pink poison, as I discuss later?

Barbie’s height (11 ½ inches) is 1/6th of her sexy human look-alike height. Her petite feminine dimensions that today’s girls view to model as they grow up are such that they would not have enough body fat to menstruate. Hence, to model themselves like Barbie means they could not be a mother. Another subtle satanic deception. In years gone by, girls became anorexic trying to mimic Barbie’s figure. Now, with the obesity epidemic because of the American diet disaster, the body fat problem has essentially disappeared.

I went to the movie because of Jonathan Cahn’s insights. I did not want to go but was also counseled by loved ones that I could not write a blog article about something that I had never seen.

In the middle of the movie, Barbie shares this clever deceitful phrase that gives you an idea about the subtle deceit. It is a key phrase: “…by giving voice to the cognitive dissonance required to be a woman under the patriarchy you robbed it of its power.” As Jonathan Cahn points out, this is not normal communication, but more like what you would find in a radical feminist handbook putting down men.

Disinformation Strategy

Johnathan Cahn’s review of the movie reminds me of the communist’s disinformation strategy. They tell you one thing that sounds good and true, but they deceive you as they do something else to help them move the communist agenda forward. This is a clever satanic trick that has worked for decades against the free world. Given the background of those writing, directing, and producing the movie, I don’t believe they feel they are using a disinformation strategy. Unfortunately, they don’t know the subtleness of Satan and his minions to accomplish their goal of destroying families and moving the feminist movement forward.

Jonathan claims that the movie vilifies and immaculates men—half of the human race. It is sugar-coated pink poison for our children to take them away from the beautifully planned and healthy family relationships designed by the Lord using clever deceitful techniques. As is done in disinformation strategy, there are good messages in the movie to sugarcoat the poison.

In Gerwig’s rendition of the movie, Little Women, she removes the very tender scene where Frederick, at the end of the movie, goes all the way to Jo March’s home to hand her her manuscript of Little Women, and lauding her for the masterpiece that it is. Gerwig replaces that tender and key scene with Jo March’s negotiation with the publisher to get the copyright— sharing her female victory.

New Lies for Old

The disinformation strategy is explained in Anatoly Golitsyn’s book, New Lies for Old, which he wrote back in the 1960s when the Cold War was in full force. He was the most significant KGB defector and tried to wake up the US intelligence. They closed their ears to him.

I had my clearance at the time and talked to one of the security guys who had met him. He said that he found his explanation of how the communists were using disinformation strategy totally credible and successful, but that Golitsyn was being ignored.

Golitsyn wrote another book after the Berlin Wall came down, the collapse of the USSR, and the “so-called” collapse of communism to explain what was really going on, in the book, Perestroika Deception. You have noticed over the years that communism has not collapsed but has subtly come into the American society in different ways to tear down America’s freedom. The global elite are the champions of this totalitarian satanic effort.

Losing Individual Sovereignty

The global elite’s totalitarian movement is designed to take away our individual sovereignty. I am sure they are happy with the Barbie movie. Also, the USSR spent massive amounts of money getting pornography in front of us along with drugs, as effective moral deterioration strategies. Guess what? Unfortunately, these techniques are working in their favor. It is wake up time as Moroni warned in Ether Chapter 8:20-26.

After the wall came down, our son Sterling and his friend Brian and I went to hear Gorbachev speak at the University of Utah on the green movement, after the so-called collapse of communism. This was their follow-up disinformation strategy step. We got front-row seats because Brian was in a wheelchair. At the end of his discourse, Gorbachev got a standing ovation, except for the three of us—knowing that the green movement is part of their disinformation strategy.

Today’s Falsehoods

Today, the green movement has morphed into false environmental issues, such as global warming and monitoring carbon dioxide emissions. Both have been proven to be false hypotheses and are about the global elite moving to take control of the world. And, reducing the world population is one of their main motives. The movie Barbie – “Have No Children”- is Hollywood’s popular presentation of this same paradigm—men are evil creatures and family and happy children are not important. The children in the movie are somber and unhappy, as they destroy their baby dolls.

I wrote a blog article, “Why Satan Hates Women.”  The Barbie movie is a clever satanic way of taking women away from their true divine role before God, which role Satan hates. The movie also feeds the Wokeism disease that is plaguing our planet. We need to stand up against Satan’s attack on Biblically ethically moral values. I am so pleased that we have a US presidential candidate, Vivek Ramaswamy, who is pro-family, pro what it means to be an American based on our founding US Constitutional principles.

Satan has been at war with the Lord’s work since the War in Heaven. Let us wake up to God’s word and His truth. We are promised that as we treasure up HIs Word, we will not be deceived. (JS-M 37)

A Good Example Movie

It is hard to find a movie portraying the Biblical ethic. The book, The Belove Bridegroom, does a tremendous and inspired job in explaining this ethic. I am privileged to know the author, Donna B. Nielsen. Her book went out of print, and I was privileged to help get it back up. It is a book everyone should read and would enjoy the inspired relevance.

The family is the most important unit in time and in eternity. God’s ideal for marriage is left out of the Barbie movie. Having husband and wife complementing each other and needing each other—being “one flesh,” are the Biblical ideals totally missing from the movie and made fun of. The movie Loving Leah is a really fun Biblically-based movie.

Another contrasting movie to the Barbie movie is The Fighting Preacher. Which is a true and amazing story documenting the 25-year mission of Willard and Rebecca Bean in Palmyra, New York.

They took care of the Joseph Smith home, which the Church had acquired. They were amazing missionaries turning a town that hated them into one that loved them.
Missionaries returning home and traveling through the area often visited the Joseph Smith home.

One of the most touching scenes is where Rebecca shares with the missionaries her experience about being visited by the Savior, as she carries her heavy duties as a mother and a missionary. The Savior gives her the sweet assurance that she will be sustained and have joy in this most important calling.

Gender and Religious Paradigms Affect Views of the Barbie Movie

I know a brilliant lady who is very intuitive, and Christ centered. She loved the movie and had Barbie and Ken in their innocence tied to the Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. A brilliant devout man I know regretted that he ever went to see it. It made him feel worse toward men’s and women’s roles. He would like to erase the Barbie movie from his mind. The Muslim near east countries have banned the Barbie movie. The French sent out an advertisement for the movie that went viral. The general immorality of the French society has brought the meaning of the name Ken in the French language to mean what men want to do to women. Clearly, the immoral world community loves the Barbie movie and go to the movie dressed in pink to show their support. The LGBT community loves it.

The Bible ethic is so beautiful for marriage being “one flesh,” body, mind, and spirit. The Lord commanded Adam and Eve to “multiply and replenish” the earth, while now the global elite would have us destroy life. The joy of husband and wife coming together to create a new life is like a sacred sacrament in the Lord’s perfect plan of happiness. True husband and wife love is unselfish—wanting to bring happiness to the other and to the family. The Barbie movie is contrary to the Biblical ethic.

In general, Satan’s disinformation strategy has moved the movies made by Hollywood to be the opposite to the Biblical ethic, and the movie Barbie is certainly no exception.

My Assessment

Are women justified with how the “patriarchy” has ruled over them over the centuries? Unfortunately, Yes! For the feminist movement to flip the coin all the way over is not the answer. Female and male equality and loving relationships, sharing, building one another up, complementing one another, needing each other to bring the fullness of joy the Lord designed is the Divine goal we should all seek for in a healthy husband and wife union.

They come together in the joy of that union and also with the hope of having children. The world opens the door to sexual freedom and doing everything they can to avoid having children. If conception occurs, then the world’s answer is abort. The Lord’s anger must be kindled greatly over the millions of babies who have been aborted.

As I mentioned, I went to the movie because of Jonathan’s exposing the deceit in the movie. I don’t recommend the movie. Don’t go unless you want to see more clearly what I am exposing of Satan’s subtle deceits. There are some good messages, but that is how Satan sugarcoats the poison. The writers, directors, and producers of the Barbie movie do not know they are using the disinformation strategy, but Satan does in his ever-subtle ways.

For me, mother and teacher are the two most important callings on the planet to bring forth love, light, and truth. The Savior was and is the Master Teacher. Outside of the Lord’s love, there is nothing more powerful in bringing about good than a mother’s love. Her love is next to God’s.

Unbeknownst to them, Hollywood is using the disinformation strategy in the movie Barbie to destroy families, to take away from healthy husband-wife relationships, to promote abortions as being okay, the transsexual agenda, and other distorted sexual behaviors contrary to Biblical ethics. And, it is obvious that the world loves it.

Most modern movies and now with internet streaming services are influenced by this disinformation strategy. Satan is having a ‘hay day,’ as most of them are designed to take people away from Christ. My hope here is to help people wake up to Satan’s subtleness and to assure all that we can “look to God and Live” (Alma 37:47) the abundant life Jesus promised. (John 10:10)

A family that serves one another and others in unselfish-loving ways is the happiest. This primary message is totally missing from the Barbie movie, as this Warner Brothers “fun” entertainment now circles the globe deceiving the masses.

ESP Reality & Dr. Korotkov

You are a being of LIGHT. Your aura radiates light from your being over a large range of frequencies. Your Creator gave you a spirit body to go with your intelligence, and your earthly parents gave you a physical body to complete this marvelous creation that is you.

ESP

ESP is extrasensory perception, also known as the sixth sense. It involves an awareness of perception or communication outside of the normal sensory capability. Because, your aura radiates light from your being over a large range of frequencies, you are in touch with the universe. And so, your Creator gave you a spirit body to go with your intelligence, and your earthly parents gave you a physical body to complete this marvelous creation that is you. The Creator created you to be a creator to let your light shine–reflecting His LIGHT.

Back in 1999-2005, we were doing Unified Field Theory (UFT) experiments in my home laboratory and at BYU. We showed that this sixth sense is part of a fifth dimension and is independent of space and time. We shared how ESP works as part of your light. Your umbilical cord prayer channel to your Heavenly Parents is an extremely important use of your light to communicate with God. The above is discussed in much more detail in chapters 21-22 of my book, It’s About Time—along with experimental validation. In our UFT research, ESP and prayer are not limited by the speed of light. They are instantaneous!

Dr. Konstantin Korotkov

In 1982—during the Cold War—Dr. Konstantin Korotkov, a Scientist, was authorized by the USSR to set up a research laboratory with unlimited funding to develop ESP to communicate between a submarine and a satellite. And, they made it work. At the same time, we (the USA) were doing secret research on ESP and remote viewing at the Laurence Livermore Laboratory.

Over his forty years of research, Dr. Korotkov has become the world leader in the science of how we are beings of light. If he wants to talk to someone, he uses ESP to ask them to call him. In other words, ESP is a working reality for him. He has scientific experimentation to show ESP works.

Dr. Korotkov has nine books available on Amazon and has made several YouTube videos describing his work. His research work lines up remarkably well with our UFT research. I have more details of our research on our other website www.AllansTIME.com. Dr. Korotkov shows we are beings of light—body, mind, and spirit are all connected. (See YouTube Link Below) Our Creator-God made us remarkably so. Dr. Korotkov has developed instrumentation that measures a person’s light. Significant insights are gained by doing so.

Medical and Mental Implications

The incredible implications for the diagnosis and treatment of physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual conditions with applications in medicine, psychology, sound therapy, biophysics, genetics, forensic science, agriculture, ecology, etc. have only just begun.

The Electrophotonics EPC/GDV (Gas Discharge Visualization) technique is accepted by the Russian Ministry of Health as a Medical technology and certified in Europe. More than 1,000 doctors, practitioners, and researchers benefit from using this technology worldwide. More than 150 papers have been published on GDV in different countries.

Christ – The LIGHT of the World

His promise to us is that as we follow Him, we shall not walk in darkness, but have the LIGHT of life. (John 8:12) We were all born with a conscience, which is the light of Christ (John 1:9)—to know good from evil. What an incredibly important gift. The more we follow Him and His light and live His teachings the more light emanates from us.

Now we have scientific validation that we can use our light and ESP to help make the world a better place, as we reach out in love to God and to our neighbor. If our intentions are good, the results will be good, as we share our light with the world by doing the Creator’s will in our personal lives. It is faith in God in our thoughts, deeds, and actions.
As Dr. Korotkov shares, “Life is about being happy.”

We read, “Adam fell that men might be, and men are that they might have joy.” (2 Nephi 2:25) The more we share our light, the more joy we have, and in the midst of all the challenges of life. Let us be grateful for all things—including the challenges from which we can learn important lessons. (D&C 59:21) They can grow our light instead of diminishing it.

The combined intentions of a “pure in heart people” will allow the Lord to bring forth ZION—the ideal society. The Lord asked us to pray, “Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” As we use our ESP to listen to the Lord’s angels, with real intent, then the results will be glorious. (Moroni 7:25-48)

Quantum Secrets – Power of Intention

I believe you would enjoy Dr. Korotkov’s YouTube video “View Quantum Secrets – The Power of Intention”. It is an exciting insightful watch for a better understanding of his work on the spiritual aspect of our being, and it has captioning.

Why Satan Hates Women

So, why does Satan Hate Women? In an unique near-death-experience, Ralph V. Jensen asked the Savior, “Which is greater man or woman?” The Lord responded with a question, “Can a man make a baby?” Think about it. The highest form of life is human-kind.  Women are designed by our Creator with the potential to bring forth a new human-kind. The birth of a child is the most glorious of all births. All other forms of creation are inferior to a woman’s unique divine role. Satan is  against life, and he hates women because of their divine potential. This new life born by a woman may become a god or a goddess. How great is that? Satan hates this divine potential that God has given uniquely to women.

Our good friend, Ralph V. Jensen, had some unusual near-death experiences where he was taught by Christ. He wrote a book by this title, Taught by Christ. It is an awesome read. Christ showed him several significant historical events–including the Garden of Eden. It was while the Lord showed him the Garden of Eden that the above question came into Ralph’s mind. He was  shown that Eve and her daughters have this unique divine potential.

That human being—born by Eve and/or one of Eve’s daughters–has the innate potential to be like his or her Heavenly Parents. The gospel plan opens the door for that opportunity. Herein is Heavenly Father glorified, (John 15:8) and this is His “work and glory to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life…” of this new baby. (Moses 1:39) This is why Satan hates women so much. Women create new life. Satan wants to destroy life by abortions,  suicides, and in many other ways.

Last Saturday (12 August 2023), Ralph put up a video with the title, “Why does Satan hate Women so much?” In one day, it had over a thousand visits. I share the link below. I called him the next day because I knew of his awesome experience when the Lord showed him the Garden of Eden. And, I wanted to confirm again with him that the theory of organic evolution is false. Adam and Eve came into the Garden following the laws of heaven and not by following Darwin’s theory. Humankind like all the other “kinds” may evolve within that kind. But not across kinds, as the theory of evolution requires for it to be true.

Because of the great information in Ralph’s book regarding women, I felt to share some of it in the conclusion of my book, It’s About Time.  I entitled it: EXQUISITE EVE, and I share part of it in the following from pages 379-381 of my book, which I published in 2014.

Taught By Christ

Ralph V. Jensen has authored the book, Taught by Christ, about his near-death experiences. He is a humble, compassionate, and sensitive person, and my wife and I count it a great blessing to be in his circle of friends. We met him about a year ago [in 2013] on the occasion for him to share with a small group of friends some of the incredible details of teachings he received from the Savior in his NDEs.

Ralph is very much like me. He loves to take things apart to see how they work, and sometimes like me, when the thing is put back together there are parts left over! But you learn a lot in the process. Also, like me, he is very inquisitive–desiring to learn all he can in any given experience. So, when he went across the veil with the Savior by his side showing him the things of great historical significance, his mind was racing with questions, and they got answered.

The Lord knows the thoughts of our hearts and has all the answers! So, what an awesome experience he had, even though the pain of his heart attacks was excruciating. They were so bad, the doctors attending said he should not have survived, but the Lord had other plans for Ralph; among other things, he needed to write a book and share these remarkable experiences.

Can Man Make A Baby?

One that he shared with us that first evening we met was soul-changing for me. When he was across the veil with the Savior, he was thinking who is more important, the man or the woman? The Savior responded to his thought question with a question, “Can a man make a baby?” The husband has the sacred privilege of planting the seed, but his wife has the divine nature to grow that baby within her womb and then nurture it after birth–making mother-child love the nearest to God’s love.

Consider the perfect shape of Mother Eve created by God and placed in the Garden of Eden. Is there anything more beautiful than her shape from head to toe? She is exquisite!

Genesis story of Adam and Eve

Ralph learned from Christ that the Genesis story of Adam and Eve is symbolic. They were brought to the Garden of Eden from elsewhere. He was not privileged to share the details of that process but described it as being perfectly logical and inspiring as God follows the laws of heaven in bringing about this great event. Ralph saw that when Eve (the mother of all living) walked into the garden, everything was in awe and in reverence for her beauty and her role as the mother of all living. Is there a more important calling than being the “mother of all living!”

All the animals, the birds, the beautiful flowers there, all the plant life, and even the Earth itself paused in silent reverence because of her beauty and who she represented. It is the woman who has within her divine makeup the ability to give birth to a potential god and goddess. Ralph’s sharing of what he witnessed lifted my view of mothers to see them more nearly as God sees them. Women are the primary helpers for Him to bring about celestial beings in His perfect plan of happiness.

Eve’s Functional Role

Since Ralph shared this glorious perspective, I have looked at the fairer gender with much more nearly celestial eyes. The female beauty and divine design inspire my heart at a new level. Her role is fundamental to God’s work to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of families that can be together forever with Him. The birth of a baby brings Him additional joy to add to His fullness, which He wants to share with us.

So, the perfect plan of happiness works so that we can be like our Heavenly Parents as we come unto Christ, who is the way, the truth, and the LIFE! Ever since Satan realized it was he, not Eve, who was deceived in the Garden, he has been trying to denigrate her daughters. Let us help the Lord preserve their virtue, loveliness, and sacred role.

The Influence of Mother

President Nathan Eldon Tanner — after whom our youngest son is named — said the following in the October 1973 General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints: A mother has a far greater influence on her children than anyone else, and she must realize that every word she speaks, every act, every response, her attitude, even her appearance and manner of dress affect the lives of her children and the whole family. It is while the child is in the home that he gains from his mother the attitudes, hopes, and beliefs that will determine the kind of life he will live, and the contribution he will make to society.

To feel a mother’s love is one of the most beautiful experiences of life. It is the closest to God’s love. How blessed I am to have a wonderful wife and mother of our children. The love of both my father and mother have had a great impact for good on my life.

Organic Evolution

Essentially all universities teach organic evolution. I was greatly bothered by a report I recently read about what is happening at BYU, which is my alma mater. Because the world believes in evolution, which has been proven false (Chapter 6 of my book, IT’S ABOUT TIME), why should BYU go along with the world? That is Satan’s path. After reading this report, I felt to call my good friend Ralph V. Jensen, who was shown the details of the creation of Adam and Eve in the Garden. His video entitled: Why Satan Hates Women, can be viewed on YouTube.

In my search for truth, if God says it, then I know it is true. A theory or hypothesis cannot be proven true; we don’t know enough. Only God knows enough. But if we have reliable data then a theory or hypothesis can be proven false. This is a very powerful tool—allowing us to move away from falsehood and toward TRUTH and LIGHT. Even to our Savior, which is what I believe BYU should do. I know of those who have graduated from BYU not believing in God because of the curriculum taught there. The faculty is much more secular than when I graduated in 1960. Unfortunately, this trend is common across most universities, as Satan brings in his false teachings, which includes organic evolution.

For BYU to teach this false theory of evolution appears to be about money and getting grants and publishing papers. IT MAKES ME SAD.

The Truth Shall Set You Free

The Savior said, “Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:32) And, If the Son, therefore, shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” (John 8:36) “I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” (John 8Z;12) If there is no Adam and Eve and the fall, then there is no need for an atonement to overcome the effects of the fall. Hence, organic evolution is anti-Christ. Let us help elevate women to their beautiful status as co-creators with God, and help stop Satan’s hate tactics against women in the malicious way he is doing now.

Solutions for American Diet Disaster

The American diet is a disaster and has literally killed millions unnecessarily. Over the last several decades, the traditional American diet has correlated with the increase in most chronic diseases. These include heart disease, hypertension, stroke, cancer, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, autoimmune disorders, obesity, and many others as well.

Can You Avoid These Diseases?

Correlation doesn’t provide validation as to the cause of these diseases. However, the data are convincing. If we ask the more important question, are there groups of people that avoid these diseases, the answer is EXCITEDLY, YES! And, we can learn great lessons from them on how to avoid any and all of these chronic diseases. There are exciting solutions to turn this dietary disaster around.

The Lord warned us of this “diet disaster,” so it is important that we pay heed to His word. “Behold, verily, thus saith the Lord unto you: In consequence of evils and designs which do and will exist in the hearts of conspiring men in the last days, I have warned you, and forewarn you, by giving unto you this word of wisdom by revelation.” (D&C 89:4; bolding is mine.)

Conspiring Men

If we list the “conspiring men in the last days,” our list, surprisingly and probably, would include in part the following: the industrial food processing system, the FDA, the CDC, the WHO, the AMA, the pharmaceutical industry, the media, and certainly the global elite.

You are your Best Doctor

Everyone’s genetics are different. The best doctor is yourself; listening to your own body’s needs is fundamental. Hence, the suggested guidelines shared below are general.
Many of my own personal health solutions have come in answer to prayer and with priesthood blessings. At the same time, I am extremely grateful for the incredible progress made in medical and dental technologies. I have been blessed by these on several occasions and by the skill of those using them.

Word of Wisdom

Given that the Lord knew these evils and designs were coming, He then outlined what we should eat and what we should not ingest in this revelation given in 1833 (Doctrine & Covenants Section 89). It is known as the “Word of Wisdom:” It has this great promise:

And all saints who remember to keep and do these sayings, walking in obedience to the commandments, shall receive health in their navel and marrow to their bones; And shall find wisdom and great treasures of knowledge, even hidden treasures; And shall run and not be weary, and shall walk and not faint. And I, the Lord, give unto them a promise, that the destroying angel shall pass by them, as the children of Israel, and not slay them. Amen. (D&C 89:18-21)

The Schauermann Family Story

Our oldest daughter, Shelli, told us the fascinating story of Chris and Shary Schauermann. Chris was told by his best friend, “Man, you don’t want to marry her, she is sick all the time.” They got married anyway, and her doctor told her that because of her poor health, she should not have children; she wouldn’t be able to carry them full term. Given this advice, they decided that maybe they could adopt.

In college, Shary decided to do something about her poor health. She got hold of LeLord Kordell’s book, “Eat Right, Live Longer”. Then a friend gave her the book by Adelle Davis, “Let’s Have Healthy Children”. I have not read these books, so I cannot evaluate them for general consumption. They obviously helped Shary.

The Trusted in the Lord

Being devout Christians, Shary and Chris took it to the next step—trusting in the Lord:

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. This will bring health to your body, and nourishment to your bones. (Prov. 3:5-8 (KJV and NIV))

Thirteen healthy children and forty healthy grandchildren later, they have written their remarkable story in the book, God’s Guide to Biblical Health And Healing.

Dr. Price’s Insights on Physical Degeneration

Then we have Weston A. Price’s monumental book, Nutrition and Physical Degeneration. His research in the 1930s showed why we are seeing “physical degeneration” in the world community. Most importantly he shares what we can do about it. He documents in his encyclopedic book several groups around the world, who didn’t have physical degeneration. They all avoided the great American diet. He writes in his book, “THE PRIMITIVES HAD IT RIGHT.” They raised their own food and/or harvested it from nature and from God’s creations.

And he shares, “The faith of the primitive in the all-pervading power of which he is a part includes a belief in immortality. He lives in communion with the great unseen Spirit of which he is a part, always in humility and reverence.” I share a summary of the excellent dietary guidelines from Dr. Price’s book in Chapter 5 of my book, Time & Eternity; the End-Times & Beyond Revealed. I call it the “Gospel of the Good Earth!”

I will share some of these dietary guidelines later and give suggestions from the above revelation and from these books. Weston Price’s work was so significant that in 1999 the Weston Price Foundation was set up based on his findings. This foundation has a periodical, which we take, Wise Traditions in Food, Farming, and the Healing Arts. I have learned a lot from them, and some of my past blog articles reflect their wisdom. In addition, this blog article has important insights from them as well.

In the 2023 summer edition of Wise Traditions, there are two excellent articles with great information relative to this blog article: “OMEGA-6 APOCALYPSE” by Dr. Chris Knobbe. He explains the dangers of industrial seed oils that are used in preparing most of our processed foods. Then Joan McGovern Tendler has an in-depth article on “WHY WE NEED A HIGH-LYSINE DIET.” In this article, she also explains the problems with arginine. She has a website with a lot of really good information. 

Money Making – Food Business

Over the last century and continuing until now, the industrial food business has evolved into what makes money rather than what is for our health. As “conspiring men” have done and are doing to us, they say their products are healthy. But, in fact they have literally killed millions of Americans, as mentioned before, over the several decades of the evolution of the industrial food business. Now, essentially all processed foods are bad for you. Americans on average are among one of the unhealthiest groups in the world. Recently the mortality rate in America turned down to a negative slope—people are dying at a younger age.

Let Food Be thy Medicine

We have this famous statement from Hippocrates, “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” Then this needs to be “pure unrefined” food, and not following the typical American diet, which is a slow poison killing people way before what could be their vital and happy time on earth. Table sugar is historically a fairly recent food, and Americans are basically addicted to sugar in their food. I reduced by sugar intake some years ago and got my eyesight back!

Toxic Environment as Well as Toxic Food

In addition to the toxic traditional American diet, we live in a toxic environment. I share some of the details of this toxicity in a blog article.  Fortunately, I also share solutions in the article for dealing with our toxic environment, which we all live in. I highly recommend you read the article. 

As I ride my bicycle down to the post nearly every day, I can smell the toxins from the sprays that people are using; such as RoundUp, Weedon, and several others. These are typical chemical approaches for people to deal with insects and weeds. But to us, they are also toxic. Glyphosate in RoundUp is a known serious toxin.

Destructive Linoleic Acid

Dr. Joseph Mercola says, “Linoleic acid—the most destructive ingredient in your diet.” 1% to 2% of linoleic (LA) is needful. The problem is the American diet is at about 25%. I am not a biologist, and neither is Dr. Mercola. I believe all fatty acids have a place in nature—including linoleic acid. But his point is that we have seen about a twenty-fold increase over the last century. The enormous increase in the use of polyunsaturated seed-oil fats used in processed food preparation is a major problem.

This may be one of the main drivers making Americans among the unhealthiest in the world. I am glad I chose physics for my career path; organic chemistry and biology are incredibly complicated. Just getting one’s head around the twenty amino acids essential for human life—nine of which have to be ingested—is a massive set of information.

The following oils are high in LA: safflower, grape seed, poppyseed, sunflower, hemp, corn, wheat germ, cottonseed, soybean, walnut, sesame, pistachio, canola, and peanut oils. Furthermore, the problem is exacerbated because of the pressures and temperatures in which the oils are processed. Much of the food sold in America is processed using some of these polyunsaturated fats. When they are consumed, they create serious oxidative stress problems in the body. Essentially all processed foods use one or more of these oils and most restaurants do the same—making Americans sicker and fatter. Commercial processed chicken is one of the highest in linoleic acid in the American diet.

The life-time of linoleic acid is about three years. This means that if you cut-out the high usage of them from your diet now, it would take about six years to cleanse 95% of them from your bodies fat storage. As mentioned, 1 to 2 % is needful. The American diet is at about 25%, which is one of the main killers of the American people. Essentially all the killing diseases are exacerbated by the oxidative stress that high levels of linoleic acid cause in the traditional American diet.

Grow Your Own Food

There is value in growing your own food, or buying organic, or meats from animals grown without growth hormones or anti-biotics and being grass feed. Growth hormones are used to make more money and are contrary to your good health.

Chickens and their eggs that are free-range should be your choice. The good fats make you healthier and leaner, which include butter, ghee, coconut oil, cocoa butter, and macadamia nut oil. They have 3% or less linoleic acid.

The “Word of Wisdom” revelation shares to eat foods in their natural state (not processed) and preferable in the “season thereof” and “sparingly.” Don’t be gluttonous! Thomas Jefferson believed, “one should always rise from the table just a little bit hungry.”

Biblical Guidelines

When people meet Shary Schauermann, they are shocked to learn that she is the mother of 13 children. Girls far younger cannot keep up with her, and she has this radiant glow about her. The Schauermann’s diet derived from Biblical guidelines—with a few of my own comments—includes red meat (preferably grass-fed), milk (preferably whole milk and goat milk is better than cow’s milk), salt, drinking enough good water (about eight glasses per day for the average aduilt) for the body chemistry to work right, eggs from free-range chickens, and butter (made from the milk from grass-fed cows).

Then Chris Schauermann adds this warning from the Bible “And… if you can’t stop eating refined foods, especially sugar, you might as well cut your own throat with a knife. Hey, those aren’t my words, God was the one who said that. I think the knife thing is God’s way of getting our attention.”

Proverbs 23:1-3 (NIV) When you sit to dine with a ruler, note well what is before you, and put a knife to your throat if you are given to gluttony. Do not crave his delicacies for that food is deceptive. Daniel chose, “to abstain from those kinds of food which came from the king’s table.” God gave him “knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dream…”(Daniel 1:17-20, – D&C 89:18-21)

Use Wisdom in Your Health Choices

Dr. Mercola’s video seems consistent with the OMEGA-6 APOCLYPSE article by Dr. Chris Knobbe. You can watch his video at this link: Linoleic Acid – The Most Destructive Ingredient in Your Diet. Since neither of them are biologist, you can look at their information from their perspective, but then use your common sense and wisdom given from God regarding your own health needs. The Word of Wisdom revealed by the Lord is my general guideline and has helped me greatly throughout my life.

Dr. Knobbe’s story is an interesting one as an ophthalmologist. During his investigations into the OMEGA-6 APOCALYPSE, he identified a few populations across the globe eating traditional diets—like Dr. Price had found. Their diets had not been contaminated with American unhealthy dietary ways. And, happily, he found in his own profession, those whose macular degeneration was reversed “by switching to an ancestral diet.”

High-Lysine Diet

In this same issue, as mentioned before, is Joan McGovern Tendler’s in-depth article on “WHY WE NEED A HIGH-LYSINE DIET.” Joan points out that the lack of adequate lysine in our diet can lead to many disease problems. She lists some of the possible problems that can arise with inadequate lysine in the diet: candida, inflammation, colds or allergies, shingles, cold sores, calcium or iron deficiency, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, hair loss, anxiety, depression, low energy, or poor short-term memory. She says, “A diet that is low in the amino acid lysine and high in the amino acid arginine can lead to all these problems—and more.”

Good sources of lysine are red meat, fish, eggs, tofu, legumes, and then I suggest adding a one-gram daily supplement of lysine. Interestingly, back in the 1970s, she points out that Linus Pauling found that six grams of lysine and eighteen grams of vitamin C “gave relief from angina.” (See FOOTNOTE) She further points out that lysine is one of two amino acids turning into ketones—complementing a ketogenic diet.

Ketogenic Diet

I am not suggesting a ketogenic diet, but based on the excellent research work of Dr. Benjamin Bikman at BYU. I measure my ketones regularly. It is easy to do; you just breathe into a ketometer, which you can easily buy online. Then I regularly measure my nitric oxide (NO) level in my saliva using test strips that I get from HumanN.com:  I have found that if my NO level and ketones are high, my angina is low. I had a heart attack caused by stress in 2016. I have had some problems with angina since. Thanks to what the Lord has taught me, I can now keep the angina under control.

Take Control of Your Health

Again, be your own doctor and nutritionist, and as Dr. Mercola says, “Take control of your health.” As you listen to your body, mind, and spirit, I promise you God will guide you in a healing direction. God designed our bodies to heal. Let wisdom prevail; the Lord gave us the “Word of Wisdom” revelation to this end.

The Glorious Resurrection Diminished

Over time the role of the glorious resurrection has been diminished or made less important than the crucifixion in the minds and hearts of most Christians. This should not be. Satan has successfully diminished the great importance of the infinite atonement, which was cap-stoned by the resurrection.

Today most Christians look to Jesus and His suffering on the cross to cover their sins for their path to salvation. The glorious resurrection of our Lord and of all Heavenly Father’s children is mainly left out in their deliberations toward salvation. And, the glorious resurrection of the saints back then is hardly mentioned. In the Bible, it also takes a lesser role. Matt.27:52-53. The resurrection of the saints back then is like “by the way this also happened.”

Bible Emphasis on the Resurrection

The Bible does not emphasize how the Christians back then went from the depths of despair to the heights of ecstasy with the resurrection of our Lord and of the many who “went into the holy city and appeared unto many.” We can only imagine the joy they felt in their souls when this happened.

The resurrection of our Savior and of the saints exploded the Christian movement at that time. Modern Christianity misses the excitement the early Christians felt, and which we should still feel. Apocryphal literature gives us a much better feel for these glorious events.

Early Christians Rejoiced

There is a need to be like the early Christians and be enthralled with the glorious resurrection. The Savior told the early saints that He would be crucified and rise again. But they didn’t want to believe this horrible prediction from Him that He would be crucified. Being under the cruel Roman rule, they hoped He would “restore again the kingdom to Israel?” (Acts 1:6)

We can only imagine the incredible trauma the saints went through while Christ was suffering for the sins of all humankind. Then when He was resurrected three days later, this trauma turned to exceeding great joy. In addition, the details of the joy they felt when, “the graves were opened, and many bodies of the saints which slept arose. They came out of the graves after his resurrection and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many,” (Matt. 27:52-53) Unfortunately, important details have been left out of the Bible record. Apocryphal literature gives us much greater insights.

The Atoning Sacrifice

In the LDS scriptures, the “Atoning Sacrifice” is only mentioned once. In our LDS scriptures, we discover that there are seven critical steps to the Infinite Atonement of our Lord and Savior.  The atoning sacrifice is only one of them. All seven of them are critical to the infinite atonement. Yet, in my church we often hear in testimonies and in sermons people express their gratitude for the atoning sacrifice, when they should be expressing their gratitude for the infinite atonement, if they better understood. President Russell M. Nelson mentions the “infinite atonement” in his testimony.

Modern Christians have a similar problem in their worship looking to the cross and not to the infinite atonement. We mortals cannot comprehend the glorious dimensions of the infinite atonement, but the more we do the closer we come to knowing our infinitely loving God.

The Resurrection Miracle

Given that the glorious resurrection of our Lord and Savior is the best-documented miracle in recorded history, why is it “left out” in the thinking of the millennials, of the wokeness people, of the atheists, and of the agnostics? Intellectual integrity should bring them to this most glorious documented miracle. The glorious resurrection is the capstone to the infinite atonement, which is the most important miracle in history.

The Resurrection Brings us into God’s Presence

The Book of Mormon makes it perfectly clear that it is Christ’s resurrection that brings us back into God’s presence. (2 Nephi 9:22; Alma 42:23) Without His resurrection, we “are just toast!” The same message is in the Bible but is more obscure. (1 Corinthians 15:13-44)

With His infinite atonement, Christ overcame death and hell. Our gratitude for our anticipated glorious resurrected bodies should penetrate to the depths of our souls, if we truly understood.

Without Resurrection Fullness Not Possible

Let us join with the early saints with the deepest feelings of gratitude to our infinitely loving Heavenly Father, who gave us His Beloved Son to provide that path for a fullness of joy, as He overcame death and hell. A glorious resurrected body is a crowning jewel in our mind’s eye as we contemplate His perfect Plan of Happiness.

Wokeism and the Book of Mormon Cure

Wokism Wokeism is the promotion of the ideology that someone is “informed, educated, and conscious of social injustice and racial inequality”.  It sounds good, however, it has deep roots in relativism, which is there is no absolute standard of truth or values.

The very moral principles that this country was founded on are under attack. For instance, traditional values such as patriotism and religious faith are being assaulted.

The global elite are using Wokeism to defeat the cause of ZION and to stop the Lord’s work. The global elite are using magician-like tactics to entertain and to make the world believe they are doing something good, when in fact it is not only deceitful but horrendously bad.

The Book of Mormon has the cure for how to avoid this massive defeatism being perpetrated on the world’s populous.

Book of Mormon Evidence Conference

On September 15 – 16, I will be speaking at the Book of Mormon Evidence Conference in Salt Lake City on the topic of “Wokeism and the Book of Mormon Cure”. I will be outlining the New World Order’s deceitful ways. More importantly the cures for how to overcome this malicious attack on the world community.

Presidential Candidate

Vivek Ramaswamy is running for President of the United States and has written an excellent book, WOKE, INC. Inside Corporate America Social Justice Scam. He exposes how corporate America has this hidden “nefarious” plan. In their magician-like tactics, they pretend they are doing something good, when, in fact, they are doing something horrendously bad by using wokeism to destroy our American identity.

Vivek shares:
“Woke culture posits a new theory of who you are as a person, one that reduces you to the characteristics you inherit at birth and denies your status as a free agent in the world.
[Clearly, this is Satan’s plan.] And it deploys powerful corporations to propagate this new theory with the full force of modern capitalism behind it.

Ramaswamy says, “The true solution is to rebuild a vision for a shared American identity that is so deep and so powerful that it dilutes wokeism to irrelevance, one that no longer leaves us susceptible to being divided by corporate elites for their own gain.” Vivek’s solution is very good. I have written an article sharing his great insights and solutions. I will be sharing some of his awareness in my address in September.

You can read more of Vivek Ramaswamy’s views in this blog article: 

Profoundly, the Book of Mormon adds a powerful spiritual dimension to the cure for wokeism. The Prophet Moroni saw our day more clearly than any other prophet, and his insights are paramount.

David W. Allan

P.S. The Firm Foundation Seminar (Book of Mormon Conference) will be held on September 15th and 16th 2023 at the Hilton Hotel: 255 South West Temple St. Salt Lake City. 9 a to 8 pm each day.  I look forward to meeting you there.

The Greatest Formula In The Book of Mormon

What is the Greatest Formula in the Book of Mormon? The greatest formula? Is it possible that the following is the greatest?

“Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life.” (2 Nephi 31:20)

The Sequence of the Formula

1. Faith (to press forward with a steadfastness in Christ), hope (having a perfect brightness of hope), and charity (and a love of God and of all men).

One of the special keys to faith in Christ is: “If you shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ…” Faith in Christ takes effort, for it is a “doing.” “But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?” (James 2:20) The action involves feeling strongly about what we are doing, not a weak nibbling, but a strong, wholehearted pursuit of whatever goal the word of Christ has brought to us. And one must be constant in this pursuit of obedience, not blowing hot and cold. Enduring to the end is to be so faithful that we become like Christ himself, who sought not his own will but who carefully and exactly fulfilled his father’s will.

2. Become as our Savior.

There is no greater goal any human being could have than to become as our Savior, relishing eternal life and its work of blessing others with the powers of godhood unto all eternity. To apply this formula one must keep the great commandment: “Thou shalt love the Lord, thy God, with all thy heart, might, mind and strength, and in the name of Jesus Christ thou shalt serve him.” (D&C 59:5)

3. To love God, the Father, with all of our heart involves at least three strong feelings.

First, that we honor Him as the greatest person we know about because of his unfailing righteousness (always blessing others). Second, we should be overwhelmed with gratitude because of the multitude of blessings God has showered upon us. No matter how great our problems are, our blessings always way outweigh our problems. Thirdly, we should be grateful for his offer to share all that he is and has with us, if only we can stand that weight of glory. His commandments are the keys to qualifying to be able to accept and live with that glory.

Loving God with All our Heart, Might, Mind, and Strength

To love God with all our heart also means that our hearts are filled with His love for all of His  children and all of His creations. Mormon counsels us to, “pray unto the Father with all the energy of heart, that ye may be filled with this love, which he hath bestowed upon all who are true followers of his Son, Jesus Christ;” (Moroni 7:48)

To love God with all of our might means to use all the power and influence we have in this world to do his work of blessing others. We implement this by scanning our horizon constantly to see who we can bless and how we can bless them, even as our Father does. Then we proceed to use all the power we possess to execute those blessings we have seen are needed.

To love God with all of our mind means to treasure his truth. Our access to his truth, the real truth, is to receive the Holy Ghost, for by the power of the Holy Ghost we can know the truth of all things. To comb through our mind and carefully separate out the lies and half-truths planted there by Satan is a necessary precursor to basking in the knowledge of truth offered by our Savior.

To love God with all of our strength means to use our physical body to do God’s work of blessing others. Lending a helping hand to giving blood to bless others fulfills this opportunity. The greatest opportunity our strength affords is to beget children and to nurture and bless them in Christ.

Thus if we “press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men” we will come to that greatest of all blessings given by God, the gift of eternal life and eternal lives.

What is Apocryphal Literature?

With its definition coming from the Greek, Apocrypha means “concealed” or “hidden”. In general, apocryphal literature means “outside of the approved canon of scripture”. It is “concealed or hidden” from the accepted canon.

We see Apocrypha literature in some Bibles, but these writings are a small subset of the whole of apocryphal literature. Here are two scholarly articles describing the history of apocryphal literature.  1. Lost Gospels.  “Contrary to popular opinion, the Latter-day Saints gave a great deal of attention to apocryphal and related literature long before the current interest generated by the discoveries of this century [1900s].” 2. Apocryphal Writings

Interestingly, the apocryphal literature I have been learning from is not mentioned by these scholars and is not part of the Apocrypha found in some Bibles. In the last several months, led by the Spirit, I have learned a great deal from apocryphal literature from various sources.

As I read apocryphal literature, I like to make sure it does not contradict what the Lord has revealed with the restoration of the fullness of the gospel. What I  have found are many truths not contained in these sacred canon.

Seek the Spirit

Concerning the Apocrypha found in some Bibles, The Prophet Joseph Smith was told by the Lord, “Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you concerning the Apocrypha—There are many things contained therein that are true, and it is mostly translated correctly; There are many things contained therein that are not true, which are interpolations by the hands of men. Verily, I say unto you, that it is not needful that the Apocrypha should be translated. Therefore, whoso readeth it, let him understand, for the Spirit manifesteth truth; And whoso is enlightened by the Spirit shall obtain benefit therefrom;” (D&C 91:1-5)

The key then is to have the Spirit as one reads apocryphal literature. As Moroni got ready to bury the gold plates in 420 A.D. from which Joseph Smith miraculously translated the Book of Mormon, he gave this great counsel: (Moroni 10:3-5) “Behold, I would exhort you that when ye shall read these things, if it be wisdom in God that ye should read them, that ye would remember how merciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men, from the creation of Adam even down until the time that ye shall receive these things, and ponder it in your hearts. And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost. And by the power of the Holy Ghost, ye may know the truth of all things.”

Moroni Saw Our Day

Moroni saw our day more clearly than any other prophet.  He knew not only that the Book of Mormon would come forth, but a lot of other books and information—validating  God’s word that would come forth.  We need to learn from all that God has revealed and will yet reveal.

Living, as we do, in this digital era with computers, the world-wide-web, and now artificial intelligence (AI) is taking over the world.  Very few realize the painstaking effort to preserve sacred writings—including apocryphal literature. We tend to go to the internet with our questions instead of to God. We also hear the common modern phase, “Look to the science,” which I assure you can be very misleading.

Receiving a “Sure Witness”

Before the printing press, everything had to be copied by hand—character by character. We need to be more grateful than we are for these ancient and sacred writings. Notice, Moroni shares the very important null hypothesis test, “if these things are not true.” Then, he gives us a sure witness of the Holy Ghost in Moroni 10:3-5. The miracles associated with the printing of the Book of Mormon show God’s validation of this “marvelous work and a wonder.”

I have written ten blog articles benefitting greatly from ancient apocryphal literature that I have been privileged to study. I list them below. I pray the Lord’s Spirit be with you as you ponder, study, and pray. We are so blessed to have these sacred “concealed or hidden” writings. It is exciting to know that a lot is yet to come. Let us open our minds and hearts to receive the TRUTHs of God—confirmed by His Holy Spirit.

1. Importance of Missing Scripture
2.  Sacred Bethel, Bethany, Bethlehem
3. How  Close is the World of Spirits
4.  The Full Infinite Atonement
5.  The Infinite Atonement and Paradise
6. Burrows Cave Artifacts Authenticity
7. Two Hundred Names for Jesus
8. The Gospel Before The Four Gospels
9. Don’t Pass Up History Study
10. Jesus’  Planned Miracle Triggered The Crucifixion

I hope you rejoice with me in the exciting and inspiring insights one can gain from ancient apocryphal literature.  May it draw us ever closer to our infinitely loving God. The Lord says that He speaks to all nations and tongues to teach His word.  And, to help them to come to know Him. (Alma 29:8)  I have found many TRUTHs in apocryphal literature to help us to come to know Him. To know Him is eternal life–the greatest of all the gifts of God. (John 17:3; D&C 14:7)
