Whom Can We Trust?

Spirituality, , , , ,

We live in the information age and artificial intelligence (AI). AI seems to be taking over the world. For instance, they have now made robots with an IQ of 1,500. However, robots have no conscience. The global elite want to take over our free will and take control of us. Then “Whom can we trust?”

I have blog articles related to this question: 1. In Whom Do You Trust? 
2. Trust in the Lord: King James Bible. 3. The Glory of God is Intelligence. 4. Revelation Needed to Thrive. 5. A very important article: Artificial Intelligence (AL) is Destroying Liberty. “As for me and my house, we will [trust in and] serve the Lord.” (Joshua 24:15) And, we will not trust in the “arm of flesh.” (2 Nephi 4:24; 2nd Nephi 28:31; D&C 1:10)

Our Intelligence is Co-Eternal with God

Most don’t know that our intelligence is co-eternal with God’s (D&C 93:29).  Individual sovereignty is an eternal God-given gift. How we use our intelligence makes all the difference in our eternal destiny. Our infinitely loving God is perfectly just and perfectly merciful and honors the desires of our hearts. In our premortal epoch, our infinitely loving Heavenly Parents gave us a spirit body for our intelligence. As the Apostle Paul declared on Mar’s Hill, “We are the offspring of God.” (Acts 17:28-29) In that birthing process our intelligence coupled to our spirit mind.

Then, our earthly parents gave us our physical body. Our intelligence and spirit mind were downloaded into our brain at our birth. In Divine design, our intelligence and our mind are capable of coupling into the Eternity-Domain, if we chose to use our intelligence to do so. The Eternity-Domain is not limited by time and space, as we are here in mortality. This is where God and His angels do their work of helping to bring the pass the immorality and eternal life of each of us as we chose to follow our Savior Jesus the Christ. (Moses 1:39) He is the way and the truth and the life and no one comes unto the Father except by Him (John 14:6). But He always respects our intelligence and right to chose–our agency. (D&C 93:29-34) Those who chose to not follow the light of Christ will find themselves under “condemnation.”

How to not be Deceived.

My joke about the internet is that if you are careful, you can find some truths there. We have the Lord’s extremely important promise: “And whoso treasureth up my word, shall not be deceived, for the Son of Man shall come, and he shall send his angels before him with the great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together the remainder of his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.” (JS-M 37) The Lord shares that in the mouth of two or three witnesses is His word established (2 Corinthians 13:1). This important statement is repeated two more times in the JS New Testament: (JS Matt. 24:31 and JS Mark 13:26).

The Book of Mormon

The Book of Mormon is the only book that we know of that has been translated by the “gift and power of God.” This we know because God’s voice spoke this to the three witnesses: Oliver Cowdery, David Whitmer, and Martin Harris. When the Lord asks us to treasure “up my word,” Christ is the Word, and His words are truth. (John 1:1) The Holy Ghost speaks the words of Christ (2 Nephi 32:2-5). “And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things.” (Moroni 10:5) This scripture is an incredibly important promise the Lord has given us through the Prophet Moroni.

We have no Accurate Bible Translation.

The some 450 translations of the Bible into English have the bias of the translators and the transcribers. The same is true for the Bible in all other languages. I have a chapter in my new book, My Revelations, discussing serious omissions and distortions in the King James Version of the Bible, which many believe is our best English translation. Clearly, personal revelation is vital in our path to a fullness of joy and Eternal life.

Search These Things

Jesus told the Nephites, “And now, behold, I say unto you, that ye ought to search these things. Yea, a commandment I give unto you that ye search these things diligently; for great are the words of Isaiah. For surely he spake as touching all things concerning my people which are of the house of Israel; therefore it must needs be that he must speak also to the Gentiles.  And all things that he spake have been and shall be, even according to the words which he spake.” (3 Nephi 23:1-3)

Years ago, I had a life-changing event because of this scripture. The Spirit whispered to me to “search these things.” Avraham Gileadi’s book, “The Apocalyptic Book of Isaiah”, had just been published (1982), and it was a Godsend for me to better understand this pivotal book, which the Lord has asked us “to search.”

Avraham’s conversion story is most inspiring. After spending five years in Israel, he encountered the Book of Mormon. That changed his life and he joined the Church. He has become he world’s best expert on the Book of Isaiah. The late Hugh Nibley said of him, “Dr. Gileadi has done the work from which all of us have shied for too long. Because of the great mass and charge of this largest book in the Bible, the formidable difficulty of its Hebrew, and the seemingly involved, repetitious and often perplexing nature of its material, no one  has had the heart to attack the whole boo thoroughly. The author has met the challenge head-on, and after years of determined exertion is now so thoroughly familiar with the book that he can set before us in straightforward, uncomplicated form a clear exposition of what is is all about.”

Avraham has said that the Book of Mormon is the best commentary on the Book of Isaiah. I am so glad to have him as a personal friend. We have copies of our books. He has written several, and I think I have most of them.

As I have shared in my book, “My Revelations“, Chapter 19 is about “Messiah ben Joseph and Messiah ben David.” I am extremely grateful that Dr. Gileadi permitted me to publish his work on the Book of Isaiah about the “Lord’s latter-day Servant.” It is so incredibly relevant to the Second Coming of our Lord. One can get his books from www.IsaiahInstitute.com.His contributions to sacred literature are enormous.

The Annotated Book of Isaiah

In regard to the Book of Isaiah, David Hocking has also published “The Annotated Edition of THE BOOK OF ISAIAH”. David Hocking had Dr. Gileadi review his book and received Avraham’s approval. Also, David’s Annotated Edition of THE FIVE BOOKS OF MOSES, the JOSEPH SMITH TRANSLATION is another great contribution to helping us have God’s word through the inspiration of a modern prophet, Joseph Smith, Jr.  David Hocking has seven annotated editions of sacred scriptures. They are sold by BookofMormonEvidence.org, by my publisher digitalegend.com and on David’s website: THE ANNOTATED SCRIPTUAL BOOKS | BeaconLight Books LLC.

Gethsemane

The Savior suffered more in Gethsemane than He did from the horrible humiliation and beyond human comprehension His treatment from the Jews and the Romans. As I did the research on the SCIENCE AND THE SHROUD OF TURIN MIRACLE, for my blog article I was again brought to tears.

I was invited by the Israelis to help them with their official atomic clock timekeeping system. We made four trips to Israel for that work. The first thing I did when we went there in 1987 was to go the Garden of Gethsemane. I learned that the word “Gethsemane” is of Hebrew origin, derived from the phrase גַּת שְׁמָנִי (Gat Shemani), which means “oil press” or “press of oil.”

גַּת (gat) means “press,” typically referring to a place where olives are crushed to extract oil.
שְׁמָנִי (shemani) means “oil” or “oily.” How apropos is this name for where the Savior completed the first step in His infinite atonement.

Gethsemane is located at the foot of the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, where Jesus prayed and experienced suffering so great for the sins of all of Father’s children that he sweated great drops of blood. The name symbolically evokes the process of pressing or crushing, which parallels the emotional and spiritual anguish Jesus went through that Wednesday night just before he was crucified.

Every time I listen to Reese Oliveira sing “Gethsemane“, it makes me weep as I think about what Jesus went through there three times, alone bleeding from every pore for my sins and for all the sins of all of Heavenly Father’s children: “He that ascended up on high, as also he descended below all things, in that he comprehended all things, that he might be in all and through all things, the light of truth;” (D&C 88:6) The infinite atonement took Him from the deepest depths of despair to the greatest heights of ecstasy with His glorious resurrection, which is the capstone to the infinite atonement.

His Church

After the Lord established His church again on the earth on the 6th of April 1830, the Lord later declared that he had given Joseph Smith the: “…power to lay the foundation of this church, and to bring it forth out of obscurity and out of darkness, the only true and living church upon the face of the whole earth, with which I, the Lord, am well pleased, speaking unto the church collectively and not individually—”

But, then the Lord said less than a year later, “And whoso receiveth not my voice is not acquainted with my voice, and is not of me. And by this you may know the righteous from the wicked, and that the whole world groaneth under sin and darkness even now. And your minds in times past have been darkened because of unbelief, and because you have treated lightly the things you have received—Which vanity and unbelief have brought the whole church under condemnation. And this condemnation resteth upon the children of Zion, even all. And they shall remain under this condemnation until they repent and remember the new covenant, even the Book of Mormon and the former commandments which I have given them, not only to say, but to do according to that which I have written—” (D&C 84:52-57)

Satin’s Last Hour

Satan, knowing it is his last hour, is doing everything he can to stop the work of God. Moroni clearly saw our serious problems in the last days and gave us significant warning about the “secret combinations” that would be amongst us (Ether 8:22-260). 

Secret combinations have infiltrated all nations and churches. “Behold, I speak unto you as if ye were present, and yet ye are not. But behold, Jesus Christ hath shown you unto me, and I know your doing. 

And I know that ye do walk in the pride of your hearts; and there are none save a few only who do not lift themselves up in the pride of their hearts, unto the wearing of very fine apparel, unto envying, and strifes, and malice, and persecutions, and all manner of iniquities; and your churches, yea, even every one, have become polluted because of the pride of your hearts. For behold, ye do love money, and your substance, and your fine apparel, and the adorning of your churches, more than ye love the poor and the needy, the sick and the afflicted.”

“O ye pollutions, ye hypocrites, ye teachers, who sell yourselves for that which will canker, why have ye polluted the holy church of God? Why are ye ashamed to take upon you the name of Christ? Why do ye not think that greater is the value of an endless happiness than that misery which never dies—because of the praise of the world? Why do ye adorn yourselves with that which hath no life, and yet suffer the hungry, and the needy, and the naked, and the sick and the afflicted to pass by you, and notice them not?” 

“Yea, why do ye build up your secret abominations to get gain, and cause that widows should mourn before the Lord, and also orphans to mourn before the Lord, and also the blood of their fathers and their husbands to cry unto the Lord from the ground, for vengeance upon your heads? Behold, the sword of vengeance hangeth over you, and the time soon cometh that he avengeth the blood of the saints upon you, for he will not suffer their cries any longer.” (Mormon 8:35-41”)

The Solution

“Listen to the voice of Jesus Christ, your Redeemer, the Great I AM, whose arm of mercy hath atoned for your sins; Who will gather his people even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, even as many as will hearken to my voice and humble themselves before me, and call upon me in mighty prayer.” (D&C 29:1-2) 

“Look to God and live” the abundant life He has promised. (Alma 37:47; John 10:10)

What is Eternal Life?

Spirituality, , ,

FreepikEternal Life is the greatest of all the gifts of God. Jesus in prayer, “As thou hast given [Me] power over all flesh, that [I] should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given [Me].  And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” (John 17:2, 3)

But how do we comprehend the incomprehensible? Thanks to the beautiful truths of the restoration of the fullness of the gospel, we gain great and inspiring understandings of Eternal Life. In this scripture, the Apostle John gives us a beautiful definition of “Eternal Life.” It is to know God and His Beloved Son. The implications of that knowledge are enormous. Jesus has asked us to be perfect like He and the Father are perfect. (3 Nephi 12:48) We learn from the restoration that Eternal Life is not only life with God but growing into perfection to be like God. We have the great promise: “He that keepeth his commandments receiveth truth and light until he is glorified in truth and knoweth all things” (D&C 93:28)

Why Are We Here?

When Vinney Tolman passed the veil of death, he was taught the “Purpose of Life” by his great-great-grandfather Drake. He asked Vinney, “Why are we here?” referring to our mortal journey. Vinney shared his perspective, “I was taught Christian values and principles I should live by— that life was a test to see what kind of soul we have.” Drake responded, “Your mortal existence is not a test.” He explained that a test implies pass or fail. God created a “system where everyone succeeds, but only at the speed that they are able to grow.” Vinney questioned, “So, we can continue progressing after we die?” And Drake said, “We do indeed… the life you have on earth is a reflection of the life you can have afterward… [God] wants to give us more love, more responsibilities, and more opportunities to create and grow and love in ways you have never imagined. But you have to be ready for it… Whatever progress you can make while alive will help you that much more after you move on.” Life is a grand opportunity to grow in LIGHT and TRUTH. Jesus is the way and the truth and the life.  (John 14:6)

Learning in This Life

The Prophet Joseph Smith taught: “…if a person gains more knowledge and intelligence in this life through his diligence and obedience than another, he will have so much the advantage in the world to come.” (D&C 130:18-19)

The cornerstone scripture for the Protestant world is John 3:16; “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” But “everlasting life” is not the same as Eternal Life. The Apostle Paul shares that there are three degrees of glory. (1 Corinthians 15:40-42). The revelation given to Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery in Section 76 of the Doctrine and Covenants greatly amplifies that. And Section 88 gives us even more glorious detail.

Paul describes the three degrees of glory like the sun, the moon, and the stars. And as one star differs from another “in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead…” Those coming to Christ and receiving the fullness of the gospel are promised celestial glory—like unto the sun. Those who accept Christ from the Bible gospel will make it into the Millennium, where they will have the opportunity to receive the fullness of the gospel.  If they accept, they will enter into celestial realms of glory at the end of the millennium. Otherwise, they will enter a glory like unto the moon. Those rejecting Christ in this life will suffer for their sins during the epoch of the millennium. And if they accept Christ, they will have glory like unto the stars (Telestial Kingdom).

In the perfection of our infinitely loving God the “glory of the telestial… surpasses all understanding.” (D&C 76:89) We learn from Section 88 that the Lord rewards us according to the desires of our hearts. The Lord shares this profound counsel: “…that which they are willing to receive because they were not willing to enjoy that which they might have received. For what doth it profit a man if a gift is bestowed upon him, and he receives not the gift? Behold, he rejoices not in that which is given unto him, neither rejoices in him who is the giver of the gift. (D&C 88:32-33). The beautiful and glorious thing about Their Perfect Plan of Happiness is that we can grow in learning (Light and Truth) until we know what They know. Then we have a fullness of joy as we become like Them.

To Know Them is Eternal Life

I believe the most important thing we can do is help people come to know our infinitely loving Elohim. To know them is ETERNAL LIFE, (John 17:3) the greatest gift of all the gifts of God. (D&C 14:7) And the most important unit in time and in eternity is FAMILY.  Eternal Life is to know and live with our Heavenly Parents and Their Beloved Son, and to be like them—knowing “all things.” What an incredible promise and hope that gives us in the core of our beings and in the deepest reaches of our souls.

Elohim is plural and includes Heavenly Mother. I have come to know of her infinite love as well and of her magnificent role in the Godhead.

Learn the Truths of God

At a meeting in Paris, a good friend and colleague of mine came up to me and said, “I want you to give me a one-sentence summary of your religion!” I went into a deep internal prayer mode, and then shared with him, “We search for Truth with a capital T.” I believe the greatest opportunity in our mortal journey is to learn the TRUTHS of GOD, and then apply them in our lives. I have found the greatest joy in doing so. I believe that path leads us to Eternal Life and a fullness of joy Ironies, when you lose your life for Him, you find it.

Aquarian Gospel of Jesus Christ

In the Aquarian Gospel of Jesus Christ, by Levi, we read: “While he, with Peter, James and John went to Gethsemane to pray. They sat beneath an olive tree, and Jesus opened up the mysteries of life to Peter, James, and John. 

He said, ‘The Spirit of eternity is One unmanifest; and this is God the Father, God the Mother, God the Son in One. In the life of manifests the One became the Three, and God the Father is the God of might, and God the Mother is omniscient God, and God the Son is Love. And God the Father is the power of heaven and earth; and God the Mother is the Holy Breath, the thought of heaven and earth; and God the Son, the only son, is Christ, and Christ is love. I came as a man to manifest this love to men.” (163:29-34) This gospel also shares, “Behold, this Comforter of God, the Holy Breath, is one with God, but she is one that the world cannot receive because it sees her not; it knows her not. But you know her because she will abide within your soul.” (161:36-37)

Eternal Life – The Fullness of Joy

The Gospel of Thomas shares that Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother are “EQUALLY-SACRED.” “THEY ARE THE GREAT-POWERS OF ALMIGHTY/EL-SHADDAI… THE ONE IS NOT [without] THE OTHER IN THE ONE GREAT… YHV.” (117:B) I believe that Heavenly Mother as the “Holy Breath” perfectly orchestrates the angels in the Kingdom of Heaven to have angels speak the words of Her Beloved Son to witness Him across time and in eternity. (2 Nephi 32:2-5) And also to bear witness of Heavenly Father and His infinite love. Heavenly Father has protected Her name from being profaned. She is the best means now for us to know our true ELOHIM and to enjoy Eternal Life and a fullness of joy.

How To Be One With God

Spirituality, , , ,

How to be one with God is a question that challenges all of us.  One of the grand ironies of the Lord’s omniscience is that He asks us to be ONE like He and the Father are ONE. Yet, we have 8.1 billion independent intelligences on this globe, so how can we be One With God?

A Perfectly Designed Mission for Each of Us

Inherent within our intelligence is agency (free choice). Furthermore, in premortal our infinitely loving Heavenly Father gave each of us a different personally designed mission for our mortal journey (See Chapter 2 of It’s About Time). He designed it so that it would be the best way to bring us back home to Him. Then the Lord says, “Behold, this I have given unto you as a parable, and it is even as I am. I say unto you, be one; and if ye are not one ye are not mine (D&C 38:27).”

Hence, CHOOSING to be ONE with Him is paramount in our path to eternal life. And we know the only one who can perfect us and get us there is Christ (Moroni 10:32-33). “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me (John 14:6).”

What Can We Do to Help the Cause of Christ?

Because God’s love is perfect and infinite, we have His great promise before Christ comes again: “For it shall come to pass in that day, that every man shall hear the fulness of the gospel in his tongue, and in his language, through those who are ordained unto this power, by the administration of the Comforter, shed forth upon them for the revelation of Jesus Christ (D&C 90:11).” Furthermore, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the only religion that now offers the fullness of the gospel on both sides of the veil. This includes all the saving ordinances associated therewith. Yet, we are only 0.2 % of the world population, but fortunately, the Church is growing rapidly, and the growth rate is now increasing.

In the meantime, what can we do to help the cause of Christ? First, we need to be His disciples by sharing His glorious message of redemption and hope for eternal life. “Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples (John 15:8).”

As part of the Lord’s plan for ONEness, we know the ideal society to meet the Lord is ZION: “the pure in heart (D&C 97:21)” “And the Lord called his people ZION, because they were of one heart and one mind, and dwelt in righteousness; and there was no poor among them (Moses 7:18).” Clearly, knowing how to be one with God is paramount. Now, with 8.1 billion different world views across the globe for all of Father’s children, how can they be ONE? Accepting the Full infinite atonement of Jesus Christ and HIs teachings are the keys.  But most don’t know of these beautiful and life changing truths.

St. Petersburg Russia and being ONE

In 2015, I was invited to write a paper, give a lecture, and chair a panel in St. Petersburg, Russia. I took two cases of my book, It’s About Time, which harmonizes true science and true religion. They sold very quickly, and I had a great experience there.

I felt to add to the paper that I wrote for the conference an equation, which I feel the Lord gave me, on how to be one with God. The Savior opened the door for us to be “one” like He and the Father are one for all believers (Read John 17). In His great High Priest prayer, He excluded no one except the “world” of non-believers.

As background for this equation, consider God’s infinite love for us. He gave us His Only Begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him and lives His teachings shall have eternal life (John 3:16). Christ also gave us our conscience to “light” our way that we may know good from evil (John 1:9). At each decision point in life, we make choices. As we choose the good, we synchronize our souls with the will of God; otherwise, we become more asynchronous and are estranged from God. Well, did the Apostle James say, “Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin (James 4:17).”

A loving and merciful God has given us the door of repentance made effective through the infinite atonement of Christ so that we may resynchronize our souls with God. “Behold, he who has repented of his sins, the same is forgiven, and I, the Lord, remember them no more. By this ye may know if a man repenteth of his sins—behold, he will confess them and forsake them (D&C 58:42-43).” Also, in God’s love, He has twice as many angels around us to counter the adversary’s opposition, there for us as we pray (D&C 10:5).

Taking from Shakespeare’s Othello, from Charles Dickins, Barnaby Rudge, Chapter 29, which Abraham Lincoln used in his inaugural address, let us choose our “better angels,” who are whispering to us the best path for us.

Light Before Death

I recently learned of a remarkable book, The LIGHT BEFORE DEATH, by Vincent (Vinney) Todd Tolman.  It is our own Lazarus raised from the dead documented experience happening right here in Orem, Utah, in 2003. After he died, he was taught ten heavenly principles, by his Great-great-great grandfather, Charles Drake Cazier, as he moved to higher levels of light. One was the great importance of “Listen to your inner voice.”

The Kingdom of Heaven is perfectly organized, and the Lord’s angels are ever-attending. It is our choice to listen or not. They speak the words of Christ to know what we should do to align ourselves with God’s will (2 Nephi 32:2-5).

Drake beautifully shares with Vinney the great importance of Alma’s insight: “For behold, the Lord doth grant unto all nations, of their own nation and tongue, to teach his word, yea, in wisdom, all that he seeth fit that they should have; therefore we see that the Lord doth counsel in wisdom, according to that which is just and true (Alma 29:8).” The sixth principle Drake shared was, “Release prejudice.” And the capstone and tenth principle is: “Know that we are all one.”

Can we imagine a higher path in life than going about–best using our time and talents–in doing good as we follow the light of Christ? This is “the still small voice” shared so profoundly in the Bible (1 Kings 19:12). Then we are ONE with Him!

Following this still, small voice moves us to the path that aligns with the mission we agreed to do during our mortal journey. Doing so will bring honor and glory to our loving Heavenly Father. With Him, in a pre-mortal epoch, we agreed and rejoiced in our opportunity to come to earth. As developed in Chapter 2 of Itʼs About Time, I share that we had a special interview with our Heavenly Father in which we jointly mapped out our life’s mission that we knew would be for our eternal best good.

Because we have free agency, we can choose not to do our mission, but that path will not be the best for us.  When we apply faith in the Lord Jesus Christ in our lives and repentance, it means changing our path direction to align our will with His.

Our Time on Earth is Like a Clock

We can think of our time on earth like a clock, we move our soul’s clock closer to synchronism with Him, as we choose the right. We are doing the right things, at the right place, at the right time. Our thoughts are aligned with His omniscient and loving wisdom. He asks us, “Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not (D&C 6:36).”
Here is the equation.

yavg = xN/Ntauavg

We bring our clock into synchronization with God’s will when we make the right choice—listening to the Lord’s angels who speak the words of Christ. In this equation, N numbers our xN choice. Nτavg denotes our time on earth since we were accountable for our choices—nominally age eight. Our goal is to be ONE with God—zero distance between us and Him. One can show from this equation that yavg moves to zero as each choice ever moves us closer to the will of God as we listen to His angels ministering to us.

One can show mathematically that our frequency (our different world views) will move ever closer into perfect resonance with the Father through the Son as we move to be with them and their teachings. We are in harmony emotionally, spiritually, mentally, and physically with His will and are in ONEness with God. Synchronization means same time; syntonization means same rate. Our lives are syntonized in this ONEness, yavg = 0, God is with us in all we do, say, and think.

Our oldest son, Sterling, shared with me this fascinating experiment shared on the web of how five independent metronomes are brought into synchronization and syntonization. Synchronization of Metronomes. You can see Daniel in a 1 minute 49 seconds YouTube video showing that when the sounding board is free to respond to the metronomes’ movements, they come into synchronism—ONEness.

As I presented the paper for the international navigation conference in St. Petersburg, Russia, I included the above equation and insights as part of the paper. This allowed me to share the message of the gospel with my international colleagues. They politely asked me to remove it as they didn’t want spirituality as part of a technical conference. But here I share it with the world, and my colleagues reviewing the paper received the benefit.

Two clocks can be syntonized and have very different times; they could be an hour apart in their time readings while running at the same rate. If syntonized but not synchronized, then the time difference remains constant, and they remain out of sync. Because the time error of a clock is the integral of the frequency error, synchronization guarantees syntonization. We will see this concept being very important, as we develop how to resonate our souls with God.

I discuss the fascinating MASER and LASER action–invented by Nobel Prize winner Charles Townes, et. al.–in Chapter 20 of my book: www.ItsAboutTimeBook.com. The first atomic clock was an ammonia maser built by Harold Lyons, et. al. at NBS Washington, D.C. The first atomic clock I worked on in 1960 at NBS/Boulder, CO, was an ammonia maser.

Maser and laser are acronyms meaning Microwave or Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. The maser concept was first illustrated using hydrogen. In a hydrogen maser, when a hydrogen atom enters the resonant cavity of the maser in an excited-quantum-clock-transition-energy state, it is stimulated to give off its clock-transition photon in phase (synchronized and syntonized) with all the emissions of all the other atoms, which have already entered the cavity. The photons of all the atoms are in resonance with each other–like Daniel’s metronomes.

Notice, that Daniel first shows in the video that they do not resonate until the coupling-sounding-board is free to sense the combined movement of the metronomes. In the ideal ZION society motivated by the pure love of Christ, we are of “one mind and one heart.” We are in resonance with the will of God.

Because of this resonance phenomena, the time deviation TDEV time-stability plot improves as the square root of the averaging time, τ^-1/2. This gives hydrogen masers their unique excellent short-term frequency and time stability. And they are widely used across the globe to this day.

But, as explained in Chapter 20, for significant worldly reasons, this ideal resonance phenomenon, τ^-1/2, doesn’t persist. If a TDEV time-stability plot were made of the time differences of the metronomes in Daniel’s experiment, the stability would improve like the masers after resonance was achieved, but not before. This resonance phenomenon was first observed by the famous inventor of the pendulum clock, Christiaan Huygens, back in the 1600s. This ZION society mentality joyfully brings persistence to this Divinely orchestrated resonance phenomenon–illustrated by masers and Daniel’s metronomes.

As We Choose The Good

As we choose the good, we synchronize our souls with the will of God; otherwise, we become more asynchronous and are estranged from God. Also, in God’s love, as I mentioned before, He has angels around us to counter the adversary’s opposition.

We can synchronize our thoughts and actions with Him through prayer and pondering, studying, and feasting upon His word (2 Nephi 31:20). It is exciting to know that in our desires to synchronize our will to His, each of us has a unique mission, given our different times on earth and our different talents. In His infinite wisdom, He knows our uniqueness and will customize the inspiration given to each of us for our eternal best good. His will is to have each of us return to Him and receive a fullness of joy. But know that He will not force us; such force would violate our free agency and make it, not heaven. He will never do that; that is contrary to the laws of heaven. Being ONE with Him is our choice.

As we treasure up His word (JS-M 37) and hearken to it, in our Nth occasion to do so, we move xN closer to synchronism as we align our will to His. If we choose otherwise, we move our clock further away from the “correct time” and away from being ONE with God. Like the sounding board for the metronomes needs to be “free” to facilitate resonance among the metronomes, so we need to get out of the noise of the world and find the freedom in communion with God that will open our minds and hearts to the still small voice. That is the path to true freedom. “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed (John 8:36).”

His Loving Arms are Stretched Out

His loving arms are stretched out continually to all of us in His infinite capacity to do so that we may find resonance with Him through faith in Christ and repentance from sin.
The denominator ever grows larger and the numerator can be made smaller and smaller as we synchronize our wills to the will of the Father, as the Son did perfectly. One can show that this equation converges to perfect resonance; we grow into ONEness with God and are guaranteed eternal life in that process. When our worldview becomes aligned with His perfect view, His promise is, “Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:32). In that unity we become free of sin as individuals, and free from bondage as a society. We become one with God in that ideal society motivated by the pure love of Christ, and each of our time and talents are thus utilized fully for the betterment of that society in time and in eternity. How exciting is that? This is he path to a fullness of joy.

We model our society after the harmony of the Godhead. The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost each have different missions within the Godhead, but they are one–motivated by pure and perfect love. They move the cause of Truth forward throughout the universe. Following this perfect model is how, as Jesus has asked us to pray, that Father’s kingdom comes on earth as it is in heaven (Matt. 6:9-13). Could there be a more exciting message–a society based on the pure love of Christ, which will partake of a fullness of joy?

For those wishing to chat online about the gospel of Jesus Christ, you may visit Mormon.org. They have the facility to chat in some fifty different languages. The Book of Mormon (another witness for Christ) is available in 110 languages. This book–companion to the Bible–is designed to help bring us to Christ and to this ONEness.

Conspiracy Theory or Conspiracy Fact

Science, ,

Science Versus God

Many believe in science more than God. As a scientist, I have an advantage over most in the field of science, because I know God, and that true science and true religion harmonize.

We live in times of conflicting information. Many are convinced, that those who believe in conspiracy theories don’t have the facts.  Let us look at the facts.  What does the data tell us?  As a scientist, that is what I have been trained to do.

Human Knowing

The best article I know of on “Human Knowing” is by my good friend, Chauncey C. Riddle, emeritus professor of philosophy of religion at BrighamYoung University.  He discusses “Ways of Human Knowing:” Perception; Reason; Experimentation; Authoritarianism; Imagination; Knowledge of good and evil; and Personal Revelation.  We should all take advantage of Prof. Riddle’s profound insights on how to know the truth.

The Savior said, “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”  (John 8:32)  This should give us great motivation to seek truth.  The Pilgrims placed a covenant on this land as did President George Washington.  As long as the people of this nation repent and live the commandments, we as a nation will remain free and will have the Lord’s protecting hand.  The American Revolutionary War is an attestation of that; we should not have won, but we did.  And George Washington succinctly summarized why, “Divine Intervention.”

Dangerous Times

On September 11th, 2001, the world was shocked as two airplanes plowed into the sides of the two Twin Towers, and then shortly thereafter both collapsed into their own footprint, as did Building 7 without and airplane impact.

I have been following the physics of 9/11 closely over the years. My good friend, Steven E. Jones, Emeritus Professor of Physics from BYU, was one of the earliest whistleblowers on the truth of this horrendous atrocity. His groundbreaking paper showed direct evidence of controlled demolition which took down the three world trade center buildings.  I helped peer review that paper.  The data and facts are totally consistent with controlled demolition, documenting a “conspiracy fact!”  In an article I wrote,  I list 22 reasons why this is a “conspiracy fact.” These reasons are based on data, and not on media hype.  It contradicts information told to the public by the press. It seems much of the media are “in bed” with the deception.

On October 15th, 2020, the Lawyer’s Committee For 9/11 Inquiry submitted a petition to the US Congress formally requesting a “redress of grievances regarding Federal Government misconduct related to the post-9/11 anthrax attacks of 2001,” showing Americans, that not only has the evidence presented been suppressed, but it has also been disregarded all this time. There is a great possibility, to this very day, that the same entities and interests involved with the anthrax deception and its coverup may be the same ones building the new biosecurity state, apparently using the current iteration of the ongoing anthrax agenda, COVID-19.

On 21 November 2020, David Meiswinkle, President Executive Director of Lawyer’s Committee For 9/11 Inquiry, was interviewed, and their information going forward has led them to “Anthrax to COVID – the ongoing anthrax deception,” and we have this video. Thanks to The Last American Vagabond for permission to post the video.

We Have Been Warned

For those who believe the scriptures, Moroni warns us: “Wherefore, the Lord commandeth you, when ye shall see these things come among you that ye shall awake to a sense of your awful situation, because of this secret combination which shall be among you;”  (Ether 8:24}  Notice Moroni says, “When” not “If.  In vs 25, he discusses how these “secret combinations” are designed, “to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations, and countries…”

Wake Up Call

As a believing scientist, this calls for a major wake-up call – to be true watchmen on the tower – because if we don’t, “And behold, the watchman upon the tower would have seen the enemy while he was yet afar off; and then ye could have made ready and kept the enemy from breaking down the hedge thereof, and saved my vineyard from the hands of the destroyer.” (D&C 101:45-46, 53-54)

If you don’t know the enemy, then he will deceive you with the goal of control us and destroying our liberty.  We know who we can trust, and it is not the “arm of flesh,” but the Lord.  We know who wins in the end, but in the meantime, let us be wide awake and do what we can for the cause of liberty and truth.  The battle with Satan is real; let us be aware and valiant; repent of all our sins and turn totally to the Lord for the truths that will save us individually and as a nation.

How to Increase Your Faith in God

Spirituality, , , ,

Faith and Belief in God and Jesus Christ seem to be waning quickly. Many are gravitating toward secularism and materialism, a belief system that rejects religion, or the belief that any religion should not be part of their lives or the affairs of the state. Christianity, as well as other religions are declining.  I write this to counter this dangerous trend.

The Need for Faith in Religion and Science

Ironically, I show in my book that scientists need to have faith as well. In 1931 Kurt Gödel proved the famous inconsistency theorem, which in essence says that science cannot prove the consistency of a system; or in other words, they need to have faith in some set of assumptions or axioms.  Even though science seems to be about facts, faith is needed there as well, even though they will not admit it.

In general, we cannot absolutely-publicly prove God in this mortal sphere; He designed it that way. God wants us to start by faith, and grow in faith, until we come to know Him personally.

Jesus Christ has offered us eternal life, the greatest of all the gifts of God, if we will believe in Him. (John 3:16)  Because we are given free choice (agency), we can choose to accept that invitation or not.  That choice to believe in Him  is the most important choice you will make in this life.  You already made that choice to follow Jesus before you were born; else, you would not be here.

Below, I share evidence for you to believe and receive the enormous blessings that will be yours as you accept His invitation to hearken to His voice and have a fullness of joy and eternal life as promised by Him.

While most of us live by faith, many prophets have come to know God face to face.  We have their testimonies and many have been martyred because they would not deny what they knew.

Jesus said, “If any man will do his will [God’s], he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or I speak of myself.” (John 7:17)  It is my personal experience that this statement is true.  I know God lives and loves us, and I share the following to help you know that.
