We are Here to Learn

1994 NOTES

We are called to serve Him, Heavenly King of Glory; here to serve Him, not ourselves our whole lives.  If we are always telling each other what to do, we will never learn what to do.  We learn from one another—by example.  In the council of the God’s in heaven; we learned from one another and taught one another.  We are here to learn.  We think we are here to teach our children, but we are really here to learn from them.  We are here to help one another.  Life is made by God, so we are dependent upon others.  We can only be complete if we learn to work with others.  We cannot be saved by ourselves-- with the Savior we have hope. 

Relationships; we are saved by grace after all we can do.  Not dependant in a groveling sort of way but dependant in an all encompassing way—while we are dependent on others to meet our salvation, they are dependent upon us for their salvation—to work out our salvation before God, and learn on this earth plane.  In the beginning Adam had all things but a help meet.  In order to progress through the purpose of this life, to allow spirit children who had progressed to a point, they needed to come here to earth.  We are dependant upon one another.  If we refuse to be, we won’t progress.  We need to recognize the fact that others can do things that we cannot do, then we can progress—in our own sphere of influence.  And the prisoners shall all go free—prisoners of pride.

We are all criminals to some extent—in that we have all broken God’s laws to some extent. 

What kind of prisoners are we?  In one sense or another; stuck in a passion for worldly things, habits, past wrongs not repented of, or we haven’t asked God to be forgiven. There is also pride, the desire to appear better than others, hypocrisy, and an unwillingness to help, or to love others.  Through Jesus, the prisoner shall go free.  We have to do our part; but realize we are dependent.  Face our own feelings of inadequacy or bondage.  God has said; you are my sons’, and my daughters’; there is in you the potential to become like Him, or Her. 

See His hand in all things and ourselves; how do we speak to ourselves? 

The hand that created the sunset created the potential in us.  We cloud ourselves and minds and thoughts and countenances because of our selves; not every evening we have a beautiful sunset.  Sometimes storm clouds can be behind a beautiful sunset.  Behind every one of you, without exception, there is a son and daughter of God; potential to be like God.  Moses encountered in the Pearl of Great price 1^st chapter 6 or seventh verse; “thou are in similitude of the only begotten of God.  Full of grace and truth; all things are present with me for I know them all”.  Doesn’t He know your thoughts--your inadequacies?  He already knows those things and He hasn’t zapped you yet.  He already knows these things.  He is waiting for you to tell Him that you know that He knows.  You won’t give him any information, since He knows all things, but you will give yourself information.

When the presence of God left Moses and grace left; he fell to the earth.  We literally fall to being subject to things of the world.  “And now I know that man is nothing”, is what he saw.  If we are being honest with ourselves, we can see which things we never supposed, or learned—yet this is dependent upon higher power—or higher perspective.  Think of how Moses was raised with a pharaoh.  Moses saw God with spiritual eyes.  Key:  We see God with our spiritual eyes.  Go to the temple and really listen to what is said.  Satan came tempting the son of man, saying, “Worship me”. 

When we put aside and do not see the hand of God in all things, His creations (us), then Satan comes and says “Worship me”; And we do with cars, houses, thoughts, worries, fear, being above another.  Moses saw man was not above anything!

Moses asked Satan; who are thou?  Where is thy glory that I should worship thee?

Moses had just been transfigured before God; through His glorious LIGHT and truth and spirit which permeated through all the flesh, or things of the flesh.  See the things of God; with your spiritual eyes.  

There are two ways to see things; For instance, you are taking care of a crying child. 

Two ways to see the situation;

1—“This kid is driving me crazy” (seeing them through natural eyes)

2—“I wonder if I was this way as a child.  Yet Mom/Dad was patient with me”. (Compassion) Asking the child; “How can I help you?” (Serving God by serving His Creation)

Asking; how can I be more loving?  And, can I see the hand of God in this creation, or teenager, or husband, wife…? Etc.

Until the Perfect Day

1994

Every religion (except Satan’s) has truth in it—look for the priesthood power restored with the authority and ordinances in order to live a higher law, leading to fullness;you will find it if YOU listen to the Holy Spirit.

As you study truths from all over, keep in mind God’s ordinances, priesthood order and Christ.  Your foundation and compass on which to measure all things. That truth may be circumcised into one great whole.

Once earth (women) has accepted man, he can seek heavenward and bring heaven to earth. 

Or, in other words; Once we are actively building up Zion—one in heart and actual communities of Zion—communities which respect women, children, God’s order in nature, life, things that are sacred, and Deity, they will then have a proper place for the Bringer of Life—woman—then, men will seek God’s Kingdom to come down from Heaven, and will truly become Helper of Mankind, working closely with the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ.  The Savior will bring the Kingdom of heaven down, first into the hearts of man, then in actual physicality.  “On Earth as it is in Heaven,” was the prayer of Jesus the Christ.  This must be OUR desire and full intent each day.

Use reminders and remind our mind-- repeat and repeat-- so that spirit is made manifest in body/flesh.  So body can be purified and equal to Spirit of God which is within us; until the perfect day.

Our mind needs to be reminded of this over and over so that Spirit is made manifest until we feel the DESIRE, in our body or flesh.  So the whole body can be purified “As He is Pure”, or unified, and measure up, or equaled up to the Spirit of God which is within us.

Watch Thoughts--

--Either they are sucking away light, peace, goodness and truth—this you can know by how you FEEL when you think them, or someone else shares their thoughts…if they are trying to snuff out the light you will feel down (depressed) or a negative feeling (fear-based)

Or building spirit, listening closely as if you have a direct “antenna” to the frequency of God’s spirit—increasing the light in every cell, in every part of one’s self, in every dimension—for Spirit attracts more spirit, and light cleaves to light; even in the smallest degree.

That is why to “plant the seed” is to simply have a DESIRE to know, and then in order to cultivate that seed, we hold onto it with faith, and then after that seed grows through our nourishing of it through acting upon our impression or “insight”, we come to a knowledge of light and truth.

You know God by seeing His spirit or portion of His spirit in others eyes.  This is why your heart jumps, or rejoices, when you see it…it becomes more than light as mind connects to soul and then immediately to spirit; which is pure light. 

Satan perverts this light as a carnal (physical only), or lower level “attraction”

Christ shows that light we see and feel in another’s eye as spirit recollection and recognition.

See God’s spirit in all the degrees in people’s eyes around you.  “The light of the body is the eye”.

The things of the spirit are understood by the spirit.

The things of the spirit are understood by the spirit.

Let your light so shine that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in Heaven.

Let your light so shine that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in Heaven.  (We are not meant to prove anything!  The opportunity we are given to do good works is a blessing from our glorious Father—and we praise Him!  He can show His light and love through tender experiences with the spirit.  It is not a time to boost in our superior faith, because the “spiritual experience” happened to us, or to “prove our religion is right, or the one, or someone else’s is incorrect.  We are not here to prove anything to anyone else but ourselves.  We are here individually to grow our light by exercising faith in God with our flesh, and thus progress our soul towards more light and truth, or heavenly knowledge—Until the perfect day—when we shall see Him as He is, for we shall be like Him.  We are here to meet God’s spirit again, through our own spirit which resides in us.  “The Kingdom of Heaven is within”.  God’s work is loving—His perfect and pure and powerful unconditional love, not man’s very conditional “love”.  Since man in mortality is flesh, that love ends up being a love of flesh.  But God is Spirit and a glorified eternal body, and His love is eternal and glorified.  We can trust Him.

Men learn and obey the Father, who is in Heaven and Women are to listen and know the Voice of the Lord, Jesus Christ; He who created Earth for the Father. 

Women represent earth.  Both were made in the image of God; “both male and female created They Them”.

HERBS for EARS and NERVES

July 17, 1994 

Use pungent plants, herbs as tea.

Daily Eat plants that branch out like the nerves and brain;

Cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, lettuce, etc.

Forgo butter and use herbs or pungent vinegars

Carry around earplugs for sharp, annoying sounds

PLUG it; these sounds break down spirit and then body

OPEN TO; Vibrating, pleasant voices and music—silence too—these are healing sounds.

As you heal, you will see dark and hear; remember dark and shadows—let go.  Just realized it is going OUT; Rising up and out.  

Use “twin dreamers” help. (Paying attention to dreams and recording them as much as you can remember.  Then look at dream interpretations and see if they feel right, or close.  Pray for understanding.)

Truth Strengthens & Women See In Circles

1994

Lie’s Weaken, confuse

I can know it’s true if I can draw strength from it; thought teaching, words, ideas…

Women who are in turmoil in their relationships need a LOT of encouragement, hugs, and “you’re doing great!” a listening ear…

Step IN, now out!

Men see in straight lines, left to right

Women see in circles, and can go in and out in conversations, and eventually get back to the center of the discussion.

Jesus spoke in both directions; instead of left to right he went top to center to bottom, returning to the thought at the beginning, like returning to the center of the circle. 

We have a “baby of creation” in the "womb of our hearts"…

We get tired before the birth of each child, and then excited about the birth happening.

Travel

July 4, 1994

Travel and open your arms.  Relax your center and breathe…receive all with gratitude from God.  Keep your mind open and your eyes alert--The dragon slayed his followers.  Stay in the circle of Christ, love all.

The Chicken that was Really an Eagle

There was once an eagle that was raised along with barn yard chickens (the natural man).  She did not fly.  She had nothing to know she was an Eagle.  Until one day a beautiful Golden Eagle flew across the sky, blocking the sun one day with his enormous wings.  For one moment she saw his shadow.  Then he was gone.  She only saw Him for a moment but it was long enough to stir something deep inside her.  She wanted to soar like that!

She began to flap her golden wings, strengthening them.  The others laughed at her.  Chickens they were.  So for a moment she went back to pecking seeds from the earth, just like everybody else.  Being told she should feel glad for whatever she got.  But inside her, there was a place that was empty, so empty.  Somehow she knew that beautiful Golden Eagle would fill that empty space.  She continued to strengthen her wings, in spite of the laughter around, the cackling. There were even some more eagles like her, but they merely watched her efforts cautiously and continued to peck seeds like the chickens.

One day the farmer’s son, a vicious boy, came home from college.  He’d always hated the chickens at his father’s farm—and especially the eagles that didn’t’ fly.  He hated their beauty and the fact that someday they’d learn who they were and fly away from his father.  He had always warned him that they might someday fly away.  He just couldn’t, wouldn’t let that happen!  His father was their master!  And someday he wanted to own them too.  Didn’t his father give them scratch feed?   Was that not enough?  So with anger he went out to the barnyard, seeing the one eagle practicing flight.  This must not be!  At first he tried starving her, until she nearly died.  No, this would not work.  Then he made a special nest for her, very comfortable and fed her fish by hand, thinking that if he made her so comfortable she wouldn’t find out who she was.  But then she still practiced her wing flapping.  Ungrateful hen!  

One day in a fit of rage, and tired of her determination to leave his care, he pushed the eagle off a cliff.   At first she faltered and swirled down into space; down, down she fell.  Then she remembered the golden eagle's big wings, and opened her wings.  She stopped falling!  She started to glide…and what wonder, what joy!  Flapping her wings, she started to fly!  Feeling freedom unlike anything she had ever experienced.  And the view!  No more dusty ground or squabbling chickens pestering her.  No more farmers’ son hovering around her with his evil intentions.  Soon she was soaring above the trees around the farm.  She looked down and saw the chickens below still pecking at the ground, completely unaware that the sky could be so wonderful.  Nothing changed for them.  But her whole life changed in that instance of flight.  The wind rushed smoothly around her in a caress.  The sunshine warmed her whole being --and the view!  There were mountains and rivers and other homes.  Places to go explore and new sights to see called to her.  She cried out encouragement to the few eagles on the grounds who were watching her flight, and headed towards the purple mountains in the distance, eagerly anticipating what awaited her there. 

Her wings are Truth--Her strength is Righteousness--And the mountain is Faith

The eagle felt somewhat guilty for leaving those poor chickens behind.  Knowing they’d never fly.

Being members of the Church of the Firstborn makes us Eagles.  But until we see the shadows of soaring eagles and feel that emptiness inside, like we are missing something, we won’t fly.

The first “eagle” to fly was Jesus the Christ; The Way, the Truth and the Light.  Can chickens become eagles?  Yes!   We were all chickens before we were eagles.  When they go into the magic waters of baptism we come out as eagles.  But we will continue to peck on the ground for seeds until the emptiness overwhelms us and we start to LOOK UP.  Then we will see the eagles soaring and feel a glimmer of HOPE.

  

The chickens that become unhappy with pecking in the dust, waiting for someone else to feed them, will look for them, will look for the soaring golden eagle and find the magical waters of baptism. There, the Holy Ghost is given as a gift to “always have” as they “remember Jesus the Christ”.  The Holy Ghost is the wings of the eagle.  Listening and obeying the Spirit are the exercises of flying, because without exercising faith, the wings are useless.  Eagles must work for food, but are free that way—and can fly.

Chickens cannot fly and must wait for someone to feed them, or peck in the dirt.  They are usually kept in cages as well.  Chickens wait to be fed by their preachers, ministers, or others.  Eagles look for their own food and are provided for by the God of Heaven. 

Love is circular; you must love, truly yourself first, until you can love others.  Otherwise, you are always looking to them for their love.  And when they don’t give it, we resent it.  Love yourself and then others can love you.  Serve and love others and then there will something to love about yourself. 

A note in my journal written by Daniel at Stake Conference;

They believe that everyone but them will make it.  But the good news is that we can ALL make it.  “A long time ago I committed to follow Christ, so I do what I can and the Lord will do the rest.  The Savior paid the price for our sins-- He will decide when he will forgive.”  Help them know He loves them and to regain their confidence.
