Q - Where do you live in heaven?

Where do you live in heaven? 

I am here on earth.  I physically  am very close to you –  In fact if we were on the same frequency/dimension., I could probably reach out and touch you.  But I can’t see you, and you can’t see me because of the veil.  The veil keeps our two worlds separate even though they occupy the same space and time… Think of it like two channels on the same television…you see the world that you are tuned to…even though they occupy the same space.   Anyway, in this spirit world, I live in a beautiful mountain home with crystal water gardens surrounding me.  I was always fond of flowing water over solid rock with vibrant color and so in death, I choose to be surrounded by it.  Animals play and dwell atop my mountains and swim and dance in my seas, lakes and rivers.  Fountains playfully toss rock, air and water  in amazing and changing patters first through the air, then through the rock, then through the water.  My home is designed by all in my family.  Especially my partner – my eternal wife, who is a mother of all living things.  

Q - Where is Heaven?

Where is heaven?  Does God live there? 

Let me set straight some misunderstandings before I answer the ‘where’ question.  First of all heaven is a lot of things to a lot of different people.  Let me define some terms so that when we talk about heaven we are talking about the same thing.

·          Joy – This is what we will call heaven when it’s being referred to as a state of mind; a state of joy.  Happiness (e.g. the mere excitement of doing something fulfilling, interesting, and challenging and being successful at it)  is a part of that joy…but only a component.  Joy is that knowledge that you are at peace with all about you, that you are understood and accepted of those who matter most, that you are in the right way, and that you have deep meaning in your life.   Now I’m going to explain a couple of things that are going on over here, which will help you understand  my ‘where’ answer.

 ·          Spirit World -  When you die, you come into a spirit world where only those who dwelt on earth, and have passed away – as spirits – dwell.  Here you continue your journey but without your physical body.  You are still you – but you are  living just in a spirit body.  Here you continue to learn, to grow, to make decisions about good and evil, to change your life, to make and break associations, to make and break commitments of service, etc.  Those who are righteous and learn the most, find joy here and thus it becomes a paradise or heaven. Those who are wicked, and have appetites for evil things, will find great chaos and discord in their minds and will lose focus – creating a sense of depression, fear, anger, and ultimate sorrow.  These will call this place spirit prison or hell – even though it is only a temporary location and not the ultimate suffering described by prophets and the savior.  Whether in paradise or spirit prison, this state of spiritual preparation is just temporary.  For ultimately we all will come before the Savior to be judged, so that we may enter the ‘Heaven’ or Mansion or Kingdom to which we will continue our development in the flesh.

·          Kingdom of Glory – Finally, the resurrection will come to all, and here is where you will enter a place of glory – both physical and spiritual in nature.  While we all will have physical bodies able to do many of the things we do in life, yet, we will be primarily spiritual in nature – able to communicate, travel, reason, understand as a spirit.  There are many levels of glory to which we will exist.  Some will have the ultimate glory – so powerful and incredible, that they will be able to live near and with God and his Son as they exist in their full glory.  Others will be less powefully endowed with glory, but nonetheless will experience great joy and happiness.  These will have great power over their bodies and their world – and will find great opportunities for growth and experiencing joy.  While others will still have great joy – but will not experience a fullness because of their inability or incapacity for joy.  These are those who on earth and in the spirit world were proud, wicked, hateful, unthankful and selfish.  Each at this level of glory will have repented and changed from their wicked ways, but still will not have the capacity for increased and eternal joy.   They will not have learned how to turn darkness into light.  Turn pain into joy.  They trials come upon them, they are unable to cope with it – and cry for help.  It is the influence of those in higher kingdoms  (coming through the channel of the Holy Ghost) which will nurture and strengthen those in this kingdom.

 So where am I?  I’m kind of in between.  I live in the kingdom of glory known as the Celestial Kingdom…but I work consistently with spirits in the Spirit world.  All of us from the City of Enoch have already been resurrected into a celestial glory, but before we move forward with our eternal progression we are servants of God to help prepare for the wrap-up scene.  There are thousands from Earth who have proven their worthiness and ability for joy, and have already been resurrected into this kingdom of glory. 

 

Now let’s talk about where… The spirit world is here on earth…now…all around you.  But don’t panic – just as you can’t see us, we typically don’t see you.  We exist in another dimension of space which can only be seen if you were to become more ‘attune – or in tune’ with this dimension.  Hard to imagine isn’t it.  Think of it like a TV set.  When you flip the channel – you see different worlds on the same screen – it just depends on who you are tuned into.  The same is true with our two worlds.  You have to tune into the right dimensional frequency.  The trick is that this is more than just a spiritual tuning – for a man to tune into the spirit world – he either has to leave his body – or his whole body has to tune in.  This is not something that man has learned to do…however,  it does happen on occasion with prophets or extremely spiritual people. 

 There are many dimensions located here.  The Celestial Kingdom is also located here.  However, since the world itself has not finished passing through it’s full process of death and resurrection, the Celestial World is not finished.  Once the earth is resurrected, then it will shine with it’s full glory.

 In the meantime, God’s heaven – headquarters as it were – is located on a star far from here….near a star known as Kolob.  God in all his glory governs from there.  Those who have not yet been born, are located there with him.…but once this world has passed through it’s eternal preparation, it too will become a home/heaven for those who were trained and tested here. 

 Having said that we should remember that God’s home is anywhere amongst his creations.  Wherever his children are and where they have built a dwelling place for him to dwell…a temple, he comes and dwells for a time.  All things are his, and so he is at home at all places where he may be found.  He has rights to all locations to enter, to leave.  And all who dwell within his lands are guests – permitted to dwell for a time.

Q - What does heaven look like?

What does heaven look like? 

Well there are many heaven’s, mansions – or places where the righteous dwell after this life. 

 The spirit world’s paradise is one such place.  It is where the righteous spirits live before their resurrection.  

 After resurrection, the righteous go to a mansions of glory  or Kingdom’s of glory are where we dwell when we have a physical body – such as those who are resurrected.  The beauty of each mansion is based on it’s nature – spirit or physical.  But in all cases, in heaven, beauty is more than skin deep.  Beauty for all things both living and inanimate is perfect – starting at the presence and spirit that it emits, to the skin surface, to the structure, to the internal functions, to the thought and motivations, to the actions it performs.  All is beautiful  Let me describe a couple things about my home that I think you’ll find fascinating about heaven…

·          We live in a place where beauty is evident everywhere you look….a spiritual glow accompanies all ‘things’. 

·          There are animals of all kinds, shapes, sizes, colors, coverings, and purposes.

·          They move about in all kinds of ways - fly, crawl, walk, hop, skip, swim, climb, vibrate, slither, float,

·          They communicate in all sorts of ways – vocal, smell, visual signage, touch, spiritual perception. 

·          They consume and grow at different rates –

·          They have all kinds of body shapes – they are covered with hair, fur, feathers, skin, mucous, etc.

·          They are all colors – some vibrant and glowing, others dark and changing.

·          They are aware and cognizant.  Some playful, while others service oriented.  Some are simple while others are the most intelligent creatures I have ever met.  Many don’t appear to have any more purpose than to please the eye and stir the creative imagination, while others are actively involved in preparing people for the 2^nd coming of Christ.  None of them are the brute animals that they were in life.

·          They are all obedient and virtuous and able to experience joy.  

·          Some of my dearest friends from Earth were animals – including  the wonderful buffalo that I used to kill on the plains which saved me and my loved ones – now roam my lush mountains….coming to visit me frequently.  I love them so.

·          Inanimate objects – are animate in that they recognize and obey the voice of God and his servants.  And because of this control, the scenery and landscape is in a constant state of variability.  Changing to meet new needs and demands, as well as interests of those who dwell there.

·          The sky is bright – with an internal glow filled with color and ever changing vistas.

·          The planets and stars are visible and as spirits, are visitable.

·          People are happy – surrounded by loved ones – working together to bring to pass God’s work.

·          There are no poor…except perhaps for the poor in spirt…those who suffer from  despair, loneliness, impatience, anger, incontinence, fear, hatred, unforgiveness, and pride.  But even these are cared for, and treated with love and kindness – in hopes that they will be healed, and return.

·          But perhaps the most beautiful gift of all comes as we assemble and review our lives – and look into the urim and thumim – seeing the past, the future, our lives, our repentance… we gain so much.

Q7 - How'd you learn English?

Q7 - How’d you learn English?

Actually this is a more interesting question than you might think.  Since I’ve been around for almost 500 years, I have learned a lot of different languages.  I’m fluent in 15 current languages, and 8 dead languages.  It is so hard for me to try to communicate with others when I can’t speak their language that I really focus on learning the language.  Of course I pray to Father to help me, and I am blessed with a gift of tongues which helps me translate my thoughts clearly and automatically.  Also, often I get help learning languages from my personal Urim and Thummim.  It is that personal spirit focusing device I mentioned in our email about technology.  Anything I think, I can hear it spoken in the language of my interest. 

 The language Insider’s all speak is the same language as the one spoken by Adam in the Garden of Eden.  It is a beautiful language with the ability to communicate one’s spiritual expressions simply and without too many words.  It’s exciting to speak and write it since as a spirit we tend to just pour forth pure communication without real words.  But with the Adamic Language, we must choose words – but the words are so pure and communicte so well that it is exciting to speak.

 At the time of the tower of Babel, when languages were confused, our early patriarchs prayed to have our tongue not to be confounded so that we could continue to speak with one tongue.  The Lord asked them what language they would like to speak, and they pleaded with him to enable them to speak the Adamic tongue.  He blessed us with the language we had prayed for.  Later when our brothers of the Ten Tribes were brought to us, some 2,000 years ago, they brought their language to us.  We learned how to speak their language so that they would feel a part of us.  Eventually they all learned Adamic, and we have spoken it as our base language since.

Q6 - How do you communicate?

Q6.   How do you communicate with us?  Is it just using a standard computer connected to our internet system, or is there something more.  Don’t you guys have something a little more sophisticated than Windows XP?  Please tell me that you do… 

Actually we don’t have much hardware technology inside here at all.  Most of our communication with each other and with the Lord is made possible through very natural laws associated with the nature of spirits.  Something you call prayer, but for us is much more interactive and common part of our lives. 

 

Spirits emanate energy and spirit matter in all directions at all times.  That’s their makeup and nature.  This emanation links and passes through all things, like x-rays, through a giving and receiving process.  The cycling of this energy occurs in spirit bodies…yours and mine.   As spirit energy is emitted from the body in waves of power and intelligence, the spirit becomes used, and needs replenishing and rejuvenation.  The spirit is capable of regenerating it’s energy from other spirits energy and light which emanates from them. This give and take process happens continually between all spiritual matter that is possessed by all things.  Of course, the light and energy emanating from God is so powerful that it dwarfs all other sources of light. 

 

This spirit wave of give and take, is filled with information and intelligence.  A kind of communication which makes it possible for me to communicate with you instantly and directly…without the use of technology..  However, a spirit can only communicate with another spirit, if that spirit is tuned into the communicating person’s frequency.  So the spiritual communication I send to you is generally ignored because you generally don’t tune in.  But someday when you’ve passed away and enter the spirit world, tuning into the spirit communication of all other spirits will again be very natural.  We just use that ability now.

 

So back to your question.  Basically you’re right, we typically don’t use Windows Vista or computers, or cellphones, or wireless telephones – we have massive data transport through spiritual medium which is so much more efficient (and it doesn’t require that you reboot the system every hour).  However, whenever we need to interface with your computer systems – such as to gather geneological records or to communicate directly with someone, we use your computer technology so that we are compatible and you will listen to us…it is like how the Lord used plagues with Pharoah at the time of Moses…it was something he could and would listen to.

 

Having said that, don’t assume that we don’t use light and spirit matter in creative and powerful ways.  We have created a number of devices which utilize the natural order of spirits to teach us powerful things, which we typically have difficulty tuning into without.  One of these is a device called a Liahona – a compass which operates on spirit frequencies.  Another, is a crystal called the Urim and Thummim.  This device allows one to see the past and the future and to get special instruction spelled out in a language of the persons understanding.  It allows you to get answers to questions instantly.  This powerful tool makes the Internet seem like a child’s play thing.

Q5 - Why now?

Q5 – If you’re supposed to keep apart from us, why are you doing this email thing?  Why are you making contact with people on earth?  Why now?  

Partly because your people are drifting so fast, that if we don’t intervene quickly, you will be too far – as a people – to save.  And that is bad for us!  We can stay silent, and apart progressing without intervening in your world, only if your people are not going to destroy the world.

Currently you live in a world that is so saturated in secularism, anti-religion, materialism, profit-potential, and greed that it is becoming difficult for you and others to even understand WHY seek out God…why give up greed when it’s not profitable?  People are to the point where they don’t care about truth.  They just want something new, fun, and exciting.  I saw a cartoon the other day where an angel was appearing before a fat couple who were holding some kind of pre-cooked snackfood, and they said to the angel, “We don’t want truth, we want a microwave.”  We are trying to help generate some interest in something other worldly, so that perhaps you’ll discover God and his plan for you before it’s too late.

And then we'll need to get involved in a big way.

However, you should note right up front that I don’t represent the Word of God. I don’t know everything…being an Insider and all, I’m pretty fallible.  What I say doesn’t necessarily represent the true word.   So don’t take anything I say, and assume it’s 100% true.  I’m still learning and growing just as you are.   These emails are just an awakening as it were, to help you look out for yourself and your family.   When you need truth, look in the scriptures, and in your answers to prayer.

 However, don’t take this little disclaimer as a reason to ignore the things I say or the warnings I give.  We Insiders give warnings all the time that are ignored – whisperings, lightning, thoughts, bizarre weather patterns, seeming coincidences, signs, impressions and sometimes even direct intervention.  As needed we anonymously protect, we counsel, we prepare your way.  But it rarely seems to be enough.  But as we get closer to the end, Father has given us permission to do something a little more radical.

 So to answer your question - why now?  Because time is getting short.  Of course you can feel it, and you have seen so many witnesses that the time is drawing close:

- Wars and rumors of war

- The church is going throughout the world and is growing

- The church is putting on its robes of glory

- The temple in Jackson County Mo.

- Bizarre weather – earthquakes, tornados, floods, draught

- A new millenium

- Men lovers of their own selves – unnatural affections – etc. etc. etc.

 

And with all these signs, it’s critical that everyone start preparing themselves for the end game.

Q4 - Why not just reveal yourself?

Q4 – Why don’t you just appear to me and talk to me?  Why all the mystery?

Mostly it’s because God has commanded us not to reveal ourselves. 

- We are close to the Father and our knowledge of Him and His plans are true.  He doesn’t want us to reveal ourselves yet, because you as a world are not ready for the message we have to bring.  Let me put this another way.  The message God wants the world to have is already on the earth.  But it is brought to you by the weak things of the world, so that you will have to exercise faith in order to believe.  If WE bring the message to you, you will know for a certainty of it’s truth.  And that would be bad – for you. 

- It’s a little like why you don’t want to know the ending of a movie or a book before you finish it…discovery is half the fun.  If I made it clear by showing you myself and my technologies you would know and be held accountable by God for the way you use the knowledge you receive.  Why’s that a problem?  Well, because you’re held accountable for all the truth’s that you know.   For if we receive truth before we’re ready, then we are held accountable for things we may not be ready to live.  For example, if you know that you shouldn’t steal – but you do – you are more guilty (and cause more personal damage to yourself) than one who never knew. That’s why Christ taught in Parables.  For some they were just interesting stories.  For others they were deep theological metaphors of life saving doctrine.

- That’s why God builds testimonies in people line upon line… not too much – they must learn to walk before they can run.  They must learn arithmetic before they learn Calculus.  Actually, that’s why time was invented.  A sequential passing of moments experienced one at a time – one moment only giving a hint of what the next moment might bring.  Now, if I were to carelessly reveal myself to you – you would be held accountable for that knowledge.  And at that point, you can’t make mistakes...without serious consequences.  Sometimes the consequences of sinning against pure knowledge is so sever, that there is no recovery.  So by living by faith, you are able to grow into knowledge, so that when you attain it, you are ready for the consequences.

 

I think another reason that God doesn’t like us to reveal ourselves, is because he knows the weak human mind will gravitate to the mystery of HE Insiders and the afterlife, instead of the message he sends to us through his Prophets.  In other words, he knows that people will focus more on the messenger than the message.

Q3 - Prove it!

Q3   Prove it.  If you really are an “Insider”– prove it by telling me something that only an Insider would know!  

I’m looking forward to corresponding with you and letting the Holy Spirit teach you what you’re ready to receive.  However, I won’t be proving anything to you.   While I’ve been given more latitude than most in expressing myself, still I do have a couple of rules I’ve got to follow.

- I’m supposed to stay somewhat mysterious…and not answer too detailed of questions, especially careful to not reveal my location, the location of our entrances to our world, or to reveal the details of our unique technologies.

- I’m supposed to leave reasonable doubt that I am an Insider.   If I prove my status as an Insider by telling you something only an Insider would know for example, then your eligibility for returning to God could be at risk.

- I can’t describe specific future events, give outcomes of sporting events or give out winning lottery numbers etc.

But other than that, I’m pretty free to say whatever I feel is appropriate.

Q2 - Quick Questions to get a grip

Q2 - Your response blew my mind.  Here are a couple of quick questions to help me get a grasp on what you’re talking about.

 

How many Insiders are there?  And how many are living on the outside spying on us – like you?

-          There are approximately 12 billion of us living on the inside of our planet.  Roughly 1,500 of us live on the outside developing ties with key outsider leaders.

-          There’s another 5,000 who protect our entrances from being discovered.  Most of our people serve as laborers.  They work on agricultural farms, factories and plants, while others are highly educated and serve as teachers, inventors, or overseers.  All of us work under the direction of our fathers, doing what they ask of us.  We do this because they are connected with the prophets and leaders of our people.  As we obey our fathers, we obey our God.

 

How old are you?  And why are people so old again?

-          I was born in the year 1625AD.  Which makes me 425 years old.  I know that this is very old in your years.  But for an Insider I am just entering my midlife.  We have a life expectancy of 850-950 years.  Some of our number have crossed the 1,000 year milestone.  They are highly venerated.

 

We age slowly for 4 primary reasons:

-          We live under the rays of a reflective sun, nut under the rays of a yellow star with all of it’s deadly rays.  The radioactive and damaging rays of the outer sun are destructive to DNA and reduce cell regenerative powers.  Without the sun damage, our cells remain healthy and stop aging.  When the earth was created, we all lived under the rays of the yellow sun.  However we were protected by a canopy of water which protected us from the deadly rays.  When God destroyed the earth by having the canopy fall and flood the earth, it exposed all humanity to the sun.  It was only 1,000 years later when God led our people to the entrance to the inside earth wher we have existed in peace ever since.

-          We have 1.000’s of years of evolutionary progress in enhancing the regenerative effects on our bodies by eating right, exercising right, and caring appropriately for our bodies.

-          We respect our bodies.  We avoid death and illness generating activities.  We do all we can to stop doing those things which would kill our bodies.  Positive and negative discipline is employed to maintain a healthy body.  We also do not engage in killing each other.  Our brotherhood is established, and we avoid war through all means possible.

-          We have enough understanding of most illnesses, that we can cure cancer, destroy Aids, etc.

 

Why are you spying?  Why don’t you just come clean and reveal yourself to us?

-          Can you image what would happen if we revealed ourselves to your world.  What do you think they would do?  Their fear of us would escalate to near frenzy.  They would fear that with our new and powerful technologies we would come with intentions of dominating your world.  And your press/media would show us as villians - scaring people to death.  Heroes from amongst your countries militaries would promote, by force, discovery of the locations of our strongholds, seek to extract a knowledge of our technologies especially the ones we are not prepared to share with you. They would first hold our people hostage, then they would torture, then they would declare war.  It’s ridiculous how quickly your people resort to force when our intentions are nothing but noble.

-          We spy as you call it, because we want to reveal only what we are allowed to reveal.  We can reveal only line upon line, precept upon precept as your people are able to handle the new breakthroughs.  Your people are so unstable, if we revealed our technologies to you without your being ready for it, they would be misused to dominate and destroy any who are not like you.  Even turning our technologies back upon us.  So at this time we share with you what we believe you are ready to internalize.

You talked about your patriarchal family…what does that mean?

-          A patriarchal family means that we are organized by families under the direction of patriarchs.  All fathers are patriarchs.  They have planted seeds and then protected, provided for, and presided over the development of their families.  Our fathers are organized into family groups.  They meet regularly with other patriarchs up through the oldest Patriarchs, and seek to gather intelligence of what is coming, and what direction they need to steer their families.  They are outward focused.

-          All mothers submit themselves to the seeds of the fathers, and then bring to reality the creation of the children.  Once born, our matriarchs accept and require the protection and presiding support of their husbands.    Mothers are the nurturers of all living.  They look at the needs and desires of each of their living.  They then seek to encourage and nurture their living to achieve their potential. 

 I hope this is helping you to get a sense of who we are.  Until next time – your brother on the earth.

Zeph

Q1 - Who are you?

Q1 – Who are you?  Where do you live? 

My name is Zephraim (I go by Zeph).   I’m a hollow earth insider. That means that I grew up  on the inside, and then was asked to study your cultures and your ways and so have lived on the outside for some time.  I have learned your languages and have been seeking to understand what is the best and worst of your world.  My primary residence on the outside is in Utah which is where I met you, and determined to invite you into my circle of correspondents. 

 I visit other insiders who are located all over the world, helping them and meet with heads of state, business, religions, etc.  So I’m not in Utah very often.  We currently maintain permanent residences in Utah, New York, San Francisco, Beijing, Tokyo, Bangalore, Nigeria, Moscow, London, Berlin, and any place where a critical cultural  nexus is converging.  On the inner earth I also have a home in the city called Gosh.  That is where my wife and family live. 

When I work and live on the outside, I adjust my appearance so that I am 6’-0” and weigh a portly 250 pounds.  When I live on the inside, I stand about 7 foot 8” tall and weigh a slim 340 pounds.  I guess that’s pretty average by inner earth body sizes. There are some in my world that stand a full 10 feet tall, and others stand less than 7 feet tall.  Anticipating your questions about my size let me just say that, yes we do have the ability to adjust our basic size and hair/skin color.  It isn’t easy, and usually takes a week or so to finish the process…but it is necessary when going back and forth between inside and outside worlds.  I still look the same, I’m just a bit bigger or smaller as the case may be. 

 You’re probably concerned that I am so large normally.  However, you’ve got to remember that we descended from a people who were only one or two generations removed from the perfect bodies created for Adam and Eve, our common father and mother.  Living on the inside of the planet away from all the deteriorating effects of the sun, we have been able to maintain our near perfect body size and strength.  Most of us live nearly 1,000 years each and our health is magnificent.  Your exposed bodies and life spans in comparison are dramatically different – smaller, scrawnier, and more prone to illness and age.

 As far as my appearance, I have a rugged jaw, in-set eyes, auburn hair on top of my head, and a grizzly beard.  On the inside I wear apparel which identifies me as part of my patriarchal family  475 years before we were translated and returned to God.  I lived during the period when God’s people were migrating to Zion near the mountains of Enoch.   I was a scout who helped newcomers who were trying to find their way to the city…avoid the rugged places, and the dangerous people seeking to kill them as they came.  Now I live in a mountain home surrounded by my wives, my children’s families and my parents families.  

Introduction

Questions for Insiders

Whoa!  Stop whatever you’re doing, and check this out.  About 6 months ago, I received an email out of the blue from someone claiming to be a Hollow Earth Insider (someone living on the inside of the earth) who said he had chosen me to correspond with. 

Oh sure, I didn’t believe it either.  I started out asking questions just for curiosity to see what kind of strange answers I’d get back.  At first I was amused.  Then I read some answers that offended me.  So I stopped writing mainly because I thought – nobody has the right to tell me what is right and wrong…to tell me what I SHOULD do.  But the more I thought about it, I had to reconsider, and tell myself – no one had the right to tell me what to do, except perhaps God or his messengers.  So I went back and reevaluated everything he said to me from that perspective, and I was humbled.  I was inspired and became a believer, convinced that there is an Insider on the other end of that internet connection.  How it all works I don’t understand.  But he’s out there, and he has changed my life with his answers.    Now, I’m hooked.  What I’ve placed on this blog is a collection of my best emails from him… I hope you enjoy.

Preface

PREFACE

 2012 is coming fast.  Much speculation exists about what is coming in 2012; End of the  Mayan Calendar,  End of the world,  total polar reversal, Disclosure of Government Secrets regarding UFOs and Hollow Earth inhabitants, Ten Tribe leaders coming forth from hiding and bringing armies with them,  One world government to oppose them.  Collapse of economy leading to one world economy.  Buy and trade using the Beast’s technology.  Wars and rumors of wars. etc. etc.

 The purpose of this blog is explore through fiction one possible end game associated with 2012.

 To those who venture into this creative writing space please remember a couple of things.  First and foremost, remember this is fiction.  That means I’m not putting this forth as truth.  It is a mixture of my beliefs and my outright creative fantasies to try to explain the unexplainable.  If there is any place where it sounds like I think I know something about the 2^nd coming or the events leading up to it, remember, I don’t.  I am making this up as I go.  I take all the best knowledge I have about the nature of life, mix it liberally with the best rumors I hear and the most realistic fantasies I can make, and then try to make some sense out of them on paper.  The Lord said, ‘Neither are my ways your ways, nor are my thoughts your thoughts.’  I think we can pretty well be assured that this is true of the concepts in the story.   Think of this as the view of the Ten Tribes as from an artists’ perspective – not from a doctrinal perspective – and you’ll have it right.

 So why do I take the time to do it?

 ·          It gives me a chance to explore risk-free every question I’ve had about the 2^nd coming, and those elements which will lead up to it… topics I consider to be very important, but which I accept as mysterious and not well revealed.  I believe that other things such as service to your fellow man and covenant-making and covenant-keeping to be of much greater importance than the nature of spirits and heaven.    But a playful consideration of the lesser important topics is fun and can be motivating.

 ·          It helps me recognize the importance of physical covenants and temple ordinances.  It helps me understand our connection to God and his love and reality. 

·          Although in my explorations, I don’t learn the answers, I do get to examine my own heart and the questions that linger there…and there is value in examination.  It helps de-cloak the mystery that gets built up around eternal things.  It helps spur interest in my spiritual nature.  It helps to awaken in me a knowledge about who I am, why I am, and what’s important  in life..  It helps me set priorities.

 Having an unquenchable desire to live with God in his heaven starts by contemplating  and meditating deeply on him and his home.  May this effort cause you to do your own seeking and to help you build your appetite for God, Godliness, and perfection.
