God placed enmity between Satan and “the woman” specifically. He is so anti woman, he’s had it out for us ever since.

God actually MADE the coats of skins for Adam and Eve HIMSELF. God tends to delegate a lot but he did this himself as a gift to Adam and eve. likewise, the endowment is also a gift and mirrors this.

To bring life into this world, Eve had to choose death in the garden. Which is a symbolic parallel to Gethsemane and the garden tomb. Where death is the only real choice if souls were to be saved.

Satan can only contribute to the exaltation of man by giving the opposition necessary for testing during mortal probation. Satan was simply a tool used to trigger the plan of mortality. Satans ruses are often turned to God’s use

ok so he literally thought white was the superior race and he was “helping” the native Americans by trying to force them to become “civilized”

Eden was a temple for Adam & Eve, and is a prototype for all temples: Gods presence can be found there, they worshipped, learned of ordinances, made sacred covenants, and were sealed together there. We, likewise, enter Eden when we enter the temple, which is why the endowment asks us to picture ourselves as Adam or Eve.

ok so he genuinely thought he was above the natives & was his duty to “convert” them bc they were uncivilized and not Mormon

To stop resisting a negative feeling, you have to allow the feeling to be present, and allow it, without trying to change it. You let it go by relaxing and letting it be there

it had to be a transgression because it had to be a deliberate choice. Adam & Eve couldn’t just be along for the ride and coast their way to the fall. The choice couldn’t be made in ignorance. It had to be completely deliberate.

transgression: stepping across a boundary. sin: contains evil. sin is wrong because of what it is, a transgression is wrong because someone declared it was

when upset, we shouldn’t label ourselves as the feeling. we are “aware we are feeling upset” but we are not upset. we cannot let negative emotions overrule us

I thought Adam named Eve but she was already named by God before she came to the garden of Eden

Brigham & Orson Pratt really went at it ☠️

One of the coolest things Jesus did after some of the apostles were done fishing is he cooked and made a meal for them. Fish and bread. He did this before teaching them.

since your mind is like a computer, repetitive negative thoughts can form a mechanical fixed pattern

Children who have died, their parents will get to continue to raise them in the afterlife into adulthood. Not a day of parenthood will be lost

The power of The Holy Ghost uses varied forces of nature: gravitation, sound, heat, light, electricity, nuclear forces, and other forces so beyond our comprehension

The resurrection is actually an ordinance just like baptism, etc. No one on this earth possesses the keys to perform the ordinance of resurrection. It is speculated since fathers usually do ordinances like baptisms and blessings, that they will also do the ordinance of resurrection for their family when that day comes. It is an ordnance you cannot do on yourself.

so there is a kind of heaven and hell before you’re resurrected. it’s literally divided by a gulf and one side cannot interact with the other. when you’re resurrected you’re either in the spirit world, or spirit prison, where you are surrounded by all of your guilt—it’s unavoidable. these people were so tormented they had no desire to see Jesus after he died and visited the spirit world.

Learned so much about the spirit world. Spirits in the spirit would pray for us and are very busy. There are good and bad spirits. People who die do not immediately see God. They go to the spirit world. Angels are resurrected beings who possess a higher knowledge. The spirit world is this earth, in a different dimension. God is in a completely different location.
