39. Connection with God in Prayer
Posted 12-18-2016

This week has been very busy for me, since I am in the retail online business of selling toys and fun things, and its Christmastime! It has been a challenge at times to keep connected to God in prayer. I have had multiple experiences, however, in connecting with both my Heavenly Father and my Heavenly Mother, that are meant to encourage each of you in your efforts to conn.ct with them. This has been the focus of my interchange this week with my Heavenly Parents. Please read about these experiences carefully, and apply them to your personal life.

I also received more enlightenment on our conscious and unconscious minds, which you will find interesting. I have more information too on the Holy Ghost that may help you.

In all of this, please pray humbly to God and confirm all I say. It takes a quiet, meditative state to connect to God, and all the effort you make is greatly rewarded back to you.

I have lots of Christmas Angel images in this post, since Christmas is now just a week away, and you are all angels! I hope you enjoy them. Merry Christmas to each of you!!

Warmly,
R

'Raphael, the white cloud, or mist which has come off the water and surrounded us, is representative of the difficulties the mortal angels will have when they seek our faces. It is not easy to see us fully. They need to have patience and persistence. You have spent a good part of your prayer this morning, gazing into this cloudy mist at us, eager to see our faces and our eternity eyes. This is the way that our angels should also try. You are in a quiet place, void of noises and distraction. This too is important in their prayers and meditations. This is the path for all. We especially don't want our mortal angels to be discouraged, but to persist in faith. This is the way for them to increase their vibration levels, to be able to fully teleport, and to fulfill their angelic missions. Please encourage them, and pray for them.'

B. R's Personal Journal Entry, 12-10-2016, Saturday

1. Last night in my prayer, I was next to the lake again, where I had been in my morning prayer. The cloudy white mist was still on the lake, but my Heavenly Parents were just in front of the mist. They were clear before me, and well defined in my view. It was like they had barely stepped out of the cloudy mist. They were happy with me, and with my persistence in 'seeing' them.

2. Throughout the day, I had reflected about them in this cloudy white mist. As the day went on, I had seen the fog lifting from their persons, in my mind's eye, until last night they were very clear, even shining somewhat.

I took this gradual change throughout the day as a type of what the mortal angels will experience, as they persist in trying to perceive the faces and eternity eyes of their Heavenly Parents. I prayed for them last night too–that the angels would be given a great desire to see the faces of God. I prayed that they would not faint in this great effort.

3. This morning, I returned to the same position in my prayer. The lake was clear of the white mist, and seemed sunny and bright. I knelt on the shore, facing south again, towards the bluff which was overlooking the lake.

I prayed to my Heavenly Father and my Heavenly Mother. I then saw them standing on the bluff in the distance, on the other side of the lake and up the cliff. I was immediately transported to them! I was still on my knees, but now immediately before them.

4. I thanked them for the great privilege to be before them. I prayed immediately also for the mortal angels, to have a determination to come unto them.

I also remarked that when I had listened to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir CD last night (Love is Spoke Here CD), that most of the songs were about the Savior. I asked them why I didn't see Jesus much anymore–only occasionally, in my meditations and prayers.

'Raphael, your experiences in your prayers provide a pattern of the interaction that we will have with all of our holy angels. They will be before our faces continually, as you are. You are providing the encouragement to the mortal angels to make this leap of faith to come unto us, through our Beloved Son.

6. Each of you has or will come through our Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, in order to come unto us. He cleanses and prepares the souls of our children, by suffering for their sins and weaknesses. He purified you, and sanctifies you, to be able to come into our presence. This is his focus and his mission for our sons and daughters.

7. Once they have been sufficiently cleansed, he introduces them to us. This is spoken in 2 Nephi chapter 31-32, and in John 14:23: 'Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.'

8. For our holy angels, the thing that we desire for them to do, is to press forward with faith in Christ, and come unto us. We are the ones, their Heavenly Parents, who will continue to lead them along. We will give them their directions in all of their angelic ministry, as we have planned. Jesus, our Son, brings them to us. He has work to do with our other children, primarily our elect. This is why he has been absent mostly in all of our interchanges, Raphael. He does occasionally come when we need his presence, like last Sunday when he passed to you the bread and water, in the spirit realms.'

I felt very satisfied and understood this clarification. I thanked him for this enlightenment.

9. Heavenly Mother then asked if I would stand and walk with them. I stood, and she came on my left side, and Heavenly Father came on my right. They put their closest arms around my waist, and held each others' arms behind me. We then all three started walking out in the air above the lake below. I then realized they were giving me further directions. I wasn't privy, however, to what they said to me in my unconscious mind. I asked what they were saying, but I felt, at this time, it wasn't for me to consciously know what they told me. We seemed to fade into the clouds together. My prayer was ended, and I felt at peace.

C. R's Personal Journal Entry, 12-11-2016, Sunday morning

1. Last night I went back to the area above the lake at God's Loving Healing Center. I prayed, and only Heavenly Mother came. She was visibly upset! She said Heavenly Father was upset too, and was away trying to fix things, or remedy the situation.

I asked her if I would be allowed to know the cause of their being upset. It was quite alarming to me! Her visage was very distressed, and she even said that she was not in a position to respond to my prayer.

2. After repeatedly hearing her, and asking if I could come to understand what was upsetting her, here is what she said:

'Raphael, we are pleased with you, and generally with our angels. We are upset with our church members, those of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints! We knew all along this was coming, as we do everything. However, when we are actually in the moment of it upon us, we have feelings more pronounced. This is what has happened now.

3. The members of our church have gotten into a cycle of trusting others, particularly their leaders, without asking us if their leaders are correctly leading them along. This circumvents their salvation and direction from us. There is such a prevalent feeling of 'trusting in the prophet' that they rarely ask us any more what is right!

4. We have given them their own reason, logic, and all their brain capacity to work through any issue they may be confronted with, in prayer before us. However, it is now so rare that our Saints ask us, or seek the truth, or use their mental capacities as they should. Our desire is that they come unto us in prayer, trusting us, and not man, and even their leaders. They are also to use their own reasoning power and faith together, in reaching their conclusions. Their overall behavior in this thing is disgusting to us!

"For behold, it is not meet that I should command in all things; for he that is compelled in all things, the same is a slothful and not a wise servant; wherefore he receiveth no reward.

Verily I say, men should be anxiously engaged in a good cause, and do many things of their own free will, and bring to pass much righteousness;

For the power is in them, wherein they are agents unto themselves. And inasmuch as men do good they shall in nowise lose their reward.

But he that doeth not anything until he is commanded, and receiveth a commandment with doubtful heart, and keepeth it with slothfulness, the same is damned.

Who am I that made man, saith the Lord, that will hold him guiltless that obeys not my commandments?

Who am I, saith the Lord, that have promised and have not fulfilled?

I command and men obey not; I revoke and they receive not the blessing.

Then they say in their hearts: This is not the work of the Lord, for his promises are not fulfilled. But wo unto such, for their reward lurketh beneath, and not from above."

"Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the Lord hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.

The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master’s crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.

Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.

Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.

To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the Lord: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.

When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?

Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.

Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.

And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.

Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;

Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it."

9. Raphael, you have done as we have asked and prompted you. You have not trusted man, or your leaders at church, but have inquired of us, and have confirmed all truth. This is how we want our Saints to act before us. There are many of our elect that are now in this trap, of blindly following and trusting others. We have a plan to upset their world so that they will hopefully change their ways, and come unto us, their God.

10. Oh, I yearn after my children who have been misguided and are not coming to us in meaningful worship, prayer and action! How long can we tolerate this behavior?'

With that, Heavenly Mother was still very upset. I stood and put my arm around her shoulder, and leaned my head onto her shoulder. I felt such understanding and compassion for her!

11. I have been thinking of our interchange a lot since then. I hope I expressed in writing how poignant were her feelings, how distressed she was with her children who ought to act better!

12. This morning, when I prayed on the bluff at God's Loving Healing Center, facing the lake, both Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother came to me. They were composed again, like how they have come normally to me in the past. I asked if what I wrote about Heavenly Mother, and what she said was accurate. Heavenly Mother said it was, and that I had captured her upset feelings. I also confirmed that I should share this experience with the mortal angels.

Today their eternity eyes were at peace, and they were happy, at least with me. Oh, I yearn that their children will come unto them! This is the path to their own peace and direction in life!

13. Later, after the sacrament:

Today I went with my wife to a local ward. We were thinking about cancelling or postponing my upcoming airplane trip to Portland in a week. We had lots of anxiety about being overloaded so much. Our Amazon seller account is going crazy! We had 1900 unshipped orders today–and that is very scary since it nearly exceeds our capacity to fulfill. I needed to be here to help out.

14. Anyway, I had some anxiety when I arrived at church. We arrived just in time for the sacrament. I thought of going, in my minds' eye, to the bluff overlooking the lake. I knelt down there, having my bare legs and feet on the soil, on the ground at the bluff. I also took some deep breaths to help relieve my anxious feelings. That did seem to help 'ground' me quite a bit.

When the sacrament was blessed, it took three times for the Priest to say it right. This gave me more time to concentrate, relax, meditate and pray.

I addressed my Heavenly Parents, and made my covenant. They came quickly, behind me on the bluff. I sensed their presence, and turned around quickly. They were smiling and happy.

15. Heavenly Father addressed me after I partook of the bread:

17. This was exactly what I was experiencing–the tolerance and love from God who had just imbued me, once I had my emotions grounded in that holy place! These were truly the holy courts above, where I was in God's Loving Healing Center. I had regained the presence of my Heavenly Parents, and their glory was all around me!

This was the feeling I had today at the sacrament–that all would be well, and that my Heavenly Parents loved me. I had all my anxieties calmed, and I felt clearness in my thinking, a love for my wife and family, and for all people. I felt right before God too.

18. To close the meeting, we sang 'While Shepherds Watched their Flocks, page 211. Here are the lyrics:

1. While shepherds watch'd their flocks by night,

All seated on the ground,
The angel of the Lord came down,
And glory shone around.
Fear not," said he, for mighty dread
Had seized their troubled mind;
Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and all mankind."

2. "To you, in David's town this day,
Is born of David's line
The Savior who is Christ the Lord,
And this shall be the sign:
The heav'nly Babe you there shall find
To human view displayed,
All meanly wrapped in swathing bands,
And in a manger laid."

3. Thus spake the seraph, and forthwith
Appeared a shining throng
Of angels praising God, who thus
Addressed their joyful song:
All glory be to God on high
And on the earth be peace.
Goodwill henceforth from heav'n to men
Begin and never cease."

Text: Nahum Tate, 1652-1715; based on Luke 2:8-14
Music: Yorkshire carol, ca. 1800

19. I wondered who were the angels, spoken of in the third stanza that night, when they heralded and sang to the shepherds?

We later went to a stake Christmas performance, where all the Christmas hymns in our hymnbook were sung (pages 201-214). There is a lot mention of the herald angels in these Christmas hymns. I believe those angels were proclamation angels, as well as other angels. I believe a lot of us angels also participated by singing at this momentous occasion! I just love thinking about all of this. Someday we'll know in our conscious minds too.

D. R's Personal Journal Entry, 12-12-2016, Monday

1. I awoke early, and had my prayer in the front room by our Christmas tree. I turned on its lights. My wife and son were still sleeping.

I went to the bluff at God's Loving Healing Center, but didn't seem sure of much, of where I was even praying. It seemed foggy out as I knelt on the bluff area. It took me a while of really getting focused to be able to find my Heavenly Parents. They did come in front of me, out of the white fog. They were pleased–for I could see this in their eyes.

After I shared with them the feeling of my heart, I asked them why all of the white fog?

2. Heavenly Mother spoke:

E. R's Personal Journal Entry, 12-13-2016, Tuesday

1. I have been quite tired while working at our business during this Christmas season, particularly yesterday and today. I am trying to get more balanced today. The more I work, and am involved in my working and providing, the harder it seems to get in a relaxing, clutter-free mode in my mind, and to be able to meditate and effectively pray.

This morning I tried to go back to sleep, after awakening. I couldn't do it once my mind started racing. I soon knelt by my bed, and was successful in connecting with my Heavenly Parents. Their eternity eyes were 'happy' with me, and they were smiling.

They were in my bedroom. They were above my bed, next to where I was kneeling in prayer.

2. I had written a healing angel last night, an email about his struggles about Heavenly Mother being the Holy Ghost. He had given words of doctrine from the LDS Church, prophets and apostles. I knew of his struggle.

I confirmed with my Heavenly Parents in my prayer, that what I had written to him was acceptable to them, and was true.

3. I prayed for so many people, particularly the mortal angels in their struggles in their lives. Each of us has major issues it seems, in some way, that give us a real-life mortal struggle. We are celestial, but having a mortal experience.

I also prayed for A., my son, and pled for his healing on December 21st, only 8 days away now. . .

When I was finished praying, having shared my concerns and deep feelings, I asked if my Heavenly Parents had a message for me.

'Our son, your practical approach to life in the future, with your brain-injured son A., is the right approach. Part of the mortal experience we give to our children, is to have difficulties that are not easily resolved or fixed. These trials give our children lots of understanding and growth, that which they could never receive without these experiences. Such is the case with you and your wife and family, in A.'s situation. A.'s healing is left with us, according to our timetable and our wisdom. You should release your expectations of what we may do for his future. Plan for what seems to be reality. If healing comes, embrace it with gratitude. If not, keep hoping, but also living in the reality of your mortal experience.

5. What you have written last night in your email to the angel struggling with me being the Holy Ghost, is pleasing to us. There are many arguments, and quotes, and some scriptures that counter the fact that I am the Holy Ghost. This conflict of evidence is also by our design. We expect our angels to study and weigh all of these factors. Then they need to be very open to our intimations, given by our spiritual promptings to their souls. When they then ask, in the humility and openness of their heart, we will respond to them, giving them the truth that they will know is from us. This will also be a very individual experience. This too is by our design.

6. Raphael, please encourage again our holy, mortal angels to seek us in prayer and meditation. We have many things to share with each of them, and directions on their missions. Our work will move forward!

We desire that they connect with us in their unconscious minds, which their mortal being can't feel or know. They will all be able to unconsciously know our will and fulfill their angelic roles. We also desire them to come to us in their conscious minds. There is more power and ability in our angels who are consciously linked to our direction, than unconsciously. This is why we have repeatedly asked them to come unto us in conscious prayer.

7. We deeply love all our angels! We will help and succor each of our angels, as they put forth effort in coming unto us, their Heavenly Parents.'"

'I am trying to reconcile what the prophets have said versus what you have said regarding the Holy Ghost being Heavenly Mother.

Heavenly Mother is a resurrected celestial being. She can’t be a God otherwise. She has a physical and spirit body inseparably connected. To separate one’s physical body from their spiritual body is called death. Since she is resurrected, she can’t die. Hence, she must have a physical body and a spirit body. D&C 93:33-34 says “For man is spirit. The elements are eternal, and spirit and element, inseparably connected, receive a fulness of joy; And when separated, man cannot receive a fulness of joy.” If Heavenly Mother were to leave her physical body, then she would not have a fullness of joy. She would become less. These points make a case that Heavenly Mother has to have a physical body.

9. Here’s a bunch of quotes that say that the Holy Ghost doesn’t have a physical body. How do I reconcile these quotes with the Holy Ghost is Heavenly Mother? What am I not understanding about the Holy Ghost and/or Heavenly Mother?

10. Mormon Doctrine

The Holy Ghost is the third member of the Godhead. He is a Personage of Spirit, a Spirit Person, a Spirit Man, a Spirit Entity. He can be in only one place at one time and he does not and cannot transform himself into any other form or image than that of the Man whom he is, though his power and influence can be manifest at one and the same time through all immensity. (D. & C. 130:22-23; Teachings, p. 190, 275-276; Gospel Doctrine, 5th ed., pp. 59-62.)

11. D&C 130

"The Father has a body of flesh and bones as tangible as man’s; the Son also; but the Holy Ghost has not a body of flesh and bones, but is a personage of Spirit. Were it not so, the Holy Ghost could not dwell in us.

A man may receive the Holy Ghost, and it may descend upon him and not tarry with him."

12. Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith

"I have always declared God to be a distinct personage, Jesus Christ a separate and distinct personage from God the Father, and the Holy Ghost was a distinct personage and a Spirit: and these three constitute three distinct personages and three Gods. If this is in accordance with the New Testament, lo and behold! we have three Gods anyhow, and they are plural; and who can contradict it?"

13. Gospel Doctrine by Joseph F Smith

"The Holy Ghost as a personage of Spirit can no more be omnipresent in person than can the Father or the Son, but by his intelligence, his knowledge, his power and influence, over and through the laws of nature, he is and can be omnipresent throughout all the works of God.

Now I repeat the Holy Ghost is a personage of spirit, he constitutes the third person in the Trinity, the Godhead."

14. Joseph Smith, Encyclopedia of Joseph Smith's Teachings, edited by Larry E. Dahl and Donald Q. Cannon (Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1997)

"The Holy Ghost is yet a spiritual body and is waiting to take to himself a body, as the Savior did.

15. Joseph Smith, The Words of Joseph Smith, p. 245; Sabbath address, Nauvoo, 27 August 1843. Reported by Franklin D. Rs.

"The Holy Ghost is now in a state of probation which if he should perform in righteousness he may pass through the same or a similar course of things that the Son has."

16. Joseph Fielding Smith, Answers to Gospel Questions, Vol. 5 (Salt Lake City: Deseret Book Company, 1966), 126.

"The Father has a tangible body and the Holy Ghost does not."

17. Discourses on the Holy Ghost, comp. N. B. Lundwall, Bookcraft, Inc., 1959, p. 13.

"That the [Holy Ghost] is capable of manifesting Himself in the form and figure of man," wrote Dr. James E. Talmage, "is indicated by the wonderful interview between the Spirit and Nephi, in which He revealed Himself to the prophet, questioned him concerning his desires and belief, instructed him in the things of God, speaking face to face with the man. ‘I spake unto him," says Nephi, "as a man speaketh; for I beheld that he was in the form of a man; yet nevertheless, I knew that it was the Spirit of the Lord; and he spake unto me as a man speaketh with another."

'I have looked at all of these references in your email, in the past. This has been difficult for me to accept what I have written on my website as well, particularly when replication of a resurrected person like God happens. However, I have seen it repeatedly done. I asked 'how can this be?' Heavenly Mother responded once "because we are God!" I don't understand all, but I do have a witness of replication.

I will try to give some additional insight you may not have thought of also in this email.

19. Similarly, I have received a very strong witness that Heavenly Mother is also the Holy Ghost. To keep her anonymity throughout the ages, there has been some 'doctrine' and even 'scripture', which you have referenced which they have allowed to be written and taught. This they have allowed to be promulgated in order to keep their secret, until the revealing of this truth, now to their angels.

20. God may do as he wishes. Always, though, we need to seek him in humility, and seek the confirmation of the Holy Ghost. If reasoning and logic is only done, and are the main basis on the references you have given, without deep and sincere seeking for the confirmation, one will never receive a witness of the truth that I gave in my last post. I, for one, have received the extremely strong witness from the Holy Ghost (which was given to me by Heavenly Mother) of the truthfulness of these things. I accept on faith my witness, for I do not know the truth of all things, but I trust that all things will gradually be unveiled to me as I prove faithful to my witnesses and directions I receive.

21. Once I 'saw' Jesus at the sacrament table during the sacrament, and then he was also right next to me passing me the sacrament too. He was in both places! I was blown away–and I asked 'how can this be?' The answer was that God has the power to replicate himself. This is new information, that the LDS church and doctrine does not even address. However, I know it to be true doctrine, for I have seen it repeatedly.

22. D&C 93:33 "For man is spirit. The elements are eternal, and spirit and element, inseparably connected, receive a fulness of joy;"

23. This is the reference people use for the spirit and body of a resurrected person to be inseparably connected. They use it as the basis of restricting the spirit, or the spirit-body of the resurrected person from being able to be replicated. I don't think they ever thought of replication, however. This scripture does not say anything about a person's spirit and a person's physical body. It says spirit and element. However, I believe that a resurrected person can replicate either their spirit-physical body, or have their spirit replicated alone as well, and move away from their resurrected body (composed of their physical and spirit body). This has been shown to me time and time again. It is a hard thing to understand. This is how God can access all of us when we pray to him, and can be in multiple places at the same time.

24. One such experience I have had is when I have a full embrace with Heavenly Mother, for example. My spirit, which is not resurrected, and her spirit, which is resurrected, actually are able to co-mingle it seems, and I feel of her spiritual influence. This is exactly the same feeling as the spirit of the Holy Ghost coming upon us and bearing witness to our spirit. This has happened to me during such a Godly embrace.

25. Also, the healing gift called 'God's Loving Focus' has, as a basis, the spirit hand of God which comes inside of the client. How can the spirit hand of God come inside a mortal, if the spirit and body are inseparably connected? The key is that the spirit is replicated from a resurrected God, and is able to go outside of that God into the person for the healing work. I also have a strong witness of this healing gift happening, and had conversations with God while I was being trained on how this works. I have consistently taught it in every one of my classes.

26. Anyway, I suggest that you consider these insights I have written above. One of the basic principles I have been told, is to teach us openness. Sometimes, we get ourselves 'boxed' in by trying to make sense of all the doctrine and quotes that we LDS people use to justify a certain way we look at things. However, if we could gaze into heaven for 5 minutes, all becomes clear and understandable! Joseph Smith said that, and he said it would give more information than all the books ever written about the subject. I suggest to rely on your impressions from the Holy Ghost, and just address God in sincere humble prayer, trying to balance the logic that you have described in your email.

Let me know what you think after you do this meditating and pondering, seeking humbly the truth of these things.

Warmly,
R'

F. R's Personal Journal Entry, 12-14-2016, Wednesday

1. I had some questions today during my prayer about the conscious mind and the unconscious mind of man. Here are my questions and answers from my prayer:

2. Q– Is the conscious mind only separated from the unconscious mind during the mortal experience of mankind?
A– Yes. During the premortal spirit of your progression, before coming to mortality, your mind accessed the conscious and unconscious sections of your mind as one, together and not separated. Once you came to earth with a physical body, there was a veil of forgetfulness. This separated the conscious mind from the unconscious mind, including all the memories of the previous life.

3. The conscious mind became a record of memories from mortal birth. The unconscious mind, however, continued to work, even though it wasn't directly accessible. This constitutes running your autonomic nervous system in your physical body, for example. It is a behind-the-scenes system to keep your physical body operating, plus a host of other functions. These are not conscious, but more automatic. These processes were learned and practiced, so that they became automatic in the mortal body. These run in this way by your spirit. This allows your physical body to operate so smoothly as it does–all controlled by your spirit, which resides in your physical body.

4. The unconscious mind, being the larger operating system of your physical spirit body, can be accessed independent of your conscious mind. This is how God often speaks to man, and how your spirits also communicate with each other. In the conscious mind, such an interaction may be felt by feelings of attraction or warning feelings, or your intuition. However, while in your mortal body, these are not usually clear unless you are in a meditative state. In this state, there is a much closer link between the conscious and unconscious states of the mind.

5. God may communicate to the unconscious state of the mind, without the conscious mind knowing anything about it. This is how God works mostly with the angels living in mortality. God may direct the spirit of the angel, living in mortality, to do certain actions. That person, though mortal, can then act on that direction and do things of all sorts, in their replicated state, in the spiritual realms. This would not be revealed to the conscious mind of that person. Nonetheless, it is all real.

6. The unconscious mind of the mortal angels still know of their identity and their high calling before God as an angel. They might be having a normal mortal experience, and not know who they really are in their conscious mind. This is as it was planned from the beginning.

7. When a mortal person dies, their physical body is laid to rest, and the memory of their conscious experience in mortality is preserved. Also, the memory of their unconscious experience, both in the premortal life, and in their mortal life, is restored. This combining of their conscious and unconscious minds again, may take some time as the awareness and reconnection occurs. Once completed, the post-mortal spirit may access all of the previous memories of their existence to that time. They will then see how they may have acted, or been influence by God in their unconscious state while being a mortal in the flesh.

8. This spirit state, following death and before the resurrection, is still an extension of their probationary state. Some may more readily accept the greater understanding that knowing their unconscious minds affords them. This may make them more receptive to the gospel message. However, many still reject their higher self, and desire works of darkness they learned and practiced in a world of sin in mortality. Their choice is given to them. However, they have the full knowledge of whom they are, from the unconscious minds now being fully revealed to them again, along with their mortal conscious memories.

9. Q– Are all mortal angels able to replicate now, both their spirits, or also in their physical bodies also, now that they are translated and transfigured?
A– Yes. Up to the time of the transfiguration they could only replicate themselves in their spirits. However, now they may do so in their combined physical-spirit being, as a transfigured angel. This is all done in their unconscious state before God. Their conscious mind generally knows nothing about their abilities or actions. They may confirm that they are doing such things by energy testing or prayer. This allows them to access their unconscious mind and find simple answers of what they are doing in that state.

10. The actions of the mortal angels in their unconscious state, is directed by God, both Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother. Again, these actions, done in the unconscious state of the mortal angel, would not be generally known by their conscious mind. In this way, the great work of the angels living in mortality will be performed.

11. Q– Is it a greater privilege to be a mortal angel, living now, when the work of angels is significantly ramped up?
A– Yes! Those angels who are mortal angels now (i.e., living in mortality), have both a greater challenge and a greater privilege and blessing. The challenge is to become aware, in their conscious minds, what they are asked to do, and what they are doing in their unconscious minds. The blessing and greater privilege is that they may be highly active in their angelic missions in their unconscious state, and also in their conscious state. In their unconscious state, once they become aware of who they really are (their angelic ministry, their premortal name and status), they may be able to do lots of their work, in secret, and in their conscious mind. This is a great privilege to act in this way while in mortality. When the mortal angel acts in their conscious state, by serving their fellowman, following the direction God gives them, they have increased capability and power, in the fulfillment of their mission. They know consciously to where they teleport and whom they bless and serve. God also gives them more strength in acting in these situations. The prayer visions you have experienced, Raphael, will be done in your conscious mind while you are a mortal angel. Similar experiences will also happen to those angels in mortality who consciously act in their missions of service as angels. These experiences are among the highest and fullest living a mortal may have on earth.

12. Q– When Jesus Christ suffered for our sins, did he consciously know all that he was doing?
A– Yes! Jesus, was a God, and as such had the ability, at the end of his life, to have no veil over his conscious and unconscious states. He replicated his physical body-spirit body, being fully transfigured at that point. His many replicated bodies suffered for each person, one at a time, all in his full awareness. This action required him to be a God, with full Godly capabilities. He was able to go to each person, see their entire life, whether they were already born in mortality, or in the future. He suffered for their sins and weaknesses as a proxy, thus fulfilling the law of justice in suffering for their sins. He extends to each soul, through the law of mercy, full forgiveness as they come unto him and accept the atonement he offers them. If they fully accept the atonement, they need not suffer, and are also made clean and pure, thereby able to move into the presence of God again. This is how he has saved all mankind who come unto him.

G. R's Personal Journal Entry, 12-15-2016, Thursday

1. This morning I awoke around 8 am. I had worked a lot yesterday and finally got to bed at 1:30 am. When I retired last night, I had a quick prayer, and felt I connected with my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother. I asked if I could have a quick prayer, which they readily agreed to. I went to bed.

2. This morning, I haven't been able to spiritually connect at all! It is distressing to me, and I wonder why? I have a feeling that what I am experiencing is for the benefit of those mortal angels who really haven't yet felt the presence of both their Heavenly Parents.

3. I went to the lake at God's Loving Healing Center, then to the bluff, then to the domed room, then to the river representing Jesus Christ–on the bank looking south towards the tree of life and the temple. I couldn't perceive anything! It was distressing to me! I then prayed in my bedroom, next to my bed. Still nothing!

4. I then realized that I have no power of myself, to imagine any of these places, or my interaction with God. The experiences in my prayers need to come from God, and not from me. I can get myself in a ready state, but I still can't 'demand' to see God! This experience in prayer needs to be two-way: I need to get myself in a position of faith, desiring to come in their presence. Then once I am in this state of desire, and in a meditative-prayerful state, I need to 'wait on the Lord', like a scripture says in D&C 98:2-3:

6. With this attitude, I started my prayer again, on my knees by my bed. I was prayerful and in meditation, with a petition that was waiting upon God.

7. I then perceived they were in front of me! I energy tested and verified, with that means, that they were before me, but I couldn't see them at all, only perceiving their presence. I could tell they were in front of me, in the air–but I couldn't 'see' them. I was trying to see them, but felt I needed to be patient. It wasn't me doing this, but it was their own will that was making this so. I will therefore wait upon the Lord, like the scripture says. It has been over half an hour, now that I have been waiting.

8. I felt I should continue writing, for the process may help someone who is struggling in his or her prayers.

After this time, I then was able to 'see' the eyes of my Heavenly Father! I could tell he was smiling before me, on my left front and I could 'see' the eternity eyes also of my smiling Heavenly Mother! This experience and glimpse, filled me with joy and contentment!

9. I then perceived that Heavenly Mother came in front of me, with Heavenly Father further back. She spoke to my mind:

'Raphael, write the words that I will speak to you', she said. I got my pen and am now to this point in my journal, ready to write:

'Raphael, we have purposefully hid ourselves this morning from you. We did so in an effort to show our struggling mortal angels, through your experience, that we do hear them, and will show ourselves to them spiritually, as we have you, but at the time of our choosing. Our child may pray to us, and we may wait. This is entirely our choice. We cannot be forced to come, or demanded upon, with some threat or feeling of a one-sided agreement that our child may make up. We will come when we will. Our child should petition us, and then wait on us, ever be ready to perceive us, with an eye of faith and hope.

10. Raphael, this journey that you have made in your prayers, has also taken lots of your time and effort. It has been gradual, day-by-day. Remember back in January 2015, when you determined to wait on us, in your prayers, seeking to not speak with us until you perceived our presence? You have faithfully done this now for nearly two years! This persistent waiting until you feel we are near, before you speak, is also a very important attitude. For this long you have come to us, waiting on us. We, on our own volition, have in turn, come to you and have connected, but on our own timetable. We did so, in our wisdom for your greatest growth. We so eagerly wanted to connect immediately, but it would not have been as good for you. Now we feel we can come every time you pray, because this long have we communed together. This has been so pleasing to us, our son!

H. R's Personal Journal Entry, 12-16-2016, Friday night

1. I want to write something down before my thoughts leave my memory. I was praying at 8:20 am this morning, and was then notified that I needed to be at work at 8:50! I ended my prayer abruptly, needless to say. It seemed that my Heavenly Parents understood also the need I had to leave. I then worked an intensive day, got home 10 hours later, and now at 10:40 pm, I am able to write in my journal again.

2. I received an email last night of a meeting in Rexburg, Idaho, where a number of our mortal angels were gathered in one of their homes. I was told that I was there too, which I knew immediately was true. This was in my unconscious state. Also present were Jesus, the other archangels, and our Heavenly Parents.

3. I prayed if I could find out what the meeting was all about. I saw some soberness and sadness a little in the eyes of both Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother. Heavenly Father confirmed with me that the meeting was all about trying to encourage the mortal angels to connect with their Heavenly Parents, so that they would be raised in their vibration level. Jesus is the one to introduce the individual to the Father, and that is why he was also involved in the meeting.

4. The emphasis that God is making on wanting each mortal angel to approach them in prayer, is huge! This is practically the message of every prayer and communication I have received this week.

During my prayer tonight, after I relaxed and wound-down, I felt that both of my Heavenly Parents were pleased that I reconnected today. It takes meditation and relaxing ones body to really connect. If I tried to connect during the day when I was working so hard, I doubt if I could have been able to effectively pray.

5. I also tried to write up my journal entries a little today, in between my hectic times at work. I only was able to do a little transcription writing. I felt bad for not having done more, and in prayer tonight, Heavenly Mother told me it was ok, and to go watch the Christmas movie with my family. She had earlier said to get this post out now. I guess she knew I would suddenly become very busy, for she seemed to plan some relaxing and family time for me today also. Hopefully, I will get the newest post all done tomorrow."
