C. R's Personal Journal, August 19, 2018, Sunday
1. I got up early and read my journal entry from yesterday. I sometimes wonder if what I write in weakness will be received well by the faithful who might one day read my words.
2. I then thought of how Moroni must have felt, when he wrote in Ether 12:25-26:
"Wherefore, when we write we behold our weakness, and stumble because of the placing of our words; and I fear lest the Gentiles shall mock at our words.
And when I had said this, the Lord spake unto me, saying Fools mock, but they shall mourn, and my grace is sufficient for the meek, that they shall take no advantage of your weakness."
I felt just like Moroni! My words are indeed written in my own hand, and in my own weakness of the flesh!
3. This morning I came to the lake at God’s Loving Healing Center. I came and sat on the bench on the north side of the lake, facing the lake. I pondered awhile of all the things I had been shown in vision, or had received in my unconscious mind. It is remarkable to me! I have not premeditated any of this. I feel blank now, with no idea what may happen to me anew this lovely Sabbath morning.
I then knelt on the ground next to the little stream that flowed into the lake on my left. I felt clear and ready to commune with God. I asked for my Heavenly Parents to come to me.
Heavenly Father then appeared at the top of the switchback path on the hill to my right, or west side. He started to float in the air directly to me! He was soon between me and the lake, still a little elevated in the air.
I gazed into his face. His eternity eyes were soft and tender, and seemed so deep and all knowing! He waited until I had looked on him for some time, taking in the magnificence of his being into my mind and memory!
4. Heavenly Father then spoke to me:
'Raphael, we will make your words you write in weakness become a source of consolation and peace to our faithful who read and ponder them. We will send our Spirit, the light of truth, from our very presence, to accompany your words when the humble and open read them. As they sincerely ask us, we will confirm the truth you write about to witness to their inner souls by an increase of our light. They will honor you and respect you for your efforts.
This morning I would like to continue recounting the events of our first parent Gods when they were still planning how they would create two periods of probation for their future children.
5. The first man and the first woman Gods had designed their own bodies to have the ability to create their own offspring. They did this by their superior intellect and they did it because of their selfless desires to bless other intelligences around them to be able to become like them. They neither had desires to control other intelligences, or to in any way subjugate them. They developed a great desire to share and tenderly bless the other intelligences that they felt would one day somehow become like them.
6. This attitude and feeling they called the love of God. They wanted only those who could ultimately become like them to be imbued with this same love they possessed. They realized that at some future time there might be some intelligences that would be clothed in a body of their same form, but would have no feelings of love for the other intelligences. They could imagine some who might try to take advantage of another and want to control them somehow.
7. This entire new view they considered made them quite uncomfortable. They therefore planned into the states of progress of their future offspring ways to test their children's true desires to either love or control other intelligences. They devised two states of probation: a spirit only state in a celestial environment, or highest place where they themselves would be visible and present; and a physical and spirit state where they would not be visible and where it would be a lesser, more coarse environment of lesser light. These would be the two probation states of their future children.
8. If their children passed the first probationary state, they could then proceed to the second estate of testing. If they successfully navigated through the second phase of testing, then they would qualify to become even like themselves, with all of their capacity of creation and joy.
"And we will prove them herewith, to see if they will do all things whatsoever the Lord their God shall command them.
And they who keep their first estate shall be added upon; and they who keep not their first estate shall not have glory in the same kingdom with those who keep their first estate; and they who keep that second estate shall have glory added upon their heads for ever and ever."
10. Once these two probationary estates of their offspring were devised, they then felt the need to create a system of justice, or right and wrong. They wanted all things and actions they themselves did to be good, or inherently fair that could be sensed as good by every intelligence in the vast expanse of space. They set up standards of justice, of order and basic rules of conduct they would follow by themselves. They reasoned how could they act one way and expect their offspring to act any different. They set a standard of godly conduct that they would follow and teach their future offspring. This was all based on their Godly love that they keenly felt for their fellow intelligences.
11. They decided that they would judge the behavior of their future offspring in their probationary estates based on their rules of justice, of right and wrong. They then wanted all their actions in the estates of their offspring to be very just and fair, so that none would be able to question their intentions or conduct. They realized that if their children made mistakes, there would need to be a way to forgive and repair these so they could keep progressing. It wouldn’t be fair if they were forgiven of mistakes or sin without justice needing to be met. Justice required a punishment of their sin before they could move onto more light and progress.
12. During this consideration, they decided to choose a choice intelligence that they were assured would have great love and would strictly follow them. They would have this intelligence be like the first male god, who had attributes of strength of body, protection and love.
13. They called this intelligence the Redeemer, for he would suffer for the sins or mistakes of other weaker intelligences, and thus the justice of God would be satisfied. This Redeemer would be perfect and not have himself fallen from the demands of justice. Therefore, if he forgave the one who sinned, and also suffered for their sins, then they could together be made as though no sin had ever happened. This would allow the sinner to continue to progress and be tested in the probationary states, and ultimately come back to the first Gods in their celestial presence. It would be fair to everyone that they could then come back clean and pure, since the demands of justice had been met.
14. All of the work and suffering of the Redeemer would be based on the love of god that the first Gods had in abundance.
These were all the plans and designs of our first parent Gods, Raphael, even before they chose to have their own offspring. You can see that they wanted to fully establish a system that would be foolproof and meet their desires.
Your Heavenly Mother and I will come again soon and explain more of the plans of our first parent Gods in the beginning. We feel it is important for you to know the basics of how our first Gods established all things in the beginning of man.'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his understandable concepts and words! I so love to receive the revelations of God, even while in the flesh! I then closed my prayer for I knew he wanted to give me no more now, and that he wanted me to ponder on his words before he gave me more. I then started my Sabbath day.
15. After church– During the sacrament, I felt to go again to God’s Loving Healing Center, to the lake where I had knelt this morning. On the last verse of the sacrament hymn, I saw Jesus Christ, my Redeemer, at the top of the switchback! He stood there while we finished singing the hymn. Just before we finished, my Heavenly Parents came next to Jesus on each side of him. They were all facing me. I seemed to be able to zoom up close to them. I saw the details of their faces.
16. After I partook of the bread, I made my covenant with my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother. Heavenly Father responded to me:
'Raphael, your Heavenly Mother and I accept your covenant. Our Beloved Son is our chosen Redeemer from the beginning of this eternity. He has ransomed all of our children who have or will come to earth, by suffering for their sins and weaknesses. We have chosen other Redeemers for other eternities in the past, who were born in that eternity.'
The water was then blessed and passed to the congregation in the ward.
17. Heavenly Mother then spoke:
'Raphael, our first parent Gods also chose a Redeemer son for each of their eternities. For their first eternity, their Firstborn Son in the spirit was the Redeemer of that very first eternity of all the gods. He was obedient and fulfilled everything that our first parent Gods asked him to do. He suffered during his mortal life and died for the sins and weaknesses of all his mortal brothers and sisters who came or would come to his earth.'
I then felt I was somehow taken in a vision with my three Gods next to me, looking on this chosen Redeemer for the very first eternity!
18. We saw the birth of this first Redeemer as an infant spirit. We saw him next as a grown spirit accepting his call as the chosen Christ. We saw him later on his earth, in his own mortal experience, ministering to the people. I saw that he suffered and died for all of their sins and weaknesses. We saw he was resurrected. I saw judgment and great tears of joy for the righteous. This entire vision included short highlights of his life.
19. I finally saw that this first Redeemer went on to receive his own kingdom of glory with his chosen spouse, and they became a couple god. I saw that they are still having joy in their creations and posterity, just like all the rest of the gods.
I saw that the pattern set by this first Redeemer and our first parent Gods was followed by all the subsequent gods. The vision then closed and my sacrament meeting on earth continued with the speakers. I then lost track of all that I had seen in heaven.
20. In the evening- After I returned home, I just finished transcribing my pocket journal from church today. I have thought about this vision experience I had, in seeing the first Redeemer of all, and little glimpses of his life in that first eternity. I was amazed that such great little visions were opened to me! I saw the various snapshots of his life in fairly rapid succession, all during the sacrament. I marvel how I could receive all that I saw in so short a time. I feel so very grateful for these wonderful and meaningful views of eternity! My perspective has entirely changed about eternity and the beginning of man.
Tonight I came to the top of the switchback path where I had last been with my Heavenly Father, Heavenly Mother and Jesus Christ, my personal Redeemer. I knelt on the path and asked my Heavenly Parents to come to me.
21. My Heavenly Mother came to me from the path, coming from the domed room! I saw her come to me and then she placed her hands on my shoulders. She smiled at me and spoke:
'Raphael, you have had a unique visionary experience with us, your Gods, today at the sacrament. We have showed you events of the very first eternity where the life of the first god's chosen Redeemer of that eternity was shown to you. This was real, Raphael! You saw what we wanted you to see in your unconscious mind. You have correctly written about what you perceived in your conscious mind.
22. We have shown you in the past few days our first parent Gods creating light matter for the first time. We showed you how they planned the progression of their children to one day become like them. We showed you today their first child, their chosen Redeemer of all their children that would come forth on their mortal earth for that eternity. These are great truths never before revealed to man on the earth, Raphael, excepting to our own chosen Redeemer, Jesus Christ.
23. Once our first parent Gods completed their first eternity, they fulfilled their plan to create worlds of various glories, places of reward, for their children. They had divided the various degrees of glory into three divisions. We have continued this same practice in all of our creations and eternities. We call these celestial, terrestrial and telestial glories.
There was a Satan and his followers also in that first eternity. All of these received no kingdom of glory, but were banished forever as single separate intelligences in darkness, just like we continue to do now.
24. The first Gods then chose to start a new second eternity like the first. There were little changes from the first eternity, for they had thoroughly planned out in detail all of this before taking any action and it all happened as they planned. Thus had the gods started the family of the gods from which we have descended. This is the same pattern we continue to do!'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her words. I felt such honor and love for my Gods for these great revelations! I closed my prayer and told her I loved her so very much!
D. R's Personal Journal Entry, August 20, 2018, Monday
1. This morning I awoke early to have my personal prayer. I came to the desert oasis. I am still pondering over the things I saw and received about our first Gods and their first eternity. It all seems so remarkable to me how this all happened! While I was pondering while sitting on the bench in front of the desert oasis, my Heavenly Father appeared in front of me! He was smiling and seemed warm and accepting, and so magnificent! I slipped onto my knees before him on the sand.
2. He then spoke to me:
'Raphael, I wish to continue showing you the pattern of the gods that was set by our first Gods. Once they had made light and planned how they were going to do all things, they then chose to create their home in heaven. It was the first orb or planet they had created, for before that moment there were no stars, planets, or any heavenly orbs.
They followed the sequence of creation as recorded in your scriptures as described in the Book of Abraham chapters 4-5.
3. Abraham 4:1
"And then the Lord said: Let us go down. And they went down at the beginning, and they, that is the Gods, organized and formed the heavens and the earth."
4. Raphael, the first Gods created the heavens, which consisted of their first celestial orb on which they lived as celestial resurrected beings. They created this before they begat offspring, for they wanted a place first to bring forth their children. This was a very large orb, similar in size to our own celestial creation or orb. They created it first spiritually so that it did not yet have any physical matter, but spirit matter. This was more refined matter.
5. They then created the spirit plants and animals on this celestial orb, following the sequence in the scriptures. At the end of the spirit creation, when all was prepared, they created their own offspring. Their first child was to be the male Redeemer of the subsequent children they would bear in that eternity. These children grew up from their infant state to fully-grown spirit sons and daughters of these, our first Gods. They were all on a spirit heaven at that time, for everything had been created spiritually and none had physical bodies except for our first parent Gods who were resurrected with spirit and physical bodies.
6. Once they had birthed all of their children for that first eternity, our first parent Gods announced their plans to create an earth. They explained the details of their plan to test their children to see who would be obedient to them in their fallen state, on a physical earth. They wanted their faithful children to become like them, gods in eternity. They announced their chosen Redeemer who would have a critical role to suffer for the sins and weaknesses of all the rest of their children. There were some who dissented and were angry. Their leader became the Satan of that first eternity.
7. Our first parents then created an earth where their children could dwell. Their earth was created exactly in the same pattern as the earth upon which you live, Raphael. It was created spiritually before physically.
8. There was a point that Satan was cast out of heaven for rebellion, along with those who followed him and his ways. They were cast into the spirit earth, out of the presence of the first Gods and their other children.
9. The sequence of creating the first man and woman on that earth followed the same pattern and method as occurred on your own earth, Raphael. This earth was created first spiritually, and then naturally or physically to a telestial then a terrestrial state, even before man was placed on its surface. Our first celestial parent Gods came to this physical earth and bore their first physical children, their Adam and Eve of that eternity. They grew up as children until fully grown physically on that first earth. Satan had been previously cast to that earth and was then allowed to tempt the man and the woman. They fell by succumbing to the temptations of the devil, and earth also fell from its terrestrial state to its fallen telestial state. All of this followed the same pattern that we used in creating man on your own earth.
All of this while the celestial heaven was only in a spirit state and had not yet become physically created. There were, however, a physical earth, moon and a sun, along with a few planets for the solar system.
10. The first heaven wasn't physically created until their first Redeemer was resurrected, having lived a sinless life on the fallen earth. When he was resurrected, the first Gods then created the physical heavens for the first time. This then became the abode for the first Gods and their first Redeemer, plus those who were resurrected at the same time as the first Redeemer. Even the first heavenly orb was resurrected into celestial glory by virtue of the atonement of the first Redeemer. All creations of our first Gods were resurrected by the virtue and atonement of their first Redeemer, except for themselves.
11. The first earth continued from that time to be a telestial body until the days of the millennium where Satan was limited so he could not tempt mankind and the earth became a terrestrial body. At the end of the millennium, the first earth died and was resurrected by the power of the first Redeemer, so that the demands of justice could all be satisfied, not only for the children of God but all of the creations of God, including the earth and the heavens.
12. The first earth then came near the abode of God, the first celestial orb, and it remains there even today. Your Heavenly Mother and I have chosen to follow this same pattern and sequence in the creation of our own heavenly orb and the multiple earths we have created since our own first earth we created. Our celestial heavenly orb was at first created by us in a spirit state and then became resurrected after our own first Redeemer was resurrected. It has remained in that state since then as a glorious celestial heavenly orb.'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for this expanded view of the way that our first Gods created all things and how Heavenly Mother and he followed this same pattern of creation. It all became more and more clear as he explained it to me. I feel so grateful for his revelations!
I knew my time in prayer was ended. I looked into the face of my Heavenly Father as he started to fade away and I was soon alone at the desert oasis. I closed my prayer and started a new day!
13. Evening–I had a question tonight about what I had received and written this morning. I wrote that the first heavenly orb was resurrected by virtue of the atonement of the first Redeemer. I had thought that that the first Redeemer and all other Redeemers or Christs since, only atoned for the children of God and not the other creations. I hope my Heavenly Parents will answer this question for me.
This is the scripture I use to base my view:
14. 2 Nephi 9:21
"And he cometh into the world that he may save all men if they will hearken unto his voice; for behold, he suffereth the pains of all men, yea, the pains of every living creature, both men, women, and children, who belong to the family of Adam."
I then came to the celestial realms on the earth, next to the grassy area and little stream I have come next to before. I felt clear from my head to my feet. I then asked for my Heavenly Parents to come. Heavenly Mother then came over the small hill and walked right up to me!
15. She spoke to me:
'Raphael, we have shared many new revelations with you over a short time. We only showed you summaries or short views of some of the things you saw and that we shared with you.
Your question is a good question. Every Redeemer, or Christ, since the beginning, has suffered willingly for the sins and weaknesses of the children of God who have or would come forth into mortality. In addition, the great Redeemer of every eternity is the one through whom the gods create and resurrect all of their creations, including plants, animals, earths and any new orb in the sky. We each do this to have this Redeemer be the one through whom all our children and all our creations progress. This honor is because of the atonement, or the ultimate sacrifice of this Savior for every mortal human being.
16. For our first creation, when we first became a couple God, our first Redeemer was the one through whom we resurrected our celestial orb in the beginning. Since that celestial resurrection of our heavenly home, we no longer had the need to have any other Redeemers of subsequent eternities do this since it was already done before.
17. The Redeemer of each eternity does not suffer for the devils that disobey and follow Satan. If there are those of the devils who repent and subsequently come to the light of their Savior, he will accept them, having suffered already for their sins and weaknesses. In the foreknowledge of God, we all three Gods know who of all of our children will ultimately repent and receive the need for the atonement of their Savior. He only suffers once, and when completed does not suffer for the sins of any individual in the future, after he is resurrected. This ability to know who will come to mortality by the end of the earth is known only by God, through our foreknowledge.'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her clear answer and for the further understanding I received on the power of the foreknowledge of God. I then watched her as she smiled and said that this was enough for tonight. She said she loved me, then turned and walked back over the hill from whence she came.
I closed my prayer and got ready for bed.
E. R's Personal Journal Entry, August 21, 2018, Tuesday
1. I have thought more on the role of the Redeemer or Christ of each eternity. Here is the next scripture I wanted to now resolve...Jehovah talked to Moses from the burning bush. He spoke as if he were the Father (I assume using what is known as the divine investiture of authority). We know he who spoke was the great Redeemer, even the future Jesus Christ, for he spoke to Enoch in the same way–see Moses 7:53).
2. Moses 1: 32-33
"And by the word of my power, have I created them, which is mine Only Begotten Son, who is full of grace and truth.
And worlds without number have I created; and I also created them for mine own purpose; and by the Son I created them, which is mine Only Begotten."
3. Also Moses 2:1
"And it came to pass that the Lord spake unto Moses, saying: Behold, I reveal unto you concerning this heaven, and this earth; write the words which I speak. I am the Beginning and the End, the Almighty God; by mine Only Begotten I created these things; yea, in the beginning I created the heaven, and the earth upon which thou standest."
4. I am still a little confused with the wording here, where God says all things were created by the Son–does he mean "Sons" or all the Redeemers or Christs of previous eternities, including all the gods back to the first parent Gods?
I came today to the beautiful circling waters in Heavenly Mother's upper garden. I knelt in front of the bench facing the water to the south. I asked for my Heavenly Parents to come.
Heavenly Father came immediately to me, standing just above the water! He was majestic, and full of light and power. His visage was happy and I felt so assured in his presence.
5. He spoke:
'Raphael, our first Gods set a pattern to have their Firstborn Son to be the great Redeemer for the eternity they were currently involved in. They did all things through their Beloved Son. He was beloved because he was fully obedient, and he willingly sacrificed his life by suffering for the sins and weaknesses of all his brothers and sisters who came to their earth. Through him, the parent Gods would do all things required for that eternity.
6. When referring to all other creations, from all other eternities, we Gods refer to them being created by our Son, even the many Redeemer sons we have chosen for the many eternities. The current Redeemer fills the office and calling of the Messiah, shared by all of these Redeemers from all the eternities of all us many gods. We refer to all the creations in the entire universe as being created by the Son, meaning the Redeemer of each of the many eternities of all the gods, for that is the office and calling of the current Redeemer or the current Son of God.
7. We also allow our Son, who is the current Redeemer, to speak as if he were I, the Heavenly Father of our galaxy, and also represent all the gods of the great universe. He speaks sometimes as if he were the Heavenly Father of all the many couple gods back to the beginning first Heavenly Father of our first parent Gods.
We do this so that our children may know it is through their own current Son of God that their eternal salvation is dependent upon. He is their only path to an eternal reward in eternity. It is through him only that we, their Heavenly Parents Gods, will accept them back into our presence. He it is who has our full power and authority for all creations in that current eternity.'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his clarifying words! I feel so clear now on all of this!
8. Heavenly Father further spoke:
'Raphael, there may be times too that we have you, or a prophet of God, or any one of our children, speak in our name. Whether by an angel or a prophet, or a child, we may speak through these as they are moved upon.
When you speak to the people under our inspiration, as if you were God, or in behalf of us your God, it is the same as if we ourselves speak. You are, of course, not God, but are our steward and servant, speaking under our inspiration and full direction, as we pour out upon you our heavenly light, our Spirit. In this state, you speak the word of God in great power and authority, even as our spokesman and mouth.'
I replied:
9. 'Father, I am humbled to receive thy words, thy revelations! I will only speak in thy name as I am directed to do so, and am inspired by the Spirit. I feel so assured of the many truths I received from thy mouth, and from my Heavenly Mother and my Redeemer! I submit myself as thy humble servant, willing to act and speak and write as I am directed.'
Heavenly Father smiled, and the light of his countenance literally lit up my being, for I was filled with his Spirit he sent to me from his presence! He then departed up into the sky above until he had gone.
I knelt down by my recliner and confirmed all he had spoken to me. I feel at peace and very happy. These are good signs!
I then started a new day.
10. Evening– I had a question from one of the earlier posts, post 61, where Heavenly Father had answered a question about where Lucifer would end up. Here was the answer from my entry on Oct. 29, 2014, Sunday:
From Heavenly Father:
'Lucifer will be returned to the location where he was chosen as an intelligence. His spirit will be stripped from his intelligence and his primeval intelligence will go back to his original place, with a mark on it. He will also soon thereafter have a destiny with all of the other fallen and stripped intelligences, apart from all of the unchosen intelligences in the universe, and all elemental matter too. From the time we place Lucifer back into his location from where we chose him and then set a mark on this location, he will then be required to migrate to a location with all of the other rebellious intelligences, apart from all other unchosen intelligences. This migration will happen to all those with a similar destiny. Their final destiny and location will be single and apart, yet within a certain confined location together where God will never visit. This destiny has neither light nor connection with the rest of the universe that is filled with intelligence, elements, and God's creations.'
11. Q1: My question–When the gods visit once in every eternity the darkness between the galaxies where Lucifer and his evil intelligences migrate to from their original place they were placed in by our Heavenly Father at the end of the eternity, is this incongruent with the answer that the gods never visit the final location where Satan is confined? I am just a little confused on the exact process that happens.
Q2: M.A. had a couple of questions about how Heavenly Mother determines whether a child will be born in the spirit form or in a physical form? She wondered if it was depending on how much light she gives to her fetus in her womb? Or is there some other principle involved? (This question was asked since Heavenly Mother's offspring may be born in spirit form (in the premortal life) or in the physical form (including Adam, Eve and Jesus Christ).
Q3: She also wondered if there had been any other people resurrected since the time of Christ's resurrection up to the present time.
There are other questions but I can address these later. I'll see what happens tonight, if they answer any or all of these questions.
I came to the circling waters tonight for my prayer. I came above the waters on the little bluff to the east. I faced the waters looking west. I asked for my Heavenly Parents to come.
My Heavenly Mother came from her lower gardens, rose up over the waterfall and then came in the air directly in front of me! She was smiling and was beaming with a happy countenance and light!
12. She spoke:
'Raphael, I am glad you were able to listen to past posts you have published. It is important to continue to keep abreast of what you have received. There is a great amount of revelation that we have given you.
13. I will answer your three questions tonight:
A1: About the demise of Lucifer: We will take Lucifer and all his evil spirits to the same location from where they were originally chosen. We will remove their spirit element so that their primeval intelligence remains. They will then be placed in this same location where we chose them originally, with a mark on that location. We will then initiate a migration for their intelligence to travel to the designated darkness between the galaxies that we have chosen. Lucifer and the other wicked intelligences will have no choice, but will move to this darkness in space. We actually don't go to that darkness location ever, but to the location in space where they were originally chosen to be our child as an intelligence. When we said we go to this darkness once every eternity, the darkness referred to the dark space where their intelligence had been initially chosen by us, their future Heavenly Parents.
The migration to the dark isolation where no light penetrates, even from a visit from the gods, is akin to a slide or a chute that takes their intelligence from their place of origin to their final destiny, where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched, which is their torment. (see D&C 76:44-48)
14. A2: About how I determine a spirit child from a physical childbirth: All of my children who are born from an intelligence become spirit children. Their intelligence enters into my womb from your Heavenly Father, and does not have any elemental matter or spirit matter accompanying it.
For those children who are born physically, like Adam, Eve, and Jesus Christ for this eternity, the seed from the Father contains the grown spirit of the individual, sized down to accompany his holy sperm into my womb. The spirit is one of our previously birthed intelligences into our spirit child. The spirit child has matured to his/her full stature. Since the spirit has the capability to reduce to any size required, this is how these spirits enter into my womb in a very small spirit stature. These spirits accompany the holy seed of the Father into my womb. They grow as I add physical elemental matter to their spirit, and the spirit continues to expand to the same size, as is the fetus. When I birth these physical babies, their spirit is exactly the same size as is their body. The spirit and body continue to grow in size together until the physical body reaches its full stature. This is the size of the full spirit's stature as well.
Raphael, this same process is similar to conception for our mortal children on earth. The spirit from our premortal realms enters into the mother from the father and accompanies the physical sperm into her womb. The spirit is the same size as is the small fetus, and grows until birth as a physical baby, and continues growing until the full stature of the mature adult. This same pattern of conception also occurs for animals where there is a male and female in that species.
15. A3: About the resurrection: There have been a few persons who have been resurrected since the general first resurrection at the time of Christ's resurrection. These have been few, and are allowed to occur because of their mission. The angel Moroni was one who was resurrected after the resurrection of Jesus Christ and before the second coming when there will be another resurrection of the righteous. To find out if someone has been resurrected during this span of time, based on their mission, one might diligently inquire of us in prayer.'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her answers. I was especially enlightened by the answer to the second question. I feel these are all truly given from my Heavenly Mother to me by revelation.
She smiled at me and told me my time in prayer was completed tonight. She asked me to return to this small outcropping tomorrow and she would answer my additional questions that the mortal angels had asked me. She then returned in the air to her lower garden from where she came. I closed my prayer and got ready for bed.
F. R's Personal Journal Entry, August 22, 2018, Wednesday
1. This morning I awoke and came again to the outcropping above the circling waters. I felt very clear and knelt in prayer. I expect that the additional questions I received will be answered this morning. I will give them here before I begin.
Q4: Heavenly Mother said that as celestial Gods and Goddesses, they feel more love for their children. My question is do the telestial and terrestrial people feel love or concern for others in their kingdom?
Q5: In the book, "Visions of Glory", Spencer talks about portals as means of travel. Are these portals made of light?
I next prayed for my Heavenly Parents to come to me. I then saw light coming from the lower gardens, over the waterfall and directly to me in the air again. Heavenly Mother was before me in the air again! She looked glorious and stunningly beautiful and happy, like she was last night when she came to me!
2. Heavenly Mother then spoke:
'Raphael, I am glad to answer your questions from the mortal angel who had sent them to me.
A4: Love is present in great abundance in the hearts of our children in the celestial world. There are decreasing amounts of love in the telestial and terrestrial worlds, for it had to be nurtured in their life in the premortal life and also on earth. The reason these, our children, are restricted and placed in these lower realms of glory is because they were not as faithful and didn't receive the light and love of God that we sought to shower upon them in their mortal lives. However, they did receive some light and love. They carried this with them into their eternal place of glory:
3. D&C 130:18-19–
"Whatever principle of intelligence we attain unto in this life, it will rise with us in the resurrection.
And if a person gains more knowledge and intelligence in this life through his diligence and obedience than another, he will have so much the advantage in the world to come."
4. Those who filled themselves with love by serving and caring for others in mortality will retain that love in the next world. Remember, those who receive a terrestrial glory are "the honorable men of the earth" (see D&C 76:75), receiving of our glory but not of our fulness (see verse 76). There is a significant amount of light and love in that kingdom, but not to a fulness, even as the difference of the moon in glory compared with the sun. The telestial also has light and love, but to a lesser degree, even as the stars differ in glory than the moon and sun in glory. Even in the telestial glory, there is sufficient love, consideration, gentleness and the general Christian values so that civility and peace continues in that society.
5. Q 5: Question about portals: A portal is a gift we give to each of our children who come to mortality. It remains with them without normally being seen in their life. Once they die, it brings the spirits of our children into their next phase of progress. It is also the means of them at any time connecting to us in prayer. You were able to come into this celestial world immediately by use of your portal that we have activated to a celestial glory, so that you have access into our kingdom.
6. These portals are made up of light and elemental matter. They have no intelligence, however, but are used by your individual spirit for access to us, your Gods, and for travel to the different realms. They are also used by us to connect with our child. They continue with our child into the resurrection and into their assigned glory they attain to in the resurrection.
These portals are only given to those spirits who come to a mortal experience. The devils that were cast into the earth for rebellion have no portals since they never received a mortal physical body.
7. Our spirit children who came to earth were trained in the use of their own portal before being allowed to come to earth. Their portal is controlled by their spirits, and because of their knowledge, when they die, their spirit knows how to use their portal to bring them into the world of the spirits.
Portals also are assigned by us, who are their gods, to a given level of access. Those in the spirit world who receive the valid ordinances to enter into the paradise of God have their own portal elevated to a terrestrial glory, and therefore may come into that elevated terrestrial sphere in the spirit world where the devils may not enter.
8. In eternity, our child who attains a telestial glory has his/ her portal activated to a telestial glory. They do not have access to places of higher glory unless they would be quickened to a higher state by one possessing that higher glory. Quickening is temporary, and after they would return to their normal state of glory.
Those who attain a terrestrial glory have their terrestrial portal capable of visiting a lower telestial world and their own terrestrial world. However, they would need to have been given an assignment and access to travel to that other kingdom. If assigned, they travel there by use of their own portal.
9. Those who dwell in the celestial glory have full access to their own domain. They, too, may visit other worlds of lesser glory, depending on the need or an assignment. Those who become exalted are able to freely travel in their own domain, as they desire. They, too, may visit and travel across the light matter by virtue of their own celestial portal. All those who are resurrected to a celestial glory have their portal continue with them into eternity as a permanent part of their living.
10. When traveling across the light matter to a distant location, the celestial portal is used. It consists of light and matter, and brings the celestial being instantly to his/her desired location. The control of their celestial portal is learned at first by the celestial being, just like in the beginning when they received their portal at first. The capability of celestial portals is far greater than portals of lesser levels. Celestial portals may also be the means of quickening those of a lower order to receive the presence of a celestial glory, even the glory of God. All of this activity is learned once the individual receives a celestial resurrection and also more capability when ordained to become a God or Goddess in eternity.'
I thanked my loving Heavenly Mother for her clear answers today! They all have been very enlightening to me, and will hopefully be so to others who read and ponder them.
Heavenly Mother then started backing up, going back to her lower gardens. Soon she was gone. I then closed my prayer and returned to myself in my adjacent bedroom. I got ready for the new day.
11. At night– Tonight I came to the fountain of living water. I walked around it and looked around at the calm and beautiful world. I felt clear and happy. I knelt facing the door of the temple, just on the south side of the fountain. I asked for my Heavenly Parents to come to me. I then saw the temple doors open and both of my Heavenly Parents came walking from inside the temple to me. They were both smiling and radiant with light!
12. Heavenly Father spoke to me:
'Raphael, you have talked with your wife tonight about how quickly you change once you come as a child into mortality. You told her that even as an adult, the change due to the aging and maturing process is very dramatic from young adult to old age. The change from infant to adult is very dramatic also. During this entire mortal experience, the spirit of the individual stays inside their body boundaries, whatever size it is. The spirit adjusts to the size of the body it fills and does not exceed the boundary of the physical body.
13. You were surprised at the ability of the spirit to go to the size of a single sperm cell as it is placed into the womb of the mother. There is no size too small or too large for the spirit of man to adjust to! You have done energy work in the past where an evil spirit was confined to the tiny organ of the pituitary of its mortal host. This evil spirit went undetected in this organ for years. There have also been some of our children whose mortal bodies were very large in stature. Their spirits were naturally not so large, but nonetheless conformed to the full stature of the larger physical body.
When resurrected, the stature of the grown spirit will be the final size of the stature of the final resurrected body. However, in the mortal state, there may be short people or very large people whose spirit may naturally be of a different height. This discrepancy will be corrected in the resurrection.
14. When our mortal children are resurrected, they are resurrected in the state that they died. If a child, they will be raised in the resurrection as a child, and then grow into an adult in the resurrection, at their prime. If our mortal child dies in their old age, they will be resurrected in the state their body died, as an old person. Once resurrected and appearing as an older person, they will gradually change to conform to their size, stature and look of their spirit, in their prime condition.
15. The resurrected person may also appear as needed in disguise at times. This is a capability also of celestial resurrected and translated persons. We allow disguise to come in order to fulfill a particular assignment, which is approved or assigned from God.
The angel Moroni appeared to Joseph Smith while walking on the road to Cumorah. In "Visions of Glory", Spencer talks about seeing himself disguised as a translated being to fulfill an assignment. Such is the capability of celestial resurrected individuals and translated individuals.'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his words and for both of them coming to me here at the fountain of living water. I sensed this was what I was to receive tonight, so I thanked them for coming and closed my prayer. I then felt myself falling from the celestial world back to my mortal telestial state. I felt in awe of how this all comes to me! I then got ready for bed.
G. R's Personal Journal Entry, August 23, 2018, Thursday
1. Last night I told my wife when we went to bed how I was not as mentally alert as I used to be. I compared myself to a neighbor who recently moved who is 10 years my senior, who started failing. I said to her that working in our business is harder for me to do now than it used to be. This helped her see how I felt when I expressed at times being overwhelmed. I have so many to-do lists for around our house, at our rentals, in our store business–there is no way I could possibly do them all! This allows me to be very active to do whatever I choose to do. An advisor told us to just get sloppier, but still do what we enjoy doing, rather than retiring like so many people do. I think that is good advice. I need to control my mind so not to get overwhelmed, however.
We can also get emotionally upset at how our family or friends treat us, or lack in their interest. This is also controlled by us, for our perceptions can be created by our own mind control. We choose how we look at rejection by others, or people not caring. We may still be very happy emotionally and mentally by our own mind control. My wife and I talked about this many times this month. It seems to be harder for mothers when their children are involved. I seem to be able to say that our children are now adults and may choose whatever they wish, and we have no more control over what they choose. I can then mentally be happy by my own control of my mind. It seems harder for her with our own children.
I came this morning in meditation to the golden altar, near the fountain of living water where my Heavenly Father spoke to me last night. I felt clear and pure and asked for my Heavenly Parents to come to me.
Heavenly Mother came to me from the doors of the temple alone. She stood in beauty and majesty before me where I was kneeling! I hadn't heard from her last night, although she had come with my Father.
2. She spoke now to me:
'Raphael, I didn't speak to you last night because you were too tired and had work to do right after your prayer. Nevertheless, you did the correct thing in ending your prayer when you did. I will therefore deliver my message I was going to give last night.
Lucifer and his hosts who follow him have continually pushed against the rules of decorum that our other spirit sons and daughters obey. These include telling lies, misleading by trickery, trying to take advantage by deceit, and a host of evil manners. Satan and his minions also may appear to our mortal children in various forms because of the inherent capacity and capability of the spirit men or women that they are. We have rules of conduct for our faithful spirits, but tolerate misuse of these powers for Lucifer and his evil hosts for now.
3. Satan and his devils may deceive others by appearing as aliens of some concocted shape, they may appear as disguised or imitated individuals, or even appear as animals. They may appear as angels of light to mortals. However, in every case they are detectable by the faithful who call upon us in humble prayer for confirmation. This is why you have continually asked our faithful mortal angels to receive a spiritual confirmation that what you write is of God and not of man or of devils.
"But ye are commanded in all things to ask of God, who giveth liberally; and that which the Spirit testifies unto you even so I would that ye should do in all holiness of heart, walking uprightly before me, considering the end of your salvation, doing all things with prayer and thanksgiving, that ye may not be seduced by evil spirits, or doctrines of devils, or the commandments of men; for some are of men, and others of devils.
