There’s something a bit odd about the notion that we’ve been created and placed on the planet so that we can engage in a lifelong game of hide’n’seek, for the sole benefit of the one doing the hiding.
Why do you think that the fact that essentially God IS NOT the silver platter god I’ve been referring to is a purely a
selfish move on His part? Can you think of some valid reasons God might have for not revealing Himself directly and fully to every living being on the planet no matter what?

Well, let’s break this down.
1. Pre-mortal existence: Know God!
2. Be tossed into Veil of Forgetfulness.
3. Be born into a mortal body, with a two-tenths of one percent chance of that happening within an LDS family.
4. Stumble through life hoping to hear of or understand a God that hides from you on the daily.
5(a). Die, as a believing Mormon: then Know God! . . . maybe?
5(b). Or, die as a non-believer, and possibly be converted in the afterlife, or not.
6. Be placed into one of several possible post-mortal ‘kingdoms’.
Net result:
- Total number of souls that achieve a higher state of existence than before beginning The Plan:
-0- percent.
- Total number of souls that achieve the same state of existence than before beginning The Plan:
Less than 100%
- Total number of souls that achieve a lower state of existence than before beginning The Plan:
more than 0%
‘Successful’ game participants end up at the
same place as they inhabited before. Many game participants do not.
The game is rigged, and as you are denied knowledge of your premortal existence once you inhabit a mortal body, then any frame of reference to the benefits of that existence are eliminated, and you start back at Square 1 in the afterlife. And mortal experiences are not applicable in the afterlife.
There is nothing gained via this Plan aside from some amusement derived from it, for God.
(Apologies if I’ve made some mistakes in how The Plan plays out; please let me know where I went off track)
