OK, there won't be an answer ...

Oh, but "...there will be an answer, Let it be.
Let it be, Let it be, Let it be! Whisper words of wisdom: let it be." :)

D&C 28:2 wrote:
But, behold, verily, verily, I say unto thee [Oliver Cowdery], no one shall be appointed to receive commandments and revelations in this church excepting my servant Joseph Smith, Jun., for he receiveth them even as Moses.

I forgot to mention something else about this. "for he receiveth them even as Moses" points to why ONLY True Messengers have access to KNOWING the mysteries of "God". As a result, they no longer function inside of mortality based upon faith. Unless someone has had their veil pierced (which is an actual, physical, event which takes place because someone from outside of mortality enters this realm and touches them), then they are NOT a True Messenger. If someone thinks that they are a prophet who has not had their brain adjusted, then they are merely deceiving them self...and they are making it all up inside of their own minds. At the instant a True Messenger's brain gets adjusted (the programing inside of their brain which previously prevented them from being aware of the connection between their mortal self and their second estate self gets turned off), they KNOW the Real Truth about who they are, who we are, and what is really going on here.

Christ did not need to have His brain adjusted. He was born into mortality fully aware of His connection to His second estate self. He KNEW exactly who He was and what His role was, who we are, and the real truth about what is going on here during His entire journey inside of mortality. I can't even begin to comprehend what it must have been like to have this knowledge your entire life while not being able to speak or do anything that would interfere with the free will desires of others to believe and/or do whatever they wanted to believe and/or do.

Nightlion's veil has been pierced so that he can see pictographs from Elohim and Jehovah on the face of Mount Olympus in the Wasatch Mountains east of Salt Lake City.

The most common thinking distortion I hear in church is polarized (bi-polar) thinking, a.k.a. “either-or” thinking.

Eg: “The church is either true or not.”
“You are either on the Lord’s side or not.”

Nobody’s 100% perfect nor 100% evil.

Truth isn't even 100% true.......Joseph himself said what is true in one instance and time can be different in another..... changing perspective also changes truth I would propose....

A sense of smug superiority that they have special wisdom that separates them from the herd. Some never recover from it.

Doc, maybe you become that by paying attention and remembering what you learn. Good job!

Having been bullied, sexually and physically abused and ran away as a teen - I was never really part of any herd. But you’re right - sometimes because of that I sometimes see that as superior.

Yeah, good point. In that sense truth depends on perspective and focus.

How do you figure out which perspective to focus on?
