Instantaneous long-distance travel of LDS gods

Post by _Uncle Dale »

As I understand it, Mormon dogma establishes the fact
that no celestial personage can be in two places at one time.

Thus, one "god" (say, Jehovah) can offer up the biblical
Lord's Prayer to another "god" (say, Eloheim), but "God"
himself cannot be on earth and on a planet near Kolob,
all at the same time.

Lately I've stumbled across the explanation that "gods"
can communicate across vast inter-steller distances, at
faster than the speed of light, via "quantum entanglement."

If I understand correctly, this sort of godly communication
is either instantaneous or nearly instantaneous -- such that
Jesus' words on earth reached Eloheim's ears in Heaven, at
about the same instant as Jesus was saying "give us this day..."
etc. Furthermore, had Eloheim decided to do so, He could
have instantly teleported himself to Jesus' side in Palestine,
and handed over the requested daily bread in person.

Can one of our Mormon friends here explain to me how this
quantum entanglement stuff works? Is it the means by which
the Holy Ghost can reside in the hearts of Mormons simultaneously,
all around the earth, and with those (like Enoch) away from earth?

Please teach me... I'm ready to be counseled by priesthood authority.

I'm a little rusty on my seagull stratospheric
flight plan filings, but I seem to recall that
it involves having two radiant wingmen
(wing-serifs?) to guide me ever upward
and onward...

I'd be happy just to comprehend how gods
like Lucifer can read my mind across great
distances, and tempt me with secular
notions, such as uncertainty principles.

Perhaps I need the guidance of a living prophet,
or at least a quantum particle physicist.

Travel: Einstein Rosen bridges. It is all done by the correct manipulation of space time via artificial mass..... :)

Mind reading: philotic etanglement?

I know, I know I am confusing sci-do and reality again. Surely an omnipotent, omniscient being such as god understands the universe better than us and knows solutions to these paltry difficulties that are beyond our understanding.

Some of us, on the other hand, actually prefer a religion that includes some type of correlation with reality.

Perhaps it was more of a Celestial teleconference?

How fast can your thoughts travel through space to reach the mind of God? I would say it is faster than the speed of light!

Maybe it’s more of a multidimensional issue, where say nothing in a two dimension space can be hidden from a third dimensional space … The third dimension totally encompasses the second.

Let’s say Eloheim exists in a fourth (or higher) dimension and Jesus is hanging out with us here in a third dimensional space. Bingo, its like having a piece of paper on your desk, allows in arms reach.

Hmmmmmm...

I don't count myself as an LDS god, so I'm not sure
how my thought processes compare to theirs. I'm
open to the claim that my thoughts can travel away
from my brain, through empty space -- but I don't
see much scientific evidence for that claim.

But, supposing that my thoughts can travel without
a time-lapse to the infinite realms of the Cosmos,
that supposition doesn't much enlighten me on
how quantum entanglement provides the means
for Eloheim to travel from Kolob to Manchester,
all in the wink of an eye.

I still have the sneaking suspicion that ol' Joe Smith
was winking his own eye when he told that tale.

Maybe every pinpoint location in time-space is thus
placed in immediate juxtaposition to every other point.

Anybody care to map those connections out in a multi-dimension
cartographic hologram?

The gospel doctrine teacher I had in my late teens said the the gods travelled in a beam a light. Thus, Smith saw his gods standing in.....a beam of light. Tada!

He is the one who also explained the prophecy regarding stars falling from the heaven....that was going to be fulfilled when the earth was moved through space to its celestial location, at warp speed, and the stars would blur past (ala warp speed Star Trek).

I had mixed feelings in that class. Really entertained by the far out speculations, while simultaneously wondering why I sat there and listened to people who believe these sort of things.

by the way, he was a stake patriarch as well.
