God prepares their children for mortal life Now in Heaven, did God prepare that their children should enter the mortal life because the children of my soul are unable to perceive or full embrace with understanding the good which herein dwells; for in their brief but happy life have they known not this glory in which they live; for in all their life were they given no ..opposition.. by which to compare the things of greatest worth, Possessing in themselves no understanding of all our goodness for they know not evil, having themselves no deeper knowing of all our joy, for they know not sorrow, they know not the darkness Now is the time when our children must become themselves full grown and fully knowing in the ways of their Father and Mother together For what wise and goodly parent would firm demand that even all their children should remain as little babes forever For even though such innocence prove natural and good in the hearts of little children, still would it prove unseemly and hurtful in those which would stand full grown, causing that they should appear as dimwitted and ill prepared in the handling of greater issues For this law proves ever constant: that it is in the nature of all living things to grow and full mature, and that thing which should prove itself unable, even it shall quickly perish, to become itself no more This then be the ..school.. where we shall send our children, being ourselves most diligent to guide them in the living of their mortal lives; for we will not permit that any should be lost or vanished away because of evil; neither shall we full permit that circumstances should prove too great a burden for the children of our soul And before the sum of all their seed did God place the Covenant of Promise; for in this covenant did both the Father and the Mother pledge the fullness of their devotion, to be as constant and ever watchful in the lives of those who lived; teaching here and guiding there the place where they should go, but only if they be willing and not uncertain For God would force no child against their will, being themselves content to woo and gently call, leading instead with gentle words of kind persuasion, drawn from loving hearts; showing through their words and deeds the ways of life and sweet fulfillment For God did frown with cold disdain upon the ..forcing.. of the will, for in “unrighteous dominion” did God take quick ..offense.. filled with sorrow, seeing that it was rooted only in the authority and place of another, and ..not.. in love or kind regard Thus did God ordain that there be given to mortal life the seven dispensations the first dispensation such doctrines and principles as would build the happy life filled with deepest wisdom, laying with most thoughtful care, the beginnings of civilization the second dispensation did God appoint the teachings of benevolence, establishing well the ways of love and sweet affection- a kind regard for all living things the third dispensation did God declare the laws and principles of faith and hope, being together most strongly bound; for faith would turn the eager soul to trust in God the fourth dispensation did God proclaim the ways of justice and mercy, being themselves beyond the rule of law or the ways of learned men, but being rooted firmly in the ways of God the fifth dispensation the principles and practices of fortitude and inward grace, establishing within the knowing of every child that in strength alone is virtue found the sixth dispensation did God ordain the rule of beauty, which beauty is found first in the soul of those who live, and then in all things beyond, moving out from the soul in greater and greater circles like ripples in a pond the seventh dispensation was there given the age of completion and harmony, which dispensation was rooted in the principles of simplicity and peace In each dispensation did God call forth certain men and women which would become as holy teachers Yet at the beginning of each dispensation did the Father and the Mother assume some mortal form, to walk upon the earth among the children of their soul and when the Lords and Gods were in agreement, they set in place the Law of Dispensation; and there went forth to walk upon the world of First Man both Adam and Eve Thus began the first dispensation which God alone did make, being both as Father and Mother most content to live the lives of mortal men, being in their flesh susceptible to such natural elements as did press hard against the very Enoshahim For God thought it wise to set aside such powers and glories as did but dwell within, permitting that Adamilus and Evelah should know in every fashion such trials and hardships as did afflict the nature of man- that they might know full well the fears and hurt of every man and every woman for into the tabernacles of mortal men would God send forth the children of Heaven whereby they might attain unto a wisdom and holiness From Heaven to Hell to Heaven Who are you.. Where did you come from.. Why are you here.. Where are you going.. Thus are you first and foremost a citizen of Heaven, being in your present state a sojourner from afar, walking through a native land in which you are a stranger 7th Endowment 6:18 born of God and everlasting, to become yourself eternal always, a child of Heaven sent down to earth and filled with greater purpose 7th Endowment 3:22 For Heaven is your truer home and the angels are your brethren, and in a place beyond your dreams you walked beside your God... 7th Endowment 6:18 let go your fears, set free your doubts and open wide your heart; for here in the great eternal do many Gods await, ever hopeful with outstretched arms to receive you once again 7th Endowment 7:3 You are sent down here from Heaven itself, with your memory of such veiled and hidden from your knowing to experience “Opposition” (opposites) in all things to learn to choose good over evil-the greater over the lesser!! to learn to appreciate the things of Heaven to become like your Heavenly Parents
