This is opposed to many LDS exclusivists teachings which suggest that all people must be Mormon to be saved, or that the mortal Mormon church is the “only true church” mentioned in scripture (see “ reexamining the ‘only true church’ doctrine“). However, Mormon Universalism takes this argument a few steps further by attempting to show that LDS scripture was originally designed to teach that Christ’s “only true church”, is a spiritual movement composed of all the good people on earth who are making themselves worthy of the “heavenly church.” (a type of divine unity achieved in the metaphysical realms after death) And that the “trueness” of an earthly sect corresponds to how well they exemplify or align themselves with the heavenly church. As such, mainstream Mormon theology is essentially universalist (through its work for the dead in temple ceremonies). It stands in contrast to Christian exceptionalism or religious exclusivity– which is the fundamentalist idea that only the members of one particular faith, religion or sect will be saved or ‘exalted’. It is a belief that essentially all religious systems can be used to access god and salvation. Religious Universalism is a view arguing that all persons will ultimately be reconciled to God or the divine unity. But also understanding that religions as a whole, progress themselves slowly through the stages of faith–thus patience must be exercised with the group as they move toward enlightenment/salvation. As such, this website contains many articles showing how a universalist space has been thoughtfully written into the LDS/Biblical religious cannon and theology.
(Something which I believe every effective religion prepares a way for, Mormonism being no exception). However, like many early adults I quickly moved through the stages of faith, using my visions to universalize my faith.

I was raised in a typical Mormon or Latter-day Saint family and served a mission. I feel I was led to a number of the very rare texts I host on this site (such as the Book of Ben Kathryn, Kolbrin and Oahspe), and that through the concepts and prophesies found in these texts I can help myself and those close to me or who will listen to me, to avoid some of the coming termoil in the world (such as the coming fracturing of the United States, and Middle Eastern war). It is these experiences which form the basis of many of my unique beliefs and philosophies (so take them for what they are worth). Through this experiences I felt divinely called in my early 20’s to try and correct the aspects of science and religion which I see as being grossly off-base. Like many mystics though the ages I’ve had frequent visionary experiences (mostly in the early hours of the morning in the hypnopompic state). Spiritually I had strong metaphysical experiences from an early age. Always wanting to prove all ideas for myself. I developed a sense of skepticism for most religious, scientific and political dogma early in life. To me, much of the very foundations of modern science were based on antiquated assumptions which ignore incredibly important evidence (like the geometry of the Pleistocene Ice Caps) and the consequences of special relativity and neutrinos/electromagnetic fields on decay constants. Early in my university years, I had an overwhelming flood of ideas come to me concerning the underlying causes for the structure of our Galaxy, as well as the causes for the ‘ice age’, and the relationship between the supraluminal speed of the expanding universe and decay constants. I wanted to know for myself exactly how the landscape of Southern Utah was formed– spending thousands of hours studying palogeography. I went into geology because from an early age I was fascinated with earth history and wanted to personally validate or disprove the prevailing views on the subject. In practice, I am mostly a father and nature explorer. By hobby, I consume history, archaeology, physics, channeled literature and spiritualism. ? By profession, I am a geologist, and web developer.

I don’t expect it to be taken too seriously by anyone, and as my writings don’t always capture or fully represent my beliefs I would hope that no one puts too much stock in any part of the site they might disagree with. This site is essentially a dumping ground for religious and spiritual thoughts, beliefs, impressions and visions.
