Temples & Sacred Geometry Part 6: Numbers, Space, and the Presence of God
Let’s take this topic to its most basic level: the practice of paying attention to the ways shape, proportion, number, space, and physical design can communicate spiritual ideas.
Wrestling with the Words
A revelation given to David on August 19, 2026, on the study and translation of Scripture. After a discussion on translating Scripture into various languages on August 18, 2026, I began to think about the process I have been given to translate the Plates of Brass. While it is a type of vision where I am taken in spirit to a cave, the plates are metal, the text unchanging; and while the Hebrew words appear to be a more modern understanding of the text compared to the Biblical authors, it also rests in the flames unchanged. Yet the English is more pliable; I am given options to feel out, not a word-for-word transcription, and even after I type out the translation, I am able to make changes to the text—there is no “perfect” translation. While I have been permitted to write down symbols from the Egyptian and various words from…
Temples & Sacred Geometry Part 5: Shape and Form
We are not merely human beings divided into work, play, and families. What we do in each segment of our lives bleeds into the others to make us whole. When we find balance in Christ Jesus, we truly connect with the Presence of God.
Temples & Sacred Geometry Part 4: Building Zion
And they had all things common among them; therefore, they were not rich and poor, bond and free; but they were all made free and partakers of the heavenly gift. ” –4 Nephi 1:4 [1:3] For many people, the word temple brings to mind sacred architecture, a beautiful building set apart from the ordinary world. Throughout scripture, mountains, sanctuaries, tabernacles, and holy cities have served as places where the Heavens and the earth meet. Yet if the story of the Restoration teaches us anything, it is that God never intended His presence to remain confined within walls of stone. The temple eventually leaves the mountains. The true temple(s) walks into villages, entering homes where it/they sit(s) around dinner tables. Visiting hospitals, it/they embrace(s) the lonely, welcome(s) strangers, and feed(s) the hungry. True temple(s) comfort(s) those who mourn. The true temple(s) is/are not diminished when leaving sacred buildings. Rather, this fulfills its true…
Meeting in the Garden
On this evening, while in meditation, focusing the group and the Holy Spirit, I was taken into a vision. In the vision, I was in a garden with all those in attendance. It was a beautiful, lush garden filled with food. It was a paradise that I would call Eden. There was a yellow and white light illuminating the garden, and a path in view.
Temples & Sacred Geometry Part 3: Becoming the Living Temple
The purpose of sacred architecture is not merely to build holy buildings, it is to build a holy people.
Temples & Sacred Geometry Part 2: The Restoration as Living Creation
Rather than viewing sacred architecture as static, in Mormon Kabbalah we see every temple as a living lesson. Each one expands our understanding of God’s relationship with humanity.
Temples & Sacred Geometry Part 1: The Pattern of Heaven
Throughout history, people have been drawn to sacred places. Across cultures and civilizations, mountains, temples, circles of stone, gardens, tabernacles, and sanctuaries have been built with remarkable care and intention.
A Forgotten Prophetess Returns
Neum’s teachings also emphasize the dignity and worth of every human being. Because every person bears the Light of Christ, every person deserves compassion, respect, and an opportunity to grow.
Illuminating the Restoration
Well, whatever you do, whether it’s eating or drinking or anything else, do it all so as to bring glory to God.”
–1 Corinthians 10:31, Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)
If you’ve ever felt there must be more to faith than simply attending church on Sunday, if you’ve ever sensed that God is still speaking, or if you’ve longed for a deeper, more personal relationship with Jesus Christ, then welcome to Mormon Kabbalah. We’re glad you’re here!
10 Teachings from the Torah of Moses (Plates of Brass Part I)
Here, I will present ten teachings that introduce some of the most important themes in this sacred text. It is my prayer that this will give readers a glimpse into how the Torah continues to speak to seekers today.
God Loves His LGBTQ Children
As to thy call, my Fellowship, to unite my people, I say: accept those that all others reject with hope, joy, and happiness. Worry not that there are those that judge others by the color of their skin, or their gender or sexual orientation, or in any way, for those who seek to hear my voice and heed my call must soften their hearts to these, my children. Homosexuality is neither a sin, nor a confusion, it is an eternal principle, for thus did I create them; and so too are my transgender children; therefore, exclude them not, hide them not, and forgo them not; for these are my children, and I say unto thee: bring these children unto me. Worry not what the world shall say unto thee for obeying my Law and my doctrine, but be thou obedient and thy tolerance shall be a light in the darkness; but know that this is my light, the very light of Christ, and the darkness shall comprehend it not; therefore, let my love and my light shine forth through the darkness that these, my children, shall no longer be lost, but be found in me and find a home in thee. This is my commandment to my Church and my Kingdom, yea even all my Saints that wish to fellowship in my name; so mote it be, Amen.” -Doctrines of the Saints 125:33-40
