The High Priesthood
In the Latter Day Saint movement, the High Priesthood is known as the Melchizedek Priesthood for those that identify as male, and the Magdalene Priesthood for those that identify as female (Doctrines of the Saints 119:16). This is because the High Priesthood combines the dual position of king or queen and Priest or Priestess.
The Mormon Kabbalah Library
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.” -2 Timothy 3:16-17
In the Fellowship of Christ we have an open cannon. Our primary books of scripture are the Bible and Book of Mormon. These were unanimously accepted as scripture back on April 6, 1830. The 1835 version of the Doctrine and Covenants were added to our canon later in August of 1835. On April 6, 2019 the Book of Enoch, the Book of Avahr, the Book of the Law of the Lord, the Book of Remembrance, and other visions and revelations the Lord had given me were added by the vote of the Saints.
Calling and Election made Sure and the Second Anointing
Joseph Smith Jr. taught that “to obtain this sealing is to make our calling and election sure which we ought to give all diligence to accomplish.”
The Endowment of the Deacon
“And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry.” -1 Timothy 1:12
On May 4, 1842 Joseph Smith Jr. introduced on the second floor of his Red Brick Store in Nauvoo, Illinois what some call the Nauvoo Endowment to nine Brethren: James Adams, Patriarch Hyrum Smith, Bishops Newel K. Whitney and George Miller, and Apostles Brigham Young, Heber C. Kimball and Willard Richards.
The Kirtland Endowment
“Hearken ye Elders of my Church, whom I have appointed: Ye are not sent forth to be taught, but to teach the children of men the things which I have put in your hands by the power of my Spirit; and ye are to be taught from on high. Sanctify yourselves and ye shall be endowed with power from on high that ye may give even as I have spoken.” -Doctrines of the Saints 2b:18-21
In the General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ, held from June 3 to June 6, 1831, a number of men were ordained to the High Priesthood of Melchizedek, and this ordination consisted of an endowment to bestow authority. The Kirtland endowment ceremonies consisted of preparatory washings, at first administered in the homes of the Saints. Men washed and purified their bodies with soap, clear water, and perfumed whiskey (Kirtland Elders’ Quorum Record 1836).
Types of Kabbalah
“Kabbalah is a mysticism, a theology, and a thaumaturgy; Kabbalah is the tradition of Israel, it is my doctrine, and thus it is a mysterious art, for my doctrine is too simple for mankind to comprehend.” -Doctrines of the Saints 125:7-8
There are two main misunderstandings I encounter over and over when talking about Mormon Kabbalah. The first is that Kabbalah is a book. The second is that there is only one type of Kabbalah. This article will not be an exhausting look at Kabbalah by any means. However, it is the hope of the author to help readers and students better understand Mormon Kabbalah in light of other types of Kabbalah.
Thirteen Attributes of Mercy
“YHVH is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.” -Psalm 103:8
Shelosh-‘Esreh Middot HaRakhamim (שְׁלוֹשׁ־עֶשְׂרֵה מִידּוֹת הַרַחֲמִים) is known in English as the Thirteen Attributes of Mercy. These are Divine Attributes taken from Exodus 34:6-7 and tell us that that God governs the world, according to Kabbalah and Judaism. We see these attributes mentioned throughout the scriptures.
Exploring what makes up Who We Are: Part 1 The Chakras
“And when the cherubims went, the chakra went by them: and when the cherubims lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the same chakra also turned not from beside them.” —Ezekiel 10:16
Following my encounter with the Heavenly Mother, on May 9, 2019 I have been asked to share more information about her message that will provide a greater understanding of why she would step forward at this time to bring us this teaching. The Divine Feminine or Heavenly Mother’s role has been buried for millennia.

Kabbalah Decoded, Divine Providence
The following was originally written September 11, 2014.
When we talk abut Divine Providence we are talking about the relationship of G-d and his creations. In the Talmud based of various verses that “G-d is lofty and above all the nations. . . . . God is not involved. . . Why not? Why should a g-d be involved in such mundane activates of the world or the business of our lives. When a king rules his kingdom he has ministers that oversee different parts or activities of his kingdom. He could if he wanted to, but why would he want to?
Lishma vrs “Love”
I am writing this mostly to understand myself better. I know there are nuts and bolts that apply to Lishma. Some of those I know what they are, many I do not know and can only learn as I participate or observe others who experience the condition called lishma.
