“Jesus the man, incarnated upon Earth as a teacher
to stand as a symbol for all men and women
I cannot give you further details of his lost years
you must search within your heart
..for you know the answers”

“why were those precious years
lost to us?”

“lost because of those spiritual leaders
who were entrusted as the heirs of Peter
with the Keys to the Kingdom
yet, who removed the writings of his years
from the Holy Scriptures
believing themselves to be right in so doing.”

“how could such gross deception be right?”

“part of the answer lies in a great mystery
even now kept contained in the Vatican in Rome
and related in a most astonishing manner

to the mute..but still secretly singing
strange circle of rocks at Stonehenge, England
inter-twined with a never revealed discovery
nearly seven centuries ago..of ancient druidic writings
containing the awesome wondrous, yet terrifying mystery
of the English alphabet..and language
of words and numbers

at which time, certain members
of the religious Hierarchy did determine
among themselves..that these unexpectedly unearthed
secret formulas of the Truth of existence
and the trembling reality
of the lost powers of the gods and goddesses
now called Earthlings

constituted dangerous knowledge for the masses
and therefore, caused to have removed
all references from the Scriptures
which might, even through latent suggestion

light the flame of soul memory
within the sleeping hearts of all men and women
who then might recall their lost powers
and once again use them as a force for awful destruction
in this, the Church Fathers
believed themselves to be right

and the other part of the answer to your question
hidden for many centuries..is the negative motivation
by those who desired to retain the religious patriarchy
for the sake of the priesthood
and indeed, for the sake of the entire religious hierarchy
of even each Protestant denomination
who felt it to be, as did the Church of Rome
a fearsome abomination

for the ‘unclean’ woman to arise
......for the feminine ‘I’ of the individuality
to assume her rightful place – as equal in wisdom
to the masculine ‘O’ of the Overself
this even now reflected in the Church’s attitude toward women
more prevalent in the Vatican and in the Mormon strongholds

for these two pillars do hold many secrets
than do the more direct and uncomplicated Protestant churches

but the time is swift approaching

when all which has been so long buried
..when each earthquaking secret
shall be revealed into the Light of knowing

that long-awaited time is nigh
when each and every ancient lie..shall be exposed
and the Truth shall reign once more
in all of its shining innocence and glory, as before
for this has been ordained by RA Himself..”

Who is behind all these religions? These visions and apparitions?!

As for "darkness" and "light", I must say it is pretty devastating to me to think that people have distorted these symbolic words to mean skin colour. Symbolic words are simply meant to make non-physical things easier to explain.

Black is not a colour; it is a shade. However, to describe someone as "black" is really a misnomer because skin is never really black, even the darkest skins. It is actually a rich, healthy brown.
Just as "white" skin is not really white, but rather various shades of cream, if you like...unless you are albino.

It is possible that all white people may have come from black people, from albinoism.....albinoism may have been "the mark of Cain".

I also think it makes sense that our genes adapt, over the course of many, many years, to be more efficient at living in any given environment.....there are scientists who believe humans evolved white skin to absorb higher levels of vitamin D in climates with low levels of sunlight such as Sweden.........

I also think the Earth is far older than people realize.

Mormons aren't bad people. Far from it. It's just their doctrine is a bit misleading, that's all. I don't believe in any of it. But I do think the whole subject of religion is extremely mind-boggling. It's like trying to search for answers in a giant matrix/ labyrinth.

What would be a better word than darkness to describe spiritual amnesia? ~Spiritual amnesia? And light? ~Awareness?

I wonder if this was the one Emma founded, or is the one Emma founded yet another branch?!

the LDS church only reversed its position on polygamy in the early part of the 20th century, after the U.S. government threatened to confiscate all its property if it continued to allow the practice. there are some mormon churches today (that follow the book of mormon) that still advocate the practice of polygamy, but they have no relation to the LDS church. the official LDS position is that polygamy is unlawful.
