Throughout the history of The Higher Law, God has instructed us through dreams and visions. Many of those have been direction for specific situations, but a number of them have given us a greater vision and perspective for this movement. A record of these is kept in my journal, as I have felt the importance of recording the history of The Higher Law. I have felt that I should share a few of these with you. I believe they will give you a good understanding of God’s perspective of this movement, and the way in which He will work with His children to accomplish His great purposes.
The Game – Dream in June of 2005
(Although I did not understand the implications of this at the time of the dream, the contents of the dream gave me much context in understanding the way the adversary seeks to bind us. This became very important as we began the translation of The Higher Law.)
In the dream there was a game, and the cost to play the game was your “master soul”. The cost was stated to all, but some seemed to be unaware of the cost. Some immediately played the game because of what appeared to be pride or in an effort to be macho. Some of them also began aggressively recruiting and even seeking to force others to play the game. Others started slow, but moved to more and more sensual things until they too were engrossed in the game. Others were lured slowly into the game. For example, I remember seeing one of my high school friends preparing to run a race that I knew was part of the game. I talked to him and tried to warn him, but he shrugged off my warning saying that he enjoyed this and thought he could win. The game was played differently for everyone, and each was lured into the game by what appeared to be their weaknesses. I knew the game was bad, yet I could not leave the place where the game was being played. I sought safety from the game and those seeking to recruit me for the game and would find temporary places of refuge. Part way through the dream, I became aware that the adversary was the founder of the game.
The Institution – Dream in October of 2006
(Again, I did not understand the implications of this at the time of the dream. As we began the translation of The Higher Law, this again provided context for the translations. Specifically, this prepared me to understand The Beast, the name given by The Higher Law to the powerful evil organization seeking world dominion.)
Last night I had a dream about some kind of school or institution. At first, I was very excited to go to this institution because of some movie we were going to see. At first everything was great, but after I had been there for awhile, I learned that we were being watched and listened to in everything we said and did. There was a group, usually behind hidden walls or disguised among us, who were analyzing everything we did in an effort to uncover our weaknesses and our sources of hope. Then through subliminal messages and other teachings, they systematically played on the weaknesses and destroyed the hope of all involved. It was nearly impossible to leave this school and any efforts to escape or reveal the truth of the institution were diligently thwarted. Further, any efforts to restore hope to those within the institution were stopped by those disguised among us. At one point in the dream, I was leading a song or discussion of some sort in an effort to encourage and inspire those who appeared to be almost zombies because of their loss of hope. I was attacked by some leader or employee of the institution who put some kind of dart or needle in my back that caused me to go unconscious. The institution used fear to intimidate and hopelessness to grasp and destroy. They understood everything about the individual and strategically taught those messages and gave those thoughts that destroyed hope and faith. My entire focus while in the institution was to get out safely. I tried numerous strategies, but the security was intense and all attempts failed. I found myself outside of the institution later in the dream and my desire was to reveal the truth of the institution, but I seemed powerless to do so.
Introduction to The Higher Law – Vision on June 22, 2009
(From August 2008 to August 2009, we worked diligently to prepare for translating The Higher Law. One day when I was working on this, the following vision was opened to my mind. This was the beginning of a set of instructions that we received to help us understand the purpose of The Higher Law. Only part of this vision is recorded below.)
In the vision, I am standing in a palace with no walls. The palace has wide stairs that ascend to a platform where The Higher Law is situated. I am standing towards the bottom of the stairs. Outside of the palace, I can see the universe. The room is fairly dark, so it is easy to see the stars. A multitude of people are assembled right outside of the palace. God descends and stands next to The Higher Law. Both God and The Higher Law glow with a beautiful white light. He says, “Unlock the power of the stars. It is time.”
[Many other things are said here that are not written. During this, I obtain an understanding that The Higher Law is a key to unlocking the power of the stars. I am also told that this is the place that I stand when I translate.]
As God ascends He says, “When you unlock the universe, you unlock My power. Tell the world about Me, so that they may feel what you feel and know what you know that I may heal them and make their dreams come true, for I gave them their dreams and am the power thereof by which they were made and will be fulfilled. Now wear out your life helping my children draw closer to me.“
“Don’t forget where you stand when you work on the translation of The Higher Law. Don’t ever forget that you are only here by the grace of God.”
Sarah Brightman, who has been there throughout the vision, then sings “Amazing Grace.” I am told she has the title, Goddess of the Stars. All the multitude listens in a silent reverence.
Abraham Teaches of the Stars – Vision on September 3, 2009
(During the translation of The Higher Law, we came to a point where we needed an increased understanding of the stars to proceed. After seeking God for this knowledge, the following vision opened to my mind. Only part of this vision is recorded below.)
This vision again takes place in the same palace as the last vision. I am in the same location towards the bottom of the stairs. The Higher Law is again on the platform at the top of the stairs and Father Abraham ascends and stands next to it. He says, “I will reveal to you a knowledge of the planets and the stars. Each of you has a planet or star to which you are linked and mirrors the existence of your soul. So indeed, the stars in the heaven reveal the souls of God’s children–some of them in mortality and some of them in the spirit world. So when you look into the heavens and behold the mighty work of God, you behold a representation of His mightiest creation—His children. Can you understand the symbolism of it and the great power of God’s work? When you behold the nighttime sky, can you not understand the importance of each star and understand the scene before you? Can you understand the magnificence of God’s works? As He has created billions of souls, so has He created a corresponding number of stars. That is why when we behold the stars, we obtain a greater understanding of our position in the universe and of the magnitude and beauty of God’s work.”
“Now I will instruct you as to the powers of the stars. As each star represents a human soul—to unlock the power of the stars is to unlock the power that is in each individual soul. Can you now understand that when the heart of an individual is unlocked, the power, light and knowledge that is held in the individual’s stars are unleashed and bring a greater light, knowledge and power not only to the individual’s soul but also to the entire creation, both mortal and spiritual world.”
Sarah Brightman? I must admit I have never heard of her. I guess that will have to change!
Are you LDS? Much of this sounds very similar to LDS teachings. However, it sounds like you are trying to replace the current, living prophet. Why do you have the right to receive revelations and/or visions for the world? You say many insightful and true things, however, I believe god works through his own designated prophets, (see Amos 3:7) and some of what you are saying could have damning results. So are you claiming to be a prophet?
Thomas–thank you for your comment. I am a member of the LDS Church. Its important to understand that this is not a religious movement. It is natural for us to think that anything that involves God is religion, but this is not the case. There are plenty of great examples where individuals have been inspired by God in areas other than religion to lead important movements or accomplish great things. One of the best examples of this is the founding of United States of America. The men and women were called by God, received instruction for an entire nation, and under God’s direction founded a great nation. The Higher Law is the foundation for an economic and political movement directed by God. We do not claim any religious authority or seek to demean the essential role of religion in any way. You asked if I was a prophet–I think the best way to answer this is that God has called me to specific responsibilities for this movement. As part of this process, God has allowed us to see visions and use other spiritual gifts to receive instruction on and progress this movement. We are going to continue to document the history of this movement–I would invite you to continue to consider the truth of this.
It sounds like you are saying you are a prophet……………….. since only prophets can receive revelation for the world. Why isn’t Thomas S. Monson being inspired? Isn’t he prophet for the world? (Not just the mormom church)
Joseph – thank you for your comment. In regards to your question regarding if I believe I am a prophet, please see my response to Thomas in this same group of comments.
In regards to your question about Thomas S. Monson. For those of you who may not know, President Thomas S. Monson is who members of the LDS Church (Mormons) believe to be the prophet. Your question is very similar to the questions I asked when I first began to understand The Higher Law. I kept asking if God is leading this work, why is a religious leader not called to lead the movement. Over time, the answer to this question has become clear. Part of this is addressed in my response to Thomas above. Further, this is an economic and political movement that is meant to invite members of all religions to unite together and through The Higher Law build great organizations that will prosper God’s purposes in politics and economics. A religious movement would not be able to effectively accomplish this due to the appropriate separation of church and state and the religious biases that would prevent members of one religion from openly considering those movements propagated by another religion. We will continue to address this topic in the blog. I know this is different than any of us may have pictured how God would work with us in accomplishing His purposes; however, I would ask you to keep an open mind. So often throughout the world’s history He has worked in “mysterious ways” that were not easy for the people of that time to understand.
You say that this is an economic and politcal movement and I can see glimpses of that in what you say, however, I cannot see how you can say that this does not involve religion. Here are some of the words that you use, which sound like religion to me: Abraham, spirit world, souls, God’s work, creation, Amazing Grace, Goddess of the Stars, faith, hope, visions, evil, seer stone, etc.
Further, you did not deny that you are claiming to be a prophet. Yes, God does inspire and call people to do certain things. I agree that the founders of this nation were inspired. However, I would say they were inspired through the power of the Holy Ghost. I do not recall them using seer stones or having visions with God, or Father Abraham speaking to them. They were inspired, yes – but they did not claim to be prophets.
When you are claiming to translate, and you are using a seer stone, having visions, and saying things like, “all this will happen in the near future…” I think it is pretty clear that you are saying you are a prophet. In Mosiah 8:15-17, it says:
“15 And the king said that a seer is greater than a prophet.
16 And Ammon said that a seer is a revelator and a prophet also; and a gift which is greater can no man have, except he should possess the power of God, which no man can; yet a man may have great power given him from God.
17 But a seer can know of things which are past, and also of things which are to come, and by them shall all things be revealed, or, rather, shall secret things be made manifest, and hidden things shall come to light, and things which are not known shall be made known by them, and also things shall be made known by them which otherwise could not be known.”
Then, in D&C 107 91-92, it says:
” 91 And again, the duty of the President of the office of the High Priesthood is to preside over the whole church, and to be like unto Moses—
92 Behold, here is wisdom; yea, to be a a seer, a revelator, a translator, and a prophet, having all the gifts of God which he bestows upon the head of the church.”
I think that by what you have said, you are saying that you are a seer, and revelator, and as such a prophet also. I don’t mean to attack you. These are just my concerns with what you have written. One last scripture that all of this brings to mind is in Matthew 24:24. It states:
“For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”
I just worry that people will fall for all of this, and follow you down wrong paths. I hope this blog truly is what you say and believe it to be.
Thomas—thank you for your sincere comments and for the time you have taken to consider this and respond. You brought up many good points, so I will do my best to address each of these.
For those of you who do not know, when Thomas refers to scriptures in “Mosiah” or “D & C”, he is referring to scriptures embraced by the Mormon Church.
Regarding religion. The terms you mentioned have historically been associated with religion. However, they can also relate to other aspects of our life. This is one of the key messages of The Higher Law that “spiritual terms” do not necessarily mean religion, as these same terms can be associated with all aspects of our life. Let me give a couple of examples. Why couldn’t God give someone the gifts of a seer to accomplish important things outside of religion? Why does the spirit world need to be only a religious topic—doesn’t it affect all aspects of our life? I know this is a change from traditional thinking.
In regards to your comments about prophets and seers. I do believe that God gives the spiritual gifts of prophet, seer, healer, teacher, and many other gifts to people to use in accomplishing His purposes within religion and in other aspects of our life. So in this regard, I have received some of these gifts for my responsibilities with The Higher Law. I do not feel this is any different than the person who is blessed with a special gift to teach, heal, write or sing inspiring music, etc. All of these are gifts from God that He gives us to accomplish His purposes. Now to address your question directly on prophet—I do believe that I have been allowed to use many of the gifts that have historically been attached to a prophet; however, I do not claim any religious authority, which is also usually attached to the term prophet. Again, The Higher Law does not seek to replace religion, but instead encourages us to more fully understand the importance of religion in our life and in society.
In regards to your concern about this not being true or potentially leading people away from truth. I can understand your concerns. The claims we are making are very significant. I believe that as people learn the history, learn more about The Higher Law, and have the opportunity to read The Higher Law, it will become clear to them whether or not The Higher Law and this movement are what they claim to be. I will do my best to share in this blog the history of this movement, the purposes of The Higher Law and other things that will help each person determine the truth of these things.
Thank you again for your comment and for sharing your thoughts with me and the readers of the blog.
