On October 30, 2002, my wife and I lost a son.  My wife was almost nine months pregnant, and as you can imagine, the loss was very hard.  Thanks to some guidance from an incredible lady who worked for the hospital, we were able to enjoy some special moments with our son, including holding him and bathing him.  These were special, but very hard moments.  We also had a funeral for him.  During this time, we took some time to really ponder and pray.  We felt that this special son of ours had a legacy, although we were not quite sure what it meant or what we were to do about it.  We named him Jackson Kay Johnson.

Years later, I was given a vision that provided some understanding of this.  I was shown a meeting held in the spiritual existence.  In this meeting it was shown that my family would fail at the responsibilities we were given.  Jackson had volunteered to sacrifice his time in this existence so that my family would have the power to complete the mission assigned to us.  One other family member had a separate and different experience that confirmed this same truth.  This provided much comfort to my wife and I, as we found purpose in the loss of our son. 

Over the coming years at different times, we would have different experiences with Jackson.  Sometimes it was just words of encouragement and comfort.  Other times, he would provide instruction.  As the opposition increased in our home, he would regularly come to help and watch over our family. 

As we began preparations for the translation of The Higher Law, we were taught much about Jackson.  Further, Jackson was involved in almost every aspect of our preparations including the translation of the rock formations, obtaining the seer stones, and preparing for the translation of The Higher Law.  He has continued to be involved in almost every aspect of this movement. 

I did not understand his connection to The Higher Law and this movement until we translated the first character on the outside circle, “The Great Sacrifice”.  In this translation, it described in detail the sacrifice of Jackson.  It was at this time we learned that his sacrifice was not just for our family, but for the world.  His sacrifice was what prepared the way for the coming forth of The Higher Law. 

In future translations, we learned more about Jackson, including that his real name was Josephus.  I will write more on Josephus in future posts, as his identity is one of the primary messages of The Higher Law.  Under the direction of God, he leads this movement in the spiritual existence.

 

As part of the history entries I have shared over the last couple of weeks, I have been instructed to share many of the special experiences that have occurred over the last 2.5 years.  Many of these I planned to never share.  I have only told a couple of close family members about the experience I am about to share; however, the instruction was very clear that it is to be shared as part of the history.  For some reason, God wants the history of this movement told as it is, including the special spiritual experiences that have accompanied it.  I can imagine that this is all very difficult to believe—I do not know if I could believe it if the tables were turned.  This being said, it is true and has been written as it occurred.  I do not know why God has chosen such fantastic ways to prepare this movement, I only know that He is at the head of it, and that someday we will understand the wisdom of it. 

In the middle of October of 2009, we were inspired to take a trip to St. George, Utah.  Everything went wrong, and it seemed like it would be impossible to go.  However, through a set of last minute miracles, we were able to make the trip.  As we arrived in St. George, I had the impression that we needed to pray for our minds to be open.  I felt like this was part of continuing the translations and other responsibilities we had.  I prayed for this regularly and intently.  One night, I had the strong impression that on Sunday morning I was to take my brother and brother-in-law and go to the rock structure we had hiked that day in Snow Canyon.  We were to arrive before sunrise, and messengers would meet us there to give us the blessings we sought.  We were told to diligently prepare for this time and were told, “Seek Me with all your heart and continue to practice opening your mind.” 

The next day as I was praying about this, the thought came to my mind that we would be transfigured.  I didn’t really understand what that meant.  I initially pushed away the thought, but it kept coming in a more and more clear and powerful way.  Later that day, I was taught more about the nature of a transiguration and the the need for us to obtain a transfiguration, as I was shown the power of the Beast and the difficulty of the path ahead of us. 

On Sunday morning, October 18th, we left the house where we were staying at 5:45am and arrived in Snow Canyon before 6:00am.  According to the instruction we had received, we went to the base of the rock structure and there prayed.  We each prayed three times and pled to be clean and to be able to obtain the blessings we sought.  After the final prayer, we were instructed to anoint our eyes with clay.  We did this and were then told, “Arise and ascend.”  We hiked to the top of the rock structure.  Before we stepped on the very top part, we felt to remove our shoes and empty our pockets of all miscellaneous items. 

When we reached the top point, we were then told that we would be transfigured with the rising of the sun.  We knelt together facing the sun and waited.  While kneeling, I was asked the question in my mind, “Whom shall ascend to the mount of the Lord?”  The answer then came, “He who has a pure heart and clean hands.  You are clean before me.”  I understood this was not on our own merit. 

As the sun rose, we looked directly into the sun.  An army of angels came over the mountain—that is the only way I know how to describe it.  Some were in chariots and others simply flew.  We were overcome with an amazing feeling of light.  Then into my mind came the words, “Bow your head and you shall receive the blessings you seek.”  Three messengers who identified themselves as Josephus, Elijah and Moses blessed us.  Among other things they bestowed upon us a transfiguration and a blessing to open our mind and spiritual eyes.  They blessed us with power, faith and strength to fulfill our missions and endure the persecutions that were to come.  They taught us regarding the organization we were to help build.  We were then allowed to commune with them for a short time.  After this, we offered prayers of gratitude and returned home.

Another important aspect of our history is our instruction to build an Eden unto God. 

In the early years of our marriage, my wife was constantly drawn to study design, and on our very limited budget, to keep our house as nice and organized as possible.  She always had a sense when a room just didn’t feel right and would know what changes to make.  With any extra money, she wanted to buy furniture or make changes to our home.  She also spent regular time reading design magazines and watching design programs on television.  This continued for many years.  Now this may just sound like a normal hobby, but I soon came to recognize it as an inspired passion of hers.    

When we moved into our most recent home, it wasn’t long before my wife knew that things needed to change.  She didn’t know why—she just knew we needed to make these changes.  As the opposition continued to get worse, we came to understand that these changes my wife was inspired to make were helping in our battle against the great opposition around us.  We prayed much about this and for the resources we needed to complete the changes we felt so strongly about.  God continued to confirm the importance of these changes to us.  We successfully accomplished a number of these. 

In October of 2008, a messenger named Josephus delivered to us the following message, “Build an Eden unto God, that He may bring His record out of darkness into light.”  Through this message came an incredible understanding of what we were to build, including a confirmation of our previous impressions regarding the house.  We were shown that through this, we would be delivered from the bondage in our home.  We were also shown why this was critical to bringing forth the record. 

We continued to focus on remodeling the house and preparing the property according to the instructions we received.  However, in November of 2008, we ran out of money and were forced to stop in the middle of the remodel.  We were left owing a number of people money, when some expected money did not come through.  These individuals have been very patient with us.  Money has been extremely tight since then, so we have done everything we can with the help of family to continue to move forward in building an Eden according to the instructions we received.  However, we still have much to do to complete the design we were given from God.    

God has taught us much symbolism as it relates to building an Eden.  For example, in the yard, we have been inspired to build specific rock structures.  The first three structures we were told to build represent the sun, moon, and stars.  We have been taught other symbolism that God has instructed is to be part of the Eden we are building to Him.

 

The Higher Law is translated with a seer stone.  I have used two different Seer Stones at different times during the translation.  The following is a brief description of both of these stones and how they work. 

The Seer Stone

The first seer stone was obtained In October of 2008 from a rock formation (I will explain more about rock formations in a future post).  Through the instructions I had received about The Higher Law, I knew I must obtain a seer stone. I prayed much about this. One night I was praying for guidance in obtaining the seer stone.  As I was looking down on the rock formation, I saw one of the structures essentially rise up above the others offering its top stone.  I took the stone and was told that it was a seer stone.  It was a bluish stone with a cement-like material splotched on it.  It did not look anything like what I thought a seer stone would look like.

I kept the stone with me day and night, but did not know how to use it.  One day, I was told to take a hammer and hit the top of the seer stone.   I was hesitant for obvious reasons, but when I was instructed to do this again, I proceeded.  When I hit the seer stone with the hammer, it broke smoothly into two halves, with one half slightly larger than the other half.  I did not understand at the time why it was necessary to do this. 

Over the Christmas holiday in 2008, my family took a trip to Oahu.  I had previously learned that the seer stones needed to receive some kind of transformation to work.  While in Hawaii, I was instructed to take the stone to Pali Lookout.  Following the instructions we had received, we hiked off the trail to a secluded spot by a waterfall.  We were there met by a heavenly messenger, named Josephus, who performed what was necessary to transform the seer stones.  One interesting note is over the few months since I had obtained the stone, the cement-like material had almost completely rubbed off and the stone had become a shiny black. 

I was later instructed to give one half of the seer stone to my Dad to use in a project he was to complete in conjunction with The Higher Law.  Over the next eight months, I learned how to use my part of the seer stone.  In August 2008, I used this stone for the first part of the translation of The Higher Law.  When I obtained the Greater Seer Stone, I was instructed to give my part of the seer stone to certain individuals at different times to assist in their fulfillment of their roles with this movement. 

The Greater Seer Stone

In November 2009, I obtained the Greater Seer Stone.  It is larger than the first seer stone and was the same bluish color with splotches of cement-like material when I first received it.  While working on one of the rock formations, my brother-in-law had the impression to give me a stone he had come across.  I didn’t know what it was at first, so I just kept it with me.  As I prayed about it a couple of days later, I was told it was the “Greater Seer Stone” that I was to begin using in translation.  The transformation process for this stone was much easier than the other seer stone.  Over time it has become a dark brown color.  This is the seer stone I am currently using in the translation of The Higher Law.    

How Seer Stones Work

Both stones allow a connection to the spiritual existence that enhances the ability of the mind.  Learning to use a seer stone can take time, and an individual’s ability to use the stone improves over time as the individual learns how to better connect with the stone and receive communications through it.  Further, as the individual expands and opens their mind, they are better able to effectively use a seer stone.  Through a seer stone, the mind is magnified and the individual using it can see and understand things they could not previously see and understand.
