Doug Tales 54: Paradisiacal Glory

What is the true destiny of our planet and those who live here? What is the true history of our experience here? Would you be surprised if our society’s science and religions have answers different from those found in the scriptures? Doug Mendenhall explores these topics in Conquering Spiritual Evil, Volume Two (2020), pp. 28-30:

Planets are created and have a spirit. They are alive as much as you and I. Remember in the last chapter my sighted friend stated, “The earth is a true mother who is a living being with thoughts and feelings.” Enoch heard our Earth mourn, talking. (Moses 7:48) The planets also go through their progressions and can become exalted.

Snuffer talked a little about this in Preserving the Restoration: “Before this world was organized, from an already existing and previously used creation, the condition was ‘spiritual.’ But it fell and became the temporal place as present; though patterned after the earlier world where we used to live in a spiritual state. Its present condition will be destroyed and it will return again to a spiritual state. It will be ‘quickened’ and no longer the cold, lone and dreary place of today.” (p. 323)

Joseph Smith wrote the Wentworth letter which states the “earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.” The LDS website says this means the earth will be changed to the Garden of Eden state of being. In other words, it will return to its former state of being in the Terrestrial realm, while on its way to where it started in the Celestial kingdom. (Wouldn’t it be interesting to be in another state of existence on this planet Earth in the Terrestrial realms or when the Earth returns to the Celestial realms?) Like Snuffer states above, it already existed. Mother Earth responded to the call from the Gods of Light for a planet that would be willing to have “severe malevolency” upon her. She was already a Celestial, glorified planet and yet, willingly condescended to have a fallen god upon her along with the unbelievable malignancy of evil that would come with him.

My sighted friend said it quite well in our previous book I See…Arise!: “This planet is the ONLY planet with such brutal opposition! It is very unique for it is endowed with exceptional strength and has others inhabiting her who possess the supernumerary power to resist the great evil of a fallen god. No other planet has nor will be required to harbor such severe malevolency. A fallen god is so exceedingly rare not even our Heavenly Parents nor the Heavenly multi-Grand-parents have any such living memory of one. The colossal evil of our mortal realm is confined to this planet and none other. Satan may be able to wander many areas of darkness, but is well confined, being unable to advance beyond what the innumerable Gods of Light allow. “We chose to be born on this planet to greatly accelerate our learning and experience.” (pp. 193–194)

Some days can be quite painful with the required “remembering.” But this is why Snuffer made the statement that five minutes here is worth an eternal round elsewhere. As stated above, our learning and experience is greatly accelerated here!

We have a planet that is joined to others that agreed to condescend (because that’s what Gods do, isn’t it?) and have a fallen god come here along with his children. She left the Celestial realms and has traversed this path through that kingdom, through the Terrestrial to the lowest level of the Telestial and is now heading back. The “colossal evil” and brutal opposition my sighted friend mentioned caused the companionship of the other planets to break apart.
