Carl Sagan thought that the ability to discern Truth from falsehood,
was the most important duty of an honest scientist. That is why I
want to "walk you through" the following text, introduced by
the "Priestess" (I don't do clergy). Try to follow the reasoning
process (or lack of it). Before we begin, remember that the subject
must be simple enough to comprehend, and that there must be a
practice, something to be done, for this to accomplish something.
There must be a statement of what we are trying to accomplish.
Whatever materials are necessary, must be available to us, for this.
If this is theoretical, there must be sufficient evidence for the
theory, which should not be touted as fact.

Deceivers usually attack the intellect, like a magician, to hide
the "slight of hand". The intellect is attacked by simply trying to
turn it off, and there are two ways to do it: Do like Zen Buddhists
or fundamentalist Christians, and denounce the intellect as the
problem, in order to turn it off, implying there is no need for it in
meditation or to be a faithful Christian - simple doctrines. The
second way to turn off one's defensive intellect, and leave him "wide
open" for a swindle, is to so confound the intellect so badly, that
it subconsciously concedes defeat, and turns itself off.

Now that the intellect, the last line of defence, is shut down, the
cruel deception is free to enter and take over. Look for the overly
complex in the following tripe, and note the fact that you are
totally confused, and there is little to be done but concede defeat
to that message and that person (falsehood and the "horse" it rode in
on). I am only doing this for your own protection. It is well-noted
that this inability to comprehend sound theologiocal doctrine, is at
the core of the problems in the world today. In the next message, we
will begin critiquing the following treatise. Jai Om. Sai Ram

THE GNOSTIC TRINITY IS MAN, WOMAN, AND INNER CHILD

Subject: The Immortal Body of Bliss
Subject: The Nirvanakaya is Liberation
When together, Yin and Yang form a perfect circle. Similarly, a glass
of milk and a glass of water, poured back and forth into each other,
form a third liquid, symbolically in a third cup, half milk and half
water. Could these three cups form the Primordial Trinity? The Nag
Hammadi Gospels, which can be found at the link below, state that the
Trinity is Male, Female, and the "Androgynous Child" of Immortality.
The Chi or Holy Spirit or Kundalini Shakti, is genetically built into
this Biochemical Exchange of chromosomes. That is the Way of Tao,

suffering. That is Why. Your.. Picasso


THE RIG VEDA

Subject: The Oldest Urine Therapy Text from Asia
http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/rigveda/rvi09.htm
This is the oldest of all Hindu scriptures (Shastra). As we
concluded, the Manna from Heaven of the Bible is identical with the
Soma PavaMANA (moon pure mother water), the sacred beverage, of which
the ancient Satapatha Brahmana (True Path of the Priest)
states: "Soma is seed. Soma is urine.". - Sw. Tantrasangha

ON THE RIG VEDA

Subject: Re: The Oldest Urine Therapy Text from Asia
Dear Swamiji, It is as if you are always just showing us what we
already overlooked. Everybody is saying they don't know what the
original Soma was, but there it said plainly in the Satapatha
Brahmana that: "Soma is seed. Soma is urine." And you said this is
from the old E. Max Mueller 4 or 5 vols. ed. of The Satapatha Brahmana,
contained in the larger collection, called, "The Sacred Books of the
East Series", edited by E. Max Mueller. When I reread the Rig Veda, I
readily see that urine is the only thing Soma could have been. And it
ties in with Mahayana and Hindu Tantra, Tao, and even Judeo-
Christianity! Wow, what a shocking and fascinating revelation! Note
that the long title is, "The Satapatha Brahmana of the Rig Veda", an
ancient commentary on the Rig Veda. In the Satapatha Brahmana, they
call Tantra the "Full Moon (Soma) Ceremony". The verses of the Rig
Veda, especially the translation by Ralph T. H. Griffith, is a very
sublime entry into the minds of the original Tantric Hindus. Thanks
for the help, Swamiji. Sai Ram

THE PYRAMID TEXTS

Other than the hieroglyphs in the burial chamber of Djoser (Joseph) in
the Step Pyramid at Sakarra, this collection is the oldest written
document in the world, and it, liked the suppressed texts from
Djoser, is all about Urine Tantra! Egyptian scriptures are highly
formalized and very repetitive, so you must be patient. The original
three Vedas (the Atharva Veda came much later) are written for people
who already knew the method of Urine Tantra. Sai Ram

SUFISM - THE SAVIOR OF ISLAM

Subject: The Letter of the Law - Not the Spirit
From: "brother_beatnik" <beatnik_brother@h...>
Subject: Re: spiritual 'languages'

Four people were given some money. The first was a Persian. He
said, "I want to buy some angur." The second man was an Arab.
He disagreed, "No, you're not buying any angur because I want
inab." The third was a Turk. He said, "Hang on, I don't want angur or
inab, what I want is uzum." The fourth was a Greek, and he said that
what he desperately wanted was stafil. The four started bickering and
fighting; each did not understand the meaning behind the names. They
had information but no knowledge.

A man passed by; the fuss and the racket in the street had alerted
him; he walked over to the four men who were bitterly arguing about
how to use the money. To put an end to the tumult, he said, "Give me
the money and I'll get each of you what you want." The four men
agreed. The stranger bought what each of the men wanted: grapes.

This is a traditional Sufi story told by Rumi in his masterpiece the
Mathnavi. The passer by in this story is a linguist. He understands
what the men want because he knows their languages. The Sufi is
described as a spiritual linguist. He understands the spiritual
languages of humankind (Taoism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam,
Judaism, Buddhism etc) and speaks with each according to his
or her understanding. The Sufi thus understands that, although the
names and sounds of religious concepts are different in different
religions, the underlying reality that they refer to is the same.

Most people fall into the category of the four men, squabbling over
differences in names, concepts, procedures and practices. These
people miss the essence and get obsessed by the form. They confuse
the container (outside of many different cups) with the content
(inside of the cups, containing the same Shivambu).

KUNDALINI (HOLY SPIRIT)

To: mantra_tantra@yahoogroups.com
From: "zarembadavid" <rudra@g...> Add to Address Book
Subject: [mantra_tantra] Re: raja yoga & kundalini

....After the awakening, Kundalini is led step by step towards
sahasrara. Out of hundreds who succeed in arousing the power and
forcing the organic essence to rise up the spine, perhaps not even
one is able, even with sustained efforts, to carry it to Brahma-
Rendra.This is the reason why the number of those who have achieved
the genuine mystical experience has been so small.....

....With repeated practice carried on for years, the nervous system
of the Sadhaka becomes more and more accustomed to the new role it
has to perform on the arousal of the Serpent Power. The activity of
the nerves in extracting this subtle essence from the surrounding
tissues and blood becomes more and more intensified. The reproductive
organs in men or women increase their production of the organic
secretions that provide the organic essence for the upward flow from
chakra to chakra into the brain. The effect of the changes that
occur, when the cerebrospinal system starts to function in a
bewildering way, on the activation of Brahma-Rendra, is overwhelming.
The individual feels himself completely at the mercy of an awe-
inspiring, intelligent force that has the power of life and death
over him. When the nerves and the reproductive organs become more
adjusted to the new function that falls to their share on the
awakening, there occurs a sustained flow of the superior pranic
radiation to the brain, which helps to stabilize the transformed
personality of the individual.

For the yogi who raises Kundalini from chakra to chakra, the time
taken in the gradual ascent of the Power, until it penetrates the
brain, is often sufficient to attune the reproductive system and the
bodily nerves to the new activity. In such cases, even when Kundalini
rises high enough to irradiate the Brahma-Rendra, the duration of Her
stay in the Sahasrara does not exceed a few minutes at a time. After
that, with the failure of the nervous system to supply more of the
organic element, the sensations and the other symptoms, that is the
lights and the sounds, fade away or subside.

This is euphemistically called by the ancient writers the return of
Kundalini to her abode at the base of the spine. With prolonged
practice the duration of the experience is extended by the Sadhaka.
But this extension in the duration of the rapture beyond a certain
prescribed limit, consonant with the resources of the body, is
extremely hard to achieve. The ideal of the practice is to retain
Kundalini in the Sahasrara or, in other words, to maintain the flow
of the organic essence into the brain on a permanent basis. This is
known as the jivan-mukta or sahaja state. Cosmic consciousness
becomes a perennial possession of a Yogi who is able to achieve this
feat.

The Arousal of Kundalini Is Shrouded in Myth But cases of this
category are extremely rare. Kundalini is perennially active only in
the case of outstanding mystics, born with the gift, whose
extraordinary achievements in the spiritual or religious field are a
matter of history. The arousal of Kundalini, which has been shrouded
in myth, superstition and mystery for the past thousands of years, in
its essence is only a psycho-physiological phenomenon resting on a
hitherto unsuspected activity of the cerebrospinal system.

ADJUNCTS TO URINE THERAPY geneticrejuv...

Although H2O2 (Hydrogen Peroxide), found in
pharmacies, is not very toxic, I would say it is not recommended for
internal use. The food grade H2O2 can be found at your health food
stores. It must be kept refrigerated. Be careful, because it is 10
times as concentrated(!) as the drug store H2O2. It is dangerous in
large doses! Only a dozen or so drops in a 12 oz. glass of water can
suffice. It tastes awful.

Ozone is almost the same as H2O2, and has a good taste, and can be
made at home. I have seen Ozone makers that can make ozone from air
(not from O2 bottles), and sell for well under $100. Do you think the
drug store H2O2 is safe to drink? Never recycle urine with
prescription drugs in it. The colloidal silver sounds great. The more
you recycle it, the more concentrated it becomes (if the water you
drink has colloidal silver in it). The above mentioned items cannot
cause an overdose. The more the better.

I lost my nephew to this AIDS creation of the U.S. Army (or so I have
read), and I would like to take revenge. When something is trying to
kill you, the only revenge is survival. Life is a vengeance that
doesn't hurt anybody. Let's beat the AIDS Epidemic. The Medical-
Pharmaceutical Cartel and its "Death Lobby" will be so upset. Sooner
or later, the U.S. government must start doing a lot more to protect
its constituency from annihilation. Death and misery are the
only "enemy", and happiness and survival are the only real "victory".

THE LIFELONG TANTRA

Neither!
I believe we were meant to only require the raw liquid animal product
of the other gender for eat and drink. I believe that all up and
coming awareness based movements dealing with food issues (fasting,
uncooked, raw juices, living, low-calorie, low protein, led by the
non-violence of vegans, the self-realization of instinctos, and the
intentionality of breathariansim), will eventually come to this final
understanding, converging at last on how immensely abundant and
thoroughly non-violent our intrinsic circumstances actually are. All
you need is love and to live and let live. It is possible that beast
and bee do make a little extra in behalf of our children, to help
bring them through a long differentiating adolesence to be fully
ripened young adults, where their health and understanding would take
bloom as genderosity (great gender generosity), where they could
capably feed their 'other' in a (very) lifelong marriage supper. This
moves beyond survival, this is about thrival and the total release of
our fear of intimacy, allowing the essentialist notion that we have
what we need, we always have, and we always will, to sink deeply
in. "There is no end to the happiness the body is willing to bear."

FASTING SUPPLEMENTS

Subject: Diet for Long Urine Fasts
The foods should be free of modern artificial chemicals, should be
liquid or semi-liquid (except for protein powders), and, preferably,
raw. They are as follows: Soy powder or Yeast (not raw) to "leaven
the bread" with urea. Fruit juices, honey or molasses for carbs.
Milk, buttermilk, butter,
curd (yogurt or kefir), or flaxseed oil, cod liver oil, or wheat
germ oil for fats. Nothing solid
is allowed, except for the protein powders. Canned tomato juice or
soy sauce or yeast extract broth is good for salt cravings.

The Tantric form of Urine Therapy may well be found to be more
efficacious than drinking one's own. We await those of you who
are "shacking up" to find out and let the lonely rest of us know if
there is increased efficacy using the Tantric Method.

William's juice and urine fast of over 100 days, proves that Urine
Therapy can be a permanent Way of Life, in tandem with temporary
water and urine fasts. The rule is that you should eat as much as
necessary of the above foods, and all urine passed to keep your
weight just above the point of having your ribs protrude - a sign of
weight too low. - Swami Tantrasangha

LIVING FOODS

Subject: Ahimsa (Non-Violence) in Diet
The Bible says that the "Promised Land" was "the land of milk and
honey", obviously for food. Interestingly, milk and honey are neither
plant nor animal, so nothing is destroyed, in the sense of
consciousness. Even regarding plants, consuming honey and milk
products, is completely Ahimsa (without violence or harm). Nothing
born of seed or proliferated by cell multiplication or growth, is
destroyed. As the Bible says: "Thou shalt not kill", and "Honey and
butter shall they eat, all who are left in the land".

Urine also falls into this Ahimsa category. Urea is the main
nutrient and antiseptic, and bile, which gives urine its yellow
color, is the main enzyme. These give the urine fast its cleansing
effect, and the antibodies and their precursor antigens, provide for
the efficacy of a powerful self-innoculation with the correct
substances to match ones own pathological conditions, such as
communicable diseases, as well as chronic (non-infectious) diseases.

1 Nephi 14
"1 Nephi 14:1": 1 And it shall come to pass, that if the Gentiles
shall hearken unto the Lamb of God in that day that he shall manifest
himself unto them in word, and also in power, in very deed, unto the
taking away of their stumbling blocks --
"1 Nephi 14:2": 2 And harden not their hearts against the Lamb of
God, they shall be numbered among the seed of thy father; yea, they
shall be numbered among the house of Israel; and they shall be a
blessed people upon the promised land forever; they shall be no more
brought down into captivity; and the house of Israel shall no more be
confounded.
"1 Nephi 14:3": 3 And that great pit, which hath been digged for
them by that great and abominable church, which was founded by the
devil and his children, that he might lead away the souls of men down
to hell -- yea, that great pit which hath been digged for the
destruction of men shall be filled by those who digged it, unto their
utter destruction, saith the Lamb of God; not the destruction of the
soul, save it be the casting of it into that hell which hath no end.
"1 Nephi 14:4": 4 For behold, this is according to the captivity
of the devil, and also according to the justice of God, upon all
those who will work wickedness and abomination before him.
"1 Nephi 14:5": 5 And it came to pass that the angel spake unto
me, Nephi, saying: Thou hast beheld that if the Gentiles repent it
shall be well with them; and thou also knowest concerning the
covenants of the Lord unto the house of Israel; and thou also hast
heard that whoso repenteth not must perish.
"1 Nephi 14:6": 6 Therefore, wo be unto the Gentiles if it so be
that they harden their hearts against the Lamb of God.
"1 Nephi 14:7": 7 For the time cometh, saith the Lamb of God,
that I will work a great and a marvelous work among the children of
men; a work which shall be everlasting, either on the one hand or on
the other -- either to the convincing of them unto peace and life
eternal, or unto the deliverance of them to the hardness of their
hearts and the blindness of their minds unto their being brought down
into captivity, and also into destruction, both temporally and
spiritually, according to the captivity of the devil, of which I have
spoken.
"1 Nephi 14:8": 8 And it came to pass that when the angel had
spoken these words, he said unto me: Rememberest thou the covenants
of the Father unto the house of Israel? I said unto him, Yea.
"1 Nephi 14:9": 9 And it came to pass that he said unto me: Look,
and behold that great and abominable church, which is the mother of
abominations, whose founder is the devil.
"1 Nephi 14:10": 10 And he said unto me: Behold there are save
two churches only; the one is the church of the Lamb of God, and the
other is the church of the devil; wherefore, whoso belongeth not to
the church of the Lamb of God belongeth to that great church, which
is the mother of abominations; and she is the whore of all the earth.
"1 Nephi 14:11": 11 And it came to pass that I looked and beheld
the whore of all the earth, and she sat upon many waters; and she had
dominion over all the earth, among all nations, kindreds, tongues,
and people.
"1 Nephi 14:12": 12 And it came to pass that I beheld the church
of the Lamb of God, and its numbers were few, because of the
wickedness and abominations of the whore who sat upon many waters;
nevertheless, I beheld that the church of the Lamb, who were the
saints of God, were also upon all the face of the earth; and their
dominions upon the face of the earth were small, because of the
wickedness of the great whore whom I saw.
"1 Nephi 14:13": 13 And it came to pass that I beheld that the
great mother of abominations did gather together multitudes upon the
face of all the earth, among all the nations of the Gentiles, to
fight against the Lamb of God.
"1 Nephi 14:14": 14 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, beheld the
power of the Lamb of God, that it descended upon the saints of the
church of the Lamb, and upon the covenant people of the Lord, who
were scattered upon all the face of the earth; and they were armed
with righteousness and with the power of God in great glory.
"1 Nephi 14:15": 15 And it came to pass that I beheld that the
wrath of God was poured out upon that great and abominable church,
insomuch that there were wars and rumors of wars among all the
nations and kindreds of the earth.
"1 Nephi 14:16": 16 And as there began to be wars and rumors of
wars among all the nations which belonged to the mother of
abominations, the angel spake unto me, saying: Behold, the wrath of
God is upon the mother of harlots; and behold, thou seest all these
things --
"1 Nephi 14:17": 17 And when the day cometh that the wrath of God
is poured out upon the mother of harlots, which is the great and
abominable church of all the earth, whose founder is the devil, then,
at that day, the work of the Father shall commence, in preparing the
way for the fulfilling of his covenants, which he hath made to his
people who are of the house of Israel.
"1 Nephi 14:18": 18 And it came to pass that the angel spake unto
me, saying: Look!
"1 Nephi 14:19": 19 And I looked and beheld a man, and he was
dressed in a white robe.
"1 Nephi 14:20": 20 And the angel said unto me: Behold one of the
twelve apostles of the Lamb.
"1 Nephi 14:21": 21 Behold, he shall see and write the remainder
of these things; yea, and also many things which have been.
"1 Nephi 14:22": 22 And he shall also write concerning the end of
the world.
"1 Nephi 14:23": 23 Wherefore, the things which he shall write
are just and true; and behold they are written in the book which thou
beheld proceeding out of the mouth of the Jew; and at the time they
proceeded out of the mouth of the Jew, or, at the time the book
proceeded out of the mouth of the Jew, the things which were written
were plain and pure, and most precious and easy to the understanding
of all men.
"1 Nephi 14:24": 24 And behold, the things which this apostle of
the Lamb shall write are many things which thou hast seen; and
behold, the remainder shalt thou see.
"1 Nephi 14:25": 25 But the things which thou shalt see hereafter
thou shalt not write; for the Lord God hath ordained the apostle of
the Lamb of God that he should write them.
"1 Nephi 14:26": 26 And also others who have been, to them hath
he shown all things, and they have written them; and they are sealed
up to come forth in their purity, according to the truth which is in
the Lamb, in the own due time of the Lord, unto the house of Israel.
"1 Nephi 14:27": 27 And I, Nephi, heard and bear record, that the
name of the apostle of the Lamb was John, according to the word of
the angel.
"1 Nephi 14:28": 28 And behold, I, Nephi, am forbidden that I
should write the remainder of the things which I saw and heard;
wherefore the things which I have written sufficeth me; and I have
written but a small part of the things which I saw.
"1 Nephi 14:29": 29 And I bear record that I saw the things which
my father saw, and the angel of the Lord did make them known unto me.
"1 Nephi 14:30": 30 And now I make an end of speaking concerning
the things which I saw while I was carried away in the spirit; and if
all the things which I saw are not written, the things which I have
written are true. And thus it is. Amen.

kind, and also of the seeds of fruit of every kind.

in the wilderness he spake unto us, saying: Behold, I have dreamed a

seen, I have reason to rejoice in the Lord because of Nephi and also
of Sam; for I have reason to suppose that they, and also many of
their seed, will be saved.

dreary wilderness.

bade me follow him.

beheld myself that I was in a dark and dreary waste.
"1 Nephi 8:8": 8 And after I had traveled for the space of many
hours in darkness, I began to pray unto the Lord that he would have
mercy on me, according to the multitude of his tender mercies.
"1 Nephi 8:9": 9 And it came to pass after I had prayed unto the
Lord I beheld a large and spacious field.
"1 Nephi 8:10": 10 And it came to pass that I beheld a tree,
whose fruit was desirable to make one happy.
"1 Nephi 8:11": 11 And it came to pass that I did go forth and
partake of the fruit thereof; and I beheld that it was most sweet,
above all that I ever before tasted. Yea, and I beheld that the fruit
thereof was white, to exceed all the whiteness that I had ever seen.
"1 Nephi 8:12": 12 And as I partook of the fruit thereof it
filled my soul with exceedingly great joy; wherefore, I began to be
desirous that my family should partake of it also; for I knew that it
was desirable above all other fruit.
"1 Nephi 8:13": 13 And as I cast my eyes round about, that
perhaps I might discover my family also, I beheld a river of water;
and it ran along, and it was near the tree of which I was partaking
the fruit.
"1 Nephi 8:14": 14 And I looked to behold from whence it came;
and I saw the head thereof a little way off; and at the head thereof
I beheld your mother Sariah, and Sam, and Nephi; and they stood as if
they knew not whither they should go.
"1 Nephi 8:15": 15 And it came to pass that I beckoned unto them;
and I also did say unto them with a loud voice that they should come
unto me, and partake of the fruit, which was desirable above all
other fruit.
"1 Nephi 8:16": 16 And it came to pass that they did come unto me
and partake of the fruit also.
"1 Nephi 8:17": 17 And it came to pass that I was desirous that
Laman and Lemuel should come and partake of the fruit also;
wherefore, I cast mine eyes towards the head of the river, that
perhaps I might see them.
"1 Nephi 8:18": 18 And it came to pass that I saw them, but they
would not come unto me and partake of the fruit.
"1 Nephi 8:19": 19 And I beheld a rod of iron, and it extended
along the bank of the river, and led to the tree by which I stood.
"1 Nephi 8:20": 20 And I also beheld a strait and narrow path,
which came along by the rod of iron, even to the tree by which I
stood; and it also led by the head of the fountain, unto a large and
spacious field, as if it had been a world.
"1 Nephi 8:21": 21 And I saw numberless concourses of people,
many of whom were pressing forward, that they might obtain the path
which led unto the tree by which I stood.
"1 Nephi 8:22": 22 And it came to pass that they did come forth,
and commence in the path which led to the tree.
"1 Nephi 8:23": 23 And it came to pass that there arose a mist of
darkness; yea, even an exceedingly great mist of darkness, insomuch
that they who had commenced in the path did lose their way, that they
wandered off and were lost.
"1 Nephi 8:24": 24 And it came to pass that I beheld others
pressing forward, and they came forth and caught hold of the end of
the rod of iron; and they did press forward through the mist of
darkness, clinging to the rod of iron, even until they did come forth
and partake of the fruit of the tree.
"1 Nephi 8:25": 25 And after they had partaken of the fruit of
the tree they did cast their eyes about as if they were ashamed.
"1 Nephi 8:26": 26 And I also cast my eyes round about, and
beheld, on the other side of the river of water, a great and spacious
building; and it stood as it were in the air, high above the earth.
"1 Nephi 8:27": 27 And it was filled with people, both old and
young, both male and female; and their manner of dress was
exceedingly fine; and they were in the attitude of mocking and
pointing their fingers towards those who had come at and were
partaking of the fruit.
"1 Nephi 8:28": 28 And after they had tasted of the fruit they
were ashamed, because of those that were scoffing at them; and they
fell away into forbidden paths and were lost.
"1 Nephi 8:29": 29 And now I, Nephi, do not speak all the words
of my father.
"1 Nephi 8:30": 30 But, to be short in writing, behold, he saw
other multitudes pressing forward; and they came and caught hold of
the end of the rod of iron; and they did press their way forward,
continually holding fast to the rod of iron, until they came forth
and fell down and partook of the fruit of the tree.
"1 Nephi 8:31": 31 And he also saw other multitudes feeling their
way towards that great and spacious building.
"1 Nephi 8:32": 32 And it came to pass that many were drowned in
the depths of the fountain; and many were lost from his view,
wandering in strange roads.
"1 Nephi 8:33": 33 And great was the multitude that did enter
into that strange building. And after they did enter into that
building they did point the finger of scorn at me and those that were
partaking of the fruit also; but we heeded them not.
"1 Nephi 8:34": 34 These are the words of my father: For as many
as heeded them, had fallen away.
"1 Nephi 8:35": 35 And Laman and Lemuel partook not of the fruit,
said my father.
"1 Nephi 8:36": 36 And it came to pass after my father had spoken
all the words of his dream or vision, which were many, he said unto
us, because of these things which he saw in a vision, he exceedingly
feared for Laman and Lemuel; yea, he feared lest they should be cast
off from the presence of the Lord.
"1 Nephi 8:37": 37 And he did exhort them then with all the
feeling of a tender parent, that they would hearken to his words,
that perhaps the Lord would be merciful to them, and not cast them
off; yea, my father did preach unto them.
"1 Nephi 8:38": 38 And after he had preached unto them, and also
prophesied unto them of many things, he bade them to keep the
commandments of the Lord; and he did cease speaking unto them.

Subject: Fountain of Living Waters = Tree of Life vs. World Pride
From the Book of Mormon:
"Nephi 11:25": 25 And it came to pass that I beheld that the rod
of iron, which my father had seen, was the word of God, which led to
the fountain of living waters, or to the tree of life...
"1 Nephi 11:36": 36 And it came to pass that I saw and bear
record, that the great and spacious building was the pride of the
world; and it fell, and the fall thereof was exceedingly great. And
the angel of the Lord spake unto me again, saying: Thus shall be the
destruction of all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people, that shall
fight against the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

Subject: The Hidden Truth is Made Known in New Books
From the Book of Mormon:
"1 Nephi 13:20": 20 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, beheld
that they did prosper in the land; and I beheld a book, and it was
carried forth among them.
"1 Nephi 13:21": 21 And the angel said unto me: Knowest thou the
meaning of the book?
"1 Nephi 13:22": 22 And I said unto him: I know not.
"1 Nephi 13:23": 23 And he said: Behold it proceedeth out of the
mouth of a Jew. $ And I, Nephi, beheld it; and he said unto me: The
book that thou beholdest is a record of the Jews, which contains the
covenants of the Lord, which he hath made unto the house of Israel;
and it also containeth many of the prophecies of the holy prophets;
and it is a record like unto the engravings which are upon the plates
of brass, save there are not so many; nevertheless, they contain the
covenants of the Lord, which he hath made unto the house of Israel;
wherefore, they are of great worth unto the Gentiles.
"1 Nephi 13:24": 24 And the angel of the Lord said unto me: Thou
hast beheld that the book proceeded forth from the mouth of a Jew;
and when it proceeded forth from the mouth of a Jew it contained the
fulness of the gospel of the Lord, of whom the twelve apostles bear
record; and they bear record according to the truth which is in the
Lamb of God.
"1 Nephi 13:25": 25 Wherefore, these things go forth from the
Jews in purity unto the Gentiles, according to the truth which is in
God.
"1 Nephi 13:26": 26 And after they go forth by the hand of the
twelve apostles of the Lamb, from the Jews unto the Gentiles, thou
seest the formation of a great and abominable church, which is most
abominable above all other churches; for behold, they have taken away
from the gospel of the Lamb many parts which are plain and most
precious; and also many covenants of the Lord have they taken away.
"1 Nephi 13:27": 27 And all this have they done that they might
pervert the right ways of the Lord, that they might blind the eyes
and harden the hearts of the children of men.
"1 Nephi 13:28": 28 Wherefore, thou seest that after the book
hath gone forth through the hands of the great and abominable church,
that there are many plain and precious things taken away from the
book, which is the book of the Lamb of God.
"1 Nephi 13:29": 29 And after these plain and precious things
were taken away it goeth forth unto all the nations of the Gentiles;
and after it goeth forth unto all the nations of the Gentiles, yea,
even across the many waters which thou hast seen with the Gentiles
which have gone forth out of captivity, thou seest -- because of the
many plain and precious things which have been taken out of the book,
which were plain unto the understanding of the children of men,
according to the plainness which is in the Lamb of God -- because of
these things which are taken away out of the gospel of the Lamb, an
exceedingly great many do stumble, yea, insomuch that Satan hath
great power over them.
"1 Nephi 13:30": 30 Nevertheless, thou beholdest that the
Gentiles who have gone forth out of captivity, and have been lifted
up by the power of God above all other nations, upon the face of the
land which is choice above all other lands, which is the land that
the Lord God hath covenanted with thy father that his seed should
have for the land of their inheritance; wherefore, thou seest that
the Lord God will not suffer that the Gentiles will utterly destroy
the mixture of thy seed, which are among thy brethren.
"1 Nephi 13:31": 31 Neither will he suffer that the Gentiles
shall destroy the seed of thy brethren.
"1 Nephi 13:32": 32 Neither will the Lord God suffer that the
Gentiles shall forever remain in that awful state of blindness, which
thou beholdest they are in, because of the plain and most precious
parts of the gospel of the Lamb which have been kept back by that
abominable church, whose formation thou hast seen.
"1 Nephi 13:33": 33 Wherefore saith the Lamb of God: I will be
merciful unto the Gentiles, unto the visiting of the remnant of the
house of Israel in great judgment.
"1 Nephi 13:34": 34 And it came to pass that the angel of the
Lord spake unto me, saying: Behold, saith the Lamb of God, after I
have visited the remnant of the house of Israel -- and this remnant
of whom I speak is the seed of thy father -- wherefore, after I have
visited them in judgment, and smitten them by the hand of the
Gentiles, and after the Gentiles do stumble exceedingly, because of
the most plain and precious parts of the gospel of the Lamb which
have been kept back by that abominable church, which is the mother of
harlots, saith the Lamb -- I will be merciful unto the Gentiles in
that day, insomuch that I will bring forth unto them, in mine own
power, much of my gospel, which shall be plain and precious, saith
the Lamb.
"1 Nephi 13:35": 35 For, behold, saith the Lamb: I will manifest
myself unto thy seed, that they shall write many things which I shall
minister unto them, which shall be plain and precious; and after thy
seed shall be destroyed, and dwindle in unbelief, and also the seed
of thy brethren, behold, these things shall be hid up, to come forth
unto the Gentiles, by the gift and power of the Lamb.
"1 Nephi 13:36": 36 And in them shall be written my gospel, saith
the Lamb, and my rock and my salvation.
"1 Nephi 13:37": 37 And blessed are they who shall seek to bring
forth my Zion at that day, for they shall have the gift and the power
of the Holy Ghost; and if they endure unto the end they shall be
lifted up at the last day, and shall be saved in the everlasting
kingdom of the Lamb; and whoso shall publish peace, yea, tidings of
great joy, how beautiful upon the mountains shall they be.
"1 Nephi 13:38": 38 And it came to pass that I beheld the remnant
of the seed of my brethren, and also the book of the Lamb of God,
which had proceeded forth from the mouth of the Jew, that it came
forth from the Gentiles unto the remnant of the seed of my brethren.
"1 Nephi 13:39": 39 And after it had come forth unto them I
beheld other books, which came forth by the power of the Lamb, from
the Gentiles unto them, unto the convincing of the Gentiles and the
remnant of the seed of my brethren, and also the Jews who were
scattered upon all the face of the earth, that the records of the
prophets and of the twelve apostles of the Lamb are true.
"1 Nephi 13:40": 40 And the angel spake unto me, saying: These
last records, which thou hast seen among the Gentiles, shall
establish the truth of the first, which are of the twelve apostles of
the Lamb, and shall make known the plain and precious things which
have been taken away from them; and shall make known to all kindreds,
tongues, and people, that the Lamb of God is the Son of the Eternal
Father, and the Savior of the world; and that all men must come unto
him, or they cannot be saved.
