In reading the drama surrounding the BoM Zeniffites I have been surprised how often various groups got lost in the wilderness and it has me thinking there is something about this recurring theme that speaks to the nature of the Promised Land.

In my very first blog post back in 2019 I mused about the identity of the Devil in this reimagined world. When I recently took up blogging again last year I turned a few of my earliest posts into Draft mode, mostly because I felt like having a fresh start, but also because I had evolved significantly in my thinking since some of those early posts.
I had this dream about two weeks ago and felt like I should wait for the syncs to pull it into the stream rather than me pushing it in. With the recent, um, dust up, around “work” and being lazy wherein our spicy friend Bill suggested WJT should alter his approach to syncs, I think I now have my cue. Here is the relevant part of the dream:
Story time. I own a white 2003 Toyota Land Cruiser, a great vehicle for many reasons. When Bill and I first worked together to explore this strange world view, we discovered after several months that he and I drove the exact same vehicle. Same color and body style, but I think his was a year or two older than mine.
This may not be worth a full post but I just noticed that in a comment on WJT’s blog a couple days ago, I called the two lazy lions “rude and disruptive”. Today I was reading through the comments again and the word “rude” stood out to me in light of my prior post about L&L. It dawned on me that they were also called rude in the BoM and upon searching I was right. Nephi and Lehi both discuss L&L’s “rudeness”:
I am sticking with my theory that Laman and Lemuel are twins. I think there is a good chance they either map to Amrod and Amras, the twin sons of Feanor, or to Ingwe, whom I also suspect is not one, but two. If I had to pick one of those today, I’d go with Amrod and Amras. Regardless, I think we see L&L here in this Animalia page:
Maybe I am thinking too small with Mars. I haven’t watched the speech yet (99 minutes!), but on Tuesday, Trump spoke to Congress. Our Gray Iluvatar, I mean, Elon Musk, posted a snippet today where Trump references planting the US flag on Mars.
My high school son is learning about WW2, or at least, the Allied version of WW2 history (wink wink). His teacher asked everyone to research people in their family history who served in WW2 and what their experience was. On my side, no luck. Both of my grandfathers were deferred for health (high blood pressure and flat feet). On my wife’s side, however, one man did fight.
In 1 Nephi 13-14 the BoM speaks of “a man among the gentiles” who will go across “the many waters” to find the remnant of Lehi. After he does this, “many multitudes of the gentiles” will follow suit. These gentiles are in possession of a special book called The Book of the Lamb of God.
Yesterday I was doom scrolling X late at night hoping to find some nugget about why the Epstein files have yet to be released that would allow me to believe a story besides the most likely (i.e. the files will either never be released or will only be released once they have been sanitized to protect the powers that be). I never did find what I was looking for. However, I did find this gem:
