I said in my last post I wouldn’t give much thought to this idea but I can’t help it. For one, some of my kids think it’s a cool idea. For another, I am a sucker for rabbit holes.

I’ve been considering whether to put the interstellar reading of the BoM in a box for now. It’s a really fun theory that in some ways solves a lot of issues w the BoM geography, but it also presents a whole new set of problems like how do we place the Nephite and Jaredite journeys to the promised land as occurring in space? I decided to take the issue up with ChatGPT and I was actually impressed with the ideas it came up with.
Today WJT posted about a waking vision he had of making it to a library after seeing the Holy Family in a cave. It reminded me of 3 library dreams I have had. One of them I reported recently in the post about traversing the Underworld with Red. I have no idea if the 3 dreams are connected in any way to each other or WJT’s experience but I’ll post them anyway, for fun if nothing else. Here’s the second dream:
I think I may have finally found a reading of 2 Nephi 27 that checks off all the boxes and perhaps satisfies the dream I had where I was to understand that chapter’s significance in order to unlock other information. Time will tell, I suppose, but for now I am feeling pretty good about this post. I am open to being shown wrong, of course, so don’t hold back in the comments if you see issues with my analysis.
I’ve been sitting on this post for a couple months now but I think it’s time to post it. Part of what spurred the decision was playing the name game a la Bill Wright. I am terrible at this game but this one was so simple even I could follow along.
For a few years now I’ve thought that Laman and Lemuel were twins. The reason is because they seem to always speak of themselves as a single unit. For example, the claim is not that Laman should lead the family instead of Nephi, it’s instead that the two of them should do it and specifically because they are the eldest:
Bill has written recently about Pat Sajak and the Wheel of Fortune. That jogged my memory about something I wrote way back in 2020 when I was “channeling” (or whatever you want to call it) stories not unlike Daymon Smith’s tales. The style of writing was a lot like the 3 books that Daymon penned. Meaning, pretty difficult to understand. Written in English, but not really accessible without serious effort.
Credit for this post goes to my wife who is kind enough to indulge my crazy ideas from time to time. I offered to name her so everyone knows exactly who to thank for the ideas I’m going to share. I even offered to put a link to this post in her extended family chat so they could be impressed. But she declined! I guess she is just one of those people that doesn’t need the limelight.
I posted what I thought was a pretty big breakthrough connecting the dwarves as Gentiles by expanding on the theory that the brother of Jared entered Moria to get the 16 stones used to illuminate their barges. WJT posted a comment with some Bible quotes that seem to lend credence to the idea.
Yesterday I was thinking about how improbable Elon Musk is. It is pretty mind boggling to consider all the things he is accomplishing and I really don’t think there is anyone in history we could compare him to. That’s just considering what he has accomplished to date. He’s obviously not done yet.
