Ep. 118 Perception In The Mind Pt. 2

Welcome to the second in my series on Mormonism. This time we look into the influence of Freemasonry on Joseph Smith, his writings, & the Endowment ceremonies for the priesthoods. This is a much richer history than I first imagined, & I hope you find it as fascinating as I have. This rabbit hole just keeps going, & going.Thank you for your patience, & continued support. I had to do a lot of reading for this one, but I felt it was worth it to bring out as many facts as possible. It's such an amazing part of American history that doesn't get a lot of attention. If Smith had kept going, who knows how influential the Mormons would be? They basically own a whole state as it is! Now, it is ti,e to get down the Mormon/Mason rabbit hole, far beyond the mainstream!Cheers, & Blessings The Odd Man Out Show Notes• Brigham Young Freemasonhttps://www.fairlatterdaysaints.org/answers/Mormonism_and_Freemasonry/Brigham_Young's_involvementThe Church of the Latter Day Saints also adopted the bee symbol and it may be featured in the Book of Mormon, when it states that the Jaredites carried "with them Deseret, which, by interpretation, is a honey bee" ( Ether 2:3Texe Marrs The Honey Bee, & Beehive is another symbol used in Freemasonry to represent unity, organization, & obedience.https://archive.org/details/TexeMarrsInterviewOfBillSchnoebelen Early Mormons Taught People Lived On The Sun, & Moonhttps://www.mrm.org/moon-men Professor John Smith, cousin of Asael Smith (Joseph's Grandfather), established and ran the theology department at Dartmouth prior to Hyrum's arrival.
