Without Disclosing My True Identity
The first “great and marvelous thing” to discuss is that advanced human beings do
exist throughout the Universe and that the human state of being is the greatest single life
form in the Universe.^23 This has been explained in the introductory chapters of this
biography. It is a concept that has been kept “hid up from the foundation of the world,”
and is something of which, even in modern times, mortals are not entirely convinced.
How can they be convinced of this when no one has ever presented empirical evidence
that advanced humans exist outside of our world?
Because this real truth has been kept from mortals until now,^24 it was impossible to
know or understand categorically that every human upon this earth is simply an advanced
human being in a less-advanced state of existence.^25 Furthermore, neither do we realize that
we once lived in a genderless, transitional (not mortal), physical form and state of innocence
as one of these advanced humans, before coming to this planet to experience mortality.
Human beings living in mortality are not aware that each has lived various incarnations
upon this earth. During each different lifetime, we have gained crucial experience that will
ultimately help us learn to appreciate who we really are and why we really exist.^26
Speaking in biblical/religious terms, the world understands mortality (referred to
above as a “less-advanced” state of existence) in the limited perspective and mindset of
stories passed down through the ages as “the fall of man,”^27 or the “fall of Adam.”^28 It was
in the Book of Mormon that mortals finally got a glimpse of these hidden “great and
marvelous things” (as outlined in the previous paragraph) from Nephi and appropriately
explained in religious prose: “Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have
joy.”^29 Until these words, most of the Christian world believed that existence consisted of
man being in a state wherein they were continually acted upon by both God and man, to be
punished or rewarded according to their perception of good and evil. There was no
definitive dimension given to mortal existence as part of a much larger continuum, the end
of which culminates, not in punishment or reward, but in a universal state of joy reserved for
all humans equally.
Obviously, based on our mutual experiences upon this earth, there is not much
lasting joy to be found living in this “less-advanced” state. The “joy” referred to is the
emotion that we could never have experienced as advanced humans living in a perfect
world without also gaining a contrasting, or opposite,^30 experience that allows for “joy” to
be understood.^31 Profound innocence is incapable of any real feeling. A child, for example,
raised in warmth and security, cannot possibly enjoy that state as much as a child who is
raised in coldness and fright. Until the secure and warm child experiences the opposite of its
current condition, it will never appreciate what it has, nor find joy therein—it is impossible!
Now we can understand how the concept should have been written: “Advanced
humans needed to experience a fall from their perfect (innocent/transitional) state so that
they might finally understand and have joy in a perfected (knowledgeable/non-transitional)
state.” Upon the completion of our mortality, we will finally come to know who we are and
what we desire for our happiness;^32 and that “existence” (i.e., the purposes of our creators) is
meant to serve us to achieve a perfected state of “joy” (happiness).
Seeking Self-Worth and Self-Preservation
As mortals, we do not fully appreciate that we are the highest and most important
form of life in the Universe. Because our mortality can be a very hard experience, we often
doubt each other and ourselves. We seek for self-worth in the things of the earth^33 (the only
