“Lucifer rules and reigns over us in the ‘lone and dreary world.’ His influences (the desires of
our flesh) cause all kinds of confusion as we seek to understand and satisfy our intrinsic desire to be
happy. It is easier to follow Lucifer and give in to his (our fleshly) enticings than it is to follow our
conscience (that which tells us what is right). Therefore, we learn to accept and justify inequality and
the unequal values we place on everything (including each other) in this fallen state.” (SNS, 191);

(^16) SNS, 50–1: “ADAM: ‘What is that apron you have on?’ ...LUCIFER: ‘It is an emblem of my
power and Priesthoods.’ A close look at the apron worn by the actor that is portraying Lucifer reveals
the Masonic signs of secular intelligence and industry—the honors and glories of the world—the
square and the compass, which ironically (and this is important), are the same marks sewn into the
LDS temple garments worn by the patrons who receive their endowments. Joseph Smith specifically
instructed that these things be placed in Lucifer’s apron (being a representation of his works) and also
in the garments of the participants, worn throughout their lives as a representation of their works
done while in the mortal body. The garments represent the mortal flesh, and the marks thereon
(being identical to the symbols found on Lucifer’s apron) represent that our flesh entices us to desire
the things of the world and the honors and glories thereof. Unbeknownst to the unenlightened LDS
members, who faithfully wear their garments, they are wearing the exact same symbols as Lucifer
wears upon his apron.”
(^17) SNS, 129–30, emphasis added. “The ‘Robes of the Holy Priesthood’ are symbolic of the
works that we perform, the way we live our lives, the way that we think, and the intent and purpose
for which we act by our free will according to the Aaronic or Melchizedek states of existence in which
we find ourselves. Both men and women put on these robes, which negates any false doctrine that
the woman is not entitled to the same priesthood equally with the man.”
