IntroductionJoseph knew—will be fully disclosed and understood. Finally, and most importantly,
everything that Joseph wanted to tell the world in the notebook of his history as it was
happening, will be revealed.
Sanctioned by Joseph Smith, Jr.
The above twofold message is the true legacy of every true messenger. At last,
Joseph Smith, Jr., through this book that was authorized by him as his official biography,
will fully disclose his true identity! After reading what is offered upon these pages of
Joseph Smith’s true history, one will have no doubt why this biography, and this one alone,
is called: The AUTHORIZED and OFFICIAL Biography of the Mormon Prophet, Joseph Smith, Jr.
It is authorized by him, and officially sanctioned by the advanced human beings in charge
of this solar system.
The rest of the title, “Without Disclosing His True Identity,” is poignant in the
proclamation that Joseph never disclosed to any other mortal the real truth behind what he
was doing and why he was doing it. In fact, it is important to understand that, for the
benefit of humankind, at times a true messenger must state things that can be viewed
even as “lies.” (See Appendix 3: “Without Disclosing Their True Identity: Why True
Messengers Do Not Reveal The Real Truth.)
Again, throughout his life, Joseph would often tell his followers and friends that if
they knew the truth behind who he was and what he was doing, they would kill him.^160
Although many claimed to know Joseph and gave their declarations of what “they
thought” he was all about, some of his final mortal words devalued their testimonies of
him, exclaiming, “I rejoice in hearing the testimony of my aged friends. You don’t know me; you
never knew my heart. No man knows my history.”^161
Only Joseph knew his own history, along with the advanced human beings
responsible for this solar system, who called him to be a true messenger. And, as “it is
important...that as far as possible the events which make up the history be related by the
persons who witnessed them...giv[ing] the reader testimony of the facts at first hand,”^162 the
following will be brought to light in this notebook of Joseph’s life:
Advanced human beings visited Joseph at a time when the inhabitants of earth
finally had a government and country where all people could be free to exercise their
free will. They made contact with Joseph at a young age when his mind was not yet
fettered with the chains of religious ignorance, which is the bane of human existence.
His upbringing and life were overseen, not only through the use of advanced
technology by advanced human beings living on another planet, but also by four semi-
mortal men^163 known in religious circles as the Three Nephites and John the Beloved.
Joseph was commanded to give the people an organized church because human
nature rejects the simplicity and plainness of the fullness of the everlasting and
unchangeable real truth. Mortal humans in an imperfect state created religion,
philosophy, theory, and assumption during thousands of years of exercising their
free will. Joseph was to counter all that the human race had brought about without
taking away the free will of human beings to think and act as they choose. Under
the guidance and auspices of advanced humans and the semi-mortals mentioned,
he was to use an invented and imagined religion to counter all previously invented
and imagined religion. To do this, he was to play the role of a modern-day Moses,
