The LDS Temple Endowment and the Nemenhah Tuhhuhl Nuhmehn

  The LDS Temple Endowment and the Nemenhah Tuhhuhl Nuhmehn Two Ceremonial Journeys—and One Great Question: Will We Enter His Presence? ____________________________________________________________________________________ Listen to the NEW Narrations: Knowledge                                Sacrifice Virtue Consecration _____________________________________________________________________________________ I remain an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I love the people of the Church, and I am grateful for the peace, reflection, and spiritual instruction that many of us have received in the temple. This article is not written to mock the temple or diminish anyone’s sacred experience. But after reading the Nemenhah Records, I have begun asking a deeper question: Is the ordinance itself the destination—or is it a map meant to teach us how to come into a living relationship wit...

DISCOVERY 13 The Greatest Discovery The Restoration Was Always About Jesus Christ

Image
  📖 BUILDING UPON THE RESTORATION DISCOVERY 13 The Greatest Discovery The Restoration Was Always About Jesus Christ “Truth does not compete with truth. It completes it.” 🎧 Listen to the NEW Narration and Song:    The Greatest Discovery   ❓ A Question Worth Asking When I first opened the Nemenhah Sacred Records, I expected to discover forgotten history. I did. I expected to discover remarkable teachings. I did. I expected to find beautiful connections with the Bible, the Book of Mormon, and the Restoration through Joseph Smith. I did. But none of those became my greatest discovery. My greatest discovery... Was the Peacemaker Himself. 📖 The Bible Jesus declared: “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” —John 14:6 And again: “This is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” —John 17:3 The destination has always been Christ. 📖 The Book of Mormon Nephi wrote: “We talk of Ch...

🏛️ The Four Pillars --- The Foundation of a Zion People

Image
  🏛️ The Four Pillars The Foundation of a Zion People Listen to the NEW Narration and Song:   The Four Pillars Every lasting structure rests upon a strong foundation. A home without solid footings eventually cracks. A bridge without support cannot carry its weight. A great tree survives storms because its roots reach deep into the earth. The same is true of the human soul. The Nemenhah Sacred Records teach that Zion is not built merely by gathering people into one place. It is built by forming people whose hearts are strong enough to carry the Kingdom of God. That is why they speak of Four Pillars . Not as abstract ideals... but as living foundations. The Medicine Wheel Shows the Way The Medicine Wheel reminds us that Christ is the center. Every decision returns to Him. Every relationship finds meaning in Him. Every season of life points back to the Creator. But once we begin walking that path, another question naturally follows. What kind of people are we becoming? The ...

Two Voices from Nehspehlhem - Nez Perce

Two Voices from Nehspehlhem Grandmother Ahkehkt’s Song and Chief Joseph’s Name Were Both Promised to Return Listen to the NEW Narration:     Two Voices from the Nez Perce Tribe Sometimes the Haymehnay places two stories beside each other, and suddenly we see something that was present all along. For some time, I have loved the song of Grandmother Ahkehkt. People respond to it. There is something in its gratitude, tenderness, and remembrance that reaches the heart even before a listener understands where the song came from. Then came the story of Chief Joseph. Almost everyone knows his name. Many know his famous words: “From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever.” His courage, suffering, dignity, and refusal to become consumed by hatred have remained in the memory of America. But the Nemenhah Sacred Records place these two figures inside a much larger story. Grandmother Ahkehkt’s song was promised to return to the descendants in a distant time. Chief Josep...

ðŸŠķ CHIASMUS IN THE NEMENHAH

Image
  ðŸŠķ CHIASMUS IN THE NEMENHAH (What I Started Seeing…) Hello friends. This is just an old man from the sticks again… …and I’ve got to tell you something honestly. I didn’t go looking for chiasmus. It found me. ðŸŒŋ It Started Simple At first, I was just reading. Same as always. Scriptures… records… praying a little… thinking a little… Nothing fancy. Then one day… I noticed something. A pattern. 🔍 The First Time You See It It wasn’t big. Just a small mirror. Something like: 👉 A thought… 👉 then another thought… 👉 then something deeper… 👉 and then it started coming back out the same way. And I remember thinking: “Wait a minute…” “That looks like the Book of Mormon.” 🧠 Then It Kept Happening So I kept reading. And then… I saw it again. And again. And again. And this time it wasn’t small. 👉 Whole teachings were built this way. 👉 Entire sections were mirrored. 👉 The center always mattered most. ðŸŠķ And That’s When It Hit Me This wasn’t random. This wasn’t accidental. 👉 This was in...

Discovery 12 🕊️ Following the Voice The Peacemaker Still Leads His People

  📖 Building Upon the Restoration Discovery 12 🕊️ Following the Voice The Peacemaker Still Leads His People "Truth does not compete with truth. It completes it." Listen to the NEW Narration:    Follow the Voice   ❓A Question Worth Asking If Jesus Christ lives... If He is the Good Shepherd... If He is the Head of His Church... Shouldn't He still lead His people? The Bible says yes. The Book of Mormon says yes. Joseph Smith said yes. Then I discovered the Nemenhah Sacred Records. And they may say it most beautifully of all. 📖 The Bible Jesus declared: "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me." (John 10:27) And again: "When he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth." (John 16:13) 📖 The Book of Mormon Nephi promised: "The Holy Ghost... will show unto you all things what ye should do." (2 Nephi 32:5) Moroni ended with the invitation: "By the power of the Ho...

💃 The Dance of the Remnant --- When Hope Refuses to Die

Image
  💃 The Dance of the Remnant When Hope Refuses to Die Listen to the NEW Song of Zion:    The Dance of the Remnat Throughout history, God's people have often expressed their faith in ways the world did not understand. Sometimes they sang. Sometimes they built altars. Sometimes they lifted their hands in prayer. Sometimes they walked around cities in obedience. Sometimes they simply gathered together and remembered the promises of God. The outward expression was different. The inward purpose was always the same. To declare: "The Creator has not forgotten us." The Dance Was Never the Miracle When many people hear about the Ghost Dance, they imagine only a ceremony. The deeper story is found beneath the movement. The dance itself possessed no saving power. The circle did not redeem anyone. The drum did not change the human heart. The miracle was something far greater. Broken people still believed. After disease. After displacement. After broken promises. After unimaginable s...

ðŸŠķ The Pipe Prayer Song — Learning to Walk the Way

  Listen to the NEW Narration and Song about this Prayer :    Moroni's Walk the Way Same Narration and Song a bit softer :         Moroni's Pipe Prayer Song ðŸŠķ The Pipe Prayer Song — Learning to Walk the Way Reflections on a sacred teaching shared by Cloudpiler Many of you may not know who   Cloudpiler   is. He is one of the original translators of the   Ayahtkuhyaht Nemenhah —often called the Nemenhah Records—a work translated by a small group around 2004–2005 that I’ve studied for years. Whatever someone thinks of the record itself… there are moments in it that carry real beauty. This was one of those for me. Cloudpiler recently shared something called   The Pipe Prayer Song of Mohrhohnayah —an ancient prayer pattern from the record tied to covenant, prayer, gratitude, and walking what they call   the Way. And as I sat with it… I didn’t hear ritual. I heard remembrance. I heard the soul gathering itself before God. And h...
