The True Remnant

 How Anyone Can Spot Chiasmus in Scripture (Hidden Patterns in Scripture Series) 🧭   Opening In the last few videos we’ve been talking about something called   chiasmus . A mirror pattern that ancient writers often used when recording sacred teachings. Once you learn to see it, you begin noticing it in many places in scripture. But the question people often ask is: How do you actually   spot it ? Today I want to show you a simple way anyone can start noticing these patterns. 📜   Step 1 — Watch for Repeated Ideas The first clue is   repetition . When an author repeats the same ideas later in reverse order, that can signal a chiasm. For example you might see something like: faith repentance mercy repentance faith The ideas mirror each other. 🌿   Step 2 — Look for the Turning Point Most chiasms have a   center point . This is often the most important message. The entire passage builds toward that moment. Then the ideas mirror outward again. So whe...

  🌿 The Healing Wheel Restoring Balance Through the Way of the Peacemaker 🪶 One thing that becomes very clear throughout the Nemenhah records is this: The people were not only concerned with surviving. They were concerned with becoming whole. That’s a very different focus. Modern Babylon often treats healing like: fixing symptoms, suppressing pain, escaping discomfort, or simply returning people to productivity. But the Nemenhah worldview seems much deeper than that. Healing is not merely about removing pain. It is about restoring harmony. Harmony with: the Peacemaker, the soul, the body, creation, relationships, and truth itself. That understanding slowly became what I now call: The Healing Wheel. 🌿 Honestly, this wheel may touch people more personally than many of the others. Because nearly everybody carries wounds: grief, fear, exhaustion, regret, betrayal, anxiety, anger, loneliness, shame, or deep disappointment. And sometimes religion itself becomes another wound. The reco...

 The Prayer That Confirmed the Pattern (Hidden Patterns in Scripture Series) 🧭   Opening In the last few videos we’ve been talking about something called   chiasmus . A mirror pattern that appears in many ancient writings. I first noticed it while reading the Book of Mormon. At the time I didn’t know much about it. I was just reading… and something started catching my attention. Certain ideas would appear, then repeat later in reverse order. At first I thought it might just be coincidence. But the more I looked, the harder that was to believe. 📜   The Moment I remember sitting there looking at the verses thinking: “Whoa… this can’t be coincidence.” It wasn’t just one example. It showed up again. And again. And again. The pattern was too clear. 🙏   The Prayer So I did what a lot of people do when they’re trying to figure something out spiritually. I prayed. Not a long prayer. Just a simple one. Something like: “Lord… am I seeing this right?” “Is this really wh...

Video 89 🪶 We Might Be the Babies A Look at the Endowment, the Tuhhuhl Nuhmehn, and What This Life Is Really About Hello friends. Just sitting here again… And this little story came to mind. 🌿 The Story Two babies were in the womb. One turned to the other and asked, “Do you believe in life after delivery?” The other said, “I think there must be. Maybe we’re here to prepare for something more.” The first replied, “This is all there is. No one has ever come back.” The second said, “I think there will be more light… and maybe we’ll meet our mother.” The first pushed back, “If she’s real, where is she?” And the second answered quietly, “She’s all around us. Sometimes… when it’s still… I think I can feel her.” 🕊️ What If That’s Us? What if we’re living in a place… where we only trust what we can see? And yet… every once in a while… something deeper shows up. Quiet. Still. Real. 🌄 What This Life Is For Scripture keeps bringing this back to something simple: Learn to hear the Savior… and ...

🌿 Perhaps We Are All Being Called to Repent I listened to a video recently about church finances, tithing, hidden funds, and the history surrounding Lorenzo Snow. Some of the claims were disturbing. Some were familiar. Some raised questions I have wrestled with for years. As I listened, I found myself wondering who needed to repent. The obvious answer would be church leaders. If money was hidden, that should be acknowledged. If mistakes were made, they should be corrected. If trust has been broken, honesty is the first step toward healing. But as I sat on the porch thinking about it, another thought came. What if the call to repentance is bigger than that? What if the Lord is calling all of us to repent? 📖 The Ancient Pattern Again and again the scriptures tell the same story. The people prosper. The people become comfortable. The people begin trusting in institutions, leaders, wealth, programs, traditions, and systems. And eventually they stop seeking the voice of God for themselves...

🌿 An Old Friend, a Medicine Wheel, and the Savior Every once in a while, something unexpected happens. You read something new. You discover an idea you had never seen before. And suddenly it reminds you of someone from long ago. That happened to me recently. I was studying something called the Nemenhah Medicine Wheel of Critical Decision Making . At first glance, it looks like a simple chart. A process. A way of making decisions. But the more I studied it, the more it reminded me of an old friend. A friend I knew many years ago in Korea. A friend named Clayton Christensen. 🌿 Korea When I think about Clayton, I don't first think about Harvard. I don't think about best-selling books. I don't think about awards or accomplishments. I think about Korea. I think about missionary apartments. I think about basketball games. I think about conversations. I think about a young missionary trying to serve the Lord. Years later, the world would come to know Clayton Christensen as one o...

              Is the Entire Book of Mormon a Giant Chiasm?                                                   (Hidden Patterns in Scripture Series) 🧭   Opening Over the last few videos we’ve been talking about something called   chiasmus . A mirror pattern ancient writers often used. Ideas move toward a center point… and then mirror outward again. We saw it in Alma’s conversion. We saw it in King Benjamin’s sermon. We even saw hints of it in the story of Christ appearing to the people. But some students of scripture have noticed something even bigger. Something that made me stop and think. 📜   A Much Larger Pattern When you step back and look at the Book of Mormon as a whole, the story seems to move toward one central moment. The appearance of   Jesus Christ in 3 Nephi . Everything before that moment builds t...
