God invites with love. Satan and those following him use fear, control, and coercion. Waking up to the reality of what is really happening in our world can be shocking. God sprinkles key scriptures here and there, that when put together, form a completed puzzle that can be upsetting to view, but very useful in moving forward. In His precious written word, the LORD tries to gently bring the “wise” virgins along, helping us to “awake and arise,” that we might come out of Babylon and receive the greater light He alone has to offer. He provides “line upon line,” and “here a little” and “there a little” to awaken us to the reality of our precarious situation - "our awful situation" – that lies, deception, and corruption surround us, keeping too many from truth and His salvation, as salvation is available only in HIM.

Change is coming. In his day, the Prophet Jeremiah knew cleansing judgment was on its way. He stated, “The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved” (Jeremiah 8:20). We have been fed us “lies” that we might fund the lavish lifestyle of those in power, like the people under King Noah and his priests (Mosiah 8). They do so to get “gain” (power, money, sex, and the honors of men, see 1 Ne. 22:23). In the following eight scriptures, note how the LORD lists "lies" and "deceptions" first and second prior to all other sins in our day. They are very apparent in governments, media, schools, and churches.

                JST Gen. 3:5 (Moses 4:4)      3 Ne. 1610          3 Ne. 21:18-20          3 Ne. 30:1-2         1833 Book of Comm., 4:5-6         D&C 123:7-17         Eph. 4:10-14         D&C 45:57

The first illustration above (#1, upper left) is a clear symbol of our need to come out of our boxes, whatever they might be. They are typically unbelief along with false beliefs and traditions that keep us in ignorance and under control. They have been passed down to us as "iniquities" from "fathers, priests, and kings."

Growth via change as a result of truth can be difficult. God invites us to transition out of our boxes and into the circle of His light and influence. The three illustrations to the right of the box above represent three different ways to “awaken,” part of the path all “wise” virgins must make as they seek truth and obtain “oil” in their lamps. (#2) The "squared-circle" is one of the most common symbols in sacred architecture the world over. It is a symbol of our transition out of our bad habits, lies, and false beliefs and traditions, those we have held onto for far too long, and enter instead into His circle of much greater light. For some it means (#3) taking the red pill (from the movie “The Matrix”), revealing truth quickly, as opposed to the lies of “wonderland” (in the serene blue bill). Some like Cipher in the movie The Matrix, and Becca in the movie Oblivion, don't want the truth. They desire to stay in Wonderland. It is too difficult or painful to accept. The fourth image (farthest right) suggests awakening little by little, in our own way and time, symbolized by (#4) a chick pecking itself out of its egg . Cracking the egg all at once often creates too much trauma for some. Some then return to the comfort of fantasy-land. This is one reason why the LORD spoke in parables. It was protection for some – based on their readiness, and a way also to not cast pearls before the swine too. The bottom line is - we must embrace truth, regardless of how difficult it may be, as the time is simply too short. Our salvation is at stake. Turning to Christ is the key, not men and the ways of the world. Note the following five scriptures tied to "churches built up to get gain."

             1 Ne. 22:23                 2 Ne. 26:20-23                  2 Ne. 28:3                  Morm. 8:33                  D&C 10:46-70

The wise virgins have been invited to "Awake, arise, and go out to the meet the Bridegroom." It is a literal invitation. God wants to awaken us, that that we might free ourselves from all lies, deception, bondage, abuse, and pain. They are a heavy burden. They are chains that bind us down. We must choose to seek and accept truth, moving forward via faith in the LORD Jesus Christ our Redeemer. He asks that we turn to Him in repentance, removing all the false idols in our heart, along with sin, and ignorance. It requires real humility and sincerity before Him, but the very positive result is healing, peace, and hope in a brighter future. In John 8, our LORD said, “If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples (followers) indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:31-32). JESUS is that truth. He alone is mighty to save, to forgive, and to heal. Put your faith and trust in Him. He will lead you to greener pastures and real freedom. He is glorious.

A. Recommended YouTube Videos, Music, etc.

I have watched all the videos below and recommend them to you. They are mostly by non-LDS believers in Christ. They have much to offer, and like the word of God, their video presentations can help us become alive in Christ. Our God is mighty to save, to forgive, and to heal. He shares with all His children who love Him and search Him out. This is clearly evident in the following works.

B. Recommended E Books by Analee Skarin   https://www.fullnessofthefather.com/#books

It is best to start with her first book, Ye Are Gods. But she has others that are also very enlightening.
     In her book Sons of  God, Annalee stated, “Seek not to know God through churches or men or leaders, but seek God through your own heart and through your own divine attitudes fulfill His holy promises. Perfect these holy attitudes and you will be dissolved and will become that which you interpret. Seek to become love in all its compassionate, divine, forgiving, Christ-like mercy and you will know the mysteries of Godliness -- or the great mystery and power of becoming Godly” (Annalee Skarin, Chap. 8, The Great Attitude, in Sons of God, https://www.fullnessofthefather.com/#books ).
     In another book, Temple of God, Annalee states, "here are those who actually say that it is blasphemy to think one could live as Christ lived or to imagine that one is "To be perfect, even as the Father in heaven is perfect". "These are the ones who are built upon a sandy foundation and tremble lest they shall fall." Because of their inward wickedness they fear, knowing that they could not reach so great a glory without giving up their sins which they love, and their weaknesses which they cannot, or will not, make the effort to overcome. And they deny the very teachings of Jesus Christ. But their voice is only the voice of the weak and wicked ones who refuse to live His laws that they might know. They would not make the effort to overcome one transgressing weakness for all the promises He gave. Let their dried-up voices seek to deter you if you will. Join them if you like. But if you have any power to believe, or to desire, or hope to fulfill the promises Christ gave, then arise and begin to shake off the dust of ages and the sleep of centuries and follow that call crying in your own soul. Only listen to His Voice as it calls to you from within and open that door! Open it through love and praise and worship! As one beings to live these principles, which Christ gave His life to reveal, he learns that the path of holiness is the Path contained right within himself. It is the only natural law of his own inner being. This is the only pathway of achievement, of glory and happiness and power. And one will know that he, himself, is the temple of the Living God" (see Chap. 12, The Door, Temple of God,

Joseph Smith's statement about Polygamy to William Marks (Nauvoo Stake President) three weeks before his murder.

According to William Marks, Nauvoo Stake President from 1839-44, “I always believed the work was of Divine orgin, and that Joseph Smith was called of God to establish the church among the Gentiles. During my administration in the church I saw and heard of many things that was practiced, and taught that I did not believe to be of God; but I continued to do and teach such principles as we plainly revealed, as the law of the church, for I thought that pure and holy principles only would have a tendency to benefit mankind. Therefore when the doctrine of polygamy was introduced into the church as a principle of exaltation, I took a decided stand against it; which stand rendered me quite unpopular, with many of the leading ones of the church. I was also witness of the introduction (secretly) of a kingly form of government in which Joseph suffered himself to be ordained a king, to reign over the house of Israel forever; which I could not conceive to be in accordance with the laws of the church, but I did not oppose this move, thinking it none of my business.
     Joseph, however, became convinced before his death that he had done wrong; for about three weeks before his death, I met him one morning in the street, and he said to me, Brother Marks, I have something to communicate to you, we retired to a by-place, and set down together, when he said: ‘We are a ruined people.’ I asked, how so? He said: ‘This doctrine of polygamy of Spiritual wife system, that has been taught and practiced among us, will prove our destruction and overthrow. I have been deceived,’ said he, ‘in reference to its practice; it is wrong; it is a curse to mankind, and we shall have to leave the United States soon, unless it can be put down, and its practice stopped in the church. Now’ said he, “Brother Marks, you have not received this doctrine, and how glad I am. I want you to go into the high council, and I will have charges preferred against all who practice this doctrine, and I want you to try them by the laws of the church, and cut them off, if they will not repent, and cease the practice of this doctrine; and’ said he, ‘I will go into the stand, and preach against it, with all my might, and in this way we may rid the church of this damnable heresy.’
     But before this plan could be put into execution, the mob [part of “the Secret Chamber”, see D&C 38] began to gather, and our attention, necessarily, was directed to them. I again met Joseph when he was about to start for Carthage. He said to me, ‘Brother Marks, I have become convinced since I last saw you, that it is my duty to go to Carthage and deliver myself up as a lamb to the slaughter.’
     I mentioned the circumstances of these conversations with Joseph, to many of the brethren, immediately after his death; but the only effect it had was to raise a report that Brother Marks, was about to apostatize: and my statement of the conversation in reference to the practice of polygamy, was pronounced false by the Twelve, and disbelieved; but I now testify that the above statements are verily true, and correct.
     When I found that there was no chance to rid the church of that abominable sin, as I viewed it, I made my arrangements to leave Nauvoo, and I did so firmly believing that the plans and designs of the great Jehovah, in inspiring Joseph to bring forth the book of Mormon, would yet be carried out in his own time, and in his own way.”
