Except he was already a "seer" when he went on treasure digs with his father.

First, this talk either purports, or denies that people looking at stones can do magic. At the beginning he says that there’s wealthy magic, and then there’s poverty magic. But neither we’re really all that magical. He then proceeded to say that looking at the stone worked for looking for treasure. Except it never actually worked at looking for treasure. The speaker seems to want the benefits of the magic of stones, but none of the negative stigma. I’d have to ask the speaker what he thinks of Joseph’s opinion on the matter. And what of Joseph’s contemporary stone lookers or seers? Were they magic? Was Joseph the only real magician? What is the connection between stones and prophets? Why don’t current prophets require stones? Can I or someone today use a stone to see holy or lost materials? We have to ask ourselves if looking at stones is an effective way of finding things or speaking with god. And thereby magic takes place between a stone and a man. Or, was there more to the story? Psychedelics can be used today by anyone. You can use them and will likely have an incredible experience by the very definition of the word. If you we’re required to draw the shortest line between stones as a gateway to god, or stones used as mask to psychedelic experiences - you get to decided which line is shorter.

Mind you, everything that this speaker says Joseph could do with the stone was pre priesthood. Pre “gift of the Holy Ghost”, so anything Joseph could do with the stone must be happening with the gentiles even today.

Does your iPhone guide you to find buried treasure and tell you about guardian spirits protecting it?

And then they gaslight us into thinking they never hide anything from the members.
