I decided to have a chat with GPT chat giving it The Joe Rogan Experience conversation between Joe Rogan and the professor. It gets interesting.✨️🤷‍♂️In this fictional scenario, where Dr. Hugh Nibley is a guest on "The Joe Rogan Experience," let's explore how he might explain the symbolism of LDS temples to the curious Joe Rogan: **Joe Rogan**: "So, Dr. Nibley, I've always been curious about those Mormon temples. They look pretty unique, and I've heard they're not like regular churches. What's the deal with them?" **Dr. Hugh Nibley**: "Well, Joe, it's a pleasure to be here, and I appreciate your curiosity. First of all, you have to understand that temples hold a special place in the beliefs of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They're not just places of worship; they're a key part of our spiritual journey." **Joe Rogan**: "Okay, but what's so special about them? What goes on inside?" **Dr. Hugh Nibley**: "Inside the temple, we participate in sacred ceremonies that we believe connect us with God and help us understand our purpose in life. Now, it might seem a bit mysterious, but it's all about symbolism." **Joe Rogan**: "Symbolism, huh? What do you mean by that?" **Dr. Hugh Nibley**: "Think of it like this, Joe. You know how you see street signs every day, and they have specific meanings? Well, our temples are filled with symbols that carry deep spiritual significance. They're like cosmic street signs, guiding us on our spiritual journey." **Joe Rogan**: "Okay, that's intriguing. Can you give me an example?" **Dr. Hugh Nibley**: "Certainly! For instance, the stars you see in the temple's celestial room represent the vastness of God's creations and remind us of our eternal potential. It's like looking up at the night sky and feeling awe-inspired." **Joe Rogan**: "Got it, stars symbolize the vastness of creation. What else?" **Dr. Hugh Nibley**: "Well, the Garden of Eden is another significant symbol in our temples. It represents the ideal state of harmony and innocence, a place we strive to return to spiritually." **Joe Rogan**: "So, it's like a reminder of our spiritual goals?" **Dr. Hugh Nibley**: "Exactly, Joe! The symbolism in our temples encourages us to live our lives in a way that aligns with our beliefs and values. It's a way of teaching profound truths through visual and symbolic language." **Joe Rogan**: "That's fascinating, Dr. Nibley. It sounds like there's a lot more to these temples than meets the eye." **Dr. Hugh Nibley**: "Absolutely, Joe. They're meant to be places of learning, meditation, and personal growth. And by understanding their symbolism, we can appreciate the unique role they play in our faith, setting us apart from other Christian traditions." In this fictional scenario, Dr. Hugh Nibley, with his treasure chest of research and notes, and his enthusiasm for explaining temple symbolism, aims to shed light on the deep and meaningful aspects of LDS temples to Joe Rogan, emphasizing their importance in the spiritual journey of Mormons.

I'm clearly doing something wrong. I've been going for 20 years and haven't learned one thing, haven't had any spiritual experiences, and have only received one tiny answer to the tiniest of questions.

Hi Dana. Unfortunately, I felt much like you do. When Covid hit and the temples were closed, I decided to read and learn as much as I can to prepare myself for when the temples reopen. I read 2 books that have helped to “open my mind and imagination” to the temple endowment experience. I’m a very literal thinker. The temple is very much symbolic! The book that helped me most was Sacred Symbols by Alonzo L Gaskill. The other was understanding your endowment written by Cory B Jensen. Hope this helps

Hmm, I think if you are consciously focused on trying to feel close to the spirit, unexpected impressions may come. Often I went with specific questions in mind and received clarity regarding them. Other times I just felt like my prayers were much more inspired. Words and concepts were given to me in my mind what I should be praying for. I would just advise to maybe let go of expectations and focus on feeling the companionship of the Holy Ghost. For me it’s always been that simple. Focus on being spiritually prepared and everything will flow from that.

@Григорий Пояс Желаю Вам и вашей семье благо и чтобы Вы приобрели истинный путь. Чтобы Господь Бог убрал покровы скрывающие ваш взор. Аминь. А что касается последнего пророка - Мухаммада, так его имя вы можете найти в Торе на иврите. Интересно, прежние народы мечтали быть последователями последнего пророка, тогда как люди которые имеют этот шанс отвергают Коран... Хотя когда будут подняты после смерти будут много плакать за упущенный шанс. Коран говорит чтобы мы чтили всех пророков. Что Иисус является мессией и одним из самых великих пророков Бога. Все мусульмане верят во второе пришествие Иисуса.
