For the epiphenomenon of good and evil
have I established for the children of men,
whereby they might make for themselves a living soul...
1st Endowment 5:37
1st Endowment 1:1-7
1 To all those who would take to their souls the mind of God, I set forth my hand to reveal the hidden wonders of all his mysteries, that you might find herein the shadow of your greater selves.
2 Give forth, therefore, of a ready mind and an eager heart; be you determined with a great resolve, and I shall make known in you what no eye has seen, no ear has heard, no hand has touched, or has ever entered the mind of any man from the beginning of the world till now.
3 That you may stand before the congregations of the faithful being girded on every side with deep wisdom and holiness, that you may become even as the Heavenly Father or the Heavenly Mother before all the children of men, that they may find in you the beginning of many blessings.
4 Attend therefore with all diligence and patience the reading of this book; cling you dearly to that faith which is born in you already, and give not your voice to doubt lest the way upon which you tread be made perilous and dark, troubling the soul with an endless debate.
5 For that which leads to exaltation cannot be cheaply had; for the things which come from God are become as the greatest of all costly pearls, for which, when a man finds, he will sell all that he has that he might possess it for himself.
6 Let therefore the words of this book dwell richly in you; for the words which I would place in the heart of man have I drawn from the soul, and they are life.
7 Rejoice and keep not silent, therefore, the joy within; lift up the voice and sing aloud, dance you round about in the light which even now would dwell among you; for behold, even in this life shall I make God and man to become as one in the hand.
