ORIGINAL Endowment

Post by Luke »

Does anyone have any information on the ORIGINAL Endowment restored by Joseph Smith? Not even including additions by Brigham et al, the ORIGINAL.

Rumours has it that Cutlerites are practicing endowment in the way it was in Nauvoo.
They likely pass it on only orally and no written script exists. One must be a member a long time before one can receive it, so exposes are unlikely.

You'll have to ask Brigham Young since he's the one who said he got it from Joseph Smith.

I believe that the now, extant, five points of fellowship are relevant as part of the ordinance for resurrection. I would, certainly, be interested in the reconstruction of the original endowment. If it is, indeed, an ordinance and not just "instruction," it has been altered from its inception and what we have is a "watered down and compromised" version that does not illicit the understanding that it ought. As a "mystery school," the Temple's curriculum is lacking the full extent of power capable. The "Shekinah" glory has seldom been witnessed, therein, though I have been present in the Salt Lake Temple during Heavenly chorus. It was amazing as the "background noise" resolved into something very intelligible. The "Oracles" are present, but not to the extent possible because of "traditions" and "reservations." We, as a people, are too steeped in idolatry to have the veil rent, therein, to commune with the General Assembly.
