What is Wanted?

Contrary to a popular song ("You Can't Always Have What You Want") and also contrary to that same oft-repeated phrase hammered in by my mortal father while growing up ("Kimberly, you can't always have what you want!"), I DO BELIEVE that We REALLY DO... Get What We Want. But, alas... WHAT IS WANTED???

At a significant place within the walls of a building considered very sacred to the LDS people (of which I was one for most of my life), these words are given as a key to "entering into the presence of the Lord". In answer to this question given by a veiled being representing the Council of Gods, "Adam (or Eve for the women), having been true and faithful in all things, desires further light and knowledge, by conversing with the Lord (Elohim) through the Veil... After correctly answering several test questions, the patron is then stumped with one he or she cannot possibly answer (because no mere mortal could ever conceive of its real significance nor meaning).

After demonstrating complete and proper preparation (with any required assistance), the patron is then tutored (figuratively and, in most cases received ignorantly) in the correct response. Although deleted (along with other significant parts) from the amazing declaration which this entire "holy" ceremony was originally intended to represent and teach (for ALL humanity, not merely a relatively few "righteous" ones!), there are "Five Points of Fellowship" which are symbolically given as developmental milestones along each human's path of discovering that most important answer to the most provocative and enticing of all questions: "What is wanted?"

It is the unveiling of these "secrets" and the enlightenment of the "dark and dreary" wasteland that mortals walk which is my intent through these blog posts... and, indeed, through my life and the very reason for every breath I take.

For those brave souls who are led to this site with "broken hearts" and "contrite spirits"... it will be possible for each one to then figuratively, yet very, very really, to eventually hear the words for him or herself: "Let him enter!"

While concealed from the masses of men who wander blindly in unbelief and ignorance, the "Promised Land" (or "Kingdom of Heaven") really does exist... NOW... upon the earth. In fact, this very place, which is the quintessential reward held on reserve for EACH of us, requires no sum of money, no Olympic-quality physical exertion, in fact, NO "THING" is asked for its acquisition. And yet... EVERY THING is required for it to be fully received and embraced. The discovery of this beyond-amazing reward is always personal. Yet, full realization of this "Pearl of Great Price" is held on reserve for each one of us.

All that is required is the correct answering (through one's very life) of this all-important question: "What is wanted?"

So, Dear Reader, here we go. I will give my utmost to assist each of you brave ones in your journey. And, I promise... Each of you will invariably acknowledge at your personal journey's end: "It was so worth it! Every bit!"

May we each see each other on the other side of that veil and, together, rejoice and embrace in grand celebration is my vision. In peace and with great hopes, Kimberly
