Definition: Holy Ghost, Spirit of God, Sign of the Dove, Holy Spirit, “The Source of all Truth”,
Comforter, Baptism of Fire and Third member of the Godhead or Trinity.

Also definitive as Mission of, Source of, Sign of and Gift of and Power of are attributes of the Holy Ghost
and not the “personage of the Godhead” as this is an important note to this thesis.

To begin with our discourse we must have an understanding of our own Spirit.
For the Holy Ghost to pierce our own understanding and intelligence and give us the “truth”,
it is prerequisite that we “attune” our Heart and Mind to His frequency.

In other words live to be worthy of His guidance and instruction.

When we speak of “Spirit” as to ourselves, we speak of the Eternal “substance” that is in all likeness to the
mortal body. At present in mortality the “Spirit” resides within us and gives us life and animation.

It is important to note here that “Substance” being “matter” yet more refined and divine than mortal
molecules and atoms. The divine from within. A son or daughter of God literally, divine.

When the “Spirit” which is eternal departs from the mortal body (being death) they are separated from
each other for a season. The mortal body decays, while the ‘Spirit” resides in an eternal plane, sometimes
referred as ‘Paradise”. Paradise having the Persian definition (Iranian meaning) “Garden”
As in the beginning, man came from the “Garden” and will return the “Garden” at death and then at
judgment return to the “Garden” called Heaven, a place of rest.

In order for the Holy Ghost to penetrate the Mind of man there has to be a medium for this process to
take place. To become “attuned” to the Holy Ghost, as mentioned, we MUST live the commandments of
our Creator and Follow His example. This is a life long process of refinement.

Our Creator being God the Eternal Father and His Son Jesus Christ have ”begotten” us with the
capability to receive the “the Holy Ghost” or Mind of God, His constant companionship.
This is a gift for the worthy soul.

How is this possible being mortal? Because God who is also “Spirit” clothed in a Divine, Immortal,
Glorified body relays through His “Mind”, the Spirit of God to our “Spirit”.

Our “Spirit” which is also immortal not yet glorified (until Resurrection and living worthily) receives the
messages that determines our direction in life and in the life to come, unless we refuse the offer!

Through Revelation, not of my own, but of a man who once resided here on this earth received the
answer to this question through divine will. The answer…..The hypothalamus

What Is The Hypothalamus?

The Hypothalamus is the control center of all autonomic regulatory activities of the body. It has been said
that the hypothalamus is the brain of the brain. It is the hub for automatic and endocrine homeostatic
systems such as cardiovascular, temperature, and abdominal visceral regulation. It manages all
endocrine hormonal levels, sensory processing, and organizing body metabolism, as well as ingestive
behaviors. It appears that almost everything the Hypothalamus does is related in some way to the
management of brain and body connection, linking the psyche (mind) to the body.

Linking our Mind to the Mind of God, from the divine in our Creator(s) to our divine within

In other words, the Hypothalamus receives the high frequency or vibration of the Spirit of God and
resonates it to the frequency to be received to the “Spirit of Man”. This is only achieved when the person
becomes ‘Attuned to the Holy Ghost and is worthy for its reception. Much like a radio.

Likened to a TV Broadcast Center and the Satellite station receiving the signal. Only when both are in
tune can the signals be transmitted and understood.

Science with religion will at a later date will understand and accept this law, but not now.

Next, what do we mean by the word “PERSONAGE”?

As the early Christian writers proposed that in the beginning man was in the “LIKENESS and IMAGE” of
God”, but because of the Fall of mankind, they LOST the LIKENESS but retained the Image!

Or in other words we are and were created in the image of the Creator(s). But because of our falling out of
tune, an interference or a veil was placed between us and our Creator. We were aware of our image and
purpose, but we desired to get back in tune and regain the “Likeness” we had lost.
Hence the scripture “Be ye perfect even as your father which is in Heaven is perfect” Matt 5:48
We lost the perfection that was our divine nature in the Garden of Eden.

Our Creator(s) prepared a plan for us to regain our divine likeness and to become like Him

Personage is a latter day word not found in the present Bible.

Personage defines as “taking on an image of a person”
Not necessarily a person

To bring us to an understanding of the definition, it would be akin to a “a “likeness”, a

symbol, a shadow or a similitude.

Latter Day thinkers would like to confine it to a (real) person or defined image.
However looking at scripture we see this is not the case, but rather as previously defined.

Example: The Holy Ghost being a personage of Spirit “appeared” as the “sign of the dove”, the form of a
dove, as cloves of fire or in Jewish Law “the Wind”

The scriptures also speak of being “Filled” (not with a personage but with the “fire”) or the Spirit of God”.
Mary being “found” with the child of the Holy Ghost(Matt 1:18) and being baptized in the NAME of the
Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost(Matt 28:19). We also read of the Holy Ghost “coming upon” an
individual (Luke 1:35) and Acts 10: 38 God “anointed” Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost”.

Does this sound like a personage? I would say no, but that does not mean that the Holy Ghost is not a
personage of Spirit, it implies that He, or rather the Mind of God” is so manifested and if required can
appear as in likeness to man where warranted or any other manifestation where required by the will of
God.

The point here is that the Holy Ghost being the Mind of God can “possess, fill, found with, lighted upon
and be received as the vibration or broadcast from the Father of Lights.

The fallacy that the Holy Ghost can be at one place at only one time is the doctrine of Man and not of
God. As can be seen the Holy Ghost is in all things and fills the immensity of space which emanates from
God.

When we speak of the Holy Ghost we speak of the personage of the Godhead, a specific entity of Deity,
being the Mind of God.

Luke 19:40
Matt 3:9
Of these verses would the stones constitute “personages” if the miracle was performed…resounding YES!
Even the inanimate testify of the miracles performed by Jesus through the Holy Ghost (Mind of God)
Mans confusion comes from the doctrine of “influence” or power or “Gift of the Holy Ghost.

Many righteous leaders have proposed thought and personal interpretation on this matter.
The greatest revelation on the matter is in Lectures on faith –Lecture Five

The influence or power of the Holy Ghost is manifested in all generations of time.

Without the influence or power of the Mind of God (Holy Ghost) no man could navigate the world or
discover distant lands or write Constitutions which are of God. No miracles could be performed and no
knowledge would be conveyed to the mind of man. Including the witness of the Father and the Son.

The Gift of the Holy Ghost is the right and privilege to receive the Holy Ghost (Mind of God) as a constant
companion as one who is righteous according to Gods will and received under one who has power and
authorized to do so. Note: One who is authorized Must also be worthy and have power from on High.

However we know through scripture the Holy Ghost (Mind of God) has aided and guided righteous men
throughout history who were never baptized!

Mans confusion of the Personage of the Holy Ghost and the Gift of the Holy Ghost or the Power and
influence of the Holy Ghost have not understood the laws that govern such Knowledge and have not
received the Revelation of the Holy Ghost.

I will now point to the scripture that clarifies and testifies of these truths, that the Holy Ghost is the Mind
of God.

Matthew 1:18
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was
espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy
Ghost.

If Jesus was the Son of the Holy Ghost, the Holy Ghost would be superior in standing
in the Godhead, above the Son it being His Father.
But if the Holy Ghost is the Mind of God then Jesus would be the Son of the Father
Making Jesus the Son of God validating the scripture.
Luke 12:10
And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him:
but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.

If anyone blasphemes against the Son of God it is forgiven.

But if he blasphemes against the Mind of God being the Holy Ghost then they will not
be forgiven for they have transgressed the greater Law against God the Father

Finally, was the Holy Ghost at the Creation of the worlds, was He at the First Vision
or with the Father and the Son at all times?
A resounding yes!! Not in personage…but as the Mind of God, permeating all space
and matter and time, revealing to mankind all truth. Creating worlds under the
direction of the Father and the Son

Matt 3:16
1
And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the
heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove,
and lighting upon him

If Jesus was greater than the Holy Ghost, why would the Holy Ghost “rest” upon Jesus
at His baptism and confirm Him? If the Holy Ghost was the Mind of God this scripture
would be clarified.

Acts 10:47

..because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. For they
heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter, Can any man
forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as
well as we?

Yes we can receive the “Gift of the Holy Ghost before baptism!!!!!
But we like the Jews of old have filled our minds with traditions of men, thinking we
know better than God. Alma can clap his hands and all present can receive the Holy
Ghost and we rebuke others who fail to comply with our Pharisaic ways, saying we
have Abraham to our fathers and find such doctrine alien to our attunement. Or Cloven
tongues like a Fire rested on their heads is certainly in harmony with the teaching of
the “Mind of God” Acts 2:3

By the power of the Holy Ghost, Jesus raised the dead, healed the sick and performed
all miracles. By the power of the Holy Ghost sins were forgiven. No man can say
Jesus is Christ without the witness of the (Mind of God) the Holy Ghost.

We can see by these evidences that The Holy Ghost or Mind of God is the governing
factor in all that Jesus witnessed, proclaimed and performed.

Without the Holy Ghost or Mind of God Jesus could do NO MIRACLES?

The evidence is irrefutable; the Mind of God, the Holy Ghost is in fact as testified to
all rational beings and conveyed to mankind to know all truth and received by modern
revelation.

To say that the Holy Ghost is a man or that He one day will have a body and be
resurrected is promoting deceit. To say that the Holy Ghost can only be in one place at
one time proclaims heresy.

Those who denounce the Lectures on Faith-Lecture Five denounce the Holy Ghost or
Mind of God. Scholars claim two camps…one who denys, claiming the Revelation as
received was not of the Holy Ghost and not of inspired men and the others who are
enlightened to know the truth and accept its author(s) as divine in nature and that the
subject matter the word of God as constituted “Doctrine” which became canon of
scripture known as the Doctrine and Covenants.

By their fruits ye shall know them….and they who deny…remain in darkness still
Seeking answers to life’s questions when the obvious is before them.
As the Saviour stated….”For judgment I have come into this world, they which see not
may see, and they that see may be made blind”. John 9

Have you wondered why you have not spiritually advanced?

Do you seek that which has been revealed yet doubt?
Are you misinformed in daily choices?
Are you puzzled by Isaiah or Revelations?
Do you wonder why your adversaries overtake you?
Question your ability or decisions?
In prayer not get conclusive answers?

Then when you know the Law and nature of the Mind of God (Holy Ghost) and apply
it through prayer and fasting, then the answers will flood in and consume you and you
will realize your past follies.

Not only will your heart burn within you, confirmation and truth will replace doubt.

To this end you may find the hidden treasures or remain in darkness. The agency is
yours….you are free to choose.

But the consequences or judgments are fixed and immutable…Good or Bad
