I really enjoyed this one. Corbin brought up some points that really made sense to me, but which I had never thought about in the way he presented them. Really fascinating.
I do wish the sacredness of what goes on in the temple didn’t preclude us from talking more about it and learning from each others’ observations and experiences.
My parents, who were both from inactive and/or part-member families, went through the temple for the first time when they got married, not prepared at all for what would occur. Their escorts were strangers, and my parents ended up having a very confusing and unpleasant experience. It was many, many years before they went back.
I know many people, including myself, whose first temple experience was very confusing and overwhelming in a not-so-good way. It’s sad because, as you said in the beginning of the program, what should be a significant spiritual experience in too many cases isn’t because the first-time temple goer is so in the dark about what to expect.
Please have more interviews with Mr. Volluz.
His knowledge is truly amazing.
I found this particular podcast not only enlightening, but uplifting. A bright light! The “At-One-Ment” of the symbolism of Jesus at the veil astonished me, thrilled me, resonated in my soul. Just tremendous information!
He is obviously a genius…as illustrated by the letter he received from the scholarship and inside knowledge of an apostle.
What he says about women was a breath of fresh air and touched my heart.
Thank you! Thank you!
