The Doctrine of the Prototype

The Holy Order of the Elohim views **Son Ahman** not primarily as a figure of worship, but as a Functional Master. In the apprenticeship of intelligence, the Master has already traversed the path that the apprentice now walks. This is a relationship governed by law, not sentiment (D&C 130:20-21 JST).

By identifying the Prototype as the "Firstborn," the Order acknowledges his seniority in the Council of the Elohim. He is the first intelligence of our order to achieve full unification with the Great Ahman, thereby establishing the administrative standard for all who follow.

PROPOSITION

If salvation is the process of becoming like the Elohim, then there must be a model—a prototype—upon which that likeness is built. To be "saved" is to be "aligned" to the Prototype through the **Reconciliation**.

1. Literal Apotheosis

We do not seek a 'Telestial reward'; we seek the mastery of spirit and element. The Prototype proved that intelligence, when properly governed by law, can organize matter into eternal forms (Abraham 3:24 JST).

2. The Covenantal Bond

The relationship between the apprentice and the Prototype is a legal bond. We enter into his Order, and in exchange, he grants us the legal keys to the station he occupies (D&C 84:37-38 JST).

3. The Rejection of Mystery

The Prototype makes the Father 'knowable.' We reject the nebulous, immaterial god of the creeds in favor of a Man of Holiness who possesses a body of flesh and bones as tangible as man’s (D&C 130:22 JST).
