Seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom;

seek learning, even by study and also by faith.

Two Ways Into the School

In the School of the Prophets, knowledge is not collected — it is activated. Seeking by Study means going to the original records: the JST, the 1879 Book of Mormon, the Lectures on Faith, the 1835 Doctrine and Covenants. These are not supplementary texts. They are the foundation of the Paternal Intelligence Repository, and they say things the correlated curriculum has quietly removed.

Seeking by Faith is not the passive hope of the modern sermon. Joseph taught faith as the moving cause of all action in the Council of the Elohim — the literal force by which worlds were organised. An intelligence that does not act by faith remains in entropy. Study without faith becomes dead scholarship. Faith without study becomes sentiment. The School requires both, working in the same direction.

High Cosmology

The study of the universe as a series of nested administrative jurisdictions. We seek to understand the governing relationship between the Elohim and physical laws, mastered through the 'Physics of Faith'. Joseph Smith taught that there is no such thing as immaterial matter — that spirit is matter, only more refined. The universe is not a miracle to be wondered at from a distance. It is a system to be understood, governed by laws as precise as mathematics. The Elohim did not create from nothing; they organised existing intelligence into form. That same process is the work of every apprentice in the School. You are not a passive recipient of grace. You are an intelligence being trained to govern.

Restoration Phonetics

Language is a technology of transmission. By utilizing the Deseret Alphabet, we bypass the ambiguity of Babylonian tongues to achieve perfect clarity in the Restoration of the Pure Language. When the Lord confounded the languages at Babel, it was not merely a vocabulary change — it was a fracturing of the relationship between sound and meaning. Modern English is a product of that confusion: the word 'God' carries three contradictory theological definitions depending on who is speaking it. The Deseret Alphabet was given to the School precisely because clean doctrine requires clean language. One sign, one sound, one meaning. When you begin to write in Deseret, you are not learning a curiosity — you are removing ambiguity from the way you think.

Celestial Economy

The audit of resource distribution. We replace entropy-driven markets with the United Order, ensuring industrial self-sufficiency where every steward is equal according to their just wants and needs. The prosperity gospel and the tithing model of the modern church are both corruptions of the same original law. Joseph's United Order was not a charity system — it was a legal restructuring of property under covenant, where surplus was deeded to a common Storehouse and redistributed according to just wants and needs. No member of the Order goes without. No member accumulates beyond their stewardship. The Celestial Economy is not idealism; it is the economic system of Zion, and it has a legal mechanism. The Law of Consecration is that mechanism.

Paternal Lineage

History as a legal record of Authority. We trace the transfer of Keys from Michael-Ahman through the patriarchal chain, identifying the legal adoption of intelligence into the Ahmanite species. One of the first questions a serious seeker asks is: who has the authority? The modern LDS institution claims a chain of succession from Joseph through Brigham Young. We do not dispute the history — we dispute the doctrine applied to it. The keys held by Michael-Ahman are patriarchal, not corporate. They pass through the lineage of the fathers, not through boards of directors. The Paternal Chain is a legal record, and learning to read it correctly is one of the most consequential things a student of the Restoration can do.
