Visions

Post by stuck »

I have an ancestor who was in the Kirtland temple with JS was there and said that he looked where JS was looking and saw 6 persons dressed in white wearing baker's hats and mocasins. He said that this vision strengthened his testimony of the temple later on. This is sort of an impressive vision to me, but there's got to be an explanation right? He may have been fasting and had some alcohol (maybe laced with magic mushrooms?) during the sacrament. Also B12 deficiency can result from fasting which can cause hallucinations. For myself I had an auditory hallucination I believe when I was stressing about debating my wife about the church. It was probably caused by the stress I think.

Any of you have an explanation of "visions"?

Thanks

While I agree with your ideas around alcohol and mushrooms, I’m also a believer that some people just make stuff up.

I’ve heard a few whoppers told over the pulpit over the years as well as family stories. Some are just plain made up.
