Heavenly Mother
This will spin your mind around. I have studied a lot of stuff relating to this topic, and found it incredibly interesting that someone without the benefit of modern revelation has rediscovered that there is a Heavenly Mother. I say 'rediscovered' because all ancient peoples, of which I am aware, believed in a Heavenly Mother. It is only relatively recently that society at large has forgotten about her. (I am assuming the author isn't basing her writing on revelation since it is a very scientific piece.) It's very exciting really. I want to go to Palenque even more after reading this (An abandoned city of the Lowland Maya, claimed by the jungle for hundreds of years, and has yet to be explored). And many other places as well. The 'ancients' are so fascinating. All in good time...

That's really interesting. I found this book in a used book store down in Provo once called "The Dead Sea Scolls and the Book of Mormon." It delved pretty deep into the ancient doctrine of our Heavenly Mother, and the reason why we don't learn much about her today.
Apparently, a lot of people began worshipping her, instead of Heavenly Father... which was blasphemous, of course. I think this is why a lot of pagan traditions worship what they call the "goddess". Anyway, the Jews teach a lot about the feminine aspect of our Heavenly Parents (Shekinah), but they've lost so much of the truth, I'm don't think their teachings are very relevant.
It is sort of validating to know that we (LDS) aren't the only ones who know that both men and women belong/exist in Heaven, and created us.
Thanks for the link.
