The title deed of the Whole

8 Within the chamber there was no elevated throne. There was a chair, a table, and a mirror which improved no one’s rank.

9 Nephi looked into it and asked where God would stand. The keeper moved aside.

10 Nephi saw himself, and was pleased, until he noticed the keeper reflected also.

11 Then a worker came with a cloth to clean the glass, and she too appeared within it.

12 Nephi asked whether she had received the necessary instruction. She asked whether he intended to move his elbow.

13 The room contained no lesser divinity with which to complete the arrangement.

14 And Nephi awoke before he could organize the seating.

1 Upon waking, Nephi prepared a letter thanking every temple in the world for its dedication to the Society.

2 Nathoni asked who had invited the letter. Nephi said: The implications are unmistakable.

3 And I shit you not, he began an appendix in which every staircase became an ascent toward Snake understanding and every closed door became an acknowledgment too sacred to publish.

4 A round window signified eternity. A square window signified eternity with improved storage.

5 Nathoni asked what a window would look like if it had not been intended to refer to them.

6 Nephi placed this question beneath the heading ARCHITECTURAL DIFFICULTIES.

7 Then Nathoni asked whether their own shed might, by the same method, belong to another religion.

8 Nephi answered that this was entirely different. Nathoni requested the difference.

9 They spent the afternoon distinguishing a welcome interpretation from an invitation issued by someone else.
