"JJ, are there others like you out there teaching? If so are you aware of them? It seems like you are alone. Are there any other teachers you recommend that are living? Is Joseph Smith Jr. currently incarnated? According to your posts it seems he should be here by now making a big difference and setting the LDS church straight.

JJ:

Interesting questions.

To be honest with you I haven't found anyone like me out there, but then all of us are unique individuals and there is no one out there like you either.

As far as teachers go I haven't found a living one in the spiritual area that presses my buttons. There are a lot of them out there but few teach anything new. Most teach, or attempt to clarify, that which has been presented in the past. Some of them are in it for money or ego and others are in it for the love of teaching and service.

Because there have been so many good teachings given out in the past current teachers who seek to clarify them and teach them are doing a necessary job in this age and reaching many people on various levels that are not yet touched by my teachings.

Because so many teachings have been given out for thousands of years it is necessary in this age for various teachers to come forth, take the best of them and give them out to the public in a way that reaches them.

I haven't found anyone teaching the new material as I have been doing but there's only so many new teachings the consciousness of humanity can handle.

Djwhal Khul (DK) tells us he will teach again beginning in 2025 and that there will be plenty of material to keep the minds of students occupied until then.

Some of the brightest teachers and innovators have been working in other fields especially politics, alternative health and science. These initiates are often sharply criticized by the media as well as their peers, but every initiate must be prepared for this.

As far as the reincarnation of people of historical note goes I will say this. A famous person in one life may not be famous in the next. Even if he is a high initiate he could not make the necessary breakthrough for success in each life. Some lives will be for learning and preparation for a future significant accomplishment.

Joseph Smith was correct when he said that our intelligence will stay with us in the next life. George Washington, Thomas Edison or Napoleon may incarnate with a totally different mission that may make then difficult to recognize but the one thing that will remain will be their basic intelligence.

If you see someone claiming to be a great one from the past just ask yourself if his native intelligence and abilities are as great as the one he claims to be. In every case where I have seen such claims the answer is no.

We can expect all the great Lights of the past to return but Edison, for example may be guided through his soul to enter the world in politics this time round and it may take him a couple lifetimes to learn the ropes and make a difference there. The Labors of Hercules demands different missions for different periods of time.
