The same energy that emerges from the fountain of eternity into time, is the Holy Grail at the center of the universe of the inexhaustible vitality in each of our hearts. The Holy Grail, like the Kingdom of God, is within. -Joseph Campbell-

Now we need pictures of top hats for the First Presidency. It has been a century since that might have been a possibility for LDS leadership, let alone for use of a seer stone.

Did David use a seer stone to kill Goliath?

That would be an epic mormon legend if instead of switching the stone to being the urim and thumim, the claim was that Joseph's stone was with the plates and was the very same rock that struck goliath between the eyes! [emoji1787]

Ha!

Didn't think about that. Maybe us former believers should start preaching that legend and see if it can catch on. :twisted:

Love the stone idea. An ancient horse swallowed the stone on the battlefield. That horse was used to cross the ice/land bridge and eventually made it to the chase farm, where it pooped out the rock in a deep stream. The stream eventually filled in with dirt, and it was discovered while digging a well.
