Layne(a son of God,) Thank you, so much, for the acknowledgement regarding sacred space. It is precisely this idea of sacred space that will allow you to address your friend. In the Tabernacle of Moses, the Shekhinah glory - as a pillar of fire, rested over the Holy of Holies denoting the presence of the Lord. It was very sacred space. If you will review with your friend, the following YouTube video and allow him to make the connection: https://youtu.be/w8VAuX1KX_U

Ask him what it is that makes a space sacred. Help him realize that it is an "inter-dimensional" thing and has to do with the Spirit.

The Holy of Holies represents your Heart and the Ark of the Covenant, your Heart of Hearts. (You, too, have a Mercy Seat!) Anyway, draw a parallel with him to the disciples experience walking and talking with the Savior on the road to Emmaus in the Gospel of Luke; how their hearts did "burn" within them. Too, include the following explanation given in Doctrine and Covenants:

Quote:
Section 8:
2 Yea, behold, I will tell you in your mind and in your heart, by the Holy Ghost, which shall come upon you and which shall dwell in your heart.
3 Now, behold, this is the spirit of revelation; behold, this is the spirit by which Moses brought the children of Israel through the Red Sea on dry ground.
Help him to recognize that the Spirit or Holy Ghost, in this instance, is like the following:

Quote:
Mark 1:
2 As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
The "wilderness" has been used as a metaphor for "being lost in your thoughts;" comparing physical to spiritual.

Quote:
Hebrews 3:
7 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,
8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.
10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.
11 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)
12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the end;
15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?
18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
And so, Layne, in order to make the full connection, I include the following:

Quote:
Doctrine and Covenants 88:
66 Behold, that which you hear is as the voice of one crying in the wilderness--in the wilderness, because you cannot see him--my voice, because my voice is Spirit; my Spirit is truth; truth abideth and hath no end; and if it be in you it shall abound.
67 And if your eye be single to my glory, your whole bodies shall be filled with light, and there shall be no darkness in you; and that body which is filled with light comprehendeth all things.
68 Therefore, sanctify yourselves that your minds become single to God, and the days will come that you shall see him; for he will unveil his face unto you, and it shall be in his own time, and in his own way, and according to his own will.
God bless you and your friend. Thank you for giving opportunity to address your inquiry.
