I have seen some discussions regarding "Seers" which have danced around this concept without really getting to it... So, here is my attempt to do just that.
Sometimes I enjoy asking questions and letting people come to there own conclusions. This time, I think I'll stick out my neck a bit and answer my own questions and see what thoughts others can add...
The question is, How far did we progress as spirits before gaining a mortal body?
I believe that we progressed as far as spirits could progress without receiving a body. I think this is commonly taught church doctrine. what is not commonly taught is what that means to us...
How far can a spirit progress without a body?
Well, the spirit Jehovah had progressed to become a God prior to receiving a body. And we are all aware that the Holy Ghost also progressed to becoming a God and according to current LDS Doctrine has yet to receive a body.
So we know that spirits can progress to become God's prior to receiving bodies. To me this makes sense and further, the spirit says to me that we, having progressed as far as spirit is able to progress without a body likewise had progressed to becoming Gods in the Spirit world.
Now we are building on our first estate and having mastered it we are now adding to it the second estate which we are attempting to master thereby becoming Gods over it as well.
This then bring us to the questions that follow:- What did we do as Gods in the premortal world?
- What gifts and powers did we have then?
- Do our glorified spirits continue to have these same gifts and powers?
- Can we relearn to use these gifts and powers as spiritual beings having a physical experience?
I think this is a good start, lets see how deep we can go with this...
