Description
In a series of 16, one-hour classes, author and researcher Anthony E. Larson will personally instruct you. Using slides and video clips to demonstrate these amazing and revealing ideas, he will lead you step by step through an adventure of discovery and insight.
The curriculum for these classes features a lengthy examination of ancient cosmological history and its bearing upon the restored gospel, the visions of the prophets, the imagery found in the scriptures and in our temples. These subjects will be explored in 16, one-hour sessions, just as you would in a college-level course. This course is a pre-recorded lecture/slide/video presentation.
You are welcome to take the classes in any order you wish, though it is strongly recommended that you follow the suggested order as each class builds upon information provided in the prior classes. Also, following the order will avoid the inevitable, perplexing questions that arise in your mind if the proper groundwork is not covered first.
This is groundbreaking research. It explains gospel symbolism. It explains the imagery used by the prophets and the Savior. It is not difficult to understand, but it does take some time to adjust to the new and exciting perspectives. Once you make that adjustment, you will be able to understand the most difficult scriptural symbolism with ease.
No other interpretation of gospel symbolism can help you achieve the level of comprehension you will achieve with this information. It will make reading the most difficult scriptural passages easy, like reading a newspaper of magazine. At at the same time, it will expand your gospel comprehension many fold. Lastly, your testimony of the Restoration and the Prophet Joseph Smith will grow exponentially.
These are not idle promises. This is the consensus of those who have taken this course.
To whet your appetite, a 9-minute, pre-recorded course preview is available on the at no cost. This preview includes an overview of the information contained in the course titled “The Ancient Skies and the Restored Gospel.” See what makes this course so different from other efforts you may have encountered in your gospel study, and learn what makes it so exciting and rewarding.
Please join us for the learning experience of a lifetime. You will be glad you did.

Class Titles and Descriptions
#1 – An Introduction
Discover how perception can distort or make invisible parts of the gospel. Visit the ideological struggle between Catastrophism vs. Gradualism. Learn why we know almost nothing about the true cosmological and geological history of our planet.
#2 – A New Paradigm
Find that there are really two gospels, one spiritual, one temporal. Learn the difference between gospel “mysteries” and “unknowns.” Discover the sweeping scope of this new paradigm and how it impacts our comprehension of the gospel.
#3 – From The Prophet’s Mouth
Learn what Joseph Smith and his contemporaries had to say about the ancient heavens and the Earth, an entirely different take than you were taught in school.
#4 – Ancient History: The Key
See, for the first time, the real cosmological history of our solar system and how that gave rise to the symbols, metaphors, myths and traditions of all cultures, both ancient and modern.
#5 – Archetypes & Motifs
Analyze the characters and the stories that ancient cultures assigned to the planets and plasma displays they saw overhead. See how they gave rise to the sacred and cultural traditions of the past.
#6 – The Crescent & the Pillar
Discover the many symbols that arose from the lighted limb of Saturn and the plasma pillar anciently and how those symbols were employed in ancient texts as well as scripture.
#7 – The One Story
All the prophets saw the same cosmological elements in vision. So each tells the same story, but from a perspective unique to their culture and era.
#8 – Mars & the Mountain
See how the career of one planet and a plasma discharge gave rise to similar myths and traditions in the past in all antique cultures.
#9 – Visions of the Prophets
Examine the visions of Ezekiel, Daniel and John’s Revelation using the planetary/plasma archetypes and motifs. Learn how to read prophecy for yourself.
#10 – Kolob & the Papyri
Learn the correct meaning of Kolob and all the explanations of the Egyptian papyri written by Joseph.
#11 – Temple Symbolism
Learn the application of cosmological history to our modern temple tradition, imagery, ritual and symbolism.
#12 – Adam to Armageddon
Review the timeline of Earth’s cosmological history, from beginning to end. See which events coincided with which prophets. Learn about the event the ancients called the “creation” and how that fits into cosmological history.
#13 – The Grand Sign
See for yourself each of the elements involved in a close planetary encounter. Find out what are the first “signs” of such an event as we might see it firsthand.
#14 – The Electric Universe
Discover the power that lights and organizes the universe, the power of God. See how the electromotive force that governs all things operates in the heavens.
#15 – Plasmas & Petroglyphs
Find the origin and meaning of ancient rock art using modern plasma physics. See the remarkable one-to-one likeness of images from the laboratory and ancient petroglyphs. See how the ancients pi:tured the “thunderbolts of the gods.” Learn how they can be reproduced in modern laboratory experiments with plasma.
#16 – Images from an Ancient Sky
Discover the prototypes of many ancient archaeological sites in modern plasma experiments that duplicate things seen in our ancient skies. See what the ancients saw that inspired sacred sites such as Stonehenge. Discover how electric discharge sculpted the face of all planets, including our own. Learn the mechanism behind the stories of cities and people destroyed by “fire from heaven.”

I’ve read all Tony’s books, listened to everything he’s said (that I can find), and taken his courses. He has saved my faith, rescuing me from the unknowing, blind, ‘spiritualists’ who’ve hijacked the church, squelching all intellectual discourse, and driving away the humble seekers of truth. If your faith is faltering, if you’re confused about what you hear at church, or read in the scriptures, just give Tony a try. He’ll save you, too.

I have taken just one of your courses online and I bought one of your books, And the earth shall reel to and Fro. While I believe that you do have some valid points I feel that you are throwing all your eggs into one basket. Not all catastrophe events can be caused by cosmological events, I am sure you are familar with this verse, but I interpret this verse as the earh obeying Enoch, Not Enoch being told by God when he should do these things to coincide with natural events. 13 And so great was the faith of Enoch that he led the people of God, and their enemies came to battle against them; and he spake the word of the Lord, and the earth trembled, and the mountains fled, even according to his command; and the rivers of water were turned out of their course; and the roar of the lions was heard out of the wilderness; and all nations feared greatly, so powerful was the word of Enoch, and so great was the power of the language which God had given him. and Matthew 17 20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. If the Lords servants are able to move mountains by their word, then surely the Lord and God the Father can also do these things at will. Omnipotent means :having complete or unlimited power. I think if you can find a more common ground of what God has caused to happen and what he may know what will happen you may gain a much more accepting audience.

And just what catastrophes are not cosmic? Earthquakes? Which even by conventional theory are caused by the shifting fragments of a shattered astral body? Sounds cosmic to me. Or perhaps volcanoes, which science, so-called, has yet to produce any compelling evidence to support their ‘plume’ hypothesis. Hurricanes, which all meteorologists believe to be caused by the combination of solar heat and the cold of space, are, again, cosmic in origin. Clouds themselves are only beginning to be understood as a combination of factors, at least one of which is the frothing of water vapor by cosmic rays. And the ancients were quite insistent that passing comets rained disease down upon mankind. In short, it’s all cosmic. Read D&C 88, especially around verse 45.

I don’t want to list all the prophesied events that are man made but I will leave you a link here to a place that has them all listed, Many people who have had visions, near death experiences, dreams , prophecies all saw man made plagues and nuclear war. I am saying that not all of the end time catastrophe’s will be cosmological, I suggest you read the slide show first, it is the most condensed version. Special attn to Geroge Albert Smith’s prophecy of the current president not being of European descent. Earthquakes are not caused by cosmological sources, they are caused by the earh itself. The shifting of tectonic plates. Not mars, venus, or jupiter. Volcanoes are the same way. Anyway here is the link, if it happens in the time period George Albert Smith predicts then you and I have barelyl six monhs to get ready. http://www.nofearpreps.com/

You have enlightened my understanding so much. I’ve been a nut over ancient life, and until your explanation, and the Electric Universe, I could not put it all together…. NOW I can… and to people that don’t understand what your trying to convey….my advice is Perspective.
