- Ether 12:19-21…With faith, one breaks the veil
- Mosiah 3:2...And the things which I shall tell you are made known unto me by an angel from God. And he said unto me: Awake; and I awoke, and behold he stood before me
- “Nothing is going to startle us more when we pass through the veil to the other side than to realize how well we know our Father and how familiar his face is to us.” (Ezra Taft Benson, Ensign, Dec. 1988, 6)
- 3 Nephi 23:11…And Jesus said unto them: How be it that ye have not written this thing, that many saints did arise and appear unto many and did minister unto them?
- “On the other side of the veil, there are perhaps as many as 70 billion people. They need the gospel, and releases occur here to aid in the Lord’s work there. Though we miss the departed righteous so much here, hundreds may feel their touch there. One day, those hundreds will thank the bereaved for gracefully foregoing their extended association with choice individuals here in order that they could help hundreds there. In God’s ecology, talent and love are never wasted.” (told by Cory Maxwell what his dad had taught. Shared at his fathers funeral) Church News, July 31, 2004, p.4
- “The veil which separates us from the spirit world sometimes seems very thin to us…however, surely those who have passed beyond, can see more clearly through the veil back here to us than it is possible for us to see them from our sphere of action. I believe we move and have our being in the presence of heavenly messengers and heavenly beings. We are NOT separate from them ….we are close to our kindred, to our ancestors, to our friends, and associates and co-laborers who have preceded us into the spirit world. They see us better than we can remember them….they know us better than we know them…I claim we live in their presence, they see us, they are solicitous of our welfare, they love us now more than ever…For they see the dangers that beset us; they can comprehend, better than ever before, the weaknesses that are liable to mislead us into dark and forbidden paths. They see the temptations and the evils that beset us in life and the proneness of mortal beings to yield to temptation and to do wrong; hence their love for us, the solicitude for us, and their love for us, and their desire for our well being, must be greater than that which we feel for ourselves.” Joseph F. Smith, Gospel Doctrine p.429
- “Whether you need to put your personal life in order to obtain a temple recommend or whether you are just careless about this work and have allowed worldly matters to take precedence-whatever the reason, be moved to make the change. Firmly resolve now that you will do everything you can do to aid temple work and the genealogical work that supports it and to assist every living soul and every soul beyond the veil in every way you can with every resource at your disposal.” The Holy Temple, Boyd K. Packer
