| 0:00.0 | Welcome to a continuing discussion of section 49 and section 50 with Dr. Lily Anderson. |
| 0:06.8 | Let's now move to section 50 and |
| 0:10.4 | this is a revelation about you know manifestations of different |
| 0:15.0 | spirits and what what is happening here that leads Joseph Smith to receiving this one? |
| 0:20.0 | Basically, it's what it says right here in the heading that there were quite a few manifestations that were happening to members of the church and |
| 0:26.3 | and as it says so-called spiritual phenomena were not uncommon among the members |
| 0:31.7 | some of whom claimed to be receiving visions and revelations and you know we've talked about how the |

| 1:27.4 | sometimes |
| 1:29.4 | you know strong emotion can be mistaken for the spirit and I was like thank you for saying that because I've seen that a lot in my own life and in my |
| 1:37.5 | practice so we have to be |
| 1:40.5 | cautious about about emotion and I think that this section oh my goodness |
| 1:45.2 | it's a true favorite of mine. I hate to say that because all scriptures have amazing meaning and I have so many favorites |
