“…And they who keep their second estate shall have glory added upon their heads for ever and ever”
Added Upon is an LDS fiction book that brings love to its purest. From pre-existence, through mortality, and into the spirit world beyond this life, Nephi Anderson tell us a sweet story depicting how life did not start here in mortality, and neither will end in this world. The plan of salvation shows how this mortal life is just a small part in a journey of souls, in which we are all immersed but only some of us will come to the next state. Nevertheless, just an eternal perspective could give us like Anderson said “…an opportunity for every deserving soul ” to achieve the highest estate, and live with the ones we love the most.
It is amazing to simple think that those we love on earth were also an important part of our lives in the pre-mortal existence. Just like Delsa and Homan were joined together in a very inspiring journey, we have the same opportunity to enjoy earthly experiences next to those whom we met before this life.
Specifically, I really like the literary way Anderson describes the feeling of love between Delsa and Homan:
“True love had awakened in two hearts. Through all the shifting scenes of earth-life, nothing like this had ever come to this mand and this woman. Love had waited all this time. The power that draws kindred souls together is not limited to the few years of earth-life".
Find someone to share the journey, a soul that understands you like no other, and loves you like no other, find someone that makes you feel that it was worth the wait.
Anderson, does a fantastic job of opening our mind to doctrines not taught. Just because they are not taught doesn't mean they are not true. For example the relationships we had with our family members in the pr-earth life. Its a comforting ward cuddly doctrine to consider the happy relationships we carried there that have the chance to be carried on her on earth and in the next life.
