Behold, I have dreamed a dream

"Behold, I have dreamed a dream; or, in other words, I have seen a vision. . . . I beheld a tree, whose fruit was desirable to make one happy. And . . . I did go forth and partake of the fruit thereof; and I beheld that it was most sweet, above all that I ever before tasted. . . . And as I partook of the fruit thereof it filled my soul with exceedingly great joy; wherefore, I began to be desirous that my family should partake of it also; for I knew that it was desirable above all other fruit. . . . And the beauty thereof was far beyond, yea, exceeding of all beauty; and the whiteness thereof did exceed the whiteness of the driven snow. . . . After I had seen the tree, I said unto the Spirit: I behold thou hast shown unto me the tree which is precious above all. And the angel said unto me: . . . Knowest thou the meaning of the tree which thy father saw? And I answered him, saying: Yea, it is the love of God, which sheddeth itself abroad in the hearts of the children of men; wherefore, it is the most desirable above all things. And he spake unto me, saying: Yea, and the most joyous to the soul."
