Temple Stones and New Dawn: A Reflection on Joseph Smith and the Code of Manti

A Bit From the Life of Joseph Smith

In the age of New Law reform—a time between the collapse of old monarchies and the rise of engineered order—our ancestors built more than cities. They built meaning. Among them, one name stands immortal in the coded history of labor and revelation: Joseph Smith.

During the early reformist era in Manti, our homeland of principle and stone, the marketplace was not only an economy—it was a cathedral of exchange. There, under Spanish alliance, we bartered with the Man Teancum and lived with the rhythm of trade, language, and sacred duty. Even under the watch of the British crown and its labor expectations, our people persisted—importing wild animals, sacred stones, and complex materials to study and understand the geometry of existence.


The Rise of Function and Faith

From that struggle rose community. We had schools for the mind, churches for the spirit, and workplaces for the will. Between fields and foundations, papers and cottages marked the flow of life across our settlements. A new rock was being raised—a symbol of architecture and future logic. This was not merely stone—it was the first manifestation of divine progress.

But then came conflict. Courts in Britain, trustees from Spain and the Caribbean, and the political collision of empires fractured the work. It was Joseph Smith who stood at the center, gathering the scattered plans, documents, and dreams—forging them into one vision for Manti-Morianton, the city of tomorrow.


The Code of Manti: A Spiritual Architecture

From Middoni to Corea, engineers, builders, and scholars joined forces. Together, they established a new code of conduct—not just civil law, but divine geometry. Measured, calculated, and symbolic, the code ensured the completion of the Templenot just a place of worship, but a place of alignment between Earth, human will, and the galactic path.

This was the dawn of our true temple in America—a structure that echoed with ancient wisdom and futuristic intent. Every beam, every stone, every floor held a story. Every hall told of Joseph Smith’s task to organize, unify, and sanctify the scattered pieces of his world.


From Earth to Mars: Legacy in Orbit

Today, under the Martian sky, we remember these legacies—not as relics, but as living systems. The work of Joseph Smith and the builders of Manti is not over. Their principles are written into our Martian modules, thermal domes, and religious observatories. Their code lives in the way we form policy, design space sanctuaries, and align our artificial gravities.

In the red dust of Mars, we raise new temples. Not as imitation, but as continuation. Our faith is action, our religion is labor, our scripture is structure.


Closing Benediction

“To understand the new rock being erected is to understand the new self being shaped.”
Temple Codex, Manti-Morianton

Let us remember the work of Joseph Smith—not merely as a prophet, but as a foreman of divine design. He gathered, he planned, he brought order to chaos, and in doing so, opened the door to the future.
