Hidden Wisdom

Meghan is joined by Jared Rubalcaba to discuss patterns of truth from the Ancient Egyptian civilization. Topics Include:

- Studying Without Bias
- Becoming a Temple
- Comparing Temple Practices and Patterns

Esoteric Egypt, Vol 1 Online Course

Jared Rubalcaba is a co-owner of Forbidden Adventure -- a Tour Company that specializes in esoteric, religious, cultural, and historical travel to destinations all over the world. Their mission is to provide meaningful and transformative experiences to the intentional traveler looking to capture knowledge, wisdom, and life-changing self-discovery. Jared also serves as a guide for some of their most frequented destinations including Peru, England, Scotland, and of course, his beloved Egypt. 

Jared received his Bachelor of Science in Outdoor Leadership Training; which has served as his foundation of Experience Management centered around learning and teaching others recreationally, professionally, and spiritually.  

Jared has been an Instructor for Martial Arts, SCUBA, Rock Climbing, Wilderness Survival, Leadership Development Training, and a myriad of Guide experiences across the globe.  

Jared’s professional career has been spent working primarily with Youth in Wilderness, Residential, or State Therapeutic Programs. His passion is the healing and self-discovery that can be found in nature and discovering one’s place in the cosmos. This bio should be accompanied by an image of him wearing a T-Shirt saying, “The Mountains are Calling, and I Must Go!” 

For Jared the connection between nature and spiritual nourishment is inseparable. 

As a young adult, Jared served a two-year Ecclesiastical Mission on the Kiribati (Kit-uh-bus) Islands; but his spiritual tutelage started at a much younger age and has lasted throughout his adult life—exploring various religions and scriptural texts from many sects of Christianity throughout history, Taoism, Buddhism, Indigenous creeds and rituals, Near Eastern Religions, Gnosticism, and Hermeticism. His years of religious studies have been the prelude to encountering the truths hidden in the symbols, rituals, hieroglyphs, and architecture of Egypt. 

For the past several years his focus has been on the oldest religious text in the world—the Ancient Egyptian Pyramid Texts—and has recently completed his own translation of the Pyramid of Unas. 

He married up to a woman entirely too good for him and together they have two deep-thinking and very funny boys.

Discovering Your Temple Insights by Aaron and Julie Bujnowski

Aaron and Julie Bujnowski are high school sweethearts. They met in the high school marching band when they were living in Nashville, Tennessee. Aaron was a Church member, and, at the time they met, Julie was not a member. She began to attend Church meetings and activities with him, eventually joining the Church in 1989. Aaron served as a missionary in the Chile Concepción Mission from 1990 to 1992, and they married shortly after he returned in 1992 in the Atlanta Georgia Temple. 

Both have served in numerous Church callings. Julie has served as a stake Relief Society president, a ward Young Women president, ward Primary president, and family history consultant, among others. Aaron has served as a bishop, stake high counselor, stake Sunday School presidency member, elders quorum president, Young Men president, ward Sunday School president, and seminary teacher, among others. He is currently serving as an ordinance worker in the Dallas Texas Temple.

They have both been actively involved in temple and family history work throughout their marriage. They have personally collected and performed ordinances for thousands of family names. Due to their efforts, Aaron and Julie have become the de facto family historians for both their families, which has offered them numerous opportunities to share the gospel with members of their extended family. They find great joy in the ordinances of the temple.

Julie has an associate of science degree in general studies and is a candidate to receive a bachelor of science degree in professional studies from Brigham Young University—Idaho. Aaron has bachelor and master of science degrees in chemical engineering from Brigham Young University—Provo, a master of business administration degree from the University of Texas at Austin, and is currently a candidate to receive a doctor of science degree in healthcare leadership from the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

They are parents of two adult children and live in Frisco, Texas.

Nate Christensen has been in banking for 20 years and currently manages a local bank. He and his wife also have several rental properties, including the Manti Cottage on Airbnb. The Manti Cottage, built in 1851, is one of Utahs oldest surviving houses.

Nate has a deep love for church history, and collects church memorabilia. His book collection is over 75,000 books, most of which are simply stored away on pallets in a couple shipping containers .

He and his wife, Rebecca, have held food storage as an important aspect of their lives since we were married, storing away wheat under their bed while living in an upstairs attic apartment. Since then, their efforts have continued to expand. They have eight children and a very busy modern lifestyle. Their 1 acre homestead features over 50 fruit trees, a large geothermal off-grid Greenhouse (where they are growing bananas and citrus), two milk cows, meat rabbits, lambs, chickens, and, of course, the dog and cat.
