"We find in the many treasure passages [in the scriptures] that the treasure is the wisdom and knowledge we left behind us when we came down to this earth. In the premortal existence, we left our treasure in God's treasury, in His keeping. There it is, and by our good works here we can add to it; more will be waiting for us when we go back. In the Jewish apocrypha, God orders, by His word, the lights in the heavenly height, and by the utterance of His mouth He opens the treasury, where the righteous have a store of good works preserved.....everything we add to our credit is being preserved in God's treasury."
- Hugh Nibley, Temple and Cosmos, p 232-3
