"In Mormon theology a figurative veil of forgetfulness is placed over the minds of eternal beings, clouding their knowledge of what came before and obscuring their view of the world to come. Mormons also believe that visionaries, both ancient and modern, have peered into the eternities to reveal the economy of heaven. Though authoritative statements about the afterlife can be found, relatively little is known about the souls prior existence. As with any mystery, this enigma has piqued the curiosity of inquisitive minds. Increasingly, a vision experienced by Mosiah Hancock that divulges details about the sociality and purpose of the pre-earth life in heaven has steadily gained popularity and acceptance among Mormons because it explains the nature of the premortal realm. As it turns out, however, the widely published account of Mosiah Hancocks revelation is not his at all, but a modern forgery." [Author]
