Searching for Truth
Follow-on to Oh God and Oh God (2) No ontology is perfect, some are useful. This still fluid (open for improvement). Clearly needs comment/feedback/critique…. Stepping back very briefly to say the obvious, we Mormons have been taught to pray this way: Address Heavenly Father Thank Him for our blessings Ask Him for the things we > > Read More …
Note: I have held this draft off since Aug 20-23, hoping to complete more of Part I…. Time to rethink what is included in the various parts, as additional insights are being layered on…. This last two weeks I have found myself focused on begging the Lord to purify and sanctify me, to complete my > > Read More …
While I had no specific date set for concluding my fasting, it seemed that two weeks ago, yesterday, would be a good time. I had been richly blessed, and had felt to express my gratitude. The problem was that during the course of fasting, I received even greater spiritual blessings. I was trapped. And secondly, > > Read More …
Note: while this post is not dependent on Part 1, that would provide context not included here. The Glory of God is Intelligence… The glory of God is intelligence, or, in other words, light and truth. (Doctrine and Covenants 93:36) So, what did I really learn at the conference? Well, as usual, it is somewhat > > Read More …
In starting off today’s prayer, I reflected upon yesterday’s choice experience with Joy and thanked Heavenly Father for it, all the while knowing that Joy’s and my perspectives were and are fundamentally different. Our spiritual experiences are always disparate. I thanked Him for those gifts I have received, and pondered/wondered/questioned why Joy was not able > > Read More …
Yesterday morning as I began my day and my prayers, I found myself focusing on securing the spiritual safety of my home. In response, I felt as though there was a bubble of protection centered at my location at the foot of the bed. The Spirit was strong, and stayed with me throughout the following, > > Read More …
There have been a great number of prayers lately asking Heavenly Father to teach me how to love and how to forgive. I previously held to the presumption that I already understood these primary virtues. Still, I knew I wasn’t progressing, and really haven’t for a very long time. It may seem like a rabbit > > Read More …
I have been spending a great deal of time on projects. Fixing up the new synagogue. Helping someone in great need rebuild their engine. Trying to finish the patio (aka, get the house ready to sell). I have also been spending a great deal of time researching “the law.” Naturally, writing gets pushed to the > > Read More …
If one where to ask a Sunbeam to draw a picture of a woman by the sea, one wouldn’t expect to see a creation like that of Konstantin Razumov (example: White Dressed Woman). But, would one ever expect a mature, sophisticated Konstantin to draw a stick figure and pass it off as art?
If the “higher law” you live has a “lower bar” than the “lower law” you disparage, you are probably missing something. I’ve been caught up researching and thinking about “the law” for months. Recently, I’ve started to have some breakthroughs, but that post will have to wait for a while. Since “coming to me” last > > Read More …
