The Gospel Changes a Servant into a Brother

[sugarchateau]

We feel stuck, servants, to our desire for pleasure. Avoiding facing our responsibility of our own fears, doubts and shame. Instead projecting it onto others. When we seek knowledge and answers, we become brothers that have found ourselves, our responsibility and the understanding of compassion in unconditional love.

22: "if adam had not transgressed he would not have fallen"

23: "and they would not have children... and would not know joy because they would not know sin."

24: "But behold, all things have been done in the wisdom of him who knoweth all things."

(2 Nephi 2:22-24)

We are people born in a physical world that exists on a delicate balance of polarity (of which is perfect design by God, all things are built by God, he intended for there to exist positive and negative for the existence of creation and death, to learn lessons for us to ascend our knowledge and energies)- programmed and destined to be broken for us to face unique challenges that if we go through the acceptance of our pain we learn how to expand our soul and our minds ascend through psychological adaption from a lack/fear based mindset to an abundant mindset. Born to listen and obey to the world and follow the world or learn to be assertive, stand up for yourself and believe in Gods unconditional love that you are loved as everything you are now, deserving of failing and trying again. Your daily routine/habits exposes your unique purpose- more specifically, what do you struggle with daily... where does your heart tell you to go but you deny it because your doubt and fear stop you?

“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”

(2 Corinthians 12:9)

We are imperfect for a reason, not to aim for perfection... But to accept ourselves as everything we are now, children of God, so that we feel worthy of allowing us to face our fears of failure- to fall and find strength in God to pull ourselves through again... Towards learning. Because it's these challenges in our life that expand our soul.

"hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm until your end" (Hebrews 2:6)

That voice in your head, exists. As your intuition, subconscious, third eye, holy ghost. Spirit is in you. We are interconnected through spirit. Like a coral reef that is connected but experiences different realities, we channel energies because we are all connected through spirit. Every-time we act on what the small voice inspires within us through feeling, even if it goes against what our logical mind believes is rational and goes against what we think we know... Every time we listen to it.. we discover that we can trust in the unknown (because we need to understand that we will never know everything, that is Gods role), when we find the courage and faith to trust and take action inspired from our hearts. But we must work on taking care of ourselves and our hearts. We harden our hearts because of the realities and challenges of the world. This hardening of our heart, cuts us from allowing us to trust in the unknown, from ever having compassion for others (even though we all face the same pain, through different unique situations limited to our experiences, something we should never expect to understand)... When our heart is open to trusting in the challenging, unexplainable journey that life challenges us to test our faith... and after we FOLLOW THROUGH these actions (pushing through our fear and doubt), we discover our connection to God/source/spirit which leads us to deepening our belief... Based off our own actions- leading us to growing in courage and internal strength.

There will always be pain in life. Find the confidence to pursue these inner challenges within and discover the true warrior that is spiritual- and after conquering each spiritual challenge we achieve the ability to love ourselves enough to face our fears and we become warriors in the process of building a foundation of courage... When we achieve the ability to love ourselves enough to love and accept our pain, that we believe we are worthy enough of finding a way to healthily express our pain... we achieve building on courage...

I'm not perfect, but this knowledge is known to those that seek it- after all the imperfection we face together, we can share this peace. I only want to inspire hope... Know that unconditional love lives, you are loved despite your failures and weaknesses... and in fact become strong after pushing through... You become who you are after it all...

"hope we have as an anchor of the soul" Hebrews 6:19

What is written in concept... is well said.

I think the Bible explains the context to what is going on and the solution. Not aware of JCLDS Nephi, never heard of that haven't gotten into that.

Yes, we are spiritual beings, we are in a fallen world. The root energy is love, that is God, God is! But we are in a fallen world which consists of other energies that so easily consume us... shame, fear, et. c.. Jesus showed us what God looks like in flesh form, demonstrated God, and gave us the path out of living in sin, that is fallen emotion. From all of the struggles we learn and grow.

I don't like that the situation because so many beings suffer here and some never see the way out given their circumstances, and even the "saved" and those with great resources can seem good but be selfish and do sin to fellow man... without even realizing it. But I do thank God for a solution.

If the Bible is right... we chose the knowledge of good and evil, and that, we are learning the hard way!

I liked some of those biblical quotes, I did not know you liked the scriptures. Thanks for your thoughts.

Thanks for MHO, sugarchateau, keep me updated about this spiritual warrior priestess journey you are having.

[sugarchateau]

here, i'll give you an update now: i'll forever remain human and imperfect, it's still painful, the acceptance of everything as it is now and understanding that I will never understand everything... never ceases to challenge me in new ways that I never expect- my intuition even deceives me so that I may be humbled to accept the flexibility of always being on the lookout to learn new lessons and to listen more... I'm supposed to let go of the pain each time, with each new mundane challenge, i struggle with holding onto it- due to deeper issues that I have a tendency to ignore (bc I second guess myself and what I know- how I am destined to be in order to learn my unique lessons to my life path). I'll never be all-knowing, but i'm finding my strength in my weakness-- again and again-- the journey of having faith in the unknown hurts, but the lessons I learn are saving me. It's the weirdest most human yet supernatural experience of my life. I wish I didn't feel so alone- but that is also part of my journey of unique lessons connected to learning how to let go of pain. :,) It's so weird that we can be so imperfect/weak/stupid/angry, yet have these amazing abilities and access to information when we decide to turn in and listen to our spirit which is connected to source... Super weird to me because I doubt that I am even worthy of expressing the things I am guided to. It seems so, beyond me. I guess we never really feel we deserve anything unless we truly accept everything as it is- as it is meant to be. fucking spiritual lessons man... sending me on a loop.

Carl Sagan Quotes

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.

Carl Sagan
Tags: astronomer, science, writer
You
Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there-on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot.

Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.

The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.

[sugarchateau]

That reminds me of the Lone Ship in the Dark Vast Sea Theory of Life- one planetary existence appears at a time- not knowing of each others existence because they appear more than 30 billion years apart from each other after enough super novas that create the right ingredients for a similar evolutionary path.

You ever read any Carl Sagan, he made some documentaries in the seventies.

Very cool.

[sugarchateau]

I don't believe i have! I'm not sure, I'll have to look into it later.
