All About Mormons

As a practicing Buddhist, complacency and routine hindered my progression. Redoubling my meditative efforts and stepping up my study regimen failed to energize or stimulate my static level of understanding. What I rationalized to be a more gradual upward plane of learning and realization was, in fact, a stagnant plateau.

My personal focus on my desire to advance my level of understanding led me to encounter the last philosophical avenue I EVER thought I would approach. To that point, Christianity was out of the question and Mormonism was, in my mind, akin to Elvis worship. The circumstances are unimportant, but, I encountered the LDS Church.

I investigated Mormonism with great skepticism and even trepidation. I considered Christian theorem facile, the practice sycophantic and Mormons to be little more than naive stubborn misguided children. I was sure that the discipline I had developed over the years would dwarf any amount of piety or knowledge that I might encounter in this mere church/cult.

What I discovered was a doctrine that was profound and encompassing beyond anything I had heretofore experienced and a practice that was even more profound, humbling and awe inspiring in it’s simplicity and practical effectiveness.

I did not switch, I did not regress, I did not renounce anything that the previous 30 years had taught me. On the contrary, with the plain and simple truths that the Book of Mormon presented, I multiplied my sight beyond what I believed was mortally possible.

What I practice now envelopes and infinitely augments what I studied for more than half my life. I experience oneness in a manner and a frequency that I never thought attainable. I utilize a power and authority that I could only recognize, observe from afar and aspire to in the past.

I have experienced the true glory of my Heavenly Father’s plan. I have felt the love of my Savior. I know that He lives.
