What I Know
·
Love is real, and the most powerful energy,
tool, and philosophy
·
Perspective is personal, and the whole is
necessary for Truth – one is weak; many is powerful and closer to truth
·
Gratitude and humility are crucial to a happy
life
·
Serving others and operating outside myself make
me a happier person
·
Science is not Truth, but it is the pursuit of
truth
·
Faith is not Truth, but it is the pursuit of
truth
·
Religion is created by humans, and thus is
inherently flawed
·
Humans are beautiful – Humans are terrible –
Each and every human is both at once – “good” and “bad” are subjective and not
definitive
·
What I Believe
·
God exists
·
An afterlife exists
·
God is love and operates by love
·
Free will is crucial to God’s plan for us – our personality,
our choices, our experiences mean something
·
Christ taught Truth
·
God is actively involved, and inspires and
directs humans
·
The only way to move closer to God and heaven is
by becoming more one with all humans – moving together, and not building walls
·
People have the capacity to change, and are never
beyond that potential to change
·
Scripture is the pursuit of truth; the Book of
Mormon (along with many other works) was inspired by God
·
What I Hope
·
God is mutually male and female
·
Eternal progress is essential to God’s plan
·
Christ is my Savior, and I have the potential to
become more whole as I have faith in Him and His teachings
·
God gives humans part of Her/His power to act
and to do good and to build good things (including religion); that power
becomes greater the more humans work to attune themselves to it
