Over the years, I've realized that I don't like putting myself into spiritual boxes. Yes, I am a faithful and active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and I know it to be true. I love it and believe it with all my heart.
Still, I also have other beliefs about deeper doctrine, though, that most mainstream Christians would hate me for, and which people in my own church might disagree with. And that is okay!
I think that as long as we are following the true gospel of Jesus Christ and putting His teachings first, that is what matters. I think it is wonderful and natural to think about the mysteries of the universe and try to come up with explanations for them.
On YouTube, I always talk about how I believe in things like the Law of Attraction, astrology (to a certain degree), Feng Shui, meditation, yoga and other practices that some consider “new age.” I’ve been called a witch countless times in my video comments and have been told by so many mainstream Christians and Muslims that I’m going to hell just for THINKING about such things.
I don’t think this makes Muslims or mainstream Christians bad people. I think those particular commenters were just misinformed. I don’t consider myself to be the definition of a witch because I don’t worship other gods besides God the Father, I don’t worship idols, contact spirits or demons, I don’t do divination or consult psychics, and I don’t believe in reincarnation.
I love the way spiritual enlightenment feels. I can’t even describe how liberating it is. And the best part is, you never stop learning and you never stop becoming more enlightened as you get older, as long as you are willing to keep your mind open. This path has even helped me become less anxious and have more control over my emotions, which is such a blessing.
Never feel guilty for simply wondering, educating yourself and opening your mind to new ideas. It doesn’t mean you have to agree with those ideas. You are simply elevating to a higher vibration, and it feels amazing. <3
