Trusting Myself Over Outside Voices: General Conference, the CES Letter & Finding My Beliefs - A Personal Reflection

Episode 52 Published 6 months, 1 week ago
Description

In this episode recorded on Easter Sunday during general conference, I share why I didn't actively watch. I didn't want to do mental gymnastics sifting through what resonated versus what didn't. I talk about my aunt's advice to focus on who she wants to be rather than combating others' beliefs. I share how I get most frustrated when I disagree with something but haven't formulated what I do believe yet. I reread the CES letter (anti-Mormon literature) and it didn't ruffle my feathers this time like it did before when doubt felt debilitating. What I thought was Satan was actually my brain trying to protect me from uncertainty. I'm questioning whether we're acted upon by external forces or if the power is already within us, believing in universal collective energy. I encourage you to focus on what you do want to believe rather than proving what you don't.
