It’s the two-year anniversary of my official resignation from the Mormon Church! I thought I’d do a little post reviewing the journey.

In 2020, I moved out of my parents’ house to stay with friends who were nonreligious. At the time, I had no idea this would give me a little breathing room from the church to explore myself, especially combined with the pandemic. In fact, at the time, having to attend church via zoom and not having access to the sacrament (because I was assigned female at birth) was painful to me.

But it did give me breathing room. And in 2021, I felt able, for the first time, to come out as gay.

My nonreligious friends’ reaction was loving and accepting.

My parents’ and LDS friends’ reaction was about what you’d expect. Earthly trials, temptations, the “gay lifestyle”, Family Proclamation, law of chastity, etc.

But I loved the church. I clung to it.

Until August 2021, when Jeffrey Holland gave his infamous “musket fire” talk right after a lesbian newly couple was brutally shot and murdered in Utah.

One of the friends I was living with, a kind older woman, listened to me sobbing on her counter about it. She cut through my attempted explanations of how Elder Holland is normally so loving, how he gives talks about mental health, how he cares about people—

She cut through that, looked me in the eye, and said, “That’s hate speech. What he said in that talk is hate speech.”

I realized that I wouldn’t accept that kind of speech from anyone else.

I cried myself to sleep that night and woke up a complete nonbeliever: in Mormonism, in prophets, in priesthood, in Jesus, in God. What a traumatizing earthquake of an experience that was. But it had happened, and I could not undo it.

It took a long time to process everything. I remember crying with shame and nervousness the first time I tried to wear a tank top; I remember feeling so incredibly rebellious the first time I took a sip of coffee. I remember swearing feeling so, so wrong and taboo at first, but then one day I discovered it could feel powerful or cathartic or even playful. I remember being completely mortified by the first (very tame) sex scene I saw in a movie.

I read books on deconstruction, religious trauma, alternative spiritual paths, and practices (like secular meditation) that could fill that gap. I worked to reparent my inner child and undo the shame and fear that had been ground into me. I spent a lot of time in nature. I wrote my thoughts out, deliberately studying people I looked up to—real and fictional—figuring out which of their traits I found so important, what kind of person I wanted to be. I wrote down the values I’d been taught and tried to untangle what I agreed with, what I wanted to discard, and what new ideas I wanted to add. I dipped into church issues, both modern and historical, that had bothered me, and tried to process those issues as well (something I’m still doing, because I’m slow going when it comes to that).

The friend who had told me Holland’s talk was hate speech advised me to wait a year before officially resigning. She said it was best to make decisions like that with a settled mind. I’m glad she told me that, because I think if I’d done it impulsively in a time of high emotions, I might have questioned the decision when looking back.

I waited a year and then began looking into the process, because I was sure. It wasn’t impulsive; it wasn’t emotional; I was sure that the future I wanted was not a future in the Mormon church.

There are several options for resigning, which you can read about in detail on getmeofftherecords.com. I went with the option of sending a notarized letter to church headquarters. I began drafting my letter, starting with a basic template provided on that website. I fiddled around with the draft—I wasn’t completely sure what I wanted to focus on. Around this time, I heard about that horrible child sex abuse case in Arizona, and that clinched it. I don’t know if anyone even really reads these letters. If they do, I hope they thought about mine, even for a few seconds. I hope they thought about the fact they work for a church that spends money on lawyers and court fees to defend its right to hide child rape.

September 13, 2022, I got up early and went to go see the sun rise. (These pictures are from that day!) Then I stopped by the post office and mailed the letter. A few days later, confirmation from church headquarters came in the mail: I was officially no longer a member.

I’m still growing! After more self exploration, I realized I’m nonbinary. I’d consider myself an agnostic atheist but I’ve dipped into secular witchcraft, non-theistic paganism, soft animism, druidry, and other paths I’m curious about. It’s genuinely exciting to realize that my life and beliefs are 100% a choose-your-own-adventure project. I’ll never again be locked onto one path or limited to what someone else tells me to believe. That freedom, most of all, is what has made life outside Mormonism so much better and healthier for me.

Instructions For Holding Satsang - Spiritual Awakening Radio Podcasts

Kirpal Singh: "The books written by the Master should be read in the Satsangs, as these give a clear cut view of the subject, as also carry the life impulse of the Master and as such will bless the dear ones with right understanding of the Holy Path. Relevant portions of the books of other Masters, viz: Kabir, Nanak, Christ, etc., dealing with Sant Mat, Surat Shabad Yoga may also be referred to where necessary... "For the subject of a talk, we may take up the hymns from any scripture, preferably from the Masters of the Sound Current. It may be supplemented by apt quotations from the parallel writings of other Master Saints. The Holy Gospels themselves are full of such material as may fit in with such a context. The illustrations from various Masters are essential so as to bring out the essential unity in the teachings of all the Saints."

Satsang is a term that means association ('sang') with the Eternal Timeless Truth or God ('Sat'). Satsang means "association with Eternal Truth" as well as "association with God," and is to some extent comparable to "church" or "temple," but not in any institutional sense. A saying of Jesus in the New Testament provides a good definition of a Satsang meetup: "Where two or three are gathered in My Name, I Am there in their midst."

The format of Satsang can include: someone giving a spiritual discourse, instruction on putting the Path into practice, a video or audio of a Master (Sant Satguru) giving a talk, readings from the writings of the Masters, the reciting or singing of banis, bhajans or kirtans (hymns of worship composed by Sants), and silent group meditation. It's considered the greatest of blessings if it is a Master who conducts the Satsang in person (or in this age of live streaming, via the web).

The effect of Satsang is that of DIVINE REMEMBRANCE, thus, with such a spiritual boost, encouragement and support for the spiritual journey, those who go to Satsang are much more likely to stay-on-the-Path and put effort into their own daily spiritual practice at home. Thus will the life of the Bhakta (lover, devotee, disciple) become more and more God-intoxicated by imbibing the spiritual wine, the nectar of divine love.

Also Covered During This Satsang Podcast: People's Attention Drowning in a New Age Soup: In an Age of Junk-Food Spirituality and Endless Internet Memes, What Satsang is NOT -- Satsang is intended to be an oasis, a refuge from the agitations of the mind, maya/illusion, the labyrinth of the world (and astral plane);

Instructions for Holding Satsang, The Purpose of Satsang, Satsang Apart from Rituals, Subject and Scope of Satsang, Love and Service the Basis of Satsang, according to Sant Kirpal Singh;

Extracts from Letters of Huzur Baba Sawan Singh About Satsang ("The Less Organization, the Better");

Authentic Traditional Satsang Templates True to the Path: "For the subject of a talk, we may take up the hymns from any scripture, preferably from the Masters of the Sound Current. It may be supplemented by apt quotations from the parallel writings of other Master Saints. The Holy Gospels themselves are full of such material as may fit in with such a context. The illustrations from various Masters are essential so as to bring out the essential unity in the teachings of all the Saints." (Kirpal Singh, Instructions For Holding Satsang)

The Three Levels of Sat-Sang: The First Level of Satsang (Association with God), The Second Level of Satsang (Association with the Saints), The Third Level of Satsang (Association with the Writings of Sages and Saints), by Swami Sant Sevi Ji Maharaj;

The Essential Guide to Finding the Perfect Sydney Celebrant for Your Special Day

Planning a wedding can be both exhilarating and overwhelming, especially when it comes to selecting the right celebrant. In Sydney, where stunning locations and diverse cultures converge, choosing the perfect celebrant is crucial to ensure your ceremony reflects your unique love story. Whether you envision a traditional ceremony or something more unconventional, this guide will walk you through the steps of finding the ideal Sydney celebrant to officiate your special day.

Understanding the Role of a Celebrant:

Before diving into your search, it's essential to understand the role of a celebrant. Unlike religious officiants, celebrants offer a more personalized approach to wedding ceremonies. They work closely with couples to craft a ceremony that aligns with their beliefs, values, and personalities. From writing personalized vows to incorporating cultural traditions, celebrants play a pivotal role in creating a meaningful and memorable ceremony.

Researching Sydney Celebrants:

The first step in finding the perfect Sydney celebrant is conducting thorough research. Start by browsing online directories and wedding websites that list Sydney-based celebrants. Pay attention to their profiles, reviews, and sample ceremonies to get a sense of their style and personality. Additionally, seek recommendations from friends, family members, or wedding vendors who have firsthand experience working with celebrants in Sydney.

Discussing Ceremony Details:

During your meetings with potential celebrants, be prepared to discuss the specific details of your ceremony. Whether you're planning a traditional church wedding, a beachside elopement, or a themed ceremony, make sure the celebrant understands your preferences and any cultural or religious traditions you wish to incorporate.

Finalizing Your Choice:

After meeting with potential Sydney celebrants and discussing all the details, it's time to make your decision. Consider factors such as rapport, experience, and alignment with your vision for the ceremony. Trust your instincts and choose the celebrant who you feel will best represent you as a couple on your wedding day. Once you've made your decision, be sure to secure their services by signing a contract and paying any required deposits.

Collaborating on Ceremony Script:

With your celebrant selected, it's time to collaborate on crafting the perfect ceremony script. Many celebrants offer customizable ceremony templates or can work with you to create a completely bespoke script from scratch. This is your opportunity to infuse your personalities, love story, and values into the ceremony, ensuring it truly reflects who you are as a couple.

Conclusion:

Choosing the perfect celebrant is a crucial step in planning your wedding ceremony. In Sydney, where diversity and creativity thrive, couples have a wealth of options when it comes to finding the ideal officiant for their special day. By conducting thorough research, meeting with potential celebrants, and discussing all the details, you can ensure that your ceremony is a true reflection of your love and commitment. So, take your time, trust your instincts, and enjoy the process of finding the perfect Sydney celebrant to officiate your wedding.

Convincing Sponsorship proposal

Create a Convincing Sponsor Proposal.

Written Paper Icons - Download Free Vector Icons | Noun Project

Now that you’ve set your goals and made a list of potential sponsors, you can start creating your sponsor proposal. This is usually in the form of a letter or email that details what your organization does, how much funding you need, and what you plan to use it for.

There are different types of sponsor proposals. These might vary according to what you’re requesting support for, and who you’re requesting it from. Is the sponsorship for a specific event, a nonprofit organization, a church, or maybe a school? Is your targeted sponsor a big corporation, a local shop, or an individual? Being specific with your proposal according to these categories might make a difference. For more detailed information on different types of sponsorship proposal letters, check out Fundly’s great blog post on sponsorship letter templates.

There are also online services like Sponseasy, which help you create professional-looking sponsorship proposals and export them easily. They usually have customizable templates that you can use, too.

Tips to Write the Most Effective Sponsorship Proposals:

Contact personally if you can. This way, your sponsors can view you as an individual, rather than a nameless and faceless organization behind a screen. Personal communication rather than letters or emails is always preferred. It helps build more solid connections.

Explain yourself clearly. Give your mission statement and provide information about your demographic. Show them why you deserve their attention and support. Tell your story in a captivating way from the get-go. A personal story will always elicit an emotional response, which will positively influence their decisions.

Present data. The best way to give information about your organization is through actual data. Prove your worth to guarantee sponsorships. Keep in mind that too many statistics can be boring to read through, so make sure you filter them well.

Be direct with your proposal. Clearly specify the estimated amount that you will need. Avoid selling yourself too short, but also state that you will consider whatever they’re willing to offer. Don’t be afraid to push limits.

Offer fitting benefits. If all you’re offering for $20,000 is a logo featured on your website, for example, you will struggle to get funds. Determine and present benefits that will intrigue your sponsors. Be open to further suggestions and offers.

Carry On!

Let’s face it, there will probably be times when your proposals will get ignored. When that happens, don’t be afraid to follow up. But when you’re doing so, try not to suffocate your potential sponsors. Simply inform them of your organization and why you need funding again. Re-clarify your needs and your benefits offering without being overbearing.

In the case that you get a negative response, ask for feedback on why they weren’t interested. You can also try offering other ways they can help instead of monetary funds. If this doesn’t change their decision as well, simply move on to other possible supporters. Rejections are bound to happen, but there are tons of other opportunities waiting for you. Don’t be discouraged, and keep trying!

"The custom of Mother Church in baptizing infants is certainly not to be scorned, nor is it to be regarded in any way as superfluous, nor is it to be believed that its tradition is anything except apostolic." (St Augustine).

"Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him. John tried to prevent him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and yet you are coming to me?”

"Jesus said to him in reply, “Allow it now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.”

"Then he allowed him. After Jesus was baptized, he came up from the water and behold, the heavens were opened for him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming upon him. And a voice came from the heavens, saying, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.” (Matthew 3: 13 - 17).

Monday 9th January 2023 is the great feast of the Baptism of the Lord.

"I have baptized you with water; he will baptize you with the holy Spirit.” (Mark 1: 8).

John the Baptizer bore witness to Jesus as the expected Messiah who will baptize us with the Holy Spirit. (Mark 1: 8). Who is the Holy Spirit and why is the Baptism in the Holy Spirit the ultimate Christian experience?

#1. The Holy Spirit is the Big Gift. The Free Gift.

#2. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of joy and consolations. A rich experience of joy and consolations await us when we are baptized in the Holy Spirit.

#3. "The Spirit is the one that testifies, and the Spirit is truth." (1 John 5: 6).

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth who leads us to all the truth about the person and work of Jesus the Christ.

The Baptism of Jesus launches His mission. Our Baptism with the Holy Spirit should similarly launch our mission. This is because the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Mission and the Mission is Evangelization. The Church exists for only one purpose: to evangelize. It is the Holy Spirit who helps us to accomplish this Mission.

Have you been baptized with the Holy Spirit? Yes. At your Baptism. The grace of the Holy Spirit we received at Baptism was strengthened or confirmed in the Sacrament of Confirmation.

What if you say: I have been baptized and confirmed but I don't experience the joy and consolations of the Holy Spirit. Why? There could be two reasons:

#1. Activate the Holy Spirit in you. Like a new credit card, you need to activate it before you can start to use it. How do you activate the Holy Spirit?

Ask with expectant faith for the Holy Spirit to come to you and become active in you.

You can make a 9 Day Novena to increase your desire and preparation. There are many websites on the internet with Holy Spirit Novena templates.

#2. The second reason why you may not experience the promised joy, peace and comforts of the Holy Spirit is Sin. Any unconfessed sin will block the gift of the Holy Spirit.
