The Meditations of a Latter-day Saint

The hierarchy of values based on the horizonal and vertical growth are worth discussing. This has been the primary reason for my desire to create this blogger. There is truth to what has to be said by Kristian with how human society has been losing its connection with the Divine. The Principles of the "Sacred Structure" God True Self Body & Action Family & Community Nature Vertical Structure Transcendence (King) Christ, or Higher Self-image (Priest) Excellence (Warrior) Love (Marriage) Horizontal Structure Nature (Mortality) These principles are important to understand, so that we can find meaning and purpose in our lives. Everyone has a purpose, and it's up to each of us to discover that. The Scriptures, both the Bible and the Book of Mormon are replete with examples of the Warrior-Priest, chief among them is the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the true archetype all of us are to emulate. There are others in holy writ who can be emulated. Abraham, Moses, Joshua, Samuel...

The Doctrine of Christ In the Book of Mormon, the Resurrected Christ appeared to the Nephites in the Americas, and ministered to them. During His time here, He ordained twelve apostles who would govern His Church in the Western Hemisphere. "And Nephi arose and went forth, and bowed himself before the Lord and did kiss his feet. ... "And the Lord said unto him: I give unto you power that ye shall baptize this people when I am again ascended into heaven. "And again the Lord called others, and said unto them likewise; and he gave unto them power to baptize. And he said unto them: On this wise shall ye baptize; and there shall be no disputations among you." -3 Nephi 11:19, 21-22 "And there shall be no disputations among you , as there have hitherto been; neither shall there be disputations among you concerning the points of my doctrine , as there have hitherto been. "For verily, verily, I say unto you, he that hath the spirit of contention is not of me , but ...

 "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." - Ephesians 6:12 Left vs. Right This has been the dichotomy for which the world has been plagued with Circa 1789, which was when the French Revolution began. It's been this way since that time period, and has circulated global politics, or social norms since the Reign of Terror. I reject the left versus right dichotomy, because it's ultimately a false paradigm. The real premise is based on good versus evil. I will use the Scriptures to illustrate my point. Good vs. Evil In the Book of Mormon an angel of the Lord said to Nephi, "Behold there are save two churches only; the one is the church of the Lamb of God, and the other is the church of the devil; wherefore, whoso belongeth not to the church of the Lamb of God belongeth to that great church, which is the mother of abominations;...

 After some contemplations over making this new blogger account, I felt motivated to create this following the martyrdom of Charlie Kirk on September 10, 2025. Nobody should ever have to live in fear because of how people may respond to the things they believe, speak, or do, especially when it's for the sake of improving human society. Charlie Kirk's efforts for having a civil discussion with people whom he had a disagreement with, was, simply put, a healthy desire to find a place of harmony. This is something to which all should have a desire to emulate, but the world has come to witness through this horrific event, that those who can't hold an argument will come to blows of violence and destruction. Charlie Kirk was in the business of discussing ideas, policies, and the need for developing moral character of American citizens. In writing this new post, I desire to simply place here through this channel of communication, my thoughts on matters which I care about. I have my...
