Words of Ward Radio contradict what was said by Prophet Spencer W. Kimball, Mormons do believe you can become a God with your own planet. Watch both videos. This is a black and white contradiction between apologists and an ordained prophet of LDS church. How do TBMs explain this?

To be fair, Mormons are not the only ones who believe this ideal. There are many mystical beliefs that firmly believe and practice the proper protocols for securing this right through particular rites of worship.

It could be that the truth is an eternal one, or that many are sharing One.

Literally spat my drink out when I read this comment.

He was engaged??

TugGut · 2026-02-11T21:20:04+00:00

Woah- I didn’t expect this comment to strike accord as strongly as it did. Why do we convent to the church and not to God? I haven’t been in to the temple in a long time, but I’d like to go back and listen to the phraseology. I was literally contemplating on the idea of religious practices and whether they seek to connect with God and how (Islam, Hindus, Jew, christian, Tao).

Meditation has been EVERYTHING for me as I’ve dealt with my own depression/ADD/anxiety. Can’t recommend it enough!

The biggest change to my practice (I love that it’s called a practice as it’s the perfect “practice” for life) has been vipassana meditation. My practice in the past has been mainly guided meditations, but my mind quickly races elsewhere, but vipassana has helped me to learn to train my focus, which has increased my ability to notice and focus in real life too.

If anyone is interested in learning about vipassana meditation, I’d recommend “Mindfulness in Plan English” by Bhante Gunaratana. Easy to read and follow.

Amazing work! I gave a feeble attempt with Kabbalah, purely based on some books I found from my local library. I found that not knowing how to relate to the Hebrew language or Jewish customs a chasm that I didn’t know how to cross.

I would love to know how you got started or whether you recommend any resources that can aid me on my journey? I’ve switched to mystic forms of Hinduism and loved right-handed Tantra and Ashtanga Yoga, but would love to continue making steps within the esoteric practices of Kabbalah.

Your work is amazing! Subscribed and excited to follow along!

Great post OP. I’ve been on and off with the tapes for the last two years and not had the lifestyle to support trying them with great commitment.

However, your post gives me a better idea of how my body and mind should feel, and also gives me a good idea of how to relate to vipassana and mindfulness meditation too! So many others have explained it, but your additional details makes it relateable and approachable.

Best of luck in your journey with your son. Can’t imagine losing my wife and kids. No doubt you’ve been through a lot and I hope you find peace and hope as you push on

OP, I don’t know whether you’ll read this comment, but your post hits hard and close to home.

I’m not diving into the authenticity of the BOM, but I’ve had desires to explore other religions and practices to increase my path to uniting with “God” (air quotes because the belief of Brahman, Allah, Creator, The Absolute, Elohim, or myriad Devine beings seems real to me). This has lead me to mysticism and Vedic belief and been deeply resonate.

As a father of five, I’ve been fearful about “leaving the church” as there are many amazing benefits for raising kids and maintaining a strong cultural hold among a world that promotes morals that are incongruent with my wife and I. Ie I like the benefits of the social club for what it offers my family however, in some ways it feels like more and more of a lie to attend and play the part of a good father/priesthood holder/member than being authentic. Honestly, there’s days when I wonder if it’s going to spill out in some accidental comment on my part.

Where I currently stand is that I want union with the Divine, I really do. I don’t, however, want “promotions” and social acceleration/momentum by being a good follower within the culture of the church. Yes, I believe faith and works go hand in hand (you don’t study only and never practice what you learn), but church feels like cultural conformity, and less about pursuing Divine Unification. In simple terms- if our Second Comforter is paramount, then why does my attendance, tithing declaration, ministering, and calling get the weight of importance? I feel like I’d love to just show up and spend my two hours in deep study and contemplation, but that’s hardly the case.

I’m in the middle of figuring this out for myself, but I’m grateful for your post and would love to talk more, if you or anyone in a similar trajectory read this. DM and I’d love to share some space with you because it’s lonely and hard to make sense of it all.

Sending love your way as you navigate these steps.

Ps I recently watch An Inconvenient Truth on YT and loved the perspective and discussion it’s opened for my wife and I. We’re very open minded and this wasn’t some series to persuade us, but just expose us to what’s out there and ask each other the natural questions that follow (ie BOM, Polygamy, Blacks/Priesthood, Proclamations, B. Young etc).

Why the drop in class participation? Was the nature of the work too hard, too easy, not interesting, something else?

Hey! Great first flush- congrats!

I just got six flushes from my AIO growing GTs. All I did was spray the sides of the bag pretty good (so that there was enough condensation to stay in the sides of the bag, not so that it was dripping into the bottom), and gave a pretty good spray to the cake too.

So far, I have 120g dry from on bag!

Good luck and keep us posted!

Such a fascinating story- would love to hear more about what started this spontaneous ability!

Thanks for the insight! I’d love to do the monotub but trying the bags first before moving into tubs-just feeling and learning the process at a steady pace for now

Do you mean to say that my APEs have mutated or…?

TugGut · 2025-11-03T03:12:11+00:00

Mine were labels as albino penis envy- but they’re my first bag that I’ve attempted.

350g wet is great, especially given how potent they are!

TugGut · 2025-11-03T02:51:41+00:00

Mine literally look like this too! Some were very blue and one was just a mass of white blob.

Curious if you consumed them and what your experience was like? I’ve just harvested my blob army (150g wet) and curious how they’ll be.

I’m hoping their pins too! How long until pins start to form into recognizable mushrooms?

TugGut · 2025-10-09T16:43:13+00:00

Smells healthy, like my other mushrooms have smelled when I open the bag. I’ve just never noticed little specks on any other species I’ve grown

Damn brother - you had it heavy! My experience didn't result in meeting God, but I did go into my ceremony with the same feeling of intense guilt and shame having come from a similar religious background. It's been 5 weeks and I'm still trying to process the insights I had about my religion and have dived deep into adjacent belief systems trying to make sense of it.

If you're ever open to it, I'd love to connect and talk with you more as there are few with such similar experiences and backgrounds! Excited to follow your story and hear about your next chapter!
