Experiencing Theology

I find that I see my theological path as very personal.  I know how really strong my faith is.  I see religious populations as separate from me.  My spirituality contains a guide who I speak to.  He is with me and he comforts me.  I do not pray to this guide.  He is not religious.  I do not find him holy, I find him military.  He is not here to be devout or pious.  He is a sentinal to me.

As I walk into mormonism, I find it a bit challanging.  I believe that I am asking myself to establish new neural pathways because there is new theology to command.  It overlaps the time of the bible and introduces new prophets and old prophets.  It is hard to read which book is considered higher and more holy to mormans themselves.  I wonder about the prophet Joseph Smith.  I wonder about his theological and educational background.  How was he really able to decipher the plates, and get the funds to pay for publishing them?  How did the developing religion decide that these teachings were holy?  Do mormons follow doctrine or teachers more?  How does this society feel about outsiders and other religions?  Do they see them as sinful?

There are so many questions, but in this time of change in the world, what is their plan of action for when we face economic, governmental, and environmental changes?  Are they a community that plans actively?  How do their prophets give them strength in the face of adversity?  Would David or Moses be seen as higher than Joseph Smith?

It is my belief that 2012 is a transformative reality.  I do not have the gift of prophecy.  I have to just concentrate on the day in front of me.  Maybe prophets will come to be.  Maybe God is a reality.  I see a rightous ragey justice coming to be.  People have harmed me, and thus they have defined their path.  I now believe that mormons have a destiny.  I believe they are a people who can see.  I observe and learn.  My eyes are wide and I know that in just a moment we can all deal with the quick and the dead.   The ship is quaking and we are about to leave, I repeat that mormons have a destiny.  Yeah TEAM UTAH!!!
