Those are wise words- makes me think of the Faith and Prayer series. 

When I've noticed doubts arise I make a commitment to experiment.  Some of the experiments I have taken up that are related to the identity issue are; I express my desire to experience the truth in my sleep state.  I had several dreams and sleep state experiences that expanded my understanding and awe at the amazing love that they share- but most importantly revealed the injuries and addictions I still have blocking the way to true KNOWing.  (blocks include Expectation, Gender issues, Anger at the world)

I also prayed for more interaction with Celestial Spirits who lived and listened to Jesus in the first century.  I haven't been trusting my mediumship over the last 6 month- but last October I did have one great conversation that really broke through the anger I've had at the christian institution for how they have handled and mishandled the truth, especially about Mary. 

The final experiment I have undertook so far was "living as IF"  It's actually an acting exercise from the Stanislavsky method.  I recommend doing this if it's a small "nagging" doubt, not overwhelming doubt.  I would do a short meditation and The prayer and set out on the day living as if I knew for sure that they are you they say they are.  I'm feeling the desire to practice that again now that I'm thinking of it.  On those days I felt much more connected to God and the "conversation" throughout the day deepened my faith in God, and ultimately, my belief and trust in Jesus and Mary.

I'm still very open to feeling the doubts that arise - they pop up occasionally- but I make the choice to acknowledge it, feel it and pray, experiment and move through to the next lesson.  Whenever I introduce their material to someone new I go through some doubts, so I've been open to sharing with more people lately, and welcoming of all the confrontation, subtle and not so, that comes along with that.

I was also able to resolve that I am grateful for what I have learned and experienced because of how they follow their passion, regardless of if I, in the future, have to feel about being wrong about the identity issue.... yet I have a lot of fear about what that might mean for my relationship with God, and how I might be able to feel all that through to truth and peace....

ANyway- I'd love to hear about others experiences with doubt and experiments

No my Parents were not Mormon, I was a convert to the Church, the missionaries tracked into my other brother Phillip and he introduced me to the Church- I felt and still feel a great love and appreciation for this religion- there are many many many very good people there.......

I would like to talk about shame and how to work through it-
Anyone out there have experience or insights into accessing and working through shame.
thanks Jenn

Hey Veronica, I saw a really moving bit in the following video ( sorry can't remeber when). The lady in the wheelchair feels a male spirit is prjecting at her. Jesus tell her he feels that she knows who it is; the lady crys.

It was the son she aborted who who sending her all his love to her. Made me cry! xx

Yes, Pierre, I am writing- and work shopping this piece over the summer.
