Blast From The Past: January 7, 2020

Tue Jan 7 20:06:13 MST 2020 There has got to be some reason for these thoughts. Whatever thoughts come into my mind, I mean they have to have a reason right? Worry, regret, things I can’t control. Everything else which simply can’t be understood or controlled…things like that. I don’t know what to do with these thoughts. People tell me to simply forget about them. Let them go. Who’s to know how that’s meant to work out. I don’t have a clue. I wish I did. That would be nice, but I don’t. I mean, if life is meant to be simple…a breeze, something we’re meant to accomplish well into our 90s etc, if we live that long. Then aren’t we suppose to be able to do something with it? Aren’t we meant to be able to accomplish something and just be there for each other? No matter what happens? Life comes and goes, it’s not meant to be out there out there, but here we are. We don’t know what happens all the time. We don’t know what goes on when we aren’t listening or aren’t watching. We simply don’t ...

Whispers

Oh the things that come out of my mouth

There are many things that come out of my mouth at times. They are not helpful things at all. But they are hurtful thoughts and phrases. "I want to die" and so forth.

I'm working on making it so they don't do this to me. It would be nice to be able to simply get over the thought process and whatever else is bogging my mind down. It would be nice to be able to calm my mind and not whisper these thoughts out loud. People can hear when I do so and I get strange looks.

I don't know why I say such things, why I whisper such things to myself. They are counter productive to life going forward. Sometimes I just whisper swear words under my breath. I tend to say the most vile swear words known to man. I shouldn't of course be doing this, it really isn't conducive to anything good. Yet I am but a man and do as I please as it were.

Other phrases that come out of my mouth are "I hate life" and "when will it all end?" I'm not sure about either of these. They seem to come out from nowhere. I can't seem to pinpoint any of it down. It would be nice to be able to understand what's going on with all of it, but well I can't. It gets to be so frustrating in my mind/head when I go through an experience like this. I don't know why this is happening this way. Or why things just tend to happen. It's like life takes control and I don't have any. I'm sure people will say "Oh you have control over what you say! You always have control." That may be true, but I don't have control over what the voices say or the thoughts say that I mutter out. That control belongs to someone else, and I don't know who controls that.

I didn't always whisper things. I remember when my mind was quiet and calm. Those were peaceful days. Nice days, good days. I wish I could have those days back. But I fear that it is going to be an impossible task. I don't know why that is, one would think I could just pick and choose what I want changed in my brain and bam I could do it. Unfortunate it doesn't work that way.

Didn't Sleep

 What's the point of sleep anymore if I can't sleep? I don't think I slept any good last night. I was awake at 3 am wondering to myself, what on earth am I doing awake? Yeah, that happened. It doesn't make any sense. Fortunately, it's the weekend. So, I can catch up on sleep tonight. I don't have to be anywhere tomorrow, so it's a good opportunity to actually sleep for once. Whatever the case, I hope I'll be able to fall asleep and stay asleep. We will see what happens.

Temptation Bible vs Book of Mormon

In the Bible in 1 Corinthians 10:13 we find: There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able ; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. But what might seem as a contradiction is found in Alma 13:28 But that ye would humble yourselves before the Lord, and call on his holy name, and watch and pray continually, that ye may not be tempted above that which ye can bear , and thus be led by the Holy Spirit, becoming humble, meek, submissive, patient, full of love and all long-suffering; So, which is it? Either God tempts you to a point and stops, or you have to actively pray not to be tempted beyond that no return point. Which is it?

An Opposition In All Things

Long has been the story told about how there must be an opposition in all things. From the pre-existence there was Satan, Lucifer the Son of the Morning. In the beginning we were with God in his presence. We learned all we could while there. Until the moment we couldn’t progress any more, we were unable to become like God. So, we were given the opportunity to come to Earth to gain a body. A Savior would be provided to atone for our sins enabling us to come back to the presence of God. The idea that an opposition must be in all things comes from 2nd Nephi: For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things. If not so, my firstborn in the wilderness, righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad. Wherefore, all things must needs be a compound in one; wherefore, if it should be one body it must needs remain as dead, having no life neither death, nor corruption nor incorruption, happiness nor misery, neither...
