Discussion of Moroni promise from BOM

[sleepyhead]

Hello Mormonboy,

What follows is a comparison of the Moroni promise of the BOM, and also a similar article outlining several readings given by Edgar Cayce dealing with obtaining information from within.

"Moroni 10:3": 3 Behold, I would exhort you that when ye shall read these things, if it be wisdom in God that ye should read them, that ye would remember how merciful the Lord hath been unto the
children of men, from the creation of Adam even down unto the time that ye shall receive these things, and ponder it in your hearts.
"Moroni 10:4": 4 And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere
heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.
"Moroni 10:5": 5 And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things.
"Moroni 10:6": 6 And whatsoever thing is good is just and true; wherefore, nothing that is good denieth the Christ, but acknowledgeth that he is.

Obtaining Guidance for Oneself

On more than a dozen occasions the readings also prescribed a means of acting upon the premise that “psychic is of the soul� for obtaining intuitive guidance for one’s self. In part, the process seems very straightforward but it is also a way for the individual to develop a closer relationship with self while gaining practical experience in attunement.

Essentially, the approach can be used for any question in which the answer can be framed in terms of a “yes� or a “no.� Cayce advised thinking about the situation and then using one’s logic and mental abilities to simply decide “yes� or “no.� After making a preliminary decision, the question was to be set aside. Sometimes, Cayce told the
individual to put his or her mind on something else for a while; on other occasions, Cayce recommended moving right ahead to the second step. After making a conscious choice as to the best decision, the next step was for the individual to spend some quiet time in meditation and prayer— a personal time of attunement when the whole issue was to be set aside. After meditating, your attuned self was to then repeat the question and ask “yes or no.� Edgar Cayce stated that this was a great way to work with intuition within one’s self, and whenever you came to the same conclusion as your conscious decision then you could rest assured that the choice was correct. If the decisions were different, then the individual needed to revisit the entire issue and give it additional thought, meditation and prayer.

The reason I feel the EC promise is better is because the question has to be pertinent to the individual. It involves seeking guidance on a life issue.
