Mormon Mantras: A Journey of Spiritual Transformation
Sattva brought to my attention a wonderful article that was written for Sunstone magazine titled “Mormon Mantras: A Journey of Spiritual Transformation” by Philip G. McLemore. She wanted me to share it with you all here as she felt that in this article he eloquently explained the differences between spirituality and Mormonism. I would have to agree with her. It was a wonderful read and very well written indeed.
It’s not a short article by any means (12 pages in magazine form) but well worth the read. Although I won’t post the entire article contents here due to it’s length, I will provide a link for you to download it directly from Sunstone. So please take the time, when you can, to give it a read and post your thoughts! Enjoy!

greenfrog directed me to the article several months ago. I agree that it’s terrific. In fact, I had just gotten it out the other day and reread it. I thought to myself while rereading it, “now there’s a member who gets ‘it’.” One of his mantras that I have been using to quiet my mind is “Peace be still”. Wonderful article, thanks for posting it.

It is refreshing to see a member of the L.D.S. church talking about the Mormon idea of perfection this way.

The second half of this article was published in the next edition. I posted a very favorable comment to Sunstone about it in their “Letters to the Editor” section. And it got published! If I can find it I’ll attach it here.
