Feeling Homesick for Heaven? You Are Not Alone

[@minniechoi2565]

Thank you all for sharing your stories!

[@amys3752]

Bless you three 🙏🏻

[@grace03_]

This is what I've been needing to hear others talk about, and I want to say Thank You, Lynn, Alyssa, and Vinney 🙏💛 You are so good to answer viewer questions on your channel.

[@Vincentorix]

I have had a similar experience to Allyssa’s experience when discovering Vinny’s story. This is the truth of why we are here and not what the regular dogma says. I have been searching for this truth for a while. Thanks you everyone.

[@JocelynJKahn]

I hear what you're saying about avoiding places where you're not sensing Love - discernment is important! I also like the Sufi remembrance practice of, whatever is happening, going into your heart and inquiring, "And can there be Love even here?"

[@mark91345]

Vinney says, at 23:03, "If we can learn to love 'what is', as a respect of what's missing, we bring forward much of what we're missing into our future as something that we're being fulfilled by". Yet, God forbid that he should give any further explanation. Lynn, at 23:33, responds that he has "gratitude for things i haven't experienced yet. I am enjoying this experience as if it is already here." This reminds me of what Neville Goddard talked about; specifically, that by acting "as if" we already have the thing we desire, feeling the emotions "as if" our goal were already accomplished, this is how we create what we want. I hope that THIS will be the kind of stuff that these discussions pursue in some detail.

Thank you all. You have made a difference with what I'm dealing with right now 🙏

[@livinggodslight]

We see you and love you!

[@mellaneumann1903]

Alyssa, you are my authenticity hero 🙏💪🙏 You are really an authencity role Model for me, wow! Thank you God for sending this strong and lovely soul, Alyssa, to earth and to my energy field 🤲🧡🤲

[@livinggodslight]

Thank you so much for those kind word @mellaneumann1903! I promise you, I am still a work in progress on being authentic, but my intention is continue being me without one ounce of shame-- no matter the company I am around. I am so grateful for your kind words and your love! Thank you for being here. -- Alyssa

We are veiled for good reason!

[@tmadsam]

I need to know if I should be excommunicated and go through everything again. I was diagnosed with DID and there are three of me. Sometimes I can see "myself" doing something but most times I have no memory. I have been accused of doing things that I have no memory of. I pled guilty and paid what I was asked to do, I repented. I honestly don't know who I am. I've lost decades of memories. I tried to be a good mother, good person, but how do I know? The Ward I belong to is cold and unwelcoming. There is no community, no ministry. I honestly don't know what to do! Help me!!!

[@theresadaisysun]

I love Lynn so much !!! 😊

[@livinggodslight]

Thank you so very much! ~Lynn

I understand the feeling of not belonging and wanting to go home. My pain is religious. It’s a deep pain/wrestle I go through every day. I grew up in a prominent church that taught me “this is the only true church and the only way to Heaven and I must stay on the covenant path”. I’ve been feeling so lost and torn for 3 years. How do I know if it really is the only true church? Deep down I feel like religion doesn’t really matter. But, what if it does? My religion says that if I, my spouse, or my children choose to “leave the boat” we will be lost. I just want to be with Jesus on the water. Not on any boat. Just with Him. Will I be damned if I choose that? Will I be apostate? Please help. I love you guys for showing so much good/love in this world. Thank you.

[@hubbsangel]

Do you think you could do a show on religion? Or answer questions about why we have religious trauma?

[@crissie70]

I'm so sorry for whatever religious trauma you have experienced. I belong to your faith tradition, and although for me, the gospel of Jesus Christ is my greatest blessing in life, and brings me so much joy in my Savior, I am also understanding of those who feel differently about the church. I have family who have left, and I don't consider them apostate. They are just on a different path than me in finding Jesus Christ. I still pray that they will eventually understand the beauty of living on the Covenant path with Jesus, but for now they are happy in their relationship with Jesus, outside of the church, and I'm happy for them. It's unfortunate that the church culture, and imperfect members get in the way of people's connection with Jesus sometimes. We're all just a bunch of imperfect people, just trying to do our best. In the process, we make a lot of mistakes. Focus on the good in the church. Ask God to help you see all of the good. What you focus on expands. Whether good or bad. Have you ever listened to the Come Back Podcast? Wow. It's incredible. Ashly interviews people who left the church and then came back. Their stories are amazing. Ashly's story (the host) is especially interesting and inspiring. Listen to her first episode first. Whether you stay or go, know that you are loved.

[@crissie70]

Also, I wanted to mention that we don't believe that our church is the only path to heaven, as you stated. We believe all will be saved into heaven/a kingdom of glory. Because of God's grace, heaven is a free gift to all. Whatever kingdom we choose to accept, we will be happy in heaven. The LDS view of heaven is the most generous and merciful view of heaven I have ever heard. Whereas my family members who now believe in mainstream Christian beliefs, believe that all of us, their family, are going to Hell because of our beliefs. That's not the kind of God that I know and believe in. He's much more merciful than that. I love our doctrine of heaven. ❤ I just wanted to clarify that. Blessings to you in your journey. Seek for light, truth and knowledge.

[@hubbsangel]

@@crissie70 thank you for your very sweet and sincere reply! What a big, kind heart you have. I’m grateful that you reached out to me and shared your sweet testimony. I would love to talk to you more about my experience. It’s not a typical one. It was an actual experience I had in the temple and then dreams. I believe Joseph Smith really did translate the BoM. It’s not the culture that is my pain… so, I don’t know exactly what to share publicly. Thank you again and God bless ✝️💕🕊️

[@livinggodslight]

I am grateful for the supportive words you have received from @crissie70. I (Alyssa) speak for myself in that I have my own religious pains that I have had to work through and I am still working through. It is a delicate topic, but I will for sure pass along the question to Vinney & Lynn as a possible topic to discuss on the show. We love you! Thank you for sharing your vulnerable thoughts with us here.

[@DebbieC-e1y]

I really appreciated Vinney's comment that people who are suffering with Alzheimer's will have a feeling of wanting to go home, even when they are home. I wonder how close that comes to the end of their life. My mom is fairly early (a year and a half or so?) in her dementia journey, and knowing what that means now will really help out when it begins happening. I guess the veil is thinner for them?

[@rosie21nify]

Alyssa what a sincere share and the burden of that addiction..

[@livinggodslight]

Thank you so much for your comment. It's felt big since sharing, but I am so grateful we have a supportive community. -- Alyssa

[@steph49391]

I have always loved water, but when I get in it it’s not as healing as I had hoped, when Vinny talked about the water in heaven i immediately connected with that and found out my spirit misses heaven water sooo bad, along with the telepathy and the complete understanding, no one can take you wrong.

[@pattyreid7674]

Meditation helps me feel less world weary 🙏

[@kath1431]

When will the new workbook be available again?

[@livinggodslight]

Soon. So very soon. If all goes according to the current plan, by the end of this week. So... probably next week? (Hopefully!) ;-/ We'll announce it to everyone on our email list as soon as it's available, and also on our website at livinggodslight.org/workbook/ ~Lynn

[@tellingthetruthforpeace]

Hey Vinney ..... In this statement "If we can learn to love 'what is', as a respect of what's missing, we bring forward much of what we're missing into our future as something that we're being fulfilled by" ......what do you mean by "as a respect of what's missing"? Can you say a bit more about that please?

[@YeshuasEkklesia]

I just wish you would pull in relationship with Jesus Christ in the midst of all this. By His shed blood and receiving Him we have eternal life. The creator is Source which is the Father of all and Jesus Christ His son. Read psalms Proverbs The essence of good is in His word. Gospel of John.

[@YeshuasEkklesia]

We can’t have life without Him.

[@YeshuasEkklesia]

We must learn to please God more than man.
