Yep, I’ve downloaded the app and have been listening to the Book of Mormon in my car driving to and from therapy sessions, and when I grab lunch at home I watch the videos. Most striking so far was the woman who joined the circus and went through some dark times and while driving saw a Temple on one side of the road and a Prison in the other. Getting goosebumps just typing about it!

I LOVE your experience! I am so glad that you are pursuing this feeling. I have found in my life that feelings like that never lead me astray. The Church has published several resources on a free app that may help in your efforts. It’s called Gospel Library (It’s a black background with a white trumpet playing Moroni on it). The app and has all the scriptures, church magazines, videos, general conference talks, and even the Come Follow Me weekly lessons. Those lessons are what we would be discussing in church if we were having it. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I’m so excited for you on your journey.

I found this article because of an experience I had several months ago where I began to question my more or less agnostic belief systems …the questioning came after reading a book by one considered to be one of the founding fathers of ABA, BF Skinner. The book is called “Walden Two”. I happened to be in Salt Lake City at the time and visited Temple square (had only just started reading the book) just because it seemed like a pretty place to explore and found myself overcome with an indescribable feeling of peace and belonging. I kept reading Walden, but also began reading about the LDS church beliefs and began to see some parallels… Being no stranger to the science/religion debate I looked and found this while searching if any other Behavior Analysts might have had similar experiences. I somehow feel as though the life experiences that led me to a career in ABA have also led me down this path. I was just getting to the point where I was going to attend a service near me when they put a pause on in person services. Being on near lockdown has only given me more opportunity to investigate more, and for that I am thankful as the more I find, the stronger this feeling grows.
Thank you

I’m so glad it helped! Honestly as I get to know more about ABA it seems more like the code of heaven, when done right. And I am so glad I took the training. Good luck in your future!

I am in training to become an RBT right now and I felt a little uneasy about some things and how they related to the restored gospel, but your perspective was nice. 🙂

Thanks for sharing
