I was intrigued with this idea: thought it was excellent. I chose as my symbols of strength, etc. a figure from the Book of Mormon, Capt. Moroni. I studied in particular chapter 46 in the Book of Alma whereby Moroni raises a banner that he called, The Title of Liberty. The chapter related how he rallied his countryman to join him in battle against the faction of the population that would overthrow the government. I studied, took notes, likened his situation to my own, prayed first and then wrote a piece I hoped would be a guide for Dr. H... in creating a hypnosis cd for me. One thing that impressed me strongly during my study: the admonition to make a covenant with God. What am I promising in gratitude for any blessings received?
I know that several places in my composition of my Title of Liberty were inspired passages especially where it talks about those who would be healed and about my family (my siblings in particular!) and our lineage.
Inspiration: Captain Moroni in the Book of Mormon, Chap. 46
Moroni is a strong and mighty man; a man of a perfect understanding; yea, a man… whose soul joys in the liberty and freedom of his country, and his brethren from bondage and slavery. (Alma 48:11)
Yea, a man whose heart did swell with thanksgiving to his God for the many privileges and blessings which he bestowed upon his people; a man who did labor exceedingly for the welfare and safety of his people. (Alma 48:12)
Yea, and he was a man who was firm in the faith of Christ, and he had sworn with an oath to defend his people, his rights, and his country, and his religion… (Alma 48:13)
If all men had been, and were, and ever would be, like unto Moroni, behold, the very powers of hell would have been shaken forever; yea, the devil would never have power over the hearts of the children of men. (Alma 48:17)
