Mormonism and the New Spirituality: LDS Women's Hybrid Spiritualities by Doe Daughtrey a Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulf Mormonism and the New Spirituality: LDS Women's Hybrid Spiritualities by Doe Daughtrey A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved April 2012 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Linell Cady, Chair Colleen McDannell Tisa Wenger Tracy Fessenden ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2012 ABSTRACT This dissertation illuminates overlaps in Mormonism and the New Spirituality in North America, showing their shared history and epistemologies. As example of these connections, it introduces ethnographic data from women who are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in order to show (a) how living LDS women adapt and integrate elements from the New Spirituality with Mormon ideas about the nature of reality into hybrid spiritualities; and (b) how they negotiate their blended religious identities both in relation to the current American New Spirituality milieu and the highly centralized, hierarchical, and patriarchal Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The study focuses on religious hybridity with an emphasis on gender and the negotiation of power deriving from patriarchal religious authority, highlighting the dance between institutional power structures and individual authority. It illuminates processes and discourses of religious adaptation and synthesis through which these LDS women creatively and provocatively challenge LDS Church formal power structures. i DEDICATION This project is dedicated to my family: my husband, David, who ongoingly chooses and supports me not just in spite of but in celebration of our differences; my children Tatiana, Astrid, Dominic, Natasha, and Mikhail, who are my heroes and my champions; my grandchildren, Cozette, Tristan, Donovan, Nathaniel, and Vivienne, who are so creative and open to new possibilities; my father Ray, to whom I owe my intellectual curiosity and pursuit of excellence in teaching, but who died before I could complete the project; and my mother Callie, who I now have the privilege of caring for. This project is a tribute to your patience, love, and uncritical, enthusiastic support. I feel deeply privileged to share this life with you all, and I still believe in forever. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I wish to acknowledge those whose intellectual and emotional support has been so valuable to me during the years I have been at Arizona State University: P. F. Lengel, who just over ten years ago steered me away from Anthropology to the Department of Religious Studies; Alison Coudert and Mark Woodward, who told me fabulous stories and mentored me early in knowing which questions to ask; Joel Gereboff, who as department chair has ongoingly supported my academic interests beyond the norm; Linell Cady, Tracy Fessenden, and Tisa Wenger, with whom I have enjoyed a long and rich academic partnership; and Colleen McDannell for being willing to join us on the journey. Their collective and individual commitment and contribution to religious studies deepen my inquiry and inspires me to excellence. I still consider my theoretical mentor to be Wendy Doniger, whose ability to write academic poetry enthralls and stirs me. I am also profoundly grateful to have known Ken Morrison, whose ability to mentor with great passion will not be forgotten. I am also deeply indebted to academic and personal friends who have supported me in this and other projects: academic and spiritual companions Brook Michalik, M.F.A., Rebecca Bailey, Lisa Hansen, Asia Dutson, Lizbeth Rizzo, Genevieve Zork, Jean Leavitt, Suzann Werner, Karen Amason, and Kathy Lyon; Elizabeth McNeil, Ph.D., and Susan Taffer, Ph.D., excellent editors, committed activists, and devoted friends; and Laura Bush, Ph.D., and Anne Seiler, M.A., who ongoingly remind me who I am and affirm what I stand for in the world. I could not have completed this project without the national support of Mormon feminists of all ages, especially Maxine Hanks, Janice Allred, Margaret Toscano, and Holly Welker, whose sacrifices and contributions to my life and the debate over Mormon identity iii and doctrine demand acknowledgement. I also recognize and express gratitude for the local support of a large and extended group of feminist Mormon women of all ages, whose contribution to me as a scholar and as a human being cannot be understated. In addition, I thank Mary Ellen Robertson, M.A., and Dan Wotherspoon, Ph.D., with the Sunstone Education Foundation, who over the last decade gave me a symposia platform for exploring the ideas that appear here. Finally, I acknowledge the participants in this study for their bravery and certainty, and for sharing their stories with me. I am especially humbled by Dryad’s assertion that this dissertation constitutes a magical act. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER Page 1 INTRODUCTION ............................................................................................. 1 Project Overview ............................................................................................. 1 Contextualizing Mormonism and the New Spirituality ............................ 4 The New Spirituality ........................................................................................ 6 Approach ........................................................................................................ 11 Significance ...................................................................................................... 26 Self-Situating ................................................................................................... 30 Chapter Outline .............................................................................................. 37 Summary .......................................................................................................... 41 2 MORMONISM AND THE NEW SPIRITUALITY: COMMON HISTORICAL AND EPISTEMOLOGICAL ROOTS .................... 43 Precursors: Nineteenth-century Mormonism and Spiritualism ............ 48 The Plan of Salvation .................................................................................... 60 Science and the Plan of Salvation ............................................................... 63 Truth, Light, and Knowledge ...................................................................... 69 Summary .......................................................................................................... 80 3 EMBRACING THE LIGHT: SEARCHING FOR FURTHER LIGHT AND KNOWLEDGE IN MORMONISM AND THE NEW SPIRITUALITY ......................................................................................... 82 Divination and Mormonism ........................................................................ 84 Patriarchal Blessings ........................................................................ 85 v CHAPTER Page The Liahona ...................................................................................... 87 Channeling in the New Spirituality ............................................................. 91 A Course in Miracles ....................................................................... 95 Channeling in Popular Culture Products .................................... 97 LDS Women Embrace Channeling.......................................................... 100 Denise .............................................................................................. 109 Natalie .............................................................................................. 117 Sherry ............................................................................................... 128 Sandra .............................................................................................. 137 Reconciling Reincarnation .......................................................................... 148 Mormonism and the Study of Near-Death Experiences ....... 151 Linda: Mormons and Past Life Regression ............................... 159 Analysis .......................................................................................................... 165 4 "MOLLY MORMONS CAN BE REIKI MASTERS TOO?": HEALING AND WHOLENESS IN MORMONISM AND THE NEW SPIRITUALITY ........................................................................... 174 Health and Healing in Mormonism and the New Spirituality ............. 177 Healing in the New Spirituality ................................................... 179 Healing in Mormonism ................................................................ 180 The Word of Wisdom................................................................... 186 Healing the Earth ........................................................................... 188 Wholeness as the Mormon Analogy for Wellness in the New Spirituality ........................................................................................ 191 vi CHAPTER Page The Atonement as the Mormon Doctrine of Healing ........... 192 The Law of Attraction .................................................................. 196 Mormon Women as Healers ....................................................... 199 Energy Healing and Spirituality ................................................................. 201 Mormons and Energy Healing .................................................... 203 Carolyn Cooper, LDS Energy Healer ........................................ 206 Carol Tuttle, LDS Energy Healer ............................................... 216 LDS Women as Energy Workers ............................................................. 224 Martha .............................................................................................

  • A Fresh Perspective on the History of Hasidic Judaism
    eSharp Issue 20: New Horizons A Fresh Perspective on the History of Hasidic Judaism Eva van Loenen (University of Southampton) Introduction In this article, I shall examine the history of Hasidic Judaism, a mystical,1 ultra-orthodox2 branch of Judaism, which values joyfully worshipping God’s presence in nature as highly as the strict observance of the laws of Torah3 and Talmud.4 In spite of being understudied, the history of Hasidic Judaism has divided historians until today. Indeed, Hasidic Jewish history is not one monolithic, clear-cut, straightforward chronicle. Rather, each scholar has created his own narrative and each one is as different as its author. While a brief introduction such as this cannot enter into all the myriad divergences and similarities between these stories, what I will attempt to do here is to incorporate and compare an array of different views in order to summarise the history of Hasidism and provide a more objective analysis, which has not yet been undertaken. Furthermore, my historical introduction in Hasidic Judaism will exemplify how mystical branches of mainstream religions might develop and shed light on an under-researched division of Judaism. The main focus of 1 Mystical movements strive for a personal experience of God or of his presence and values intuitive, spiritual insight or revelationary knowledge. The knowledge gained is generally ‘esoteric’ (‘within’ or hidden), leading to the term ‘esotericism’ as opposed to exoteric, based on the external reality which can be attested by anyone. 2 Ultra-orthodox Jews adhere most strictly to Jewish law as the holy word of God, delivered perfectly and completely to Moses on Mount Sinai.

  • Joseph Smith and the Plurality of Worlds Idea
    oseph Smith and the . Plurality of Worlds Idea Robert Paul JOSEPH SMITH WAS NOT THE FIRST PERSON to use the plurality of worlds concept. In the early seventeenth century, natural philosophers began speculating on the idea of multiple world systems. By the eighteenth century, Protestant evangelicals absorbed the idea into their Natural Theology. For them nature contained clear and compelling evidence of God's existence, sub- stantiating their own Christian beliefs and countering religious skepticism (Westfall 1958; Hovenkamp 1978). Joseph used the concept quite differently, though never defensively. Theologically he related man, God, and the uni- verse ; religiously, his message was millenarian and directed toward eschatologi- cal issues. On careful examination, these complex issues suggest that the en- vironmental thesis — the view that one's cultural matrix is entirely sufficient to account for the emergence of a coherent set of ideas or conventions — does not provide a wholly adequate explanation of the style and structure of restora- tionist pluralism. In addition to examining the astronomical pluralism in Joseph's writings, this essay will assess the merits of the environmental thesis without suggesting that Joseph Smith as a religious leader must always be seen either as a prophet or as a charlatan, a dichotomy which has prevented useful and productive understanding of an enigmatic character. For purposes of this study, it is per- fectly consistent with Joseph's own experiences and writings to see him as an emerging prophet, as one who was as much a part of the process of religious ROBERT PAUL is an associate professor of the history of science and of computer science at Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pa.

  • Fear in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and a Pathway to Reconciliation
    Fear in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and a Pathway to Reconciliation Meandering Philosophy and Musings Mingled with Scripture Revision B By Tom Irvine Email: [email protected] July 4, 2020 To fear God is to have absolute reverence and awe for an Almighty God, the Creator of all things. But the fear discussed in this paper is worry and dread over potential loss or calamity. This fear can include angst regarding a pending change, even though that change may be a needed growth opportunity, or otherwise bring blessings. The fear may be deeply rooted in a person’s subconscious due to genetic predispositions or past traumatic experiences. Furthermore, fear can exist on an individual or an institutional basis. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has accomplished an immeasurable amount of good for innumerable souls by providing a faith community for like-minded people, offering disaster relief to those in distress and in so many other ways. In addition, the LDS Church provides excellent education opportunities through its BYU campuses and the BYU Pathway program. 1 But the Church has traumatized others via certain fear-based policies and unrighteous dominion. Some trauma victims leave the Church and may never return. Others are the “walking wounded” who still participate in Church for social or altruistic reasons even though their bubbles have burst, or their “shelves” have broken. This paper is neither a vindication of the Church nor an expose. Rather it is a paper that wrestles with some real and messy issues with the hopes that some mutual understanding and peaceful reconciliation can be achieved.

  • Mormon Literature: Progress and Prospects by Eugene England
    Mormon Literature: Progress and Prospects By Eugene England This essay is the culmination of several attempts England made throughout his life to assess the state of Mormon literature and letters. The version below, a slightly revised and updated version of the one that appeared in David J. Whittaker, ed., Mormon Americana: A Guide to Sources and Collections in the United States (Provo, Utah: BYU Studies, 1995), 455–505, is the one that appeared in the tribute issue Irreantum published following England’s death. Originally published in: Irreantum 3, no. 3 (Autumn 2001): 67–93. This, the single most comprehensive essay on the history and theory of Mormon literature, first appeared in 1982 and has been republished and expanded several times in keeping up with developments in Mormon letters and Eugene England’s own thinking. Anyone seriously interested in LDS literature could not do better than to use this visionary and bibliographic essay as their curriculum. 1 ExpEctations MorMonisM hAs bEEn called a “new religious tradition,” in some respects as different from traditional Christianity as the religion of Jesus was from traditional Judaism. 2 its beginnings in appearances by God, Jesus Christ, and ancient prophets to Joseph smith and in the recovery of lost scriptures and the revelation of new ones; its dramatic history of persecution, a literal exodus to a promised land, and the build - ing of an impressive “empire” in the Great basin desert—all this has combined to make Mormons in some ways an ethnic people as well as a religious community. Mormon faith is grounded in literal theophanies, concrete historical experience, and tangible artifacts (including the book of Mormon, the irrigated fields of the Wasatch Front, and the great stone pioneer temples of Utah) in certain ways that make Mormons more like ancient Jews and early Christians and Muslims than, say, baptists or Lutherans.

    T HE J EWISH Q UARTERLY R EVIEW, Vol. 95, No. 1 (Winter 2005) 183–196 Some Forlorn Writings of a Forgotten Ashkenazi Prophet NOTE R. Nehemiah ben Shlomo ha-Navi’ MOSHE IDEL O WING TO RECENT STUDIES on Haside Ashkenaz, especially by Jo- seph Dan, and the publication of some of the Ashkenazi material from manuscripts, we have a better picture of the literature produced from the early decades of the thirteenth century.1 Of paramount importance to this literature is the distinction Dan drew between different schools emerging out of the Ashkenazi masters. He proposed to distinguish between the main line represented by the writings of the Kalonymite school of R. Yehudah he-Hasid and R. Eleazar of Worms, on the one hand, and the school, which he described as the ‘‘school of the special cherub,’’ on the other.2 In addition, he drew attention to, and eventually printed and ana- lyzed, material that did not belong to either of the two schools and is found in anonymous manuscripts.3 More recently, in an innovative article dealing with the occurrence of the syntagm ‘‘Yeshu‘a Sar ha-panim,’’ Yehudah Liebes has noted dispa- rate anonymous writings found mostly in manuscripts, which belong to an Ashkenazi school, that he called the ‘‘circle of Sefer ha-h. eshek.’’4 He 1.
