I said that I did not know everything. I would be foolish to even think that way. But I do know some things. When I say that, I am talking about some important true things, some important and true things that relate to the hard questions that we ask ourselves about who we are and why we are here, and, of course, what is the purpose of it all, and where are we going. I know the answers to those question because I have gone to the 'source' and I have learned the 'process' that God uses to bless us with that knowledge that we so desperately seek. It hasn't always been so, and it was not easy. But as I look back on my schooling I can see my desires, my struggles and the answers that were given me by experience, inspiration and even revelation. The truths that I have been taught are certainly not mine alone, in fact, much of the teaching was done by others who had been taught the same things and then passed them on to me. But the confirmation was my own. It had to be, because it is something very intimate and personal. Those kinds of truths are not meant to be just learned and accepted from others, even those that we greatly respect and who would never think to mislead us. But the process is for us to hear, think, ponder and then seek for ourselves a personal confirmation from the spirit that those things are true. The process is clearly outlined in the scriptures. All of us are invited to seek that revelation for ourselves. I have done that on many ocassions and received that blessing. That doesn't make me extraordinary or any better then another. It just means that I have been blessed by my Father just as many others of my brothers and sisters have been blessed. It is not a competition nor any kind of a contest. It is each one striving to know and understand the answers to the question that this mortal experiece brings to us. One truth that comes with some of these wonderful answers is that we are then responsible to teach what we know. The 'process' requires that of us, and if we are not willing to do that then our own learning will suffer. We are expected to 'share the light' in order to enjoy and receive more of the 'light'. And the truths that are available for us to learn are unlimited!
