I particularly enjoyed your comments, Nicolla: Just ate it up. You have presented some thought provoking concepts. A lot of the spirit in your studies. I enjoy D&C 93 myself _ so much in it on this subject. I was a bit confused, however, where you spoke as if light mixed with truth created an intelligence. Did I misunderstand you here? You would be aware that intelligneces can't be created or made (as you quoted yourself). So I was just a bit lost on that one.
I remember seeing a person who was suicidal. They had a darkness within and it showed all around them. On the other hand I have seen a highly spiritual person radiating white light when feeling particularly enthusiastic. Truth creates a light within us.
It is interesting to realise that D&C 93 is stating that we actually exist more (have more life) by obedience, and exist less by disobedience. Satan takes away light and truth (intelligence - us) through disobedience. Thus by obedience to good principles we become more intelligent.

It's quite long, but this is the talk I think you want. It's by Cleon Skousen and it is called Gospel Trilogy... https://www.mormontheology.com/FormObj/SkousenTrilogy.aspx Very interesting! Dubhdara. |
