Quote
We once dwelt in the scintillating presence of the Eternal Father. So rich, so exquisite was our condition there though it was not without conflict), that we can hardly endure remembering. Wilford Woodruff heard the Prophet Joseph Smith remark that were it not for the strong biological urge in us to survive, to hold on to the slipping rope even when we are in pain and suffering, and, in addition, were it not for the veil of forgetfulness we could not stand this world. Our mortal amnesia is the Lord’s anesthesia. We must stay in this condition to work out our possibilities, undergo the stress and distress that lead to perfection.Share
