The real value of learning is that it enables an individual in any situation to be resourceful—to figure out what to do when we have no idea. Life should elicit excitement, joy, and pleasure as we come into our journey and experience the World. The approach to living should be based firmly on our intrinsic nature to listen and observe from the foundation of our soul as we pressure inspiring and purposeful works of spirituality through the refinement of ideas which respond to specific factors we endeavour to reflect in the personality and lifestyle we desire. Personal identity, the unified self is thus assured by the nervous system, and the brain plays the role of both organ and organist. Self-awareness, however, depends entirely on the remembering function of the human brain. Memory furnishes the continuity in time, the imaginative combination of artistic integrity, and graceful elegance. The personal history that is created through this craft is fundamental to self-consciousness and personal identity. We are inclined to believe that all we have seen, known, perceived, or heard—even the trees of a great forest, all the concerts we have ever heard—exists within us unknown to us. They are stored by neural mechanisms as vibrating string and harmonic intervals, which possess the association of images and memory, the passage from sense perceptions to comparisons, reflection, judgment, and thought. #RandolphHarris 1 of 7

In sleep, control is relaxed and make dream-formation possible by reducing the endopsychic censorship. While many dreams are simply the results of the brain processing information, others send messages directly to the soul. A random recall in the central organ may then be referred to the subordinate organ, or the procedure may be reversed, from organ to brain. In dreams, random combinations may be formed and dragons created. Only personal past experience is available, however, for such imaginings. God uses dreams to communicate—and he may do so for anyone who is paying attention. The impressions can be so strong that the some realize these are important spiritual messages. “God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, you young men will see visions, your antiquate men will dream dreams,” reports Daniel 1.17. Jacob’s Ladder is the connection between the Earth and Heaven that the Biblical Patriarch Jacob dreams about during his flight from his brother Esau, as described in the Book of Genesis. This portal symbolizes prayer traveling across dimensions between God and people. When Jacob was dreaming about Angels going back and forth between Heaven and Earth, that beautiful image was a message of encouragement to Jacob, a man who was seriously discouraged. The spiritual dream was from some dense part of entanglement of the intellectual World. It arose from some dense part of fabric in the form of a dream-wish, like a mushroom from its mycelium. #RandolphHarris 2 of 7

We never know when God may reach out to us through a dream; it could happen anytime. If we believe it is possible, and if we are seeking God, we are in the best position to notice divine dream messages when they do grace our sleeping state. God or one of his Angels may send us an innovative idea or inspiration through a dream. Dreams have been responsible for some major creative and scientific discoveries in the course of human history. The father of quantum mechanics, Niels Bohr, often spoke of the inspirational dream that led to his discovery of the structure of the atom. One night when he was dreaming about atoms, Niels saw the nucleus of the atom, with electrons spinning around it, much as planets spin around their Sun. After reflection and allowing the involuntary ideas to come to the surface, Niels vision of the atomic structure, upon investigation, so perfectly covered an explained the directing ideas that it turned out to be one of the greatest breakthroughs of his day. He was later awarded a Noble Prize for Physics as a result of this leap in creative thinking while asleep. “Draw near to God and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, and purify your hearts,” reports James 4.8. If we teach and learn in the manner the Lord has prescribed, he will spend his Spirit to edify and enlighten us as we do so. #RandolphHarris 3 of 7

In life, we often meet people who have studied engineering, computer science information, health, medicine, religion, philosophy and metaphysics, World history and languages, science and arts. Some of these people are better educated than we are. In view of that, if we do not have the Spirit of the Lord how can we expect the direction of the Spirit to help us effectively socialize and communicate. We cannot always compete with the World on its terms. If we are to fulfill our calling, we must teach the Lord’s way. God is always communicating—and we may hear from him while we are awake, as well. During our dreams we surrender ourselves entirely to the involuntary phantasy, yet always other leading interests, dominant feelings and moods prevail at one time rather than another, and these will always exert an influence on the association of ideas. In semi-conscious dreams there always appear only such ideas as correspond to the (unconscious) momentary main interest. The unconscious mind is open to all information, so we are constantly open to learning something new. If we have the Spirit of the Lord to guide us, we can tech any person, no matter how well educated, any place in the World. The Lord knows more than any of us, and if we are his children, acting under his Spirit, he can deliver his message of salvation to each and every soul. #RandolphHarris 4 of 7

The Spirit of God speaking to the spirit of human beings has the power to impart truth with greater effect and understanding than the truth can be imparted by personal contact even with Heavenly beings. Through the Holy Ghost, the truth is woven into the very fiber and sinew of the of the body so it cannot be forgotten. The strong emotions are the chief source of the good, the true, and the beautiful. Life is not merely the biological fact that humans share with other beings on this Earth, but human life, experienced by us in all its distinctive complexity. It is the agglomeration of innumerable individual lives, which constitute the social and historical reality of the life of humankind. The hopes and fears, the thoughts and acts of individuals, the institutions which people have created, the laws by which they guide their conduct, the religions they believe in, all art, all literature, and all philosophy are part of that life. So is all science, because although it considers inanimate nature, it is still a human activity. All reflections on life, all valuations and moral principles, are the product of a pure knowing mind, and particular individuals who are living at particular times in a particular place, are all influenced by these circumstances and ideas around the, by the horizons of the age. All such reflections and valuations are, therefore, tinged with the Spirit of God. “Glory of God is intelligence,” reports Doctrine and Covenants 88.41. #RandolphHarris 5 of 7

We actually experience life in its whole wealthy and variety. We see things and people, listen to music and poetry, observe the workings of the law, experience religious awe, patriotic enthusiasm, or aesthetic satisfaction. All these, not merely the sensation of blobs of colour or twinges of pain, are part of the experience from which the true empiricists must start—although we may later analyze it into its components. Life is not a mass of disconnected facts; it is encountered everywhere as already organized, interpreted, and therefore meaningful. The philosopher starts from the meanings that human beings have given to their World. The philosopher is part of human life, a human being affected by the circumstances of one’s age like our fellows, and becomes an asset. The processes by means of which life becomes organized and meaningful are familiar to us from our own experiences. We are aware of the working of our mind, of how ideas give rise to feelings and feelings turn into intentions; we are familiar with the temporal quality of our lives, with the succession of moments in which the present is filled with experience and coloured by recollection of the past as well as with anticipation of the future. In common with our fellow people, the philosopher also uses principles for the organization of our experience. These are called the categories of life. #RandolphHarris 6 of 7

What we call experience is already intellectualized, that is, thought processes have gone into the organization of raw material. Intelligence has several meanings. It is the light of truth that gives life and light to all things in the Universe. It has always existed. The word intelligences also refers to the spirit children of God. “All intelligence is independent in that sphere in which God has placed in,” reports Doctrine and Covenants 93.29. We organize and interpret life consciously and deliberately. It is not that we see the rose, the frown, or the wall and then infer the rose is beautiful, the man angry, or the wall an obstruction. We see the beautiful rose, the angry man, or the obstacle. However, we do not stop there; impelled to make experience meaningful, and using the categories by which this can be accomplished. “If a person gains more knowledge and intelligence in this life through one’s diligence and obedience, one will have so much the advantage in the World to come,” reports Doctrine and Covenants 130.19. There is in humankind a persistent tendency to achieve a comprehensive interpretation, or a philosophy, in which a picture of reality is combined with a sense of meaning and value and with principles of action. Knowledge, both temporal and spiritual, comes in steps. This awareness, combined with the consciousness of the relativity of all interpretations and valuations, liberates the spirit for open-minded acceptance of reality and creative endeavour. #RandolphHarris 7 of 7
