[Doing] assists the education of the conscience and reinforces its knowledge in ways that no amount of church attending or studying can. Doing actually changes the fiber of a person’s nature – his soul, his conscience, his character. Doing changes his view of himself. A person’s behavior is largely a product of such self-made fuel.

Interestingly, a person can allow himself to be vulnerable on the surface of his life if he still retains a deep God/Christ-centered invulnerability. Then he can afford to be gentle and soft, to give and take, to give love without demanding anything in return – and that of course leaves him open to rebuffs and disappointments on occasion. But when a person is deeply vulnerable, centered on something other than God and therefore not securely rooted, he can’t afford to be vulnerable on the surface, or he risks being simply wiped out.

I am convinced that in the long run no one can hurt another without the other’s consent; that is, hurt him in a deeply significant, personal, internal sense. This is because we always have the power to choose a response to what someone else does to us. This may be the reason why failure to forgive someone else is a greater sin than that which he has done to us. That is, it causes more damage to the unforgiving one – a damage in the mind and heart – than that caused by what the other person may do to him externally.

In modern revelation, the Lord defines truth as “knowledge of things as they are, and as they were, and as they are to come.” (D&C 93:24) Notice very carefully the words used to describe truth. Truth is a knowledge of things. In other words, it is an internal mental understanding or grasping of the way things really are; it is the subjective accurately reflecting the objective, the personal correctly reflecting the real, the map truly reflecting the territory.

Freedom is born of obedience; the freedom to play the piano comes entirely from obedience to the laws of piano playing, from disciplined practicing, from sacrificing alternative activities to cultivate this talent. This is true in developing any talent, any skill, and virtually everyone accepts it as a fact. Why, then, is there resistance to the concept of obeying God, to keeping the commandments in the moral and spiritual realms?
