2. Common misconception- "It's not what you know, it's who you know."
Refutation- "What good is the power without real intelligence and solid knowledge?"
3. "'The mind or intelligence which man possesses is co-equal with God himself. All the minds and spirits that God ever sent into the world are susceptible of enlargement. God himself, finding he was in the midst of the spirits and glory, because he was more intelligent, saw proper to institute laws whereby the rest could have a privilege to advance like himself. The relationship we have with God places us in a situation to advance in knowledge.'Expansion is the theme, and we cannot expand the boundaries unless we first reach those boundaries, which means exerting ourselves to the absolute limit" (Hugh Nibley).
4. "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts" (Isaiah 55:8-9).
It is the way He thinks that is higher than us, not what He thinks, though that is higher also.
5. Sometimes I wish people would read this. I need an audience to which I can epiphanize.
I read it Rachel. And I think you're absolutely brilliant. -Chelsea
