Man is a mystery to himself...

“Man is a mystery to himself, and but few of the inhabitants of the earth inquire into their own organization . . . A man cannot find out himself without the light of revelation; he has to turn round and seek to the Lord his God, in order to find out himself” (Brigham Young, JD 7:1, 4:271).

I hope that each of us, especially those who claim to be "spiritual" or "religious" spend time each day, if not in every moment, inquiring as to our "own organization." What am I? Who am I? This question is not to be asked once and then forgotten but should pervade our waking consciousness. In time, one will find that while his physical body sleeps, he begins to awaken in the dream state as well.
