The Spirit can be just like that when we allow Him to be.

Have you ever read accounts of adults who were blind from birth with cataracts after those were removed? You would think that upon receiving sight, their life would improve. But that was not the case. Instead, vision only confused them. The depth of field concept eluded them. Even though they could see, details we normally pick out easily still escaped them. The experience induced so much anxiety that many chose to simply close their eyes and return to the sightless world where they were comfortable. Again, the analogy to spiritual progress is striking. It's been my experience that most Saints are not comfortable with new ideas or insights into the Restored Gospel. Even when carefully explained to them, they cannot "see" what is right before them. This is called a scotoma, a blind spot. I fear we have far more of them than we imagine.Anthony E.
