I miss this masterful teacher. Thanks for sharing this with us. I love it so much. It is the catalyst for many ah-hah thoughts and moments.

WOW. I felt the power of the Spirit reading this. There truly is so much more to us than we begin to comprehend. I don't know how long we dwelt with our Heavenly Father before coming to earth, but I do know we brought so much light and truth with us, recorded deeply in our spirits. We do know so much more than we think we know. One of the powerful ways I know truth is that the Holy Ghost bares witness to me of truth over and over again as I read the scriptures--especially the Book of Mormon. Another way I know truth is that when I pray, the Lord reveals to me in my heart that the things that I am saying are true. When we speak the truth, read the truth, hear the truth, something in our Spirits recognize it because we already know it. As the example in the article: We just didn't know that we KNOW already. When I read the Book of Mormon for the first time at the age of 16, I surely must have prayed to know it was true because that is what I had been taught to do. But, I don't remember specifically doing that, because the Spirit bore witness to my spirit that it was true before I even finished reading it. Our souls are primed to accept truth, because deep within, though sometimes perhaps temporarily dimmed, the Spirit already lives within us.
