Spiritual Enlightenment

In Orson F. Whitney's talk "Home Literature" he talks about learning and becoming an example to others.  While talking about learning he says this, "The spiritual enlightenment of a world, the salvation of the human race, the education, for this life and the life which is to come, of all who can be persuaded to enter the garden of God and partake, freely, of the precious fruits of the Tree of Knowledge, which, in the truest sense, is also the Tree of Life."  Orson F. Whitney inspired many people to be that example and help others come and partake of this gift that God has given us.

In Nephi Anderson's book Added Upon, the whole story line is exactly Orson F. Whitney's quote.  It's about everyone's own spiritual enlightenment journey through life.  In Added Upon, it's the story about the lives of a couple people through the plan of salvation.  Reading about their lives makes me think of our lives.  The different journeys everyone go through to become the person Heavenly Father knows we can become.  We each have a unique journey so we can "enter the garden of God and partake, freely, of the precious fruits of the Tree of Knowledge, which, in the truest sense, is also the Tree of Life."
