Joseph Smith D&C 131:6 Whatever principle of intelligence we attain unto in this life, it will rise with us in the resurrection. And if a person gains more knowledge and intelligence in this life through his diligence and obedience than another, he will have so much the advantage in the world to come. D&C 130:18-19

  7. Option one continued LOGIC SEQUENCE D&C Section 93 Intelligence = in other words light and truth (verse 36) We must receive truth until we are “glorified in truth and knoweth all things” (verse 28) Truth: knowledge of things as they are, as they were, and as they are to come (verse 24) A commandment to bring up children in light and truth. (verse 40) “My voice is spirit; my Spirit is truth; truth abideth and hath no end; and if it be in you it shall abound.” (D&C 88:66) WHAT TO LEARN, WHY LEARN, and HOW TO LEARN D&C Section 88

  10. EXALT YOUR BRAIN The brain doesn’t come complete. Its development depends on you Learning improves the workings of your brain

  11. HOW LEARNING WORKS There are millions of synapses in the hippocampus. Different neurons communicate to each other in the synapses. A transmitter is a chemical on one cell that binds to a receptor on a different cell. Together, they carry messages down the line. Most cells have both transmitters and receptors. The synapses are where you record short-term memories. They are then filed away as long-term memory or forgotten. Memory is not simply a matter of activating the existing receptors. Instead, more receptors are inserted into the synapses. The greater the number that are inserted, the better the memory. Learning (including repetition and review) grows the brain and establish foundations for later learning.
