Cycle between the mind and heart Engage (awaken) the heart with stories, music, pictures,

colors, etc. When their hearts have been touched they are ready to receive knowledge for the mind. Encourage questions and thought, have them write about what they have learned and the spirit will drip that knowledge back into their hearts and they will receive

understanding.

Mind Physical - what insights did you receive from Thom's story about the physical mind? How does it develop? how do we learn? __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

WORK "it" out (D&C 9:8) What is the "it" in this scripture referring to? _______________________________________________________ “study it out in your mind” refers back to section 8 "it" is the Revelation. Study out the revelation the feelings, the promptings. The Lectures on Faith calls it "mental exertion". This takes work (the work required for faith)and quiet time. When is the last you took time to ponder the revelation you’ve received? What journey did you take to receive the answer? What actions were required?

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Conclusion 1. Know the three voices of revelation and how they speak to you (your

children) individually 2. Recognize the revelation 3. Ponder, work, study the revelation, take the actions. Pray for understanding 4. THEN study the subject

We grow into revelation until we are perfect. Keep practicing!
