"But why this crippling limitation on our thought [thinking of only one thing at a time] if we are God's children? It is precisely this limitation which is the essence of our mortal existence. If every choice I make expresses a preference, if the world I build up is the world I really love and want, then with every choice I am judging myself, proclaiming all the day long to God, angels, and my fellowmen where my real values lie, where my treasure is, the things to which I give supreme importance. Hence, in this life every moment provides a perfect and foolproof test of your real character, making this life a time of testing and probation."
Hugh Nibley, Of All Things, p. 112
