Self-Imposed Governors

Opening the Mind to a Deeper Doctrine

The self-imposed governors we as humans place upon ourselves fascinates me. In this self-imposed state, we have become conditioned to avoid questioning the accepted. As such, many deep doctrines are never explored, discussed, or understood. (Deep doctrine is not the same as fringe doctrine.)

Our priesthood lesson this morning began with a discussion on agency. Unless freedom of choice is in the definition, it seems members are blind to anything else. So what is the definition, application, and role of agency?

The history of the word agency still lingers in our vocabulary as evidenced when members of our faith use the term free agency. To describe agency as free seems to denote either a lack of understanding or a lack of attention to detail.
