“The plainest case in many words entangling.”
“The plainest case is that of Ludovic Muggleton, best known for eventually founding the eccentric ‘Muggletonian’ sect. In the religious turbulence of 1640s London, he moved fretfully from church to church, increasingly convinced that ‘I must needs go to Hell’. And so, as the only escape, he longed ‘to have said in my Heart, sure there is no God’. He could not quite persuade himself it was true, but he did the next best thing. Since he was convinced he was damned, he withdrew from any kind of religious practice, and tried simply to live virtuously on his own terms. It would not save his soul, but it would spare him the misery of continuously contemplating his future torment. ‘I found more Peace here than in all my Religion.’ In particular, a hope crept up on him: even if there is a God, perhaps there is no immortal soul? ‘I was in good Hope at that time, that there was nothing after Death.’ He developed arguments to persuade himself of this, and for three years ‘had a great deal of peace of mind in this condition’. ‘I dreaded the Thoughts of Eternity … I thought, if I could but lie still in the earth for ever, it would be as well with me, as it would be if I were in eternal happiness … I cared not for Heaven so I might not go to Hell.”

“The plan, a memory of the future, tries on reality to see if it fits.”
“The plan, after all, doesn’t always go according to the plan. If it looks like I haven’t failed, it’s because I choose not to see anything that happens to me as failure. To me, failure doesn’t exist.
I imagine that failure is something we tell ourselves exists so we can quit. It’s an excuse to give up, to say ‘Oh, this did not work. I’m done.’ It creates a limit on what we think we can achieve. Just for a minute, think about what it would be like if we lived in a world where we had no option but to keep trying. If you know you could never fail, you would never stop trying. You wouldn’t have an out. There would be no end line to fantasize about. What if everything we think we’re not capable of is an illusion? Then the plan would always be to keep going. There would be so much more space for opportunity. What possibilities would that space invite in?”

“The plan of salvation could not be brought about without an atonement... The atoning sacrifice had to be carried out by the sinless Son of God, for fallen man could not atone for his own sins. The Atonement had to be infinite and eternal to cover all men throughout all eternity. Through His suffering and death, the Savior atoned for the sins of all men. His Atonement began in Gethsemane and continued on the cross and culminated with the Resurrection.”
“The plan of spiritual evolution is marked not only by God's will that we move ever in the direction of love, nut also by another of God's creative principles: that humanity has free will. What that means is that in any given moment, it is our choice whether we move toward love or retreat from it. What is not love is fear. But in the larger scheme of things, there is a limit past which lovelessness cannot remain. Fear is not life-giving enough to sustain itself. We can move in the direction of fear only so long before it brings us to our knees, or to our end.”
