You should not look directly into the sun. Whenever you do, your eyes are unable to adjust to the intensity of the light. It is possible to even do damage to your eyes by looking directly at the sun.
Everything in mortality is a type or symbol of eternal things. All things bear testimony of Christ and His great plan. (Moses 6: 63.) The sun bears testimony of the Son of God. It is a great symbol of Him.
Our approach to gaining a relationship with the Son should be like that of our enjoyment of the sun – indirect. That is, entering into His presence is a by-product. It is as a result of the way you live. It is not the “goal.”
To approach Him, you must live as He did. You must “keep His commandments.” You must love others. You must live the way He lived. When you are walking in the same path He walked, you will find that He is walking there still. He will come alongside you, as you are “in the way” and will open to your understanding all things which He would have you know. (Luke 24: 13-32.) I’ve written about this in the talk in the Appendix to Eighteen Verses and will not repeat it here. But I would remind you that the account of those two disciples is a type of how He appears to those to whom He will minister. He will see you as you are in the right way, and then join with you.
Go about doing good. You will find Him as you do. Do not think you will be able to find Him without setting about to do the things which He bid you to do. There is a law irrevocably decreed which governs these things.
The Nephites were keeping the appointed times with the Lord in His year-end festivals. In that process, He came to them. Set about doing what He bids you to do and He will likewise come to you. (This is described in The Second Comforter: Conversing With the Lord Through the Veil.) Keep His ways. He will be able to walk with you as you walk with Him.
One clarification that I think needs to be understood by those who have not read what I have written. I have never revealed anything sacred that has been revealed to me. I have taught the path. It is not necessary nor desirable to reveal personal matters, and I have not. It is important to teach the right way. Read what I’ve written and you will find that nothing improper or even difficult is taught there. It is taken from the scriptures. The scriptures are sufficient to teach you the way to eternal life. I only teach what I find in them.
