I appreciated the point this chapter made regarding the lie Satan perpetuates: That those who have received their C&E would not talk about it - so if someone does talk about it, they have not really received it. It's a two-fold safety net for Satan to capture any possible discussion that might occur and in turn invite the spirit to testify that receiving your C&E is obtainable by ANYONE, not just those who we put upon righteous pedestals. When the mouths of those who CAN testify of their experiences are closed, and the ears of those who can learn from them are shut, it hides the fact that ALL blessings that God has available, are available to all of us!
I never knew until just the last few years that such a thing was actually attainable in this lifetime. I thought this blessing was reserved for people like Abraham and Nephi and Joseph Smith - not something I could actually come to qualify for!
