A Celestial Being having a Mortal Experience

There are few people in the history of the human experience that keep my attention. One of these few is Hugh Nibley. Hugh Nibley was a professor at Brigham Young University, an apologist for the LDS church and known expert of ancient and modern languages. Beyond his talents was a man who was known for his peculiar demeanor and disposition. He never seemed to quite fit in with the world around him, and yet he was fine with it. The race of life that you and I seem to be deeply entrenched seemed to be nothing more than "utter silliness" to him (as he would say). Instead, he would merely observe the meager pursuits of men and draw one major conclusion. That is, that man should only be concerned with two things, learning how to forgive and learning how to repent. Quite an interesting notion considering he was a man whose occupation was in the world of academia.

Anyway, I have included a link to a brief documentary about him from the Maxwell Institute.
