I think the truth is supposed to expand upon a persons mind as they are capable of understanding it. It is supposed to unfold, the painting more complete, the puzzle pieces more connected, the circle almost circumscribed into one whole... until we can look at it with more clear understanding. As a persons understanding of doctrines or truths evolves and improves over time, deeper levels of understanding will too. Everyone is on a different level of light or on a different rung of the ladder to heaven... but we should all help each other obtain more regardless of who is where.
I can only describe it as being the most frustrating thing to not understand some things at first, then over time research and revelation comes along and things begin to make more sense. Soon enough, you look back and go... wow, sure feels good to understand now... and my previous frustration seems pretty immature or silly today:) Not that I am some knowledgeable guru... always more to learn and understand!
If we stick with mans truth, or trust other men's understanding of things... we could be limiting ourselves. What if that person's level of understanding/light was less than anothers? What if his is more or less than ours?
Best to become like a little child, fully open, fully willing to consider something new and examine it from every angle... setting aside our own beliefs or traditions of our fathers as needed. Then ask God to reveal it, and expect the answers to come and wait for them to come. In hindsight, we begin to notice it already came. Later we can converse with the Lord thru the veil and hear more from Him about it. One day, we can converse with Him as a man talks with another!
