"Pondering" a question of what it is that happens if we are to "be more than we are". Can we find within ourselves something that makes us better? Is that something already their or is it a gift that magically transforms us into more,like the glass slipper that reveals all that really is with in or is it a spirit that settles upon us making us more that we were? C.S. Lewis said, in referring to "literature" that:
*
The good of literature is that
we want to be more than ourselves
We want to see with other eyes to imagine
with other imaginations,
to feel with other hearts,
as well as with our own.

In the book "Standing for Something" by Gordon B. Hinckley chapter 5 is about "Learning", suggesting "With all thy getting get Understanding". This might also imply that we become more than we are now by finding within the capacity learn and then learning more...............
*
"With all thy getting
get understanding"
Proverbs 4:7
