A snowstorm closed the road. For miles people were backed up as they waited to exit the freeway. We were forced to return home. Yet these things were completely out of our control. Whatever we consider has to be within our realm of possibilities.
Revelation is a strange thing.
One person has a high I. Q. That person may read, write and fluently speak many languages. Another person may not have had the opportunity to learn even one language. One person may be more interested in the stock market than learning about G-d. Another person may spend several hours each week attending study classes about G-d. The point is that some of us begin on a super freeway to revelation about G-d and others begin on a back country trail.
