The naïve belief of most is that we will find higher truth attractive and desirable the second we perceive it, and that we will notice it as soon as we are exposed to it. This is a destructive myth.
Higher truth is both hidden and repulsive. Were it not so, you would already possess it. In order to see what is above you as right, you have to learn what is above you, which you currently either do not see at all, or incorrectly see as wrong. If it were any other way, you would already be at that higher level of truth instead of your present lower one.
What pleases our carnal sensibilities is almost assuredly not what improves. After all, the natural man is an enemy to God. Paul said that to use what feels good as a proxy for what is good leads to degradation:
6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. (Romans 8)
In reality, “There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” (Proverbs 16:25) What we see as desirable simply mirrors what we desire, and our desires are not set on truth. “All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the Lord weigheth the spirits.” (Proverbs 16:2) Knowing this, the Lord invited us to overcome our poor judgment by changing our criteria. He said: “Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.” (John 7:24)
Instead, we must use the light within us to discern between good and evil: “And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things.” (Moroni 10:5)
Remember that whatever is of this world is fleeting. No matter how good it seems, we have to judge in a much broader context, an eternal context, to see that it is not what it seems, not as enduring as it seems, and not as pleasurable as it seems.
