The Competence of Learning the Openness to GROW (Teachability)

Welcome to the 7th Dimension. Conquering Ignorance and Stiffneckedness.

The Open-minded Curiosity That Expands

Learning happens not as a single event but as a sequence of events that developes our understanding. Teachability is the mind’s RECEPTIVE ground of endless progression. This is the sacred space where pride cannot live and where the sweet, rain-like grace of correction is received not as a wound, but as a life-giving gift. We call this dynamic Teachability, but you will come to know it as your Learning Competence: the humble, joyful, and sovereign capacity to remain ever-correctable, always curious, and endlessly alive to new light and truth.

This is the glorious and beautiful “so what?” that follows every other competence. Having learned to Act, to Belong, to Engage, to Love, to Govern, and to See, this final, sacred law ensures that we never stop becoming. This is not the world’s vision of learning—an accumulation of facts to prove our worth. This is God’s vision of learning—a perpetual state of humble, childlike wonder that qualifies us to receive “all that the Father hath.” In this chamber of the “empty cup,” intelligence is not a performance; it is a posture.

The pattern is woven throughout all of holy writ. It is Nephi, humbly declaring, “I know that he loveth his children; nevertheless, I do not know the meaning of all things.” It is Christ Himself, who “received not of the fulness at the first, but continued from grace to grace.” Learning Competence is the holy courage to say, “Show me,” and mean it.

Practicing the Grace of Endless Growth

This divine competence grows not in the soil of certainty, but in the fertile ground of holy curiosity. It is the courageous act of choosing to be a student, always. Mosiah 4:27 states: “See that all these things are done in wisdom and order; for it is not requisite that a man should run faster than he has strength. And again, it is expedient that he should be diligent, that thereby he might win the prize”.

First, Embrace the Posture of Childlike Wonder: The daily choice to approach God, your life, and your relationships not as an expert, but as a beloved child with a universe of beautiful things yet to learn. The shoulders soften because you no longer carry the burden of being right; you carry the joy of getting truer.

Then, Practice the Art of Receiving Correction Without Shame: The holy skill of hearing a hard truth and saying “Thank you for showing me this,” rather than defending the blindness from which you have just been delivered. Repentance feels like relief.

Finally, Master the Joy of the Upward Spiral: The sacred act of transforming every mistake and failure into a “repentance platform”—a launching pad for the next, more glorious iteration of your own becoming. “What is this trying to teach me?” becomes a prayer, not a slogan.

The Crown Jewel of All Competence

In the holy government of your soul, Learning Competence is the very air that the King and all his ministers breathe. When you are truly teachable, your entire kingdom becomes a place of endless light. Your Responsibility (D1) is refined by better methods. Your Sociability (D2) is healed by apology and repair. Your Engageability (D3) is deepened by listening. Your Loving Competence (D4) learns new boundaries. Your Sovereign Competence (D5) is humbled and strengthened by counsel. And your Discernibility (D6) is made ever more precise, for a teachable soul is always tuning its own instrument.

This is the great secret of eternal PROGRESSION AND JOYFUL life. It is not a static destination, but a joyful, endless, and upward journey. It is the covenant to remain a student of God, of people, and of the moment you are actually in. It is to learn that humility is not the confession of your weakness, but the key that unlocks a power, a light, and a joy that will never, ever end—line upon line, grace upon grace, worldS without end. Closed-mindedness and not having the eager child-like curiosity of mind to learn and expand will be replaced by a thirst for ever greater knowledge and wisdom, learning becomes fun instead of drudgery.
