As soon as you delve into the knowledge of something new, significantly different from your established view of life and the universe, chaos often arises in your mind, known as "cognitive dissonance." This is a sure sign that you are on the right path. The main thing is to persistently continue learning, not be afraid of temporary difficulties, and not revert to your former comfortable worldview. As a result, you will acquire a more productive worldview and more sustainable spiritual peace.
We seek consensus about the Book of Mormon. Joseph F. Smith wrote, "If you have built for a man a better house than his own, and he is willing to accept yours and forsake his, then, and not till then, should you proceed to tear down the old structure. Rotten though it may be it will require some time for it to lose all its charms and fond memories of its former occupant. Therefore let him, not you, proceed to tear it away. Kindness and courtesy are the primal elements of gentility."
