Knowledge Gleaned

Neither take ye thought beforehand what ye shall say; but treasure up in your minds continually the words of life, and it shall be given you in the very hour that portion that shall be meted unto every man. (Doctrine and Covenants 84:85)
Whatever principle of intelligence we attain unto in this life, it will rise with us in the resurrection. (Doctrine and Covenants 130:18)
Ray Bradbury probably isn't a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, yet I find several of the doctrines he holds to in his novel Fahrenheit 451 can be explained or referenced easily by latter-day revelation as given through the Prophet Joseph Smith. How can this be? Because knowledge comes from truth. Truth is unchanging and eternal.
In this world of Fahrenheit 451, there is only one way to keep the knowledge of the past. You can't keep it in material sources. It MUST become a part of you. Memory is the most important aspect of knowledge. Being able to reference something on a page may work while that page is accessible, yet, as in this terrible world of book burning, that page may not be accessible in the time it is needful.
Bradbury has an easy, conversational style of writing, which enabled the book to be read quickly. This may be the quickest read I have come across, as I checked the book out yesterday afternoon and it is already finished and written about this morning. There are good discussions within these pages. Again, I feel this is one of my preferred books and is now on the list of favorites.
