- Question: Can a person "feel the spirit" while watching movies?

- Question: Can someone feel the spirit when listening to stories of apostasy?
- "Recognizing the Voice of the Spirit" (Podcast): "How can I come to know that spiritual experience is not just a product of chemical processes in the brain?"
- Question: Will our manifestation of truth from the Holy Ghost be a "spectacular" witness?
- Question: How can you know if an answer to prayer, a personal revelation, is true?
- Question: Why might someone not be able to see their spiritual impressions come to successful, obvious, and/or beautiful fruition?
- Question: Can spiritual experiences be simply willed to reality?
- Question: Can one simply decide when one feels and doesn't feel the Spirit?
