How can I see?

In my opinion, the veil not only covers what we knew about our Father, the plan, and our brothers and sisters in the premortal life, but also things we knew about ourselves. Of course, maybe it was hard to see even then. How, then, are we to see these flaws and strengths hidden far within us?

Trials. Trials are the names of the game. Trials bring out both the bad and the good in us, which helps us to learn if we allow ourselves to recognize and to learn and grow from these discoveries. In finding a strength, we can hone and improve that quality, that gift, and use it more often to help us through other trials. Likewise, when we recognize a fault, or weakness, we are then able to work that fault out of our lives, or to make that weakness strong.

This growth, of course, comes through our dependence upon the Savior and His Atonement. Only through Him can salvation come unto the children of man, and only through Him can weakness be made strong, and sins be made clean.

So, not only do trials test us, and remind us of our dependence upon Him, but they also provide the perfect environment for us to recognize things in us that we may not have recognized otherwise. Thank goodness for the plan.
