“Every time you’re afraid, do you fall flat on your face? Does fear have that effect on you? … How come these people all fall down when they’re afraid? Well, this is routine. … Remember, [they lived] in a religious world, a sacral state. … So if something unexpected absolutely bowls you over, what happens? You’re in the presence of some great or divine influence. You don’t know whether it’s good or bad, but you know it’s powerful. It’s more powerful than you are, so what do you do? You play safe. You take the position of complete submission. You fall on your face, and it becomes quite automatic” (Nibley, Teachings of the Book of Mormon, 3:260).
