Nephi wrote his story around 50 years after Lehi's family went into the wilderness. He had a lot of perspective, experience, and achieved spirituality by the time he wrote on plates, that were destined to be 1 & 2 Nephi in the Book of Mormon.
The pattern Nephi followed, the hints that he gives, can enable a person to reach and see higher.
Hint: Nephi gives a quick background on his father, Lehi, in the very first chapter. Lehi ascended to heaven! What does that mean?

And do you hear and answer ev'ry child's prayer?
Some say that heaven is far away,
But I feel it close around me as I pray.
