When you receive the Seal you will have access to the moral Wisdom of God Himself. You will know good and evil the way God perceives them by dianoesis, much like Adam and Eve knew when they were "awakened" in the Garden of Eden.

God created the world and the universe surrounding it in seven days. On the fifth day He created Adam, the first man. He breathed the breath of spiritual Life into Adam once He had shaped him out of the earth.

That is how God will set His Seal upon you. He will shape the Seal out of the earth and impress it upon your forehead. The Seal is in the shape of a little piece of ground where a single wheat Seed is sown.

That wheat Seed is Jesus Christ. God will sow Jesus and He will grow up in your soul until He bears Fruit. And when He does bear Fruit you will immediately have more seed to sow.

When you sow the Fruit of Jesus grown to perfection, this time you will be growing the message. And when the message bears fruit and you sow that as seed, you will be growing believers in the message.

This is why the Seal of God is in the shape of that little piece of ground. Because then you will grow Jesus up to perfection, and also grow the message of salvation, and believers in the message.

When you are sealed you devote your life to God. Indeed when you are sealed He will not let you wander away from Him for very long. He will always bring you back until you have surrendered your whole life to Him again.

And along with devoting yourself you have times when you will repent, especially in the beginning when you are overcoming sin. You will teach others to repent also, so God will accept them and perhaps will seal them too.

In order to repent (and to teach others to repent) you will understand good and evil, right and wrong a little like God understands it. You will understand the difference between sin and righteousness.

Not everyone is blessed with the ability to tell right from wrong, though most people believe they have such an ability. Why do they not have a sense of morality? Because they do not see right and wrong as God sees it.

You can never simply recognize good and evil and judge accordingly. You always need to know more about what happened. You need to know the thoughts and the feelings of the person who does something right or wrong.

And you can never simply judge according to what you know is right or wrong. You depend on the mercy of God--not on His Judgment. When you understand by dianoesis you too will not be simply judgmental.

Mercy is victorious over judgment. When God shares with you His moral Wisdom you will experience dianoesis. This is the thought process by which you understand good and evil, and these thoughts will be full of mercy.

Because to know good and evil is not necessarily to judge between them. Adam and Eve at the Forbidden Fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and their eyes were opened. So will your eyes be opened in dianoesis.

When you are sealed God will share His own moral Wisdom with you. You will perceive it by dianoesis. But you will not begin to judge because of what you know. You will become even more merciful when you receive the Seal.

It seems rather odd to refer to any of what follows as secrets. For one thing, the word “secret” implies that something is hidden and the wisdom below is anything but secret. In some form or fashion, you could find these in virtually any spiritual tradition. Second, “secret” implies that the spiritual wisdom that would lead one to the life he/she really wants is really only accessible by a few. And, the unfortunate tendency is not to regard your self as one of the select few. But, of course, you are.
