When you receive the Seal you will take great delight in God. You will experience the ecstasia as Adam experienced it in the Garden of Eden just before he met Eve, the first woman.
When you are sealed God will plant a little garden in you just like He planted the Garden of Eden when He created the world. On the fifth day of Creation He created the first man, Adam.
He shaped Adam out of the earth and breathed His Spirit into him. This is how you are sealed too--an impression in your soul is shaped out of the earth and pressed upon you.
You become the tiny little piece of earth where a single wheat Seed is sown. That first little Seed is Jesus. You are the earth. So the two of you are companions in bearing Fruit. The two of you are partners.
And once Jesus grows up and bears fruit there will be more seed to sow. Every time a single seed grows to maturity there are many more seeds ready to be sown. That is the gift Jesus will give your garden.
First you will grow the single wheat Seed (Jesus) until He bears Fruit. As soon as He does there will be many more seeds to grow. Then your garden will grow in size. First the seed grows. Then your garden grows.
After some time your garden can grow to a great size, even spanning the whole earth. You will never gain the whole world but you can potentially reach some of the people everywhere in the world.
Since you are the companion of Jesus in bearing Fruit you are close to Him. You are partners and you make decisions together. You take risks together and enjoy rewards together.
So you share your thoughts and feelings with Jesus and He shares His with you. Be not deceived--not everyone preaching a "personal relationship" with Jesus has one now or has ever had a personal relationship with Him.
But you will have one, and a particularly close one, when you are sealed. That is because you will be chosen and He will write His Name upon you. You will belong to Jesus and He will claim your garden as His own.
As His own you will enjoy rewards with Him. He will reward you with pleasure often. When you produce fruit--even when the seed sown is not Jesus--He will give you a joyful reward.
You will not know fear and anxiety anymore for you will surrender these feelings to Him along with any guilt you have over the past. He will share with you His own Joy, Peace, Patience, and Pleasure.
So you will experience ecstasia while communing with Jesus when you are sealed. You will be taken out of your everyday life and you will be transformed unto the divine.
That is similar to what happened when Adam fell into the ecstasia. He felt like he was one with God and was not alone anymore. God was his only companion since he had not met the first woman Eve yet.
Only during ecstasia did Adam feel like he was not lonely, for then he was one with God. And that gave him great pleasure. But this time he was given another companion just like him--the woman.
When you are sealed you will not be alone either, whether you are married or not. God will always be your preferred spouse and partner. And you will know His pleasure in ecstasia when you receive the Seal. nnnnn

Secrets to Living the Life You've Always Wanted
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.
