When you receive the Seal God will plant His garden in you, just like the Garden of Eden. And soon you will bear enough fruit for a picturesque little xylorama.
It took God a week to create the earth and what surrounds it. First was the earth and then He created the light. God divided the light and darkness and there were day and night. That light is the light of Jesus Christ.
That was when it became the first day. On the first day He divided the waters and created the atmosphere. Those waters are the waters of the Holy Spirit and that atmosphere is your own Spirit.
When you are sealed you become a complete little ecosystem. You become a little earth. You start out as one tiny plot of ground capable of growing a single seed. You have the potential to grow into many gardens, ultimately spanning the entire earth.
God put some of the waters (of the Holy Spirit) in the atmosphere. That is where your Spirit and the Holy Spirit commune together, often in oneness. On the second day He separated the dry land from the waters.
That dry land is the place you can be sealed, and all that land is available for growing in your garden. And that is just what God did next--He created all kinds of green grass and such for your garden, and many types of trees.
On the third day God made the greater and lesser lights, the sun and the moon, and He also created the stars surrounding the earth. That was the day Jesus shined forth in all His current glorious brightness.
On the fourth day God created the life found in the seas, the fish and other creatures, along with the birds of the air. The fish and other life in the sea He created along with the Holy Spirit dwelling within you. The birds He created with your own Spirit.
And finally comes the fifth day. That was when God created the life of the earth, including the people. These were created by God the Father with the help of your soul, where you are sealed.
The first fruit you bear in your garden will be the message. You will start by growing a single wheat seed until it comes to fruition. That will be the first message you send to the world.
That single seed will bear much fruit and so the message will multiply. Soon you will be sending many messages, and that is when the wheat seeds will transform into people, no longer messages only.
Then you will be growing people in your garden, for what once was the message has become the believe
in the message. God will finish this work for you just as He began it when He first sowed a little message in you.
So you will begin as a tiny plot of ground sprouting just one seed. Eventually you will expand into a glorious garden with many herbs and trees. Then you will be a beautiful xylorama, a fruitful forest.
When you are sealed God will do this for you. He will make you into that tiny plot of ground. He will sow the first seed in that ground. And He will watch as you give Life to the seed along with His Help.
Because just as the light (of Jesus) and the water (of the Holy Spirit) and the air (of your own Spirit sanctified by God) is needed to grow things, so the earth is needed. And the earth (sanctified by God the Father) is your Seal.

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.
