The spiritual promise is not of this world. It's in Spirit. It's of God and in the perfection of what that is. And when we open our consciousness and have a glimpse or a realization of that spiritual promise, something transformational takes place. It's as though we're all candles, but we don't really know what that means until we're lit up. That's really the promise of a candle - that it is lit and illumination is the fulfillment. The candle really doesn't have its true meaning until it is lit. We don't have our true meaning until we are awake in the Spirit. We are going to do that as our natural destiny.-John Morton, DSS
