When the spirit enters the body it enters a dark sell and is left to sorrow & to be tried in all things but when the spirit leaves the body if a saint it enters into the brilliant light and glory of God like taking a prisioner out of a dark sell whare he could see a little glimmer of light through the grates & put him into the blaze of the mid days sun.
~ Brigham Young
