[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] ... When a spirit enters a tabernacle here in this life it enters into a state of sorrow. Yet if we understood things in their tru light we should be satisfyed with it. 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. ...

    This occurs only at conception in the mother's womb per Zechariah 12:1, the only exception being Jesus Christ, who is the only One to have lived on the earth who had a pre-mortal existance.
