I also feel individual Christians  find that Jesus is always present in their consciousness. While Christian Churches put God in peoples' hearts, Christian contemplation puts hearts in God. It gives a wider angle of vision so institutionalize doesn't mean fossilize because the individual is still growing. The oil of enlightened love is put in the latern by Jesus, but supplied by God the Father. This enlightenment guides individual Christians to their station in life, helping them understand their goals, Christ, the meaning of self, and the world. A sacred fire within Christian Mysticism illuminates the secrets of the heart and the knowledge of the mind.
