An interesting thing about that is that it very well can be your sealing up unto eternal life. Meaning that the avenues by which you will obtain is assured and you are good to go after you die. Only you can search it out and seek an answer. I would suggest starting first with receiving your 1st comforter experience if you have not yet done so. I hope this helps:

The power to seal someone unto eternal life was brought to us by Peter, James and John as they brought back the melchezidek priesthood . When moved upon by the spirit, Joseph would seal people/groups/congregations (not couples as a family unit thats what Elijah came to restore) up to eternal life and in many patriarchal blessings the high preist in the office of patriarch was permitted to give such blessings upon spiritual inclination to do so. The office of a high priest can do so, according to section 68 verses 4, 12 (context is important; He is speaking to high priests). In your case, your patriarch pronounced the words that verify being sealed unto life eternal assuming you come to and obey the first principles of the gospel. Receiving the 1st comforter experience will allow you to see the kingdom and by retaining that remission of sins and enduring to the end and say you do not see the Savior, you are still promised eternal glory at some point. His conditions are set and will be met. But seeking Him is ultimate..I am not saying the 2nd comforter is not essential, what I am saying is that for those who have been sealed up unto Eternal Life, they will not need the visitation per-say. The knowledge they will have will be comfort and only those who are sealed up unto eternal life will meet with this comfort at some point and be content, like the 9 nephites were content..it is not evil it is just a different calling or position in progression they find rest in. They will feel the approval of their maker we as a whole cannot judge them for they are His.

There are similar wordings of being blessed with eternal life based "upon our faithfulness". in our patriarchal blessings, but to those who are "sealed up" unto that, they are good to go. But it must have been done by the spirit under the direction of the Savior, because He is the only one to seal you His but either by His servant or Himself it is all the same. I cannot emphasize enough that it must be done with His approval and Spirit and not by the words a patriarch is use to using in his blessings. One can know if they are truly sealed up upon further seeking, knocking and asking. These are guidelines to help you on your journey. Hope I could be of some assistance.

These are some insights I feel I have been led to by many incidents, studies, manifestations, etc.
