Pearls are small truths…
distilled wisdom…
words that feed the soul.

The oyster uses sand, an irritant, to create a Pearl. It is using evil for good

A pearl may comfort you. A type of manna, food for your spirit
A pearl may challenge you. Using the Truth to set you free
A pearl may awaken substance within you making you stronger, not wronger

Pearls feed the joy, rest and peace within you, it’s their manna & substance

Pearls can also: convict, free you up, point out, promote change, give pause for cause, nourish, direct, correct, convict, provide foundation, secure as the soul is being fed. REMEMBER: when you feed the soul you feed everything

Seek Pearls for the Soul for they are surely seeking you

Read slowly. Ask Questions. Share with others (iron sharpens iron)
Ponder deeply. Pause for cause. Sip don’t gulp. Eternal sustenance is timeless
Let something greater meet you where you are. Lose control to gain purpose

UNENDING TREASURE IS WITHIN YOU THE TRUE COIN OF THIS REALM

SOUL DEFINED: The soul is the essence, or core, of the human being; the place where God and man interact and understand each other through insight and revelation. There is a small place inside the soul wherein the gates of hell
cannot enter. Nothing can come against that place, and it answers
exclusively to the Creator. The soul is a container and must always be filled.
What you fill it with, be it good or evil is what it contains. And what it
contains affects your fate, character, and destiny. Its contents shape the soul
for better or for worse. It originally housed your measure of God & you and was created for that purpose. When God reduced, a void remained. Now, the soul, which was once a holy place, the temple of God, is overrun, desecrated, and occupied by unholy entities, dark forces & your corrupted nature.

YOU MUST SOLVE THESE TWO RIDDLES BEFORE LEAVING

  1. THE SECRET OF LIFE (ORIGIN)
  2. THE WHY YOU and PURPOSE of YOUR LIFE (here & the afterlife)

SPECIAL NOTE: There is value to be attained in everything during your brief journey here. If you belief in God, then all things are possible, doable & have perfect endings here, and in the times to come. If you do not believe, then do the best you can do, and go as far as you will or can, which is permitted for the earthly journey. I chose a side. A spiritual one not a religious one. Be at peace with your choice. All I have written & proposed is for your consideration and awaits to serve you. We are going through life together. How great is that!

SPECIAL NOTE: Do not attempt to memorize or learn what is written here no matter how good it sounds or effective it is or to become a Pearls for the Soul robot as these actions will feed your ego & pride & expand on your false identity issues. We are looking for YOU, the real one, not the substitute, imitation, stand-in or sales job, not your thoughts or thinking nor your parents’ version of who you should be including authority figures, role models & mentors. Use all of that to find all of you. Beware & prepare for the following:

THE FIRST TRUTH

The first truth you will discover is the truth about yourself, who you are, who you are not, who you think you are, wannabe, pretend to be & fool others by not to mention false identities, dark force influences, ego resistance, acting, manipulating & the mother of all: what you tell yourself. This first truth smarts and is painful as it first loses power, starts to decay & die, then onto healing, recovery and relief from the lies that made a home in you, some of which you don’t even know about or see but others do God most of all and at the same time, will help you shift from phony-deception & pretending not to know, to the real where the light of reality will guide & aide you, driven by the love of Truth. This journey is necessary, doable, bearable & profitable should you stay the course and finish what you have started. In the spiritual-mystical realms, what starts must finish to complete the cycle of life which runs the Universes

MY LIFE PURCHASE INCLUDED YOU

I have spent my entire life to capture and submit to you what is written here for your consideration. In seeking the YOU, I provide a leg-up, an edge in your journey, a type of steppingstone or short ladder. I am an aide or tool, a servant if you will to the primary focus i.e. you finding yourself in becoming complete and whole. The inner work is the hardest but the most rewarding of any work you will ever do, PLUS travels with you, when you exit this realm. If you thought this could be outsourced, you are mistaken for your soul answers to the soul giver, the lover of your soul, and you must present it personally

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by
the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So
throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover. Pearls for the Soul (pfs). 77.27

Look forward to having butterflies in your gut start to flutter around as you advance closer to yourself. Some of your experience will be familiar, while others will trigger your common sense and AHA moments, while still others will point you in the right direction to pursue more subject matter. The books (click above) are very good in supporting these happenings & more. Confirmation & validation is not uncommon from those who have visited with the materials. It is important to note that what you are searching for is within you, under your nose & chin so to speak. We may discover, redirect or shift paradigms perhaps bringing ourselves current or cleaning out our inner thought closets of beliefs. None of what I have submitted to you has any power, meaning or magic but instead, YOU DO. You make it come alive when it triggers what is in you to begin with. One thing I can promise you, assuming your motives are pure, that you will up your game, your personal stock will rise, people will want your value, but first, you have to want it. The journey is personal & intimate.

REFUSE AND CHOOSE WISELY THE FOLLOWING

There is, available to us all, during this short, mysterious journey everything known and unknown for our exploration, pleasure and enjoyment. The catch is there are two parallel dimensions traveling side by side, one of the earthly realms and the other of the spiritual realms. If the spirit is not on point, a conflict develops, which is for our sakes, whose purpose is to remind us that all is not as it should be, could be better, and needs some attention. The earthly, carnal & tangible delights, all allowable and available here, pursue us as we pursue them, give us temporary pleasure and joy, wear-off, and then have to be repeated to continue the desired results. The peace, rest and joy are not permanent but instead, fleeting, repetitive & elusive. The spiritual realms, once fed, store the beneficial experiences within your soul where nothing can take them back, be lost, or where any decay take place. The peace is not of this world, the rest deep and satisfying, and the joy unspeakable exceeding our thoughts, five senses and emotions. Store and pursue the worthy stuff in the soul for the earthly goodies and delights are food for the worms, WORM FOOD, for those that remain stubborn. Is that you?

THE TWO TRUTHS

This will help you in not judging others but instead, capturing what is really going on. Your personal stock will soar when you adopt, learn and practice the following concept. You will register a burden being lifted from you

PERSONAL TRUTH: Everyone has their own belief system unique unto them, their journey and experiences. Consider also that all travel in their own time, ways, directions, arriving when they do, sometimes taking all their life too. They have what they have, i.e. beliefs even if they are strange, lack sense, are far-out and the mother of all: they disagree with your belief system. As you embrace yours, for whatever reasons, they embrace there’s. They are hot, you are cold, they are hungry, you are full, they like swimming, you like sunbathing and so on. THE POINT: Why argue, judge, condemn, make fun of, persecute or punish someone different than you? Listen, learn, comment, stay silent, thank them for sharing, or for the daring, ask them if they want feedback and input, which essentially are your observations driven by your beliefs regarding them. Only do this if you have something to say or do. Enjoy them for whatever reasons or walk away as you see fit. Learn to mind and mine your own business but always have an interest in others welfare & being. Besides this truth bringing your results, comfort & pleasures, its main function and purpose is to lead you to the following truth and should let it do so.

ETERNAL TRUTH: This truth oversees all. It was here before time, the Universe and all creation was, it is here now making sure things run and will be here long after you leave planet Earth. You are the visitor, the guest in the House of the Lord and His ways, and this Truth reminds you of it all days of your life. Without this Truth, nothing exists. THINK: A vast body of water and your personal truth but a drop. Your drop must join with the large body of water to survive because alone, the drop will evaporate. The oceans go on
