The Oyster’s Wisdom
I was driving to the Indian spice and herb shop in a place called Kiryat Ata, in Israel, which is about thirty five kilometres from where I live, and this is the first journey of this ilk that I have made since January, 2020, when the virus debacle began. This time I was driving alone, as is my wont, when I require to be in my own space, and when I can think and be with few distractions, other than the driving conditions.
Well into the journey, I began to experience an expansion of mind and being, which does happen to me from time to time, which is a precursor to downloading information from an unknown source, although, in this instance I feel it was from a group of people I have recently connected with, in what I feel is the seventh dimensional reality, the place my soul regards as home.
I received/experienced an understanding why I, and all others, incarnate into this realm, and why my own life was and is the way it has been and continues to be.
I was given the example of the oyster, whereby, sometimes a little grit penetrates the oyster, providing its host with an irritation, whereby, the oyster begins to coat the grit in layer after layer of ‘Mother of Pearl,’ so as to reduce the irritation, and eventually, produce a miracle of nature, a beautiful pearl. The Light came on within me, and immediately I cognized the analogy and how that relates to life on this planet.
Each of us humans are born into this realm, or we arrive here as a ‘Walk-in,’ and so compelling is the attraction to incarnate here, in this 3D reality that many souls are just queuing/lining up to come here for the experience.
Generally, and I can only offer this information in general terms, as there are always exceptions, depending upon karma and destiny, we are born into this realm experiencing some kind of impediment or irritation, just like the oyster, as follows;
- Born into a dysfunctional family.
- Born in a very poor family, functional or dysfunctional.
- Born into a very rich, dysfunctional family.
- Born into a primitive environment, or a highly technological environment.
- Born with Soul amnesia
- Not knowing what one wants to do in life
- Experiencing violence and deprivation
- Suffering in all its forms, and cruelty to animals.
- Destruction of the planet, war, and pestilence.
There are many more possibilities, but, I trust you get the picture.
Many humans seem to get caught up in the expectations that are levied upon each one of us, by those who are narrow in their perception, generally, and we have people/leaders who are short sighted, limited in vision and consciousness making absurd laws, rules, regulations and conditions for people to follow. Then there are those whose greed and avarice for money and power supersede their humanity, and they will do anything to achieve their intention, even if it means the destruction of people and the planet. Such examples are incessant wars, conflict, and artificially created pandemics, to name a few.
Most of us will, no doubt, have an opinion, and yet, I feel that most of us have completely lost sight of the gift that all this suffering offers. In other words, all the suffering, in every way, shape and form, usually results in the resolution of karma and following a chosen destiny for the soul to evolve in consciousness, or in other ways that are beyond our understanding, in this moment. The main gift, in my opinion, is that, similar to the grit in the oyster, all this suffering can have the effect of stimulating a better reality, and learning how to do that. You see, and I feel so sure of this statement, this 3D realm of polarized duality, with all its apparent weaknesses and strengths, faults and challenges, is where we can learn what we are to learn the fastest. Being a human in this 3D reality on planet earth can be the fast track in evolution of the soul, and much faster than anywhere else.
Just imagine living in a realm where there is balance, love and compassion, where it is like heaven to be there. You will have a most marvelous experience of living in peace and harmony, and at the same time your learning curve will be slow and limited. Why, because there is no reason to change the status quo! For some reason, even in higher frequency realities, we still seem to incur karma, and/or the requirement to have certain experiences that are included in our Cosmic Resume/CV, and for us to be able to achieve that we come to this, seemingly, God-forsaken place called Planet Earth.
Even when conditions on Earth may be very good for someone, such an experience may also be a big distraction, making it more challenging to actually learn a major lesson. I know people who are completely disinterested in Self-Improvement, Self-Healing, and in any form of Self-Help, because they feel they do not require it, yet, one can observe their limitations in thought, word and deed, which they are not.
Therefore, whatever our living conditions, and no matter where we are living on this planet, and with which ethnic group, everything we are experiencing presents opportunities for us to make ourselves into Cosmic Pearls of Beauty, Love, Compassion, Knowledgeable and Wise, living in harmony with others and our environment. This necessitates that we learn and grow in consciousness, which is our innate potential to be less mediocre, and more the great beings we are, and destined to be, eventually, depending upon the success of the transformation of the human grit into the human pearl.
This is such a big concept to comprehend, even while it is simple. To fully comprehend this, we are to feel it, which means we are to find a way to balance our minds with our hearts, and actually transform any and all dysfunction into functional Being. Learning at this level means that when we leave the body and return to that place the discarnate souls go, in preparation for further adventures, we take whatever we have learned, whatever growth we have achieved, with us, and that enriches our soul. All material objects remain here on this 3D planet, for others to play with, when they embark upon their great and wonderful adventure of learning and growing, if they so choose, this time around.
When I Face any challenge, and I Embrace it in order to Erase it, I feel I have covered my Spiritual Pearl in another layer of “Mother of Pearl,’ and I feel good about myself, and I look forward to my inner pearl being just beautiful. Let all our inner pearls be beautiful.
