THE QUEST OF THE PEARL- THE ROBE OF GLORY (A POEM)

Thus, when this pearl of spiritual enlightenment is found, then again the “shiny dress” and the “purple Toga”, then again the soul can wear its own natural garment.
But say the “parents” More significantly, this condition will be reached, “with the brother, our next in the Rank “. This means that by the decree of “Parents “,
The soul can only return to his house with the help of a brother, a perfect Master. It is only through a perfect Master that the soul can become an heir in our kingdom.
A true son of his parents, a son of God. A perfect Master is one with the verb that he is a personification of the word, and in many other cases in the mystical writings of this period, the Master is also called the Son of God, as well as the brother.
In this poem, however, the soul is the son and the Master is the brother.
The use of the pearl as a mystical metaphor is of interest. Its very origin lends itself to imagery,
For a pearl is hidden among the flesh of the hermetically sealed oyster. One would never have suspected the otherwise improper and banal oyster to possess such a secret treasure. Indeed, the oyster is not aware of the hidden richness in itself. Thus, the parallels to the state of the divine soul, captured or veiled by the layers and folds of the mind and body, present a rich harvest for the poetic metaphor, and the translucent beauty of the pearl was commonly used by the Mystics of this Period to symbolize the soul and the spiritual purpose.
The Gospel of Matthew preserves such an example:
‘‘The Kingdom of Heaven is like a merchant,
Looking for beautiful beads: who, when he had found a pearl of great price,
Went to sell everything he had, and he bought it. Matthew 13:45-46 ‘ ‘

  1. This meaningful poem has many similarities with the biblical parable of the prodigal son. They both imply that we have left the rich house of the Father to enter the world of action and the sacrifice that he had to make for us to be so fulfilled and happy from birth. This approach is part of the process intended to make us aware of the importance of who we are and the value of all the riches that God has provided us so that we glorify him for what he truly is and so that we become worthy to enter into possession of our eternal kingdom. But to achieve this, a lot of effort and sacrifice are necessary, because just as the spirit of happiness which animates us and which reminds us from the depths of ourselves of the beautiful celestial memories through music, sex, sharing , success and other experiences that thrill us at times; matter allows itself to be pierced with great difficulty before revealing to us its secrets which constitute the pearl of great value with which we must one day present ourselves before the creator for his greatest happiness and our greatest good. To better ensure the success of this journey, he has provided us with everything we need and expects us to make good use of it at the appropriate time. All this is clear and clear. However, what I fail to grasp is the difference between spirit guides and Jesus. The Bible speaks of the latter as being the messiah, the savior of the world and the one who must judge the living and the dead. In this sense it has become the cornerstone of the corner and the door to the sheepfold. It is also known as the rock of centuries. Why don’t all the other living teachers want to guide his disciples in the name of Jesus only? For it is said in the Bible that no other name was given in heaven and on earth to save than that of Jesus. My friend, would you like to enlighten me more on this subject?

    1. Jesus’ mission is completed on earth through his gospel. If you love me, keep my commandments, he declared.
      A modern-day Master must recognize the importance of his message which aims for the perfection of those applying who must one day become like the heavenly Father. There is no conflict when it comes to the goal of each spiritual guide, but the problem lies in the methods used to achieve it. Because, very often some of these methods contradict each other and reflect the desire for a mutual rejection of one pedagogy over another. “I have made your Name known to the men you gave me.” By saying this, Jesus implied that God does indeed have a Name of his own. However, the very idea of ​​a single name is incompatible with hundreds of thousands of Masters who each communicate the name of God to their disciples. To respect the idea of ​​this unique denomination of the one true God, the Masters will have to drink from the same source. The teaching of Christ is therefore the foundation on which to build so that the house will be strong. If the Bible is the reference book par excellence in matters of spirituality, it is fashionable to cling to it. “Every spirit that confesses that Jesus is not the Christ does not come from God” says the Apostle John.
      Consequently, the notion that Jesus is the cornerstone places him at the center of debates in order to realize whether he is the perfect Model that all other Masters must follow or not.
      Thank you for your contribution my friend in the work of re-education of others.

      1. Who can say that they are not leading their flocks with the same name that Jesus had given to his disciples until now? Which I very much doubt, and who would know?
        If anyone knows this name yet, that would be great. It would prove that no progress has been made if Jesus’ sheep were hanging around here until now.
        Here is how the Masters of Sant Mat explain this matter of name:

        17:4 I have glorified you on earth, I have finished the work that you gave me to do.

        Explanation :

        I have filled my disciples with love and devotion to You. They had forgotten You by loving the perishable world, but now I have turned their faces towards You. “I have completed the work you gave me to do. » Christ does not say that he can save all souls after his death. He declares: I have completed my mission; I have nothing more to do in this world.

        Like all true Masters, Christ was in constant communion with the Father, and naturally he had no need to express himself in words.

        Whatever Christ says to his Father, he says for the benefit of his disciples. He knew and his Father knew, that his task was finished, and that he would now merge again with the Father, but he said all this out loud for the sake of his disciples, to comfort and comfort them.

        17:5 And now you, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world began.

        Explanation :

        I have completed my mission, says Jesus. So, Father, bring me back to You, where I was before I came here. Take me back to where we were before You created the world, before creation was. I was with You then, and I desire to return to You now, because my mission here on earth is completed.

        17:6 I have made your name known to the men whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me; and they have kept your word.

        (Who can be proud of having been one of these men?) EN

        Explanation :

        I gave birth to love and devotion for You in the souls You gave me, says Christ. They were Yours to begin with, before creation, but then they were lost in this world, and You gave them to me to bring back to You. They have now been connected to Your Word – Shabd, or Nam – and are on their way back to You.

    2. Are we not still in the Christian era?
      The current Masters do not come with a new message other than that of love, therefore, the Comforter does not announce anything more than Jesus had already said. The order is well established.

    CHAPTER — The Descent of the Soul and the Quest for the Pearl: The Return to the Original Abode

    I. The Descent: The Great Sacred Forgetting

    The soul does not fall; it descends.

    It leaves the Abode of Light, wrapped in its Robe of Glory, and traverses the spheres until it reaches the density of matter.
    This passage is not a punishment, but an initiatory veiling.

    The soul accepts forgetfulness in order to learn.
    It accepts fragmentation in order to know itself.
    It accepts matter in order to reveal itself.

    The descent is a silent pact between the soul and the Most High—a commitment to undergo the experience of separation so as to better rediscover Oneness.

    II. Blood: Memory Sealed within Matter

    As science advances, it discovers what the ancients knew:
    everything is inscribed in the blood.

    Blood is:

    • a book,
    • a code,
    • a memory,
    • a liquid fire,
    • God’s signature within matter.

    When a human being suffers, science looks into the blood—and finds traces of inner imbalance.
    Yet it remains unaware that the blood also carries the memory of the Robe of Glory, the memory of the original state.

    Salvation is difficult because man is unaware of the sacredness of his own blood.

    III. Religion: Hesitation at the Threshold of Mystery

    Religion promises absolution but does not reveal the nature of the soul.
    It speaks of prayer but forgets the science of the return.

    Prayer soothes but does not replace knowledge.
    It calms the ego but does not awaken the soul.

    The soul does not return through supplication.
    It returns through memory, through clarity, and through the inner quest. Religion should enlighten man regarding his spiritual nature, not his physical one.
    It should teach the path of return, not merely the plea for forgiveness.

    IV. The Quest for the Pearl: The Myth of the Soul in Exile

    In the Gnostic hymn, the soul is a prince sent to Egypt to retrieve a Pearl guarded by a dragon.
    But upon descending, it forgets:

    • its mission,
    • its origin,
    • its Robe of Glory.

    This myth is a map.
    It describes our own journey.

    • The Pearl: Divine Consciousness
    • The Dragon: the density of matter
    • Egypt: the incarnate world
    • The Robe of Glory: the soul’s original state

    The soul must remember in order to retrieve the Pearl.
    It must purify itself to once again don its Robe of Light.

    V. Matter: The Laboratory of the Inner Alchemist

    You expressed it with rare precision:

    The Fall is a laboratory.
    Matter is a crucible.
    Man is an alchemist unaware of his own nature.

    Matter is not a trap.
    It is an *athanor*—an alchemical furnace where the soul transforms.

    In this crucible, the soul:

    • grows dense,
    • confronts itself,
    • purifies itself,
    • takes on density,
    • reveals itself.

    The descent is the preparation.
    The ascent is the transmutation.

    VI. Inner Work: Reclaiming the Robe of Glory

    The soul does not ascend because it prays.
    It ascends because it remembers.

    It must:

    • retrieve the Pearl,
    • recognize its nature,
    • purify its blood,
    • rekindle its inner fire,
    • reclaim its Robe of Light.

    The Robe of Glory is not a garment. It is a vibrational state, a divine frequency, a recovered consciousness.

    VII. The Return: Reintegration with the Origin

    Salvation is not an external event.
    It is not a reward.
    It is not a grace bestowed from the heavens.

    Salvation is an unveiling.

    It is the recovered memory of what we have always been:
    beings of light temporarily clad in red, walking toward the memory of their own eternity.

    ✨ Final Synthesis — The Architecture of the Return

    • The soul descends in order to forget.
    • It forgets in order to learn.
    • It learns in order to transform.
    • It transforms in order to remember.
    • It remembers in order to ascend.
    • It ascends in order to don its Robe of Glory.
    • It dons its Robe in order to return to the Original Abode.
