The Pearl

 

This is a dimension of Being that teaches us what it is to be an individual in Essence. Being truly human in this way involves a life of spirit and a life in the world that is completely integrated.

Here, there is an integration of all of one's personal life with the personal aspects of essence. One feels complete and whole/full, independent and contactful. The luminous presence that is the Pearl Beyond Price is experienced as one's personal home. There is a feeling of being at home in body, in life.

The clarification and release of specific issues related to the obscuration of this dimension of Presence allow us to experience our lives as a process of development and maturation. Old patterns of destructive fixedness are released, but the wisdom of experience remains. Self-value and acceptance begin to prevail along with the appreciation for what we as individuals have to contribute to our universal human family. (See The Pearl Beyond Price by Almaas)
