Paying the price isn’t a ceremony of self sacrifice, it is the reality of discovering true worth that is already ours and within us. Reach inward and lay hold of it.

It isn’t about line after line of what resides on each page but about the single pearl hidden within. It is enough to toss away the book completely for what is now laid hold of is the discovery of the ages. This was the point all along, the treasure, not the ‘chest’, the only use of the chest was to be a vehicle and capsule for the treasure.

For ages we’ve read each page without light, by the darkness of our self attempts at understanding. In reality, the inside of the pages are so bright. Look within; look beyond, see the glistening pearl; see everything for the first time. The pages were but a shadow but now we see the full picture.
