You Were Talking...

 

You were talking about 

“wearing” this string of pearls, 

rather than keeping them in a box. 

How these realizations or pearls of wisdom 

we have verified 

need to be kept close to our heart and head, 

so that we don't have to search for them 

when we need them. 

(Or this is what I took from your comments.) 

I think this is related to the idea 

of "having a longer thought." 

Staying with our realizations and verifications 

until they have gone really deeply inside, 

perhaps as part of revealing 

who we are becoming in a very real way. 

Then of course they become part of our very being, 

and we can draw upon them 

in a natural way when we need them. 

I think part of Mervyn's fear 

that we might lose the Work was about this. 

It is not sufficient for the head 

to make an important connection. 

I must also bring it into all my centers, 

explore it, see how it manifests, 

and make it truly and completely my own. 

Then it will be mine 

and it will inform who I am becoming in the richest sense.
