The Queen
The mature conch is now a warm white. The crusty brown of its earlier years has been worn away with time, revealing the smooth, glossy surface that lies beneath.
A gash at her crown is evidence of the meat that has been extracted, leaving only the shell, which represents life, but is not life itself.
In the same way, our bodies are simply shells holding that which we truly are. It is a piece of clothing to be discarded upon death. The meat of the shell has been extracted and left a void in its core, leaving room for a higher level of existence.
Just as the outer crust of the shell has been worn away from the harshness of life revealing the glossy white that lies beneath, so too can we choose to liberate our minds from suffering and live a life united with a higher level of Consciousness, reflecting the white light of Love that is our true Being, through our every thought, word and deed.
We can rise above the changing nature of life, existing in a dual state of participation within the physical world and a life in complete union with The Divine.
Love, God, Universal Consciousness…Being.
A state glimpsed by many but sustained by very few.
