[Pryr-1.2-12] But I will now show a little more distinctly, what this Pearl of Eternity is.
First, it is the Light and Spirit of God within Thee, which has previously done you little Good, because all you want is the things of this World.
Your Reason, and Sensibility, your Heart and your Passions, have turned all their Attention to the poor Concerns of this Life, and so in turn you have become a Stranger to Heaven, and the Riches of Eternity within
God cannot be truly found by anyone who does not worship Him in Truth, which is why this Light and Spirit of His, though always within us, is not, and cannot be found, felt, or enjoyed, but by those whose whole Spirit and Mind is turned to it.
[Pryr-1.2-13] When Man first came into Being, and stood before God truthfully and openly, this Light and Spirit of God was as natural to him, as the Light and Air of this World is natural to the Creatures that have their Birth in it.
But then Man, not content with the Food of Eternity, must instead craved things earthly. From that desire, the Light & Spirit of Heaven becomes unnatural to him, and is apart from his Creator.
And in truth, this really is the Death, that God had foretold Adam, when He said that Adam should surely die, the Day that he should eat of the forbidden Tree.
