“Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet..”
– Matthew 7:6
I considered this teaching as I was bearing one of my soul-stories to a new friend over lunch today. I could tell by her reactions, and by the questions she was asking, that she’d rather be talking about something else. Then later she admitted that she wished we’d been talking about Game of Thrones season 7 instead.
The point of it all?
It’s certainly not that anyone is a dog or a pig, that’s not what this teaching is communicating. We are all precious Divine beings, beautiful Lights! It’s just that you would never give a pearl to a pig or to a dog because they wouldn’t be able to appreciate it; they would find it useless. Similarly, not everyone has the capacity to recieive and appreciate your gifts, so be discerning.
Love everyone, of course. But know that everyone’s not ready for you.
