MORGAN J., The Proving of Pearl Taken from the Common Mussel
Perla
The proving of PEARL taken from the common mussel. This remedy proving was undertaken by Helios Pharmacy staff 22 March 1997 (the time of the Spring Equinox, Halebop and the approaching Easter celebration).
It is a meditative proving conducted while making the remedy from substance to 30c. Receivings, sensations, dreams and symptoms experienced during and after the making and taking of the remedy are those recorded.
To complete this proving it would be ideal to also conduct a conventional proving
The power of a group of people in Harmony and in a Heightened (and protected) State of Consciousness must be emphasised here.
With thanks and Love and Light to Everyone at Helios. And Special Thanks to Rosemary and Rachel.

Pearl - dreams
- vivid dreams: unable to recall them.
1. Cycling on a bike that was too small for me, following a colleague to a big expansive beach: brilliant sunshine, warm day.
• In a shack, aware that I’m going to have to do a talk, but not sure where I am and when. A woman gives me a flat piece of leather with a symbol on it and tells me to meditate on it. I leave the shack in order to return home and change for the talk, knowing I must be back by twelve noon. But the weather had dramatically changed to a full-blown storm with thunder and lightening actually hitting the sand.
2. Friend/patient unwell. Suggestion of cancer. I was told 3 times, ‘No, it’s lupus erythematosis.’
3. Approaching Seville in airplane. Very grey and misty. Disappointed as wanted sun. On arrival, everyone spoke Norwegian. Sitting at a long, long table with couples each side, male and female alternating. Chatting to neighbours while eating; they finished and left. Another couple came. Then 2 priests arrived - tremendous applause - seems they had done something great in somewhere like Sarajevo or some similar place.
4. Dream of the 2 aspects of Lucifer represented for me by 2 men (I know): man a)- very spiritual, light and feminine, who was constantly pointing to something connected with Pearl: a book or a symbol of some kind. Influence of the Light - Enlightened Love. Man b)- a great square-faced man with a huge furrow between his eyebrows - driving all over the place in a huge landrovery car. Very Kali-looking: closed - heavy - masculine - lumbering. Into the physical. Dark.
Apparently also completely governed by his own sensuality. His sleazy reputation preceded him everywhere. He was well-known for one-night stands - including rape, and had frightened a girl so much she had pretended to fall asleep.
5. Dream of being in a very grand garden - just walking about for no particular reason but feeling of should not be there and that should be using my time working etc. - not enjoying the garden. Another important feeling but have forgotten it.
6. Dreamt I was in an odd-shaped kitchen trying to place things on very narrow shelves and the things would not fit. My mother comes in with a very serious expression on her face and I feel dread that she is going to criticise me for something. She tells me that there is going to be an explosion and the world will turn fluorescent. I think how nice, but how strange it will be with orange grass and pink trees etc.~ Not threatened - but fascinated by the idea

Mytilus edulis
Mussels are one of the commonest bivalves on Britain’s rocky coasts. They have been eaten by man since early times, and the first mussel farms in Europe were established in France in the 13th century.
Mussels extract not only food particles from the surrounding water, but also any toxins and pollutants present.
These become concentrated in the mussel’s body, making it unfit to eat.
Some mussels contain many minute ‘pearls’ produced by wrapping up irritating particles in mother-or-pearl.
Spawning occurs in early spring, the larvae floating in the plankton before settling down to colonise new areas. The attachment, or byssus, threads are secreted as a thick fluid which hardens on contact with water, firmly anchoring the mussel in position.
Mussels can re-absorb their threads and move about until they find an ideal place to settle: however older mussels rarely move.
• Mussels often grow in tightly packed clumps, attached to the rocks and to each other by byssus threads.
Barnacles often attach themselves to the mussels and predatory dog whelks may bore through their shells.
• When exposed to the air the mussels remain firmly closed.
• A mussel opens only when submerged. It feeds by drawing water in through the frilly siphon and emitting it through the plain one.
The harmless pea crab lives inside the mussel’s shell, feeding on it S waste products.
Pearl - appendix 2
further prover’s experiences:
After the dream I did a visualisation and received the following:
Man a! ‘Lucifer I am. Light Bearer before my descent into matter. I carry the light within my heart - light that absorbs light to reflect more light. The Soul reflects and gives back in this miraculous two way process. The Self-contained wisdom of pearl is the key to it S soul purpose; the soul’s purpose is to find and to give out more and more light, and to reflect back the light in others It is so easy for a light-being to maintain and to emit light. So hard in the physical body - which is the soul’s task on incarnating: to transmute the grit and irritation back into light. Which is the beautiful lesson and learning of Pearl.’
Man b/ ‘Lucifer I am, forgetting my source; descended into matter. Governed by the reflexes of my own physical desires. The wish to be everywhere at once, but trapped by this large, lumbering physical vehicle. Thought governed by intellect and rationality rather than intuition and creativity. The act of procreation - which should be one of love, of Souls merging at a point of deep physical union - a brutal forcing of the will, so that the soul seeks to escape through oblivion, an oblivion brought on by a numbing of the senses because the pain is too great. And so descent into matter - into unconscious, none etherealized matter, is complete. And this begins the lesson of the pearl; to remember; to connect; to feel the painful grit; contain it -and transmute it back into the light.’
Pearl - Afterwards
The theme of this dream has been the theme in my life the 3/4 weeks immediately after Pearl. Initially there was this wonderful sense of connection with and empowerment from a spiritual source through my own meditation and channellings - especially strong over Easter time. This was accompanied by symptoms resembling thrush -and blowing blood out of my nose, as though my sinuses were infected. An awareness of and deep connection with the Christ energy and an understanding that I was being cleansed; spiritually, emotionally and physically.
Then the dear kind thoughtful universe presented me with an opportunity to feel the pain from my childhood. I met (having not seen her for over 30 years!!) again with the nanny I had had whilst we were living in Turkey (aged 5-7 years approx.). She showed me a photograph of me sitting on the steps outside our house.
There was a sudden flash of recognition in me (I had not seen this photograph before), that this picture was me as I was almost never allowed to be; scruffy, tomboyish, not smiling in that awful rictus of false fun you do for the camera - with very sad eyes, and I could see my feet (most photos of me were never earthed). I suddenly remembered as well those very scuffed slip-on brogues I always wore. And this realisation allowed me to feel so much pain from my childhood, of constant loss; lack of connection; instant connection and severance.
This particular nanny was lovely, I was really happy with her - she was this wonderful oasis of calm and centeredness in all the turmoil of life as a diplomat~ daughter with parents who really didn’t get on and a mother who always expected me to mother her. For the first and only time in my childhood there was someone for me - who let me be me; who did fun, child-centred things with me - and who then disappeared.
I wrote this in my journal shortly after meeting her; ‘I feel I have connected with a great well - and beyond it an ocean of repressed pain. I was astonished, writing what I did about Lynn last week, at the intensity of the feeling that came up. I just sobbed and sobbed, like Natrum-Mur - wracked, unstoppably.’
The experience, whilst painful (extremely), has also been incredibly positive, allowing me to make connections with so many of the disconnected, abandoned bits from my childhood and to begin, it feels to me, a process of recognition and integration. It has also shown/is showing - my pattern of blocking love, intimacy, connection out of fear of the pain of abandonment - and the lesson of just giving from the heart, without expecting (necessarily) a return.
So truly it seems - for me - as one of my Guides said the day after our meditation; ‘Pearl will use the problems and the grit to create a beautiful light. This I feel is it s essence.
He also (the Guide), mentioned a connection between Pearl and Rainbow - Pearl being The feminine principle of Rainbow. Where rainbow goes out into the world dynamically cleansing - pearl will use the problems and the grit to create a beautiful light. The one is lustre from heaven. The other lustre from earth - reaching into heaven. So they are marvellously connected together.’
From having been in an emotional state of feeling stronger -suddenly seemed to go downhill on the few days prior to my homoeopathic follow-up. When I booked it I was feeling optimistic and ready to move on. As my appointment approached I wanted to cancel, because I felt so bad about myself and I didn’t want to open up anymore and talk about myself.
I felt as if I didn’t fit-in despite having no feedback at all that should make me think that, in fact quite the opposite. I felt it was on the tip of my tongue to say I was going, and I didn’t feel I wanted to give any explanation but just go away and hide. I felt unworthy and, even though I know everyone has their own intrinsic value, kept comparing what others could do to what I felt able to do. I felt I hadn’t crossed any hurdles, was full of theory and no ‘doing.’ I felt sad and indulged in feeling sorry for myself1even though I know it is within my power to change things, I’d lost all impetus to do so.
I found it difficult to meditate and felt very tearful. I’ve made a few mistakes lately and felt disproportionately bad about them, mentally putting myself down even further. When travelling on public transport and people sat next to me, I felt they were invading my space.
Generally I felt extreme emotional sensitivity and the tiniest things triggered even greater feelings of worthlessness, despite spiritually knowing differently and intellectually arguing a case for myself, I just couldn’t seem to help feeling the way I did, just completely unable to find the will to even try and transcend my ‘miserable state.’ I felt people wouldn’t really think much of me if they knew how useless I was.
Monday evening before my Wednesday appointment a white lump came up on my lower eyelid (left). It didn’t hurt, I was just aware of it and naturally looked in the mirror; it wasn’t a sty (no real discomfort or general inflammation). It didn’t seem to be a spot it was just ‘there.’ I bathed it before going to bed with some very hot water on some cotton wool, which didn’t appear to do anything at all, it was still just ‘there.’
On waking Tuesday morning the white (opaque) lump about this (o) size had disappeared leaving just a red mark where it had been. There was absolutely no evidence of any discharge from it even.
After taking Pearl 30 soon after my consultation, this all pervading feeling I had had for a few days lifted considerably - quite quickly, and within hours I was feeling averagely normal again. The following day (today) Thursday 27 March I’ve had another Pearl 30 and am maintaining the improvement and feel fairly OK. One more Pearl 30 to go tomorrow!!
During proving circle (22.3.97):- I felt as though I was hit from the left towards the right side.
Felt twitching/jerking sensations in my body. Felt very sleepy.
Burning sensation in my stomach moving outwards. I felt very self-conscious as if being watched.
I feel tired, feel that it would be lovely to be a pearl sleeping, curled up in the soft warm, fleshy bed of a mussel.
Thought that I would not come to the arranged dinner tonight, as I feel too tired.
Felt a soft prickly sensation on my right side of my dorsal spine, and prickles on the back of both shoulders and upper arms.
I saw a green square on closing my eyes.
I started thinking about star signs and how, because my moon is in cancer I try to hide my emotions.
I wonder if pearl will have much in common with Calc Carb. When it was my turn to succuss again, I tried to pick-up a test tube but hit my hand on the polythene wrapper. I hadn’t seen the wrapping half way across the box. This reminded me that Madeleine had come into work this morning saying that she had walked into a glass door that she hadn’t seen, and bruised her nose.
Tired heavy head - I want to sleep.
More warm sensations moving out from my tummy/solar plexus. Thought about yesterday when my cousin said that I had been my sister’s primary carer. I wasn’t comfortable with her saying this in front of my uncle as I felt protective of my mother (embarrassed for her).
I found a brown mark on one of my teeth a few days ago and it made me think that pearl would be a good remedy for teeth. Saw a cross shape in green ultra violet light.
My neck feels stiff - keep rolling it to loosen it.
After proving circle (23.3.97):- I took one dose of Pearl 16 last night and the cold I had woken up with yesterday (sore throat, blocked nose and head) is much better. Didn’t develop into anything.
The word ‘noble’ kept coming to mind.
I had a dream on the morning of 23.4.97:- My sister, my partner and I were on holiday in Scotland I think - lots of mountains and lakes. My partner and I were boarding in separate places and my sister had borrowed our tent and was camping. I was worried that in the damp weather she might get wet and uncomfortable. Later we went swimming in the sea. A very big wave washed over us, and I was arched back and holding my sister against my chest and pushing her upwards in the hope that she would get some air, as the water was going to be over us for a long while. My sister is younger than me, but in the dream she is very little and I’m feeling protective of her.
I had three further dreams during the week following the proving:-
• In one I was talking to a close friend about something she had done years ago that still hurts me. I would be too embarrassed to air it again in real life.
• In another dream I spoke to my mother about past hurts, difficulty in relating and my mother listened and talked. She did not get defensive or aggressive and I was able to express things I have not been able to do in real life.
• In the third dream, I was talking to a group of friends about feeling excluded and unfairly treated. In reality I have not felt able to air my feelings clearly as I have felt that the friends expect me to deal with the situation and to get over it.
About a week after taking the remedy I was hit on the chin with an elastic cord on the carrier of my bicycle. The hard plastic bit hit me and has left a small hard pearl shape under the skin where the bruise had been At the time of the trituration process of the pearl I had been reading ‘The Joy Luck Club’ by Amy Tan. After the proving I realised how appropriate some bits of the book were to the proving. The book is about generations of Chinese women who had moved from China to America. When I photostatted the 2 relevant chapters 1 realised that both chapters related to the same woman; An-Mel Hsu - reinforcing the pearl theme/experience, threading through her life.
