A sacred rose is born out of a thorned extension. This symbolizes an earthly expression of the pearl.
The pearl starts as grit within an oyster, where the rose is born from the thorns.
It is only when the oyster stops resisting the grit does it become one with it, allowing the pearl chrysalis to occur.
Thorns on a rose symbolize the grit of an oyster.
The oyster represents the ark vessel, a physical container for Spirit.
The pearl itself symbolizes the Christ Seed held within your 8th chakra, known today as your higher heart (meaning that of your higher expression).
