When I was a boy, I found and lost the key to a realm bright and hopeful as the dawn. This is my story: an esoteric tale of two worlds apart, two destinies entwined, a mystical friendship, and the prodigious secrets that bind them all—secrets locked away in the heart of humanity by the artificers of reality. Fate now calls you to lend an ear so that you might decide whether to enter the same covenant by which I am bound. For me, that fateful turning point of my life was the day I chanced upon Aristakes, the otherworldly youth in search of the stone of Dionysus…

Title: "A Soul's Pilgrimage: The Pearl That Lies In The Sea as a Luminous Parable"
Review: This book is a sublime artform of allegory and imagination. On one hand, it unveils for the reader an innocence of childhood which beholds both the resplendent notes of wonder and remembrance of whom we might have been before this incarnation, as well as the cruel vicissitudes and uncanny tribulations of material life. Through this tale, the characters herald an initiation into the arcane mysteries of existence and the numinous power of liberating oneself from its fetters, back to a seamless, tranquil union of our soul with our boundless spirit.This exquisite little tome is as a scintillating gem found on the margins of oblivion, proffering hushed intimations to kindle recognition within the reflecting mind. Might you recall who you truly are? Whence your provenance, and to where your voyage tends?Its pages hold, encoded as it were in a lost grimoire of esoteric sagacity from ancient mystery traditions, a cornucopia of fertile themes - from historical mythopoesis, architecture and Egyptiac arcana to religion, gnostic overtones, aesthetics, nature, eros, amity, mysticism and the supra-personal evolution toward spiritual liberation. And all encapsulated within scarcely one hundred pages! A tour de force of lucid wisdom distilled into such slender volume.It unspools as a curiosity of layered stories in which the discerning reader may interpret the open spaces between lines to glean the treasury of insight they contain. For this reader, the turning of each page proved to nourish my soul in places I hadn't known or visited before.I had an even more profound awakening as I immersed myself in our author's other seminal title: "A Book To Free The Soul" which now rests among the premier ranks of my metaphorical library for a deserted isle. That book presents an innovative schema of exegesis on the Gospel of Thomas and the neglected gems lying dormant within scholarly analysis, unlocking meanings reserved only for innate hierophants of life's deepest initiatory rites. Both these books prove priceless companion guides, worthy of being passed down to future generations.My daughter of ten years took keenly to its pages. She found the imaginings and personages fascinating, She felt curious and moved as she discovered more of the pearl's mystery whereof it tells, hiding iridescent in profoundest seas within her own soul. Thus this cherished tale weaves spells to enchant every wandering age and station of spirit who would receive its treasures.I highly recommend either text to the perennial seeker. I would love to see this story interpreted as a pictorial fantasia to match the vivid color of images it ignites. Like watching flames dance, once extinguished the impressions yet flicker behind the eyes, having reached someplace within the heart no words fully convey - save those rare jewels which do not merely speak, but awaken.

Title: You Are the Consciousness
Review: All of the reviewers are right on.However, I wonder what Steven's ten years old daughter thought of thecat's name"Epimetheus?" pg80. Enjoyed learning that the ancient Egyptians believed our essential nature to be dyadic. pg88. pg96"The seraphic essence and the soul will be united forevermore:time is conquered." And lastly pg61, "Isn't it interesting that people are seeking freedom on Earth and rarely freedom from the earth?" Also thoughts from pg51,62 and 78, but you'll need to read the book to find out what I underlined!

Title: Herein Lie the Keys to the Kingdom
Review: If you've found this book/it found you - congratulations. I've had it for a couple weeks now and have not put it down. The Pearl restored my soul through recollection of a timeless covenant. It reignited a spark of desire that had long since shriveled in the suffocating pain, cruelty, and deceptive perpetuation of this illusory world.This is a book that your soul wants to read. It reminds me of a quote from Kate Chopin's "The Awakening": "the voice of the sea speaks to the soul." This book spoke to my soul and my soul responded in a way that reason and rational thought will never comprehend, explain, or replicate.It is indescribably beautiful to rend the veil of this world and feel the ineffable love and presence of the one true light, the burning flame of the holy spirit of God. May this book ignite the flame of remembrance and reconnection in your heart as well!

Title: Initiatic Journey, Full of Symbolism
Review: Having thoroughly enjoyed "A Book to Free the Soul," I was excited to hear that Yves had written a new book. Despite being shorter, this book also does an amazing job of weaving together deep symbolism and esoteric concepts into a very personal story.I found that throughout the journey, the exchanges between the characters and the imagery left me with many more topics to reflect on. A particularly resonant quote was, "People like to hear happy stories to make themselves feel good because of the sadness of the world. But when they truly want to learn about themselves or the nature of the world, they will hear sad stories.""The Pearl that Lies in the Sea" is a testament to Yves Cadoux's ability to distill wisdom into concise and impactful narratives that lead the readers through a journey of self-discovery. I'm sure if you enjoyed "A Book to Free the Soul" or have considered the deeper facets of life, you will enjoy this book too.

Title: This book is not for everyone
Review: This book along "A book to free the soul" are the deepest books I've ever read and trust me I've read many esoteric/occults books. If you expect a "how to" to gain spiritual knowledge or achieve enlightenment just go somewhere else. This book does something you wont be able to notice at first. I can assure you this book is for a very small group of people having experienced spiritual encounters in their youth. I feel I entered a brotherhood stumbling upon the work of Yves Cadoux. As for most hidden gems, this book might go unnoticed by the crowd but if fate leads you here, don't run away from your destiny. Your life will be impacted in a way you can't imagine
