In Quest of the Pearl

Fourteen months after the events of Second Chance, Richard Sullivan returns to Maui filled with gratitude — and unanswered questions. His life and health have changed beyond anything he believed possible, yet he still longs to understand what happened to him. Back in Hawaii, he reunites with Jonathan, the gentle prankster whose unusual observations continually expose the limits of Richard’ assumptions, and Mamma Lila, whose love and wisdom seem to arise from a reality beyond words.

Across Maui’ beaches, valleys, and tropical landscapes, Richard’ search leads into conversations about form and formlessness, ego consciousness, beliefs, truth, Mind, and the mysterious relationship between time and transformation. Mamma Lila’ image of the pearl becomes a guide: just as an oyster transforms an irritation into something beautiful, wisdom emerges as yesterday’ impurities are released. In Quest of the Pearl is an uplifting spiritual journey toward the knowledge that cannot be given by another, but must be uncovered within.
