Guest Post by Todd Hayen
During these perilous years, I have often been reminded of the scripture from Matthew 7:6-7. Here is the New King James Version:
Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.”
Although I personally believe the “Shrew’s Message” is holy, I am sure many may not wish to put such a divine spin on our efforts to seek truth regarding vaccines, corrupt government, and constitutional freedoms.
However, I think most will agree that the description “pearls” matches close enough as a metaphor for truth, and that swine could easily symbolize sheep, which, of course, symbolizes the masses who seem to be concerned more with things other than truth and human dignity.
Another more secular take on the verse from scripture is: “Never try to teach a pig to sing, it is a waste of your time, and it annoys the pig.”
Same thing, really, just a funnier way to look at it.
So, what does this mean?
I have not met a shrew yet who did not have a huge heart. I have met many, and it does seem that the common denominator amongst us is our connection with soul, with love, and with the divinity of life (so much so that we do not fear so much the loss of the physical body, because “being” is more than that). Now, I don’t mean to imply that there are no sheep fitting the same description I give the shrew. There are many, and I know those heartfelt attributes amongst many that make up the fuzzy, furry herd as well. But I have also met many sheep who are indeed heartless, selfish, and terrified of losing their physicality. Many. But not, thus far, found amongst shrews.
This observation seems a bit odd to me. Of course, there are always outliers, so don’t attack me if you know a heartless shrew or two. I am sure, for example, there are many angry shrews, and many shrews as well who are fed up with the stupidity and heartlessness seen out there in the sheep world. That all stands to reason. But as a general observation, shrews are lovers. And as another general observation, shrews believe beyond the material or “seen” world. Many, if not most, are believers in God (or some sort of Universal Mind). I believe these common denominators are reliable indications regarding one’s shrewness. Do you?
If so, what are the pearls we possess? What is holy amongst us that we wish to share with all? And does Matthew 7:6-7 make sense to us? Or does it seem cruel and un-Christ-like to withhold what we find holy and sacred from those who trample and spit and gnash teeth?
I believe that what shrews hold that is holy is their tenacious clinging to truth. Deception and lies send a shrew into an alarming spin. And it just goes against their nature to not cast these pearls before the swine of blindness, indifference, and ignorance. Are we trampled and torn to pieces? You bet we are. Or at least we have been in the past. I know many of us have given up casting out our pearls in our effort to show our love for the world and humanity. And I know many of us have only received as a response the trampling and the tearing to pieces Matthew warns us about.
But how do we know what we cling to is actually truth? Take the vaccine, for example. The sheep say it is our duty to take it and say from the beginning that it is a miracle of modern science and that it will effectively and safely rid us of the current scourge of disease. Why aren’t they right? Why isn’t their statement truth and ours just hysterical selfishness?
I have always said that the scientific inadequacies of the Covid vaccine, and the possibility (now a certainty) that the jab is physiologically dangerous, are not the primary reasons I believe we are speaking truth when speaking out against it. It has always been for me the methods they have used to convince us to take the shot that has shown, without doubt, that what we call truth is, in fact, truth. The coercion, the false promises, the censorship of dispute and criticism from the medical and scientific community, the obvious disregard toward children’s health in their efforts to vaccinate them, not to mention the utterly inhumane treatment of those who chose not to be vaccinated—ridicule, denigration, disgust, loss of job, loss of medical treatment, left to die, told to die, careers destroyed…This is why I know what shrews have said is truth—and what the agenda has said is deception and untruth.
So, I still come full circle back to Matthew. Why should we not shout from the mountain tops the injustice of these unholy acts? Well, like most scripture, Matthew 7:6-7 can be left to interpretation. A key element in its wise words is what exactly we are casting our pearls before—dogs and swine.
Both beasts are inhuman creatures. Obviously, this is not to be taken literally, but the implication is important. And the verse does not clearly say to not do the casting, but that there surely will be consequences (do not do this unless you also expect this)—trampling and tearing into pieces. In other words, if you cast anything holy to dogs and swine it will be trampled upon, and you will be torn to pieces. It doesn’t say not to do it at all—it is a warning, just be aware.
However, that said, maybe we shouldn’t do any casting after all. We have tried our best to pull the innocent from the fire, and they have proven to not be so innocent. Maybe the aforementioned second non-canonized proverb is to now be considered—our casting is a waste of time, and creates annoyed pigs, ahem, sheep.
But alas, we are good shrews, and thus good people. We are very sincere when we wish for a healthy, aware and conscious, community of people who put love first, and consider hate a very distant competitor. Maybe casting is not the right idea, maybe there is a better way. And maybe the dogs, sheep, and pigs, will begin to reach deep inside to again discover the holiness of their humanity. Maybe it is just a matter of time.
We are, after all, not dogs, sheep, or pigs. We aren’t even shrews. We are all human. We are all holy, and divine. We are all pearls made by the hands of God.

The swine of today are the invading swarms of swarthy takers.
So many “civil servants” and politicians are filthy swine too, Joe.
THAT IS CALLED A “HIERARCHY” TODAY…AND IT IS A “TOTAL FAILURE” TO HUMANITY!
So when your father told you not to eat that lead paint you balked at the hierarchy inherent in it ? That is to say , is it possible that there are good hierarchies as well as bad ones ? I have it that I as a mature man am to look up to God rather than my wife or children , they are to look up to me .
Well said. The Spiritual hierarchy is very real, and works for the benefit of Soul. What people do not understand is that Satan is a part of this hierarchy. He is not only in charge of earth, but the whole lower worlds, which is the four lower heavens. This is clearly documented in books like,
, and other Eckankar books. This is not the Hollywood Satan, but the God of the lower worlds. He has many names. In Eckankar, he is called Kal Niranjin, but he is also called, Allah, Jehovah, etc…
Kennyboy, when your father told you not to eat that lead paint you balked at the hierarchy inherent in it?
Yes he did, and he ate the lead paint chips to prove it, hence his current comments.
Kennyboy, why isn’t your name in bold caps? Are you trying to get serious?
WHO “ARE” THE BIGGEST “TAKER’S” IN HIS-TORY (HISTORY)???
Who are the biggest MAKERS in history Kenny ? Cmon , don’t deceive yourself about the true answer to that question , WHITE European stock . Its like what I have always said about the Ashkenazi , they have the highest IQ’s on average , so when they go , whichever way they go , good or bad , they make a big impression . There I go , casting pearls perhaps , but what did it really cost me , kinda like voting eh ?
Sorry Kenny, I meant to write “WHITE EUROPEAN DESCENDED MALES ” , they are the ones who have contributed the most to making humanity less of a brutish struggle ,but after a certain point the computer program wont let you edit .And yeah , I’m partially of that stock , with the other part being from that Island where the Leprecauns roam so I’m thoroughly of maker stock but I also have a soul .
The Zulus followed by the Somalians.
Dang , had this whole writeup on the paradoxical nature of enlightenment / transcendence ( as soon as you say to yourself ” yep I’m the shit ” you have blown it for sure , and as soon as you declare whole collective swaths of ” those people out there ” the problem ” and start working up to a” final solution ” for them , well, you have become that which you started out to oppose . You gotta take folks as they come to you , as individuals . “Dont fire till you can see the whites of their eyes “, unless you have them scoped in of course ) and the ghost in the machine wiped it out ,oh well .
There are times when it is required of us to cast a pearl before swine, but they are both rare and Holy.
John The Baptist and Jesus both knew this to be true.
It’s ALL about the context.
It is all about timing , but as a rule somebody asks me something I’m telling them ,to the best of my ability, the truth ,whether that makes em butthurt or not lol .
It does tend to get us rent(? rended) though, doesn’t it? The best way to avoid shit is not to start any. That’s my position on it. The butthurt is just an incidental bonus to me. I’ll tell ’em if they ask, but then again, I pack heavy everywhere I go now, so I just don’t worry as much as the next guy.
In the end, life comes down to two questions. What am I willing to die for? What am I willing to kill for?
It’s just better for everyone if we never find out where those lines even are. Just be aware they exist.
No, we’re not. Such is what the devil himself would have you believe. Gods view of humanity…
Romans 3:10-18 KJB… “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: Their feet are swift to shed blood: Destruction and misery are in their ways: And the way of peace have they not known: There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
Yet, He somehow loves us enough to offer Himself on the cross that we might be saved from the inevitable wrath to come.
What nonsense. What shameful words from Paul. To think that “christians” believe this heresy. What an insult to our Common Father.
You think our Endless Loving Father is so unforgiving, bitter and remorseless that he damns we, his creation eternally as worthless failures? Do you truly see God as some violent hanging judge, quick to condemn and expel his own children? What a sad opinion to have of God and our relationship with Him.
Pearls before swine, indeed.
Uhhh, keep reading. You’ve missed my point, that is to say we are not divine. Far from it, thus our need for a Savior.
Romans 3:19-26 KJB… “Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.”
So God creates an arbitrary rule, creates a flawed humanity that breaks the rule, punishes all of humanity because one person is tricked by satan into breaking the rule, then can only be satisfied to “forgive” by torturing and murdering his own “son”? This is your view of God and the point of Jesus?
If that’s the way you want to view it, knock yourself out. Me, I glory in the cross.
Galatians 6:14 KJB… “But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.”
I get pearls and pigs. But where did the shew stuff come from? WTF?
Whose the shrew? What is the shrew’s message?
Is it Shakespeare?
There’s no hidden meaning or complexity in Jesus’ excellent advice. Don’t waste your time speaking the truth to people who aren’t interested in the truth. It just confuses the issue, wastes your time and makes them angry. One of his greatest hits.
