You wake up one ‘morning’ to realize and rediscover something that has always been inside of you. From there, you find all that is incompatible with it, and you let go of them to create room for the things that are compatible with it.
You start to see how the world around you is changing, especially how you are enveloped by uncertainty everywhere and yet for some strange reason you find peace and comfort in that uncertainty, because now you have eyes to see the infinite possibilities hidden in it.
You start to gradually remember all that you had forgotten. And with every remembrance you smile at how long you lived in the forgetfulness of your very being.
Metamorphosis
The caterpillar learns and obeys the outer world, the chrysalis learns about the inner world. Oh, but what comes out isn’t only beautiful but has learnt how to give life to what it once destroyed
So many caterpillars wishing to become butterflies, yet they haven’t found the cocoon! Is it because they believe all they are is what they have come to know as the caterpillar? Hence refusing to let that image go? There is a truth beyond the caterpillar that the caterpillar must know. Do you know who is gonna teach you from the inner world? The real teacher of the inner world? Do you know who the christians call the Holy spirit? He is the one to teach you all things, and how is he going to do this? From within. Those who have found the Holy spirit are those who have truly found the real cocoon of life – Ready to transform

Now the butterfly has lost its attachment to the earth. It is free to fly, It has a gentle touch on earth. It has developed eyes for beauty (flowers) yet it once had eyes only for leaves. It has the right ‘organs’ to extract ‘nectar’ from life. It is complete enough to contribute to creation (reproduce). It now lives a life of heaven on earth. Finally it serves as a model for all the caterpillars to see their true potential.
Once, the most beautiful butterfly roamed this world and He put all the caterpillars in a permanent state of awe. Yet, He simply looked at them and said, look at me, there is a more glorious way for you too. I am the way, the truth and the life. What I am, you can all become! You simply need that transformational power of Truth!
