Learning from the beautiful butterfly can be such a profound mystical experience :)
It starts its life in an earthbound form, that crawls on its belly going from leaf to leaf.
Eating as many leaves in its path as it can, never satiating or caring what the consequences of its actions might be causing. For those in Northeastern PA know the detrimental consequences of the gypsy moth caterpillar and its voracious appetite: winter-like bare trees in the mid-summer :( Not to mention the a tree can only survive about 3 yrs without its leaves before it starts to die.
Then the little caterpillar goes into its cocoon, where it undergoes an amazing metamorphosis. Once the time is right, the new creature starts to emerge from its cocoon. Patience seems to be its constant companion, even from the start. As it wriggles out, which could take several hours, it then applies a healthy dose of patience as it waits for its new wings to dry. As fluid from its abdomen moves to fill its new wings, the butterfly starts testing its new wings by fluttering a bit.
Finally, when the transformation is complete it spontaneously flies off, into the freedom of the air, no longer earthbound :) It finds and lands on a gorgeous flower, who is the plant kingdom's most radiant high frequency expression. It takes a sip of the flower's nectar, which also is incredibly high frequency too! Then it flutters away in pure ecstasy and completely recharged as it goes on to find more.
Yet, this change even in its food-type is monumental, before it was eating leaves, a lower frequency food, not caring for the consequences of its' insatiable hunger. Now, it is not only eating probably the highest frequency food for an insect, but it has a symbiotic relationship with nature. In that the flower makes more nectar, which brings more scent or pheromones within it to attract more beneficial insects that help that plant or tree proliferate :)
We must become as the butterfly and surrender to the transformation that will aid us in leaving our earthbound state. Transforming from having insatiable hunger for lower frequency desires and being emotionally cut off from each other and the consequences which those fulfilled desires bring to our planet. Following the butterfly into the air in a graceful symbiotic dance with the enlightenment of plants: flowers ( Eckhart Tolle has called flowers the enlightenment of plants). Taking to the air, symbolizes our Rebirth into new bodies of Light and Love, that were nurtured within the cocoon of our heart-centered daily practice and eventually fully living :) In this new plane we are nourished with higher frequencies and form a balanced healthy symbiotic relationship with our beloved Mother Earth that is founded in understanding, compassion, love and reverence for her and ourselves.
Wow How poetic and so much truth in that post! Inspiring
