From Caterpillar To Butterfly
By Todd Goldfarb - Creator of the upcoming movie "The Shift"
How many of you really understands the journey a caterpillar takes to become a butterfly? I thought I knew what happens, but was explained the mystical journey in greater detail a few days ago and was completely blown away
I would like to share this story with you and discuss how the caterpillar’s transformation is highly symbolic with what’s going on in our world today:
Imaginal Cells and Transcending Change
The genesis of the caterpillar’s transformation begins with the appearance of what scientists have termed “imaginal” cells. Researchers have no idea where these cells come from, or why they appear.
They are termed ‘imaginals’ because scientists can only hypothesize that their purpose is to ‘imagine’ something incredible that is about to happen.
At first, the imaginals are fought off and destroyed by the intelligence of the caterpillar organism. But the imaginals keep coming back and eventually form clusters of cells to strengthen their domain.
Soon the clusters form bonds where they pass genetic type information to one another. The clusters resonate at a higher frequency then their host and begin changing the physical make-up of the caterpillar.
At a certain point in time, the long string of clumping and clustering imaginal cells switches gears from simply being a group of like-minded cells into the programming cells of the butterfly. They literally reach a critical mass of influence where the caterpillar’s destiny is altered to become a butterfly.
The pictures on this page show the beginning of the physical transformation the caterpillar undergoes, and certainly connotes a temporary state of chaos.
What is happening amid this clump of goo is old caterpillar cells transforming into wing cells, into antenna cells, into digestive tract cells, and so on. A new consciousness being born…
Implications of Imaginal’s in Humanity
Many people believe that this story is highly symbolic of what is occurring in our world today, and how a more evolved experience is on the horizon for humanity. Imaginal cells are clustering all over the globe, resonating at a higher frequency and bringing the light of a new consciousness to mankind.
We can see it tangibly by the countless people that are stepping out of their societal roles and doing things to help the collective good. We see it by innumerable organizations that are popping up with the sole mission of making the world a better place.
We can see it by books like A New Earth becoming international bestsellers for the first time in history. We can see it by mainstream icons like Oprah Winfrey taking this type of content and bringing it to the masses in unprecedented ways.
We can see it in the excitement that Barack Obama’s campaign is providing tens of millions of people with the simple message “we need to change things”. These are humanity’s imaginal cells manifesting and clustering.
They are resonating at a higher frequency and their purpose is to bring about a new consciousness to mankind where peace, sustainability and social justice become the norm.
Why Your Personal Growth Means So Much
In order for you to evolve within the collective movement, it is absolutely necessary for you to embrace your own spiritual development. The answers are not somewhere outside of you, but within the framework of your being.
Imaginal cells exist within your body right now, and are attempting to cluster together and help you increase your own consciousness. We The Change must begin with I The Change. The question is: are you allowing this to happen?
The spark for your individual transformation is all around you…all you have to do is look. Perhaps reading the words of this article will serve as an increase in awareness, and motivate you to expand your consciousness.
The point is, we must all become seekers of our own mission in life for a new global reality to take form. It is the only way…
What Our Collective Future Looks Like
Currently mankind resembles the clump of caterpillar goo shown on this page. There is internal conflict which is exemplified by great war, poverty and suffering that exists in our world.
But there are also clusters of imaginal cells emerging and organizing into stronger groups. The chaos we feel is part of the transformation process, as humanity is literally being pulled in two opposing directions as a rubber band being stretched to its max.
Our destiny is to emerge into a new realm of being, and we must each make the decision to either become a part of the new consciousness (butterfly) or stagnate with the dying way of things (caterpillar).
So allow yourself to cluster with the other imaginal cells, and “be the change you want to see in the world”. That’s really the best advise I can give.
Now, On To The Year Of Power...
*This web page illustrates just HOW LONG I have been working on this website! This web page was created in January 2008 with me sincerely believing that this website would be officially launched soon afterwards.
That obviously did not happen!
The GOOD NEWS is that it did not happen because the Universe just kept giving more and more gifts to include on this website, in addition to gifting me with vital messages to be conveyed via my many personal writings and quotes on this website throughout 2008.
And, of course, the timing of this website's actual launching, November 2008, right when it "seems" like everything we know is dying and crumbling is PERFECT.
Notice that I said it "seems" like everything is dying and crumbling...what if what is actually in reality happening is a HUGE Rebirthing and Transformation...the Old dying and crumbling to make way for the New?
One HUGE lesson that I have learned over the past year is to just TRUST the Universe and the direction that it is taking me in. Even if I have no clue of the rhyme and reason of "why things happen", and it may "seem" not good and sometimes painful, the Universe has always shown in the end that everything is most definitely....ALL GOOD! I just had to dig deep and look widely enough at the "Big Picture" with absolute trust and patience. Enjoy!
2008 - 2009: The Years Of Power!
By Carrie Hart
2008 - 2009 is the year of power, personal power, the power to create your life unhindered by fear and doubt, the power to come fully into yourself, reach your deepest core and shine out with all you are.
As the last year was a year of transition and often confusion, so the coming year is one of clarity and an explosion of power into your life. As prior years have been years of growth and learning, discovery and exploration, so this coming year is one of expression of all you have learned, full self-expression using the talents that have been created through your learning as well as those that have long lain dormant.
This is the year of power. This is the year of expression. This is the year of freedom.
And all of this is yours through the connection you have with the great all, with your own godliness, with the energy within you that ties to the great source of all energy. You do not need to earn this; it is yours. You do not even need to learn this; it is yours as a natural part of your being. You cannot help but be one with the power. It is simply so.
All you need to do, right now, is acknowledge it, feel it, own it. You do, in fact, know what you want out of life. You do, in fact, know your deepest dreams. And these dreams are to use the talents and characteristics that are within you. They are there for that reason. They are there finally to be acknowledged and utilized as a part of your full self-expression.
And so, claim this power. Claim your life. Claim your inheritance, your birthright, to be a fully-expressed and powerful human being, walking this earth with purpose, each step guided by the light of love, the pathway ahead sparkling with infinite possibility and the great and unending grace of God flooding down upon you as you walk.
See the glow within you, the spark of divine presence that is you. See yourself glowing brighter and brighter, glowing with the goodness and godliness that you are. See how that glow extends out and out, further and further, until it light up the world.
And from this space and this place, create your life. Pull out that dusty old dream, the one that seems too big, the one that everyone says is impossible, yet still the one that makes your heart beat faster.
Take it out and give it power; give it light and energy. Now let it go, fully charged and burning bright, and watch it ascend into the sky, up and up, until it is a star to light your life, hanging up in the firmament, ready to guide you each step of the way.
Connect with that star. Feel and see the bond that reaches from that star down to you. Feel that you and your star are one and the same. Feel that you have within you all the power of the brightest star in the sky, all the power of all that is, the true godliness of creation, all within you.
And now, stand tall and reach your hand up to the night sky. Point your finger at your star and see the lightning flash out. Hear the thunder answer. Let your power flash out in wonder and glory as you declare yourself clearly and fully: I AM! I AM!
This is your year to be guided by this star, letting each step expand your light and lift you higher. This is the year to shine out in freedom and godliness, shining as brightly as your star shines in the sky.
The time is here. Say it aloud, say it with power, say it because it is true: I AM!
The Wall
By Carrie Hart
There is a high wall in front of you. It has always been there. It goes so high, you cannot even see the top. And you believe that this wall stands between you and all that you desire. You think that this is the wall of your failings and shortcomings and that if you could somehow cut it down to size you would be able to reach your dreams. You think that you must become other than what you are, must improve, in order to deserve what is on the other side, in order to earn it.
But you misunderstand, for this is the wall of I Am. This is the wall of your greatness, just as you are, just as all is. You do not need to climb it and you certainly do not need to make it smaller, for your greatness cannot be made smaller. You need only to recognize your greatness, recognize that your power is fully expressed within you just as you are. You need only see that this wall is permeable, that you can simply step into it.
And what happens when you do this, when you step into your own greatness? You expand. You expand up into the limitless heights of being, while still being you, just as you are. You simply step into what you have seen as a barrier and recognize it instead as yourself, right now. In this moment, with everything exactly as it is, you are fully capable of stepping into your greatness.
It requires only that you see that this great barrier is no barrier at all. It requires only that you accept that this was an illusion and that there was only your illusion separating you from all that you wished to accomplish.
Reach in your hand. See how it is not solid at all. Now step in. Feel the wall. Become one with it. Feel its power, surging through you. Feel how, here in this wall of greatness, the wall of I Am, that you are fully expanded and expressed, unlimited.
Feel here that you are the beauty of the angels’ song, the sparkling wonder of the brightest star, the kiss of the gentle breeze and the roaring power of the ocean waves. You are all of this, because you are all that is, expressed as you, just as you are, exactly now.
Now, step all the way through the wall. Step into the garden of life and see that you can live here as an expanded being, fully empowered. And if you begin to feel any doubt or fear, you can simply step back into the wall of greatness and empower yourself again.
You are this. You are power. You are life unending. You are love and beauty fully expressed. You are, in fact, God made flesh. This is who you are.
