A caterpillar will only become aware of it’s truer purpose
to life once it nourishes itself on the fruits of life to finally become what
it was all along, a butterfly. While
living as a caterpillar, it is ignorant of it’s truer self and purpose to life.
The question is, are we the caterpillar or the butterfly?
Some people are caterpillars, some people are butterflies
but some are also pupating between these two distinctly different existences, does
it matter which one we are and the answer is of course is no because we are all
butterflies in a sense.
Not all caterpillars become butterflies because of life’s ventures;
this is no big deal as we will get it next time around. The reasons some of these caterpillars don’t become
butterflies will be because of lack of nourishment, for it’s within our
nourishment will we find our truer selves and our truer purpose to life to
finally become a butterfly. It does not
matter how we nourish ourselves as along as we nourish ourselves enough to
become what we truly are. You could look at nourishing ourselves through life
as being awareness building, the more we nourish ourselves on the fruits of
life the closer we are becoming aware of our truer selves and our truer purpose
to life. Life itself is nourishment, it’s
how we take this nourishment not what nourishment we take that defines if we
will pupate into a butterfly or not. This is in reference to all systems of belief
we take on, does it matter as long as we still become aware of our truer selves
and our truer purpose to life?
Does it matter if we pray, meditate, eat right, sit right
and so on? No because everything in life is nourishment, some of these
nourishments will assist us more but in the end it’s how we take these nourishment
that matter. If a butterfly nourishes itself on the correct food it will become
aware of itself quicker but does it really matter if it takes longer eating
less nourishing foods? I suppose it does to the ego but that is all. Judging
that we must nourish ourselves in a certain way otherwise we are not doing it
right is of the ego and ego is one nourishment that can extensively delay or cancel
out the process of becoming a butterfly.
Yesterday I participated in our annual pub crawl in
Maryborough QLD Australia; to some people they would judge this as being so and
so which again is of the ego. No I wasn’t
drunk at the end of the day, accept on life, but I was tipsy, actually very few
people seemed inebriated on the day to any great extent. Like I said many people judge this as being so
and so and again judgment denotes ego and the ego is one nourishment that can extensively
delay or cancel out the process of becoming a butterfly. In all does this even
matter how we become a butterfly as long as we do in the long or short run? It
doesn’t to me.
I thought I would share a few pics from the day. I should
also emphasis they don’t call this day a pub crawl anymore but a pub fest which
is more socially accepted.
