Metaphors of Transformation: From Caterpillars to Consciousness
Did you know that in the world of caterpillars, butterflies are merely a myth? Every now and then, a caterpillar might stumble upon a butterfly, but it's usually met with the same skepticism as a human spotting an extraterrestrial. Similarly, humans experience a profound transformation in death that shakes up their understanding of themselves and their place in existence. For caterpillars, it seems like life stops at the cocoon, and while they may have some inklings about what comes next, the true nature of transformation remains a mystery to them, as it does to us.
Isn't it fascinating how such profound change can unfold beyond the comprehension of those who haven't experienced it? It's as if consciousness and life itself operate on various levels. Perhaps existence is like a ladder or helix that we're always striving to ascend, even if we can't see the next rung. Yet, there's this fear of the unknown, this fear of falling. But in a spiritual sense, does such a fall even exist? It does not, as we are of God. Let's keep climbing higher.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Unless you are claiming to communicate with caterpillars and can provide evidence of such, why should you be believed? Why would their transformation into butterflies not be on par with puberty?

who said anything about believing me? It's a post on social media. Not a personal comment towards you. Why not on par with puberty? Because it's not on par with puberty. It is exactly what it is.
@Drank_Spear So...you have no idea.
@Fernapple no doubt it's what motivated your comment.
@Fernapple The Dunning-Kruger effect has important implications for areas such as education, training, and decision-making. It highlights the importance of accurate self-assessment and the need for feedback and objective evaluation to help individuals recognize and address their own limitations. Additionally, it underscores the importance of humility and a willingness to learn from others, even for those who may be highly skilled or knowledgeable in a particular area.
I'd suggest you STFU and grow the fuck up.
@Drank_Spear Wow! Defensive much?
@Betty I'm not defensive, I'm offensive.
@Drank_Spear That too.
@Betty point is if you have nothing positive or constructive to say why open your mouths? Because you're miserable fucks that need to share your misery? Look I don't want your negative shit. I'll take you negative shit and feed it right back to you. You want something other than negative shit you can feed me positive shit and get back positive shit or you can fuck off.
@Drank_Spear You are funny and predictable. Thanks for the laugh. 
@Betty Yes I love the retro feel, it is like being with someone who has been in a coma since the nineteen eighties, has just woke up and found the Dunning-Kruger effect, cognitive dissonance, etc. and wants to tell everyone.
