butterflyI originally offered this blog to readers in 2018 and there’s a reason I’m rerunning it now.  An unusual serendipity occurred:  Over the last 10 days, I received a request from four unrelated people asking me to send them a copy of my Caterpillar/Butterfly blogs.  It was so odd to suddenly be getting these random requests at the same time that I thought it signaled a nudge to republish them for you now.  I loved rereading them again and hope you do, too. And wow, it feels so timely right now!   ~ Love, MaHulili 

Dear Butterfly, 

  It was so unexpected to receive your wonderful letter!  I can’t thank you enough; it helped a lot.  I’ve always known surrender was important but I didn’t realized how important it is to me right now. 

Even though I’ve dreamed I might be something more, being caterpillar has become such a habit I guess it’s hard to give it up for what might be just a dream.  Your note helped me strengthen my belief in it again, thank you. 

If you have time to write again would you mind answering three questions? I wanted to know, Are you really my Higher Self?  What do you mean, “we’re changing together?”  Also, any last words of advice?   

Thank you so much for being there,

Love,
Caterpillar

Dear Caterpillar, 

It’s lovely to hear from you and I’m always happy to answer your questions. Before I do though let me comment on something you said.  You said my note helped you strengthen your belief again.   

Belief can be a problem when you shift toward quantum-ness.  Beliefs have been important to you, I know, and they do serve purposes.  In the past, beliefs lead you from one way of being to a new way of being – it was one of the ways you grew.   

You may have, for instance, traded in the religious beliefs of your childhood for more esoteric spiritual beliefs as an adult.  Including the idea that you might be more than you were taught.  And that you could become that magnificent “more.” 

To transform that idea from a belief into a reality, you have to leave belief behind.  That can be a little tricky.  It takes surrender of your beliefs.  Yet belief is what’s gave you the idea and the hope to get this far.   

You have believed something else is possible, you’ve defined what it is, you’ve affirmed it often and corrected thoughts that lead away from it. You’ve worked hard at maintaining this belief to increase it’s probability. 

However, belief can’t take you further now.  It can’t take you where we are going.  You can no longer just believe you could be something else.   You’ve finished that stage.  It’s time to go ahead and be it.   

You either are it or you aren’t.  That’s quite a conundrum.  You need to release your belief and allow it to become something else.  But not a new belief.   

What then?  Something unknown.  Undefined.  A surprise.  A gift.  Morphing into the unexpected is an alchemical act of great magic that happens in giving up beliefs, giving up thinking you have the answer, that you know how to do it, that you can figure it out and get it right.  I’ll leave you that to ponder. 

Oh… and yes, I really am your Higher Self.  When I say we are changing together, what I’m saying is that one of the wonderful things happening is we are blending more and more.  Sharing a life together, consciously. 

In a way you could say it’s me that will emerge from your cocooning.  That is, you’ll still be you though more elevated because you’ll be more me too.  You see I’ve always been you, just on another “level”… assisting from there.  But I’ve never been separate from you.  We’ve always been one and the same, just on different planes of perspective. 

Now that you’re joining me on this level, we’re merging more and more.  On the physical level, it looks like we are e-merging as something new.  But it’s still me and you – in a beautiful new blended form. 

It’s happening, it just is, so I’m not sure you need any last words of advice, but you might enjoy this little poem I wrote about it.   

I remember clearly the day
I learned to fly was when
rather than contempt the earth
I learned to love the sky

You see, it’s easy to be so busy trying to let go of what you perceive is weighting you down, you miss the fact that to fly you only need to trust the sky and love it with all your heart, like me.

We’re doing it together!  I’m excited and I can feel you are too, 

Love, 
Butterfly
