Ever since the most ancient of times on Earth, there has been a secret path that every human walked, even if their brains didn’t know it. Only the most special souls came to know the secrets of the path in their soul-minds. Even if a person’s brain doesn’t know Butterfly Path and the purpose of life, their soul-minds and spirit-minds know it all too well. And now, you will be learning the secrets of it.
This path is called the Butterfly Path because the full name of the school that our souls attend is Butterfly Path school of divinity for souls. It is a school we all came to attend over many lifetimes, to make our souls divine.
It’s a journey of magic, wonder, and transformation, in which the souls of humans are transformed into spirits, who have tremendous powers, like gods and goddesses.
But first, let me tell you about Butterfly Path.
Imagine this with me. A tiny caterpillar, crawling along a leaf, munching away day after day. It worries about eating, about shelter, and about how it looks and how it is camouflaged. It is more concerned with competition to get better stuff, and to have more power, to be popular, to get better stuff and protect its stuff. It always wants more and never stops munching away. Real life in the forest, and beyond the forest, never crosses its little caterpillar mind. It is concerned only about itself.
But little does the caterpillar know that inside it, a miracle is waiting to unfold. With each nibble and life experience, the caterpillar learns knowledge about itself and why it thinks the way it does. These insights bring wisdom, and the caterpillar makes changes to itself.
It molts its old skins when it makes big changes to itself, becoming better and more wise, until one day, it finds by surprise, that it can spin the finest and most precious silk threads. These are what we call, “wisdom threads”.
The caterpillar (your soul), starts to spin wisdom that comes from deep within itself. Wisdom of beauty and loving-kindness it developed from all the different life experiences it had, and because of the changes it made to itself.
Just like the caterpillar, you, too, are on a journey of growth and change. Each day, as you learn and experience new things, you are learning about yourself, about your soul.
Did you know that your soul has three soul-minds? And each will become more wise and special, as you learn from every life experience?
Soon now, your soul will also start spinning silky threads of spirit-wisdom and understanding of the energies that connect all life. And just like the caterpillar, your soul will one day be transformed into a magnificent butterfly, a spirit who has eternal life. One day, you will be ready to spread your wings and fly to spirit-worlds no caterpillar has ever known.
Here is another secret, only the old souls know. I whisper it to your soul, because you are ready to know this.
When your soul starts to spin wisdom-threads of beauty and loving-kindness, and appreciates how all of life is connected with energies, the most amazing thing happens inside you. Starting in your heart, your spirit awakens. That is your higher-self.
Did you know, your spirit has three spirit-minds? And that your spirit-minds understand spiritual things, and even walk among goddesses, gods, deities, and heaven? Now, isn’t that the most wonderful thing? I’m so happy you are learning these secrets.
The Butterfly Path is a special kind of school. Every person, animal, and plant is your classmate and your teacher because all of them create experiences for you to grow in wisdom. In this school, you learn the most important lessons of all - how to love, how to be kind, how to keep things simple, and how to be humble, and how to make your own energy space, a better place.
And the best part of all? You are never alone. Each human soul has a special guide on this journey, a spirit-being, a wise and loving friend—your Divine Tara. Your Divine Tara is always by your side, helping you navigate the twists and turns of the Butterfly Path.
The ancient Sanskrit word, Tara, means, “they who can move between the spirit world and the material world”.
You are different, you know that. Not everyone learns the secrets of how to talk to and hear their Divine Tara, and learns about Butterfly Path. But your Tara wants you to learn. That is why you found this book.
As you walk this path, hand in hand with your Divine Tara, you’ll discover that everyone, all living beings, is connected in a beautiful web of different kinds of energies. Just like the caterpillar relies on the leaf for food, and the leaf relies on the sun for energy, and the tree relies on the living beings in the soil for nutrition, and other animals rely on the tree for food and protection, we all depend on each other to thrive.
So take a deep breath, young wisdom seeker, and get ready to embark on the most exciting adventure of your life. The Butterfly Path awaits, and with each step, you’ll grow closer to becoming the most beautiful, wise, and compassionate being you were always meant to become.
Butterfly Moments
Go on a nature walk and look for signs of transformation (e.g., new leafs, baby grasses, flowers making seeds, caterpillars, chrysalises, butterflies). Take a picture or draw what you find.
Do something kind for someone else today, not for thanks or validation, but to notice how it makes you feel.
