2 Four Stages in Transformation of Consciousness FROM EGO TO HEART BY PAMELA KRIBBE

3 Transformation of Consciousness 1. The beginning of the end: Being unsatisfied by what ego based consciousness has to offer you; longing for something else: 2. The middle of the end: Becoming aware of your ties to ego based consciousness; recognizing and releasing the emotions and thoughts that go with it. 3. The end of the end: Letting the old ego based energies inside you die, throwing off the cocoon, becoming your new self. 4. New Beginning: The awakening of a heart based consciousness within you, motivated by love and freedom; helping others making the transition. Read more:

11 Imaginal Cells THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF HOW A CATERPILLAR CHANGES INTO A BUTTERFLY IT IS A STORY OF TRUE TRANSFORMATION

12 Imaginal Cells After a caterpillar buries itself inside its cocoon, it waits to morph into a butterfly. The caterpillar does not simply shrink a bit and sprout wings. Instead, it sort of disintegrates into a puddle of ooze within the cocoon. If we were to open the cocoon halfway through the process, we would not find a half-caterpillar half-butterfly type creature, but a blob of primordial goop. (Basically a mass of death and decay.) The goop is made up of a bunch of individual cells that are all basically the same type of oozy cells. They are not the original cells changing into these new cells, but rather they seem to come out of nowhere, popping up within the goop. These new cells are called imaginal cells, and they are so completely different from the original ooze cells that they are thought to be a virus or some other form of enemy so the ooze cells begin attacking the imaginal cells. However, even though the imaginal cells are being killed off for not fitting in, they still keep showing up, more and more of them. Eventually, the imaginal cells begin to find each other and cluster together. Like attracts like, and the clusters begin to join up with other clusters. The original cells still keep attacking them but the imaginal cells continue to multiply and cluster together. Eventually, they get to be a large enough community and they switch gears from simply being a group of like-minded cells into the programming cells. Some imaginal cells start changing into wing cells, some start changing into antenna cells, some start changing into digestive tract cells, and so on. The butterfly eventually emerges as a completely new entity from the original caterpillar. Do they hold the same memories, life lessons, and consciousness? Who knows? One would think that for survival of the species, the butterfly would still retain whatever knowledge the caterpillar had learned before entering into the cocoon state.

13 Imaginal Cells (cont d) If the imaginal cell is a quiet little thought somewhere in the back corner of your mind telling you that you could make huge changes in yourself to become less like the caterpillar and more like the butterfly, then know that you are not alone. Many people have done it before you and many more will follow your lead. You will know if you are meant to grow, morph, and change into some new and improved version of yourself by the reoccurring theme of those tiny little imaginal cells creating inspirational thoughts within your mind. The reoccurring thoughts will both haunt you and inspire you. They will cluster together creating themes of healing change, themes of growth, and themes of becoming something completely different then who you used to be. Fear not, for you are simply undergoing the butterfly s experience. You too will feel alone in the dark unsure of what is you and what is not you. You too will have to claim that which is beautiful within and you too will have to fight your own way out of your self-imposed prison to strengthen your wings so that you can fly for the entire world to see, inspiring others to look within at their own imaginal cells.
