"In  Memory of Hazel Koals"

Once upon a time there was a Butterfly Gardener named Alpha with a wife named Omega.

They found a fertile field and called it Earth,  filling it with caterpillar larvae. As the larvae multiplied and spread over the earth and grew,  they formed little caterpillar cities and villages,  towns and metropoli covering the earth, a whole caterpillar civilization with caterpillar rules,
caterpillar values and caterpillar laws.

One day the first caterpillar on earth went into his cocoon, and came out as a beautiful shimmering Monarch butterfly.   The caterpillars gathered around and did not know what kind of creature he was.

"I AM a Butterfly!"  he said,  "Know ye not that ye are Butterflies?"

"For now you identify with your body terrestrial,  your caterpillar body,  but soon you will awaken from the darkness of your cocoons and discover that you are beautiful butterflies with bodies light as gossamer,  free to fly through the universe!"

"What I AM,  you shall be also!!  Your true nature is as a Butterfly, not as the caterpillar self you identify with, sloshing around in the mud.  You are truly your Higher Butterfly Self.  I know this is hard for you to believe,  but you must have faith in the Truth of your being.  You are a Glorious
gossamer shimmering butterfly of light!"

Some caterpillars rallied around this new messenger "of the gods",  but others felt totally threatened by this Butterfly Presence in their midst.

"Not only are you Butterflies"  he taught,  "But you are beautiful butterflies of all the rainbow rays;  some are blue butterflies of leadership and power; some are pink butterflies of love and the arts; some are yellow butterflies of wisdom; some are white butterflies of purity and harmony; some
are green butterflies of science and healing; some are ruby butterflies of service and self-sacrifice; some are violet butterflies of ritual and freedom.  All of you have great Butterfly contributions to make to the universe, if you'll only go into your cocoons and pray for divine direction and get in touch with your true inner Butterfly nature."

The caterpillars who refused to believe the Butterfly shouted "Crucify Him!"  Others felt that he would make a good political leader to overthrow the whole caterpillar civilization that enslaved them so they waited for him to lead armies. Others believed that he was a great example of their true Butterfly Nature that would soon be born within them, so they worshipped him.

And many rallied around this Butterfly to learn Butterfly secrets and transform their caterpillar lives into Butterfly lives.  Together they dreamed of a new world, a Golden Age Butterfly Civilization ,  which would follow Butterfly rules instead of Caterpillar rules.

The New Millenium came,  2000 years after the birth of the first Butterfly they'd seen, and one by one, hundreds had become the shining glory of their Butterfly natures,  teaching and demonstrating by example the joys of Butterflyness.

After 2000 years,  many caterpillars began to believe their Butterfly teachers and realize that their inherent nature was to become Butterflies,  and their purpose on earth was not to merely abide by caterpillar civilization's rules, regulations and laws.  Their purpose on earth was to demonstrate Butterfly principles and make the Butterfly Golden Age Civilization come to life on Earth.

The blue Butterfly Caterpillars began to lead,  the Pink ones to write stories and draw pictures, the green ones to heal,  the yellow ones to teach, the white ones to fast and pray for World Peace,  a World Peace based on a New Butterfly Rainbow Millenium,  not on old outdated caterpillar rules.  The ruby Butterfly caterpillars served  others and the violet butterfly caterpillars started new rituals, organizations that reflected the new freedom to become Butterflies as they believed was their True Destiny.

It became a major revolution on the planet.   Did you believe you were to
become a Butterfly, your inherent nature?  Or did you believe you would
forever be a caterpillar and that the caterpillar civilization was the only
correct type of world civilization?

Some believed that there was only one Butterfly and He would return one day, but that was all that would happen.  Others had different names for their Butterfly diety.  But some recognized the truth that all previous Butterflies had been demonstrating on earth - the essence of their "Butterflyness"-- the fact that all caterpillars were equal, and that all caterpillars could and would one day become glorious butterflies,  more celestial than they could possibly imagine.

It was a revolution between powers and principalities and it was fought on the plains of Armageddon in the hearts and minds of every caterpillar on earth.

"To be, or not to be a Butterfly  that was the question."

Some caterpillars felt hopeless,  they were too ugly and crippled and bad-tempered and selfish and did not deserve to become butterflies.  But the Great Butterfly had said once "The meek shall inherit the earth" and "Ye are the salt of the earth", so He had infinite patience and hope for all butterflies to rise up to manifest the glory of their inherent natures.

Mother Teresa Butterfly came to Earth and proclaimed she saw the Butterfly in each and every caterpillar, no matter how debased or deformed, no matter how poor and ragged.  She saw the butterfly larvaes being aborted, and thus the loss of millions of future unborn Butterflies as the worst holocaust the planet had ever known.  For within each of these future butterflies lay genius and talents unharvested,  which would have flourished and blessed every other Butterfly in the New Butterfly Rainbow Millenium to come.

The revolution is here and now.  It is spreading as a great wave of Peace, a great OM swelling up from the masses of butterflies who are awakening to their butterfly nature and crying out for the safety of the biosphere where all have been placed to self-actualize and reach their Butterfly potentials.

It is time for caterpillars to stop killing one another and live in Peace on earth,  that the blossoming of each one's Butterfly nature might manifest as the Great Butterfly Rainbow Millenium of World Peace for the next 2000 years!!!
