The caterpillar must accept its own disappearance
from I am OPTimist · host Monika Bravo
TIME STAMPS:00:00 - 03:00: I reflect on how quickly time passes, share that I’ve sent mock-ups of my book to the printer with a release date approaching, discuss my writing process influenced by a personal journey of individuation, and mention my current focus on completing the book along with upcoming podcast appearances to promote it.03:00 - 06:00: I explore the impact of language and societal shifts on personal ideologies, the significance of astrological events, such as the Mars-Jupiter conjunction, and how they influence my creative and personal life.06:00 - 19:26: I reflect on the upcoming full moon, its astrological significance, and the importance of aligning personal energy with the collective. I also share insights on my creative work, inspirations, and end with a thought-provoking quote on metamorphosis. I recommend watching this documentary: I won’t go into detail now, as I’ve already written about how it impacted me in the book.

It is not a goal, not a concept. It is not something to be attained. It is a metamorphosis. If the caterpillar thinks about the butterfly it is to become, saying ‘And then I shall have wings and antennae,’ there will never be a butterfly. The caterpillar must accept its own disappearance in its transformation. When the marvelous butterfly takes wing, nothing of the caterpillar remains.” ― Alejandro Jodorowsky This is a public episode.
