 Change is a process: “The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking”.

The Chrysalis

In the quiet darkness of transformation, there lies a profound beauty—a sacred space between what was and what will be. The chrysalis is not just a biological marvel, but a powerful metaphor for the human experience of growth, change, rebirth, a journey of becoming....

Imagine the caterpillar, content in its familiar crawling existence, suddenly compelled by an internal whisper to surrender everything it has known. It doesn't resist. Instead, it creates a protective cocoon, a temporary home where dissolution becomes potential. Inside this fragile chamber, the creature literally breaks down, becoming a kind of cellular soup—a messy, undefined state that looks like complete destruction.

But this is not an ending. This is alchemy.

In this vulnerable space, something miraculous occurs. The old form doesn't just die; it transforms. Cells reorganize, dreams reconfigure, and potential takes shape. The caterpillar doesn't try to look like a butterfly while in the chrysalis. It simply has faith in the process.

We are not so different. Our most profound transformations often look like chaos. They feel uncomfortable. We may feel stripped down, undefined, lost. The spaces between our old identity and our emerging self can feel disorienting—a goopy, formless interim where nothing makes sense.

But this is where magic breathes.

This is where we are being reimagined. Where our limitations are gently dissolved, and our truest potential begins to take wing. The chrysalis teaches us that transformation is not always clean or comfortable. It requires trust. It demands that we release our grip on what we've been, without yet seeing what we will become.

Your current unfolding might feel messy. Uncertain. Scary, even. But what if—just what if—you are exactly where you need to be? What if this very moment of seeming formlessness is preparing you for flight?

Breathe. Trust the process. Your wings are forming.

rediscovering what we
were born with....

​​As children, we inherently know this. We move through the world with curiosity, spontaneity, and an unfiltered sense of self. We cry when we're sad, laugh without reservation, and explore without fear of judgment. Our authentic core is luminous and unobstructed.

Yet, as we grow, layers begin to accumulate. Societal norms, family expectations, personal traumas, and cultural conditioning slowly overlay our original blueprint. These layers are not inherently negative—they are experiences that shape us—but they can obscure our fundamental essence.

The journey of personal growth is essentially an excavation. It's about gently peeling back these layers, not to discard them, but to understand them. Each layer tells a story of survival, adaptation, and resilience. By examining these layers with compassion, we begin to distinguish between what truly belongs to us and what we've unconsciously absorbed.

Self-understanding is not about achieving perfection, but about reconnecting with the perfection that was always present. It's recognizing that our worth is not something to be earned, but something to be remembered. Our struggles, vulnerabilities, and imperfections are not flaws, but beautiful expressions of our humanity.

The practice of uncovering our authentic self requires: self-acceptance, Gentle curiosity about our inner landscape, Willingness to question inherited narratives, Compassionate, self-reflection and so many more rewarding explorations as we dive deeper into the revealing of who we are.

Each moment of awareness is a homecoming. We are not becoming perfect; we are remembering our inherent perfection. We are not fixing ourselves; we are releasing the barriers that prevent us from seeing what God truly created when we opened our eyes for the first time.

In this journey, we learn that growth is not linear. It's a spiraling dance of discovery, where each turn reveals a little more of our essential self. The goal is not to reach a destination, but to embrace the unfolding—to live with increasing authenticity, courage, and self-love.

You were born complete. And now, you are simply remembering.

From the moment we draw our first breath, we are complete. Not in the sense of being fully formed or experienced, but in the sense of being fundamentally whole and worthy. Our essence arrives unburdened by societal expectations, self-doubt, or learned limitations.

memory lane......

Taking a stroll down Memory Lane...

We all have done this.

Isn't it fascinating how our memories can feel so different from one moment to the next? 

The same childhood moment that once brought tears might now bring laughter, or vice versa. It's not the memory that changes – it's our thinking in the moment.

Sydney Banks showed us something profound: Our entire experience of the past is created through Thought in this present moment. Mind brings these memories to life, and Consciousness lets us experience them anew each time.

Sometimes we see our past through dark glasses, and sometimes through rose-tinted ones. But here's the beautiful thing – neither view is fixed. When we understand that our experience of memories is always coming from our present thinking, it frees us from being bound by the past.

Next time you're revisiting old memories, notice how your experience shifts with your state of mind. There's something magical about realizing we're always living in the feeling of our thinking, even when we're thinking about the past.

What memories look different to you now compared to how they once did?

Thoughts

"Rather than being your thoughts and emotions, be the awareness behind them." - Eckhart Tolle

 

Taking a moment today to remember that we aren't our racing thoughts or overwhelming emotions. Just like clouds passing through the sky, our thoughts come and go – but we are the vast, unchanging sky behind them.

Next time you feel caught up in a storm of worries or feelings, try taking a step back. Notice your thoughts without getting tangled in them. Watch them float by like leaves on a stream. You'll find there's a calm, steady presence – that's the real you, quietly watching it all unfold.

This simple shift in perspective has been life-changing for me. What helps you find peace when your mind gets noisy?
