Evolution and inner transformation - from chrysalis to butterfly  By Kevin Leivers

In the laws of science and quantum physics everything that exists in the universe is energy, intimately vibrating and interacting. In this world there is no separation, and so when Deepak Chopra MD talks about the natural world as an extension of all living beings, such statements as, ‘the trees are an extension of our own lungs’, make perfect sense.

If we all recognise this reality in our hearts, then how could we destroy rainforests without feeling that it is our lungs that we are affecting? Quantum theory supports the idea, that when we act without reverence in the outer world the inner self is affected. Conversely, positive transformation of our inner selves will have major positive benefits in the outer world.  

In his book ‘The Book of Secrets’ Deepak captures the essence of this in the transformation of the chrysalis to the butterfly. Under the microscope one can see the cells of the chrysalis as a mass of grey cells which he calls a grey quantum soup. Suddenly as the chrysalis transforms itself, tiny specs of bright new cells appear like islands swimming in the grey mass of un-diffuse cells. These islands grow and multiply, feeding of the grey quantum soup until the bright new cells reach a critical mass. At this point the transformation is instant, the grey mass of cells become the butterfly. From greyness to light in one magical and irreversible quantum leap.

This is a transformation that we and the world around us are making every moment, waiting for the time when we reach the critical mass of transformation. This whole story becomes even more profound when you consider that science has shown that the DNA found in the butterfly is the same as that found in the cells of the human heart. In this story maybe the natural world is whispering to us that the essence of true transformation of the world will stem from the time when the human heart learns to fly.
