“It’s a little more like the
image of a
Caterpillar—enclosing
itself
In a Cocoon in order to go through
the
Metamorphosis
To emerge as a Butterfly
The caterpiller doesn’t
say:
“well now. I’m going to
climb
into this cocoon and come
out
a butterfly.”
It’s just an inevitable
process
It’s Inevitable”

“We’re talking about a
metamorphosis
we’re talking about
going from a caterpillar to
butterfly
we’re talking about
how to become a butterfly.
I mean: the caterpillar isn’t walking
around
Saying: man I’ll soon be a
butterfly
Because: as long as he’s
busy
Being a caterpillar
He can’t be a butterfly.
It’s only when caterpillarness is
done
That one starts to be a
butterfly

“and that again is part of this
paradox
you cannot rip away
caterpillarness
the whole trip occurs in an unfolding
process
under which you have no
control”

“If you could stand back far enough
and
watch the whole process you would
see
You Are A Totally
Determined Being
The very moment you will wake
up
Is Totally Determined
How long you will sleep
Is Totally Determined
What you will hear of what I
say
Is Totally Determined
There are no accidents in this
business
at all. Accidents are just from
where
you’re looking. To the ego, it looks
like
it’s miracles and
accidents.
No”
