The Metamorphosis of Spiritual Consciousness

by Martha MacFarland

The struggle of life is illusory

We engage in our inner resistance

Eating, desiring, spinning around on leaves

But we are tired of our bodies

Our slow existence near the ground

So we build a silky cocoon into a shiny chrysalis

A protective casing filtering our view of life

Within the solitude of meditation

We search for peace and joy

We rise above duality in the power of the present moment

Realizing our higher consciousness is our true identity

A caterpillar in a cocoon

We are ready to transform

To dissolve the enzymes of suffering

That we have built for centuries

We are ready to break from the illusion of density

By opening our third eye to the energy of God

To master our egoic constraints

By letting go of them

Until we see the light transform our bodies

Transmute our karma

And freedom comes when we realize

We are aligned with our Higher Self in God

That we can flow with the current of nonresistance

As we master the duality within

Our egoic self

We begin to recognize the spiral of energy within

And clear the past blockages

Listening to our intuitive Self

Whispering to our soul

Reinforcing the truth we know in our heart

Of who we really are:

A divine manifestation of God

We come to realize that the world is

A matrix of mass consciousness

And we are merely players

Watching shadows on the wall of a cave

But one day we notice a spark of light from within

And we fan the flame inside and begin to see it transmute our suffering

And when we have let enough light in

Our pupa self-destructs the egoic patterns

Disintegrating the conditioned beliefs we learned in duality

The masks we have learned to play in society

The judgments and expectations placed upon us

Melt the filters that blurred our vision of reality

Releasing the desires that have trapped us from evolving

The liquid light of God surrounds us in our surrendering

Penetrating our walls with sacred fire

Rays from the sun nourishing our spirit

Fueling rapid energy to course throughout our body

And in this energy, we awaken to pure bliss

Our wings form in our metamorphosis of spiritual consciousness

Like the butterfly, we witness and observe our evolution

With gratitude and awe

We accept our true identity

Ready to feed on the nectar of the spirit

Ready to pollinate and spread the seeds of Christ consciousness

As we take off into the sky

We free ourselves from past perspectives

With non-attachment

We leave the cocoon, the cave of the ego

To embrace the eternal Higher Self

To revel in the liberation of flight

And as we spread our wings, we disperse the light

Our Christ consciousness growing and transforming our bodies

Until we have done the service we were destined to do on this Earth

And we receive the call to come home

To transcend this Earthly plane into the Conscious Oneness of God
