Why butterflies appear as messages: the world as a moving painting
Last Saturday, my Intuition to Vision class focused on Dealing with People and Spirits in your environment. At the very end, after I finished going over the topics, I opened up for questions, and something really wonderful came out of that conversation.
Why do butterflies appear when we are thinking of people from the other side?
At the end of the module, Alison, in England, one of the students, asked a question about the phenomena of butterflies.
She mentioned that a butterfly had landed on someone’s lap during a ceremony for a friend who had passed away. The gist of her question was, why do butterflies appear on these moments when we are thinking of people from the other side?
We got into more details and I explained my own experience with birds one time and how they appeared when I was going through something difficult.
I asked the question, why do the butterflies appear, and why is it that we can pick up on them being ‘signs’ or messages?
Alison’s question re: Butterflies
The concept of Directional Intention
The answer was (on the video above)… it’s because of ‘directional intention’…
…Imagine if God is a conductor of the universe, so everything if you look at from that perspective, everything, is a note.
… when you think of something and put intention onto it, the universe acts like a moving painting.
It’s called directional intention.
It’s as if life or the universe is like a moving painting that you can direct with your intentional thoughts…
Garland’s Caterpillar in California
In another incredible coincidence, as I we were discussing butterflies, another student, Nicole, near Seattle, Washington, also reported seeing a butterfly on that moment.
Garland, in California, also in the class, saw a caterpillar for a type of butterfly she had been looking for, for ages.
The tiny, city-dwelling butterfly I saw on West 9th Street, NYC, right after the class ended.
In NYC, on that day, when the class ended, I left my apartment to stop by my mother’s so I could borrow a drill from my stepdad.
On my way there, on the tiny garden in front of a building a few doors down, I look left and… I also saw a butterfly. I felt that this was a confirmation of the phenomena we had just discussed during class.
Directional Intention and Visualization
Then Cindy, another participant, asked a question connected to visualization. The answer was also very interesting.
It explained that we have to see life as this moving painting that we can re-organize with child-like wonder, as a moving world we truly inhabit.
It’s related to Einstein’s theory of relativity: where phenomena happens to the degree that we observe it and that as observers, our perception affects the phenomena itself. And that observation, if we translate it as directional intention, can act as a decisive attractor of visual/experiential elements from the moving universe that our singular life.
When we stand in the position of a child-like observer, devoid of anxiety or desperation, magic happens. Easier said than done, but worth trying nonetheless.
