Metamorphisis Two - The Caterpillars' Journey Continued

There are more photos posted on my Surroundings blog of the continuing transformation of the two caterpillars I've been raising. http://surroundingsofexistence.blogspot.com


This transformation is very symbolic of the spiritual metamorphosis that takes place as we progress towards enlightenment.


The other day, my Teacher used a word to describe what happens when the transformation is complete, and it is a word I had never heard before: "Imago". Interestingly, today I was reading about caterpillars and butterflies when I came across the word in a diagram, seen below.
