Relate to the butterfly?

The great Taoist master Chuang Tzu once dreamt that he was a butterfly fluttering here and there. In the dream he had no awareness of his individuality as a person. He was only a butterfly.

Suddenly, he awoke and found himself laying there, a person once again.

But then he thought to himself, "Was I before a man who dreamt about being a butterfly, or am I now a butterfly who dreams about being a man?"

Silvia, to trust in love and the flow of things, is to nurture courage and faith which accompanies you throughout every journey. Transformation is perpetual and enriching.

Bern, every human being is in charge of how to perceive and experience every moment. As a person reaches a clear mental place of no expectations, and allows energy to flow, the sensation of being offers timeless experiences that can sometimes defy words. Even to be everywhere and nowhere is possible, if you so choose. Its your path.

At some stage, every human being imagines he is a man dreaming he is a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming its a man. Part of you briefly distinguishes between man and butterfly. Yet, behind it all is transition, or transformation of material things. You remember the feeling of oneness.
