It happens in a flash! After prolonged periods of dull suffering, transformation strikes you like a bolt of lightening. You put in countless hours, doing things that seem to have absolutely no effect and then, seemingly out of nowhere, you experience a breakthrough. Call it a paradigm shift. I am reminded of the ori of Caterpillars, which requires that it encase itself in a cocoon. Once inside, Caterpillar basically decomposes into a kind of liquid and then reconstitutes itself. When it emerges, Caterpillar now has wings and brilliant colors. After a period of prolonged darkness, complete dissolution and containment, Caterpillar transforms himself into a butterfly! And so, the elders will sometimes say, "Tinotino tehintehin ni labalaba ifi iyin Olorun," which means, By its beauty, the butterfly praises God within and without (i.e., in all its parts)." The activating agent of personal transformation is personal sacrifice. They say that the soul rejoices for what the body has lost. In order to become a butterfly, you must surrender what it means to be a caterpillar. Live the Medicine.
