The Butterfly Project

         Butterflies symbolize different things to different cultures. In Early Christianity[1], the butterfly was a symbol of the soul. Commonly, the Butterfly symbolizes change and transformation; this ensues when an ordinary caterpillar metamorphose into a beautiful butterfly. 

When we strive to become moral individuals – the so called inner-transformation – something similar to the Butterfly’s life cycle happens. We metamorphose the old Self into a new Self, changing deep-rooted and unhealthy habits into new, healthy ones.
It is a continuous, gradual process that requires individual discipline and determination. A process wherein one’s Thought aligned with Will propels them towards their moral and intellectual progress[2].
          Looking for materials and tools to help us on this journey; challenging our ways of thinking, learning to create new habits and behavior - the Butterfly Project proposes the study, reflection and practical application of the study matter;
Let’s get inspired to work on our inner-transformation, to make every effort to become a better person, and to understand our role and duties in life.
Let’s put our moral transformation in a project mode!
