More From Ernest Hemingway

The apocalypse is now! americans know this, that the only hope is the flying saucers. do you know how i see the world? like a person who is dying. it's a worm who is dying to make a butterfly. we must not stop the worm from dying, we must help the worm to die to help the butterfly to be born. we need to dance with death. this world is dying, but very well. we will make a big, big enormous butterfly. you and i will be the first movements in the wings of the butterfly because we are speaking like this.

I cannot define for you what god is. i can only say that my work has proved empirically that the pattern of god exists in every man and that this pattern has at its disposal the greatest of all his energies for transformation and transfiguration of his natural being. not only the meaning of his life but his renewal and his institutions depend on his conscious relationship with this pattern of his collective unconscious.

Time is a lot of the things people say that god is. there's always preexisting, and having no end. there's the notion of being all powerful-because nothing can stand against time, can it? not mountains, not armies. and time is, of course, all-healing. give anything enough time, and everything is taken care of: all pain encompassed, all hardship erased, all loss subsumed. ashes to ashes, dust to dust. remember, man, that thou art dust; and unto dust thou shalt return. and if time is anything akin to god, i suppose that memory must be the devil.

As those who have seen jurassic park will know, this means a tiny disturbance in one place, can cause a major change in another. a butterfly flapping its wings can cause rain in central park, new york. the trouble is, it is not repeatable. the next time the butterfly flaps its wings, a host of other things will be different, which will also influence the weather. that is why weather forecasts are so unreliable.

Awakening is not a thing. it is not a goal, not a concept. it is not something to be attained. it is a metamorphosis. if the caterpillar thinks about the butterfly it is to become, saying ‘and then i shall have wings and antennae,’ there will never be a butterfly. the caterpillar must accept its own disappearance in its transformation. when the marvelous butterfly takes wing, nothing of the caterpillar remains.
