Metamorphosis: The Caterpillar’s Origin

Jan 7, 2026    Stanton Petersen

Have you ever wondered why it’s so much easier to be selfish than it is to be selfless? Why we don’t have to teach a toddler how to say "mine," but we have to spend years teaching them how to share? It’s because the "caterpillar life" isn't just something we learn from watching others; it’s something we’re born into. We aren't just caterpillars because of the leaves we eat; we’re caterpillars because of where we came from. Today, we’re looking at our spiritual "birthmark" and why the old life is so hard to shake on our own.
