Birds, in Parable of the Stars, is the ultimate theory of evolution that goes all the way back to the beginning of time, and the story of creation, as it speaks of the fallen. In this book, the Angels that fell came down to earth to inhabit the bodies as spirits, souls as the light of the world, children of the light. During the course of time, in the expression of duality, that is of union with the darkness, flesh by which the lights inhabited became like a prison, a bounded reality. The Birds, as fallen angels, forgot how to fly as they became subjective to the flesh and slaves of the earth. Birds lost their feathers and became bats. Bats lost their wings and became rats. The rat race evolved and took over the earth in multiplicity, taking dominance over various regions, which environmentally affected their changes habitually in the progression of the overall evolution of the species. The mammalian species became the new breed, and out of this race, as the story tells, the cat evolved as the Great Kings of the Earth, because somehow, they understood what it meant to fly. They learned the secret of never falling, learning to land on their feet, instead of face down in the ashes.
Bees, in Parable of the Stars, are relevant within this theory of social evolution, as the bees are seen as the optimum functioning principle of society by which all other societies ought to aspire toward. The epitome of social function and productivity, the bees are workers, gatherers, hunters, and servers of the purpose of their realm. Each member of their team works within individual sectors, and members of each sector work individually and together to play their part in the rolling scheme toward progress, and in pursuit of the greater whole. The bees represent the universal truth for the light of the world in the concept of one. They serve a distinct purpose of relevance not only within their own worlds, but as a highly valued aspect of all other relative social aspects.
Butterflies, in Parable of the Stars, represent the epitome of evolution and everything that one aspires to become within the full expanded capacity of his spiritual emancipation, the revelation of freedom and the embodiment of enlightenment. The Butterfly journeys an entire lifetime before ending that period of time spent as a caterpillar and going forth into a sort of death. The cocoon becomes a founded grave by which it is transformed in reincarnation to become the epitome of beauty and grace and all things that are sought after in this world of truth. For, this notion suggests that our optimum quest in life has always been in favor of this supreme ideal of spiritual oneness and absolute perfection in freedom.
