I’ve been learning (as a human)/remembering (as soul/Spirit within) that everything in our outer world helps us to know more about ALL aspects of our inner world, if we’re willing to take a brief moment to notice even the seemingly small things in Life that carry much symbolism.

Recently, while in my bathroom, I heard a loud and sudden click sound that startled me. As I approached the source of this mysterious and unique sound, I noticed what appeared to be a long, skinny, black earwig.
However, as it more than likely sensed my presence, it hauled ass to the back of the toilet area while jumping a few inches or more in-between and making those clicking sounds.
Again, this started me the second time (stemming from fear of the unknown) because I wasn’t expecting what I thought was an earwig to jump so high (like a cricket).
I did a couple of searches, and it could of been a Jumping Bristletail (which I’ve never heard of before), that can also be found in caves (I trust is keyword), among other places. Update (7/7/2016): I heard and then saw another one today that appeared shorter in length, looked it up, and found out that it’s a click beetle.
Although I don’t like to be around unknown bugs that are capable of rapid, unpredictable movement, I had a strange urge to briefly observe this new creature that showed up in my outer reality in Divine perfect timing and order.
As I followed my Heart’s inner-guidance, I stood in front of the toilet area while watching the bug do its thing. Interestingly, it appeared to be frantically racing along the wall right behind the toilet—back and forth, back and forth while jumping every now and then.
At first, I wondered why it stopped at the half-way point, rather than running the full-length of the wall. I then chose to trust that this was due to wanting to be effortlessly observed by its observer by being within line of sight.
At one point, the tiny being seemed as though it was jumping into the wall in panic mode. At this moment, I instantly received insights from within.
This tiny, black being (symbolic of the often invisible, unknown/shadow self) was making great efforts (symbolized by running) to jump (symbolic of leap in consciousness) into a space of freedom and unlimited potential experiences (its natural environment) while lost (symbolic of individual consciousness) along the straight wall (symbolic of 3D, linear perspective); however, the solid wall (symbolic of self-imposed, limiting beliefs) kept blocking it.

I’ve had no problems with gently scooping up certain bugs and insects like rollie pollies, beetles, a wasp (placing a cup over it), earwig, etc. in order to set them free outside, but not with fast-moving and jumping ones.
However, I grabbed a cup and piece of paper, and managed to get the bug inside of it. I then took it outside of our lanai and set it free.
It rushed in-between the cold metal, gray bars—which reminded me of it/me leaving the so-called prison—and out into the outside world filled with a bright blue sky, shimmering sun, swaying leaves from young and old trees, pebbles and rocks, dirt, vibrant green grass, chirping birds, and much more.
I imagined the tiny one shouting, “FREEDOM!!!” as it scurried away into the light.

I realize that it could have easily been captured soon after I set it free, and then eaten by any number of predators out in the ginormous world of seemingly endless probabilities.
However, in my opinion, better to briefly, yet, fully, boldly and truly LIVE with pure freedom, than merely survive longer and safer within a small, limited, boxed area.

I trust that this very brief, yet, refreshing moment was a preview, on a micro scale, of what I will soon be experiencing on a macro scale—a leap in consciousness (through the power of Unconditional Love)—that will allow me to effortlessly Be full-potential, free self/Self at every moment of NOW (where past, present, and future exist simultaneously from a multidimensional perspective due space and time not being limitations).

I mentioned above that this type of bug is also found in caves, and I trust this to be symbolic.
Well, I’m reminded of a reading I came upon a while back (though the name escapes me), where I briefly read about the cave being symbolic of the cosmic womb of the Great Mother Goddess within, where unlimited potential can be birthed from it. Note: After finishing the written portion of this post, and while searching for matching images to complete it, I recalled a post I had published a while back titled, “The Elusive Space Within the Opening of the Cave” which includes the name of the reading in above paragraph and the image right below
If I recall correctly, I was reading about the mystical meaning of caves at the time because I often saw what appeared to be my awareness being inside of the outer lining of a cave entrance whenever I meditated with my eyes closed.
I found it intriguing that sometimes, I was able to get closer to the cave entrance/exit with my intention, but when fear set in—due to seeing (with third eye) some shadowy silhouette swiftly go by or slowly move around—my perspective would immediately get further from it.

I had strongly sensed that it would highly benefit my spiritual growth by facing all of my deep fears—to include the mysterious, shadowy figures (aspects of shadow self)—and moving beyond the entrance/exit point of this inner cave.
During meditation, I then started silently (telepathically) welcoming my shadow selves to come out from hiding—with a desire to embrace the unknown—which started transmuting the fear (within) with each encounter.
This unique bug encounter is an example of an outer experience opportunity to transmute, yet, another fear of the unknown.
It also reminds me that whenever I receive assistance with my evolutionary journey on Earth from all aspects and extensions of self/Self (soul/Spirit within), the higher versions of self (aka higher selves) are like the human version of me giving the bug a helping hand—since I was able see above the “dark valley” for it the way a hawk does, or the way Spirit within is always able to see the much bigger picture from a multidimensional perspective.

In addition, the assistance in spiritual evolution goes both ways. Just as we, as humans, also contribute to our higher selves in their spiritual evolution by sharing our own invaluable experiences and wisdom, the bug also assisted me in expanding my own consciousness by its pure existence/presence and experience in physical reality.
So this reminds me that we are all student and teacher to one another, even though (at a brief glance), this golden opportunity can be missed when too easily dismissed as meaningless.

Thank you all aspects and extensions of Multidimensional Self/Beloved I (God) AM (Goddess) Presence/Christ within—to include soul (ego self, “dark”/”unknown”/shadow self/ free-spirited inner-child)—I unconditionally accept/love you from the deepest level of my being.
