If you do not understand racism (white supremacy) and how it works, everything else you understand will only confuse you. - Neely Fuller

We need something to clarify everything for us, because we get confused...but if we use the concept of Asili, we will understand that whatever it is they are doing, whatever terms they use, however they come at you, you need to be thinking about what? How is this going to facilitate their power and help them to dominate me? -Marimba Ani

Redefining Cocoons, Wombs & Tombs
Unity Consciousness #123

.

A cocoon is where transformation and change take place. Whatever contains something else is a cocoon.

Cocoons Within Cocoons

The universe is a cocoon for creation. The galaxy is a cocoon for Earth. Universe, galaxy and Earth are cocoons for spirit. So are plant and animal bodies within Earth. Cells are cocoons as well as brains. Atoms and nuclei are cocoons. Water, air and sun are cocoons. Families, villages and relationships of all types are cocoons. Wherever learning takes place is a cocoon. Contexts such as worldview, definitions and culture are cocoons. Beliefs, understanding and emotions are cocoons. Every stage of life is a cocoon. Every moment is a cocoon.

Womb And Tomb

A cocoon is where change takes place, which is what also happens in a womb and in a tomb.

A cocoon is a tomb to that which has been and a womb to that which will be. The process of metamorphosis not only changes the contents inside the cocoon but the process also changes the cocoon itself to allow it to simultaneously function as two things – tomb/womb.

Tomb and womb are one and the same because each one is both the end/beginning of another process of metamorphosis. The tomb is the end of one life and the beginning of another. The womb is the beginning of one life and the end of another. This makes tombs, wombs and cocoons the same thing.
