A few days ago, I was supervising some of Diego's preschoolers as they were eating breakfast, and a girl said, "Teacher, can I ask you a question?"
"Sure. What's your question?"
"Can you metamorphosize?"
"Can I what?"
"Transform into a butterfly!"
"Nope, sorry. Only caterpillars can do that."
A chorus of voices begged to differ: "You can! You can! Just be patient!"
They were reciting lines from a children's book called The Very Impatient Caterpillar by Ross Burach, which they've had read to them so many times they've practically memorized the whole thing, and applying them to me was just a random bit of silliness. Synchy silliness, though.
When I brought up Blogger to post this, I found a new comment drawing my attention back to "those orange and blue butterfly syncs from December."

William,
I think your student just proved my point.
Recall my many comments as to what I believe
what's happening to you ,which I believe,
is a very meaningful transformation in your life.
We all have those milestones, no?
Recall my comments about why
I believe you're stuck in the shadow/darkness/ nigredo.
Also please do read my recent comment
on your Don't be fooled by the Fake Yellow Flowers.
I think my comment about my perspective
and person connection
Rod Serling's Twilight Zone episode;
The Jungle may have connection to this recent post.
Another thought about dandelions and being afraid of
of yellow flowers may this:
A dandelion is a VERY strong visual as to transformation.
The tooth of the lion is in a state of motion when
chewing food for nourishment.
Food for thought?
The tooth also helps us humans to 'speak'.
Perhaps that's why in your Yellow Flowers post you
are afraid of the yellow flower?
We all are afraid of change.

I apologize for the many errors in my comment
but hopefully you get my point.
I read you post again and this is interesting:
You wrote:
"Can you metamorphosize?"
"Can I what?"
"Transform into a butterfly!"
"****Nope, sorry. Only caterpillars**** can do that.
Copy and paste:
The etymology of "caterpillar" comes from
the Old North French word "caterpilose", meaning "shaggy cat".
This term is a combination of two Latin words:
"catta" (meaning "cat") and "pilosa" (meaning "hairy").
The word "caterpillar" was likely first recorded
in English in 1440 as "catyrpel".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Isn't that interesting with your 144 sync and 'cat' which
of course a big cat is a Lion.
Also in the Twilight Zone episode and at the end
of the episode, you'll note that the Lion is
absolutely NOT lazy ;-)))
With all of these syncs I think your soul
is trying to get your attention.
Listen and be patient.
William,
And yet another sync just happened !!
After I sent my 2 comments to be posted earlier today
( May 16 ), Marshall and I had errands to do.
When we arrived home, I got back on the computer
and this video popped up in my YouTube feed. ( see link)
Me being an animal lover, videos about
animal companions are not unusual
in my YouTube feed so not a big deal.
However when I viewed the video
the story of a ginger/orange, long hair tabby
cat got my attention especially the golden
lion connection.
Interestingly in the story, the ginger escaped from the clinic
where he had been neutered. He 'ran against the wind'
back home, some three miles away.
What's even more interesting is the ginger's name
is George!!
And last but not least, look in the lower left
hand corner of the video which shows the time of the News
Report being aired. At the end of the video you'll
note that the ending time is 11:11.
Also I forgot to mention about the Twilight Zone's episode:
The Jungle. In the summary video note that
Alan ( the protagonist) leaves his lion tooth amulet
( which was planted in his pocket by his superstitious
wife to protect Alan ) on the bar counter.
Yet another dent-de-lion sync, no?
'Dem sync fairies be real busy.

Good catch with the caterpillar-lion connection, Debbie!
In the story, the impatient caterpillar keeps asking what he needs to do, and the other caterpillars tell him, "Just be patient and let nature take its course" -- what would look superficially like "being lazy."
The question of whether a person can metamorphosize brought me to Kafka's Metamorphosis.
In that story, a man named Gregor metamorphosizes into a giant insect, or in the German word, "monstrous vermin".
It is interesting to see Gregor show up here as the name of the metamorphosized character, as that name has directly come up in other links that have been associated with Pharazon, at least guessed at as possibilities. Grigorievna, the vulture, from your dream, and Gregor from The School for Good and Evil, who actually also metamorphosized from Prince Charming's son into that huge Stymph bird.
You associated the name Gregor/Grigorievna with The Watchers, Fallen Angels from the Book of Enoch who, along with the Nephilim, brought about the conditions for The Flood, a potentially garbled tie to the Numenoreans, who were thought of as both Angels/ Gods and Giants by the people of Middle-earth.
Anyway, mention of a human who metamorphosized into a bug brought me back to Men in Black. I had just mentioned Westley in other comments, known as the Man in Black from The Princess Bride, and awhile ago I had made the connection between that title and the Men in Black movie starring Will Smith.
In that movie, oddly, we also have an example of a "human" metamorphosizing into a bug, like Gregor. An alien Being simply known as The Bug literally dons the skins of a farmer named Edgar, and wears it for most of the movie as a disguise. In the end, he transforms by breaking out of his human skin and revealing himself as The Bug, a giant cockroach.
The final scenes involve the Bug trying to scale a tower, board ship, and ascend into space, which the Men in Black needed to stop him from doing.
I didn't know that cockroach is a word based on caterpillar (I guess from cucu, "kind of caterpillar"). In turn, caterpillar seems to have been associated with the word Piller, meaning "Plunderer, Ravager". Caterpillar used to be spelled and pronounced differently but was modified due to association with Piller. Caterpillars are known by farmers and gardeners to destroy their crops, and are used in the Bible in that way.
Lastly, the mention of a hairy cat and a caterpillar reminded me of Dr. Evil's cat, Mr. Bigglesworth. He also metamorphosized, transforming from a hairy cat to a bald, Sphynxy one. Etymonline oddly calls out that the Swiss German name for caterpillar means "Devil's Cat".
Potentially noteworthy from Men in Black, The Bug also abducts a woman at the end. Her name is Dr. Laurel Weaver, an interesting connection for me with another character's name (Sonny Weaver from Draft Day), and who is played by the actress Linda Florentino, a name which means "Beautiful Flower", a potential connection to the other abducted flower Buttercup, who hailed from Florin.
As the Bug is abducting her and indicates he will eat her (like Pharazon eating those Yellow Flowers?) Weaver replies "You don't want to eat me. I'm a very important person on my plant. Like a queen. A Goddess even."
Too funny.
Apparently, she also went by Elle, or L, for short, meaning Light. Just like Eleanor.
Yeah, nothing says “monstrous vermin” like a butterfly.
By the way, when I searched for the caterpillar book to get the author’s name, the first result said the book “will delight fans of Mo Willems’s ‘Pigeon’ series.”
Apparently unbeknownst to you (and to me until this morning), a Butterfly is a word that many years ago was also applied to people.
Per Etymonline for Butterfly:
"Applied to persons from c. 1600, originally in reference to vain and gaudy attire:"
You can look it up. So people can transform into butterflies, is the answer to your class and syncs, they just need to wear the right clothing, something Pharazon was specifically noted as doing. From Faithful:
"In gold finery he covered his nakedness, gilded in sunlight so none could withstand him at mid-day, and girded in true-silver of Mithril, an emblem it was said of the portended Noble."
The belt itself was inscribed with "Chosen One", referring to its wearer. Doesn't get much more vain and gaudy than that, I don't think.
So, yes, I think Butterfly can and does fit quite well, and it seems that Pharazon could have his picture next to that definition as a poster child of sorts.
The guess/old wives tale on how butterflies got their name is actually pretty interesting and relevant, too, I think.
That is pretty funny on the reference to the Pigeon series.
William,
You wrote: "Just be patient and let nature take its course"
-- what would look superficially like "being lazy."
~~~~~~
You made my point. Patience is a virtue. Laziness
is not.
Most of my puzzle pieces ( aka dots) I've had since I was
10 years old and even in 2025, I'm just now beginning
to understand the message of what each individual
puzzle piece means and how it connects with,
and to, the big picture.
If that's not patience, I don't know what is :-))
I'm sure you're familiar with the idiom "School of Hard Knocks"
which refers to : learning life lessons through difficult
or unpleasant experiences, rather than formal education.
It's a metaphorical expression for gaining
practical knowledge and skills from adversity."
~~~~~~
I believe that our ( we collectively) dreams, telepathy,
esoteric experiences including synchronicities become
our puzzle pieces that we've 'earned' from our soul.
And you could absolutely say that our puzzle pieces
become hard knocks because many times having
esoteric experiences and trying to understand
this 'forbidden knowledge' we lose friends
and family who don't understand it ( many thinking
it's demonic which causes fear ).
And what we fear, we either fight or flight.
Hard knocks indeed when we run against the wind of
the agreed upon narrative.
Copy and paste from Microsoft Co-Pilot ( OpenAi-
ChatGPT )
"The idea that history is a "fable agreed upon" or
"a set of lies agreed upon" is most famously
attributed to Napoleon Bonaparte.
While the exact wording has been debated,
rd of events. This perspective highlights the
subjective nature of historical accounts
and the role of power and bias in shaping
our understanding of the past."

I think I've share this link of Bob Seger's song
Running Against the Wind before?
If so, disregard. If not, enjoy.

WW,
IMHO, what you are describing regarding :
' vain, gaudy, chosen one,etc. are all ego pursuits.
All power sources ( including knowledge)
in this duality dimension have a dual nature
and many possible interpretations depending
on the believer/beholder.
Fire can be used for both good OR bad purposes.
Fire can warm our hearth and cook our food,
and fire can also ( when out of control )
burn our homes to the ground.
So is fire good OR is it bad?
I do believe that there are basic (10) commandments
that humanity should adhere to in order to avoid
a chaotic existence while on
this duality dimension such as : Thou should not kill.
However, hasn't this planet, throughout history
always been a warring planet with the good people
looking the other way thereby giving silent approval?
Is looking the other way good Or bad?
Or what about :Thou shall not steal?
Wouldn't that include 'stealing'
or selling other human beings? Or conquering
other people's land? Slavery and Peonage
has always been a part of this dimension
has it not? Are those 'sins' good
or bad?
The ego pleasures and protects the physical
body only. All of the 10 commandants revolves
around Sex, Power and Money in someway
shape or form which are all ego pursuits.
We even war with other people as to
whose God is best.
Interpretation of anything is in the eye
of the beholder and in history the writings
of the victor.
Which both may OR may not be Truth.
Yes, you can become vain and gaudy, like a cockroach. It just takes patience.
I’m supposedly good at inverting the obvious meanings of things, but you’re showing some next-level skillz here.
Shortly after leaving the comments above, I walked through my kitchen and lying on the countertop was a copy of "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding. I guess my son took it home this week as a reading assignment.
I recently brought up The Princess Bride by William Goldman, so the first thing that struck me was that here we have another author referred to as a Golden William. Seemed pretty uncanny. My guess is you are Pharazon (a name that means "Golden"), Pharazon went through a "Golding" process in order to try and become something he is not (i.e., the real Goldman), the application of gold apparel was one of my interpretations and a symbol of this metamorphosis, and here we had mention of a William Gold-ing, the -ing really driving home this process or action having to do with Gold.
And yes, the transformation of Pharazon into that Butterfly did take patience, and cunning, by Sauron. You don't seem to understand. It took years for Sauron to go from Pharazon's hostage and prisoner to his chief advisor and ultimately lord and ruler, and the subsequent transformation of Pharazon. Didn't happen overnight.
While I was thinking about this, I then focused on the title: "The Lord of the Flies". This seemed particularly relevant given my take on your butterflies, and a quick check on Etymonline confirmed that butterflies are considered flies (it's in the name, I know, Butter Fly, but I wanted to be sure), with even a special callout for butterflies in the definition.
The book cover, however, already had tied the Lord of the Flies to Butterflies, though it's illustration. The illustration includes an image of the boys stabbing and torturing the pig, while surrounded by an absolute mass of butterflies.. Here is the link to the copy I was looking at, so you can see what I saw (it's the Penguin Great Books of the 20th Century version in case the link doesn't work):
https://www.amazon.com/Lord-Flies-William-Golding/dp/0140283331/ref=asc_df_0140283331?mcid=2277d3d7255139688988fcfc8d8f1bcc&hvocijid=7290084663368004025-0140283331-&hvexpln=73&tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=721245378154&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=7290084663368004025&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9019493&hvtargid=pla-2281435177858&psc=1
You probably know that Lord of the Flies is the accepted translation of Beelzebub, another name for Satan or a Demon. Milton also included Beelzebub in his book Paradise Lost (Atlantis/ Numenor is often referred to by that same phrase, by the way). In Milton's writing, Beelzebub was actually a Fallen Angel, second in command to Satan (not the Satan himself). This maps very well to Pharazon's relationship with Sauron, the Satan of the 2nd and 3rd Ages. While Pharazon was the King, it was Sauron who called the shots and ruled that land from behind the throne. And you'll recall I specifically referred to Pharazon and the Numenoreans as Fallen Angels in my earlier comments.
Anyway, so we have this group of butterflies on this book cover, surrounding a scene of torture and savagery, with a title referring to either Satan or Satan's second-in-command, and the name William Golding wrapping it all together, almost as if William Golding is being introduced as The Lord of the Flies.
You might like this other nugget as well.
I mentioned The Bug's metamorphosis from a human into a giant cockroach in Men in Black. Immediately before he does this, Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) tells The Bug that he has violated "Sections 4153 of the Tycho Treaty".
You've made several comments about your last name and its relation to Tycho in the past, so it was interesting to hear a version of your name spoken right before The Bug metamorphosizes, or takes off its skin suit.
Here is the clip (it is relatively long at 10 minutes). The mention of Tycho and the metamorphosis that ensues is at about 4:15.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Je3HlOob0BE
The word Treaty is based on a word which means "to handle, manage", and from it we get things like "contract, accord, agreement", etc.. Thus, a Tycho Treaty could possibly be interpreted as "Tycho Management/ Handling". In the context of the scene, such a management plan or agreement might include said Bug not being allowed to scale walls, get in ships, or leave the planet.
I also looked up the meaning of Bug. I was curious - I may have done it before, but can't remember.
It turns out that Bug is based on the word for Goblin, which has come up here on your blog before, including in the context of things attached to Numenor (those pumpkins, for example). Goblin is another word for Devil, among other things.
