a tale of the Imaginal cell
what makes imaginal cells so powerful is their awareness of the butterfly long before it became a reality, and there’s name for that superpower in human form: the imagination.
As we all know, caterpillars will reach a point in their life when it’s time to transform into a butterfly, through a process called metamorphosis. During the metamorphosis process, the internal system of a caterpillar will actually start to fall apart and ultimately dissolve into goo and become the cocoon. Yet simultaneously the imaginal cells inside the caterpillar awakens and start to prepare the formation of the butterfly.
There is no structural similarity at all between a caterpillar and a butterfly. However as the regular cells inside a caterpillar fall apart, the imaginal cells brings the blueprint of a butterfly into the system. Despite the limited quantity, those imaginal cells finds their way to connect and expand, and eventually creates the masterpiece of a butterfly.
