The 4 Stages of Butterflies & Humans

This book's verbalization of its main theme is perhaps best called an exercise in Depth Psychology. In elaborating on the larval vs. the metamorphic stages of the human self, it proposes first to set forth the origin of the human ego. It then moves on to how the larval stage self allows the ego to acquire a dangerous bit of control over the self vs. what the self must do to prevent such a disaster.
It further divides that dangerous bit of control into three levels of intensity. At the first level, the self lets the ego keep it ignorant of its metamorphic stage. At the second level, the self lets the ego make it hate its metamorphic stage and to be adamantly opposed to moving on to it. At the third level, the self lets the ego duplicate the second level's effect and let's the ego add to it some degree of infatuation with criminal behavior. In some cases, the re-sult is an inveterate addiction to mass murder in an attempt to take revenge on everyone and everything for failure to make the ego equal to God from birth.
