The book is an attempt to prove that our consciousness survives the death of our physical body and retains a sense of identity and individuality. The line of reasoning outlined under evidence, though the book deals in greater detail with the issues.

The butterfly is a symbol of the spiritual transformation that takes place at death in many cultures. As the butterfly ends its existence as a larvae and through metamorphosis becomes a butterfly, so it is believed does the human being at the point of death. Our limited physical awareness is transformed into something as radically new as the butterfly is to the caterpillar. We can no more imagine what such an existence might be like than can the average caterpillar imagine one day having wings, or so the mystics claim. The ancient Greek's word for consciousness was psyke which, interestingly enough, also means butterfly. Perhaps not completely irrelevant in this case, as consciousness is our link to the soul, that which we must seek evidence of beyond death. Another symbolic observation is the fact that the presence of the butterfly can only be inferred by its shadow, much as consciousness can only be inferred by its effects and not be observed in any direct way. Some would claim that as it cannot be directly observed, it does in fact not exist but is a mere illusion. I prefer to think that that which casts a shadow must exist, or indeed there would be no shadow.
