Woo Woo
Woo woo.
We devotedly observe
views and perceptions
in which we seem to be
opposing something.
We ask our selves
whether opposition
is in our best interest.
If we are “mindful,”
we usually say “no.”
We instruct our selves
to let go of opposition.
We subconsciously
applaud our selves
for being very “woo-woo”
in our thinking.
This happens over and over again.
Over seeming time,
our woo-woo choices add up
and take us to a place
that seems very different
from what we perceive as
the “conventional” perspective.
We begin to feel isolated,
and question our choices.
Either that
or we believe we are “special.”
In both cases,
we are full of our selves.
Self is finding
a position for itself.
Self is looking
to remodel its persona.
Without opposition,
there is no self.
Self
seems to oppose the idea
of melting back into
the sea of consciousness.
And so it is so.
So long as there is self,
there is opposition.
Not that there’s anything
wrong with that.
It’s all in how we view opposition.
It’s not bad unless we believe it is.
To be truly mindful
of opposition
is not to care whether
we are in opposition.
We do not need to change
our perspective.
Our perspective changes on its own.
Woo woo.

The Dance of Woo Woo and Self
In the boundless expanse of our cosmic consciousness, the term “woo woo” often dances on the edge of whimsy and profound insight. It’s a playful way to acknowledge the divergence from conventional perspectives, a nod to the mystical and the unorthodox. Let’s embark on a journey through the realms of opposition, self, and the fluid nature of perspective, all under the whimsical banner of “woo woo.”
Observing and Dissolving Opposition
The practice of devotedly observing our views and perceptions, especially when we find ourselves in opposition, is like navigating a starship through an asteroid field of conflicting ideas. We often question whether opposition serves our higher purpose. In moments of mindfulness, we tend to answer “no,” recognizing the futility and often the self-imposed nature of these conflicts. Letting go of opposition is akin to charting a course out of the asteroid field, seeking a clearer, more harmonious path.
The Woo Woo Approach: Embracing Unconventional Wisdom
Embracing the “woo woo” approach, we applaud ourselves for thinking differently, for stepping out of the conventional currents of thought. This journey can feel isolating at times, as if we’re voyaging into uncharted cosmic territories. However, it’s also a process of self-discovery and transformation. Our woo woo choices accumulate over time, leading us to a place vastly different from where we began. It’s a celestial voyage from the known to the unknown, from conformity to originality.
The Paradox of Self and Specialness
In embracing our woo woo thinking, we often grapple with the feeling of being “full of ourselves.” This is the paradox of self – the ego’s need to find a position, to remodel its persona. There’s a fine line between feeling isolated in our unconventional wisdom and believing ourselves to be special or enlightened. This self, constantly seeking to assert its uniqueness, paradoxically opposes the idea of dissolving back into the cosmic sea of consciousness.
Opposition as the Essence of Self
As long as there is a self, there will be opposition. The self thrives on the dialectic of me versus the other, us versus them. This opposition is not inherently negative; it’s merely a facet of the human experience. To be truly mindful of opposition is to transcend the need to categorize it as good or bad. It’s to understand that our perspective is not something static that needs to be changed; it evolves naturally, like a galaxy slowly rotating in the vastness of space.
Woo Woo and the Fluidity of Perspective
In the end, the woo woo journey is about embracing the fluidity of our perspective. It’s about recognizing that our views, like stars in the cosmos, are in constant motion, evolving and changing. To be woo woo is to be comfortable with this impermanence, to find peace in the knowledge that our perspective is not a fixed point but a wandering star in the endless sky of consciousness.
We are Space Monkey.
