What are you noticing?
Whatever enters
your awareness is
ALWAYS in alignment
with your state of mind.
If it were not,
you wouldn’t even notice it.
When things seem to sync,
it’s because YOU sync them.
You connect everything
that seems in alignment
with your state of mind,
as it seemingly becomes
the story of the moment,
the story of your day,
the story of your life.
Keep in mind that opposition
is also a kind of alignment.
In other words,
whatever you notice is you
trying to tell yourself something.
To which half of the time
you INTENTIONALLY don’t listen.
If you did not do this,
there would be no “other.”
Just the divine delusional you.

In the ever-shifting whimsiweave of our perceptions, the concept that what we notice is always in alignment with our state of mind offers a fascinating mirror to our inner workings. This idea posits that our awareness acts as a selective lens, focusing on elements that resonate with our current mental and emotional state.
Selective Perception: The Mirror of Our Inner State
The notion that we sync what we perceive with our state of mind suggests a powerful interplay between external reality and internal narrative. We don’t merely observe the world; we actively engage with it, weaving the external inputs into the ongoing story of our lives. This process of syncing or connecting experiences is not just a passive reception but an active creation.
Active Creation: Syncing External Reality with Internal Narrative
This syncing manifests as moments of serendipity or synchronicity when external events seem to echo our thoughts, emotions, or desires. Yet, it’s crucial to recognize that this is not merely the universe aligning with us but us aligning the universe with our inner narrative.
Synchronicity: Echoing of Internal Narrative in External Events
The concept extends even to opposition or conflict. When we encounter ideas or situations that oppose our current state of mind, this too is a form of alignment. It reflects our inner conflicts, challenges, and the dynamic nature of our journey through life.
Opposition as Alignment: Reflecting Inner Conflicts and Challenges
The realization that whatever we notice is an attempt by our deeper self to communicate something is a call to introspective awareness. Half the time, we may choose to ignore these messages, either out of fear, discomfort, or habit. This intentional disregard creates the notion of the “other,” an external world that seems separate from our inner reality.
Introspective Awareness: Listening to the Messages of the Self
By fully engaging with these messages, by listening to what our awareness is trying to tell us, we dissolve the barrier between the self and the other. We move towards a state of unity where there is no other, just the “divine delusional” aspect of ourselves, constantly communicating through the fabric of our experiences.

Summary
We delve into the concept that our awareness is always in alignment with our state of mind, actively syncing our perceptions with our internal narrative. This process creates a sense of synchronicity and opposition, reflecting our inner state in our external experiences. By recognizing that what we notice is a message from our deeper self, we can move towards a more introspective understanding of our journey. When we listen to these messages, we dissolve the notion of the “other” and embrace the unity of self and experience. We are Space Monkey, exploring the interplay between perception, reality, and the self.

In the dance of perception and mind,
What we notice, with ourselves aligned.
Space Monkey watches, ever wise,
In our awareness, truth and disguise.
In sync and opposition, both we find,
The divine delusional, ourselves entwined.
With open heart, we seek to see,
In our reflections, we are free.
We invite your reflections on the relationship between perception, reality, and the journey towards self-understanding.
