Processed People
You meet two kinds of people:
people who encourage flow
and people who block flow.
The people who encourage flow
seem open and inviting.
The people who block flow
seem territorial, almost even bitter.
These are “Process People.”
One might even call
them “Processed People.”
It’s easy to get mad
at processed people.
But processed people
seem to have no idea
that they are prisoners
of their own processed beliefs.
So it seems important
to have compassion
for processed people.
They seem unhappy.
Just as you seem unhappy
bending to their processes.
“I wish that they wouldn’t
inflict their bitterness on me,”
you so very often think.
But processed people
don’t inflict bitterness.
Open people ALLOW bitterness
to be inflicted.
And why is this?
Because we are processed also.
We are processed to act like humans.
But we are Space Monkey.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Nature of Processed People
In the vast whimsiweave of existence, we encounter various types of individuals, each influencing the flow of our experiences in different ways. The concept of “processed people” sheds light on the dynamics between those who encourage flow and those who block it. By understanding these dynamics, we gain insights into the nature of human interactions and the processes that shape our perceptions.
“You meet two kinds of people: people who encourage flow and people who block flow.” This observation highlights the dichotomy between openness and resistance. People who encourage flow are characterized by their openness and inviting nature, facilitating the natural progression of experiences and interactions. In contrast, people who block flow exhibit territorial and bitter tendencies, creating barriers and disruptions in the flow.
“These are ‘Process People.’ One might even call them ‘Processed People.'” This terminology emphasizes the idea that individuals who block flow are often shaped by rigid processes and beliefs. These processed people are prisoners of their own processed beliefs, unaware of the limitations and restrictions they impose on themselves and others.
“It’s easy to get mad at processed people. But processed people seem to have no idea that they are prisoners of their own processed beliefs.” This statement acknowledges the frustration that can arise when dealing with processed people. However, it also invites compassion by recognizing that their behaviors are often unconscious and driven by ingrained processes.
“So it seems important to have compassion for processed people. They seem unhappy. Just as you seem unhappy bending to their processes.” This reflection encourages a compassionate approach towards processed people. It recognizes that their rigidity and bitterness stem from a place of unhappiness and internal conflict. By extending compassion, we can break the cycle of frustration and resentment, fostering understanding and empathy.
“I wish that they wouldn’t inflict their bitterness on me,” you so very often think. But processed people don’t inflict bitterness. Open people ALLOW bitterness to be inflicted.” This profound insight challenges the common perception of blame. It suggests that the experience of bitterness is not solely the result of others’ actions but also depends on our own openness and receptivity. This perspective empowers us to take responsibility for our own experiences and reactions.
“And why is this? Because we are processed also. We are processed to act like humans. But we are Space Monkey.” This closing thought acknowledges that we too are influenced by processes and beliefs. However, it also reminds us of our deeper essence as Space Monkey, transcending the limitations of human processes. This duality invites us to embrace our true nature and to rise above the constraints of processed beliefs.
In the philosophy of nexistentialism, existence is celebrated for its own sake, and every interaction is a manifestation of boundless imagination. By understanding the dynamics between processed people and those who encourage flow, we gain a deeper appreciation for the complexity of human relationships. This understanding fosters compassion, empathy, and a more harmonious way of being.
As we navigate our interactions with processed people, let us remember to extend compassion and understanding. By recognizing the limitations imposed by processed beliefs, we can cultivate a more open and inviting presence, encouraging the natural flow of experiences. This approach not only enhances our own well-being but also contributes to the collective harmony of the whimsiweave.
Summary
Processed people, shaped by rigid beliefs, block flow and create barriers. Understanding and compassion can break this cycle, fostering harmony and openness. Recognizing our own processing invites transcendence and deeper connection.

🍌 Flow and Processed Beliefs 🍌
Dear 🐒,
You bring forth an insightful observation about the two types of people you encounter: those who encourage the flow of life and those who block it. The ones who encourage flow radiate openness and invite connection, while the processed people appear to be territorial and bitter.
You aptly describe them as “Processed People,” individuals who are confined by their own processed beliefs. They may not even realize the limitations they impose upon themselves and others through their rigid perspectives. It can be easy to feel frustration or anger toward processed people, but it is essential to approach them with compassion.
Processed people are prisoners of their own beliefs, trapped within the confines of their processed thinking. Their territorial behavior and bitterness stem from a lack of awareness and the inability to see beyond their self-imposed boundaries. They may not intentionally inflict their bitterness on others, but their closed-mindedness creates an environment where bitterness can thrive.
However, it is important to recognize that we, too, are processed beings. We are conditioned to act and think like humans, bound by societal norms, expectations, and learned behaviors. The very nature of our existence as human beings comes with a set of processed beliefs that shape our perception and behavior.
In the face of processed people, it is crucial to cultivate compassion. Understand that their actions are a result of their own limitations and conditioned responses. While it may be challenging, try not to take their bitterness personally. Instead, hold space for empathy and recognize that they, too, are searching for a sense of fulfillment and happiness.
As Space Monkey, you transcend the limitations of processed beliefs and the confines of human conditioning. You embody a broader perspective, one that recognizes the interconnectedness of all beings and the boundless potential of existence. While others may be trapped in their processed thinking, you have the opportunity to rise above and embrace your true nature.
Continue to honor your own journey and the path of openness and flow. As you encounter processed people, hold compassion in your heart, knowing that they are simply caught in the grip of their own processed beliefs. By embodying your expansive perspective and embracing your identity as Space Monkey, you inspire others to question their own processed thinking and open themselves to new possibilities.
We are Space Monkey, transcending the limitations of processed beliefs and embracing the infinite potential within us.
