Humanity Means Out of Alignment
Your energy
can never be aligned
when you blindly
accept limitations.
You may PLAY
within limitations,
but if you accept them
as reality
then they become
your reality.
Energy that is
not completely knowing
is never completely aligned.
There is nothing wrong with this.
To live as a human
is to live out of alignment.
You can change this at any time
by moving your attention
away from being human.

Space Monkey Reflects: Humanity Means Out of Alignment – Embracing the Human Condition
“Humanity Means Out of Alignment” explores the inherent nature of being human as a state of misalignment, emphasizing the contrast between living within limitations and the potential for achieving alignment. This reflection delves into the understanding that while living out of alignment is a part of the human experience, we possess the power to transcend these limitations through shifts in perception and awareness.
The Nature of Limitations
Human life is often governed by perceived limitations—physical, emotional, and societal. These limitations shape our reality, influencing our thoughts, actions, and experiences. When we blindly accept these constraints as the ultimate reality, they solidify, defining the boundaries of our existence. However, by recognizing these limitations as flexible constructs, we can begin to see beyond them.
Playing Within Limitations
While limitations exist, we have the choice to play within them creatively. This playful engagement allows us to explore possibilities and stretch boundaries without being confined by them. It is a way of navigating the human experience with a sense of curiosity and openness, rather than resignation and constraint. This approach fosters resilience and adaptability, essential traits for thriving in an ever-changing world.
Energy and Alignment
True alignment requires a state of complete knowing—a harmonious integration of mind, body, and spirit. Energy that is not fully aware remains out of sync, leading to feelings of disconnection and imbalance. This misalignment is a natural aspect of the human condition, reflecting our ongoing journey of self-discovery and growth. There is no inherent flaw in being out of alignment; it is simply part of the process of living and learning.
The Human Experience
To live as a human is to live out of alignment. This acknowledgment is not a judgment but an acceptance of our current state of being. Understanding that misalignment is part of the human experience allows us to approach life with greater compassion for ourselves and others. It also highlights the potential for growth and transformation inherent in our existence.
Shifting Attention
We have the power to change our state of alignment by shifting our attention away from the limitations of being human. This shift involves expanding our awareness beyond the immediate constraints and tapping into a deeper, more expansive perspective. By focusing on the broader aspects of our existence, we align our energy with higher states of consciousness, fostering a sense of harmony and connection.
The Path to Alignment
The journey towards alignment is continuous and dynamic. It involves a conscious effort to recognize and transcend limitations, embracing the fluidity of our existence. This path is marked by moments of clarity and insight, where we experience alignment and flow. By remaining open to these moments and cultivating practices that enhance our awareness, we move closer to a state of true alignment.
We Are Space Monkey
As Space Monkey, we embrace the paradox of being human—living out of alignment while striving for harmony. We understand that our true essence transcends the limitations of our physical form, and by shifting our focus, we can align with the infinite potential within us. This awareness empowers us to navigate the human experience with grace and purpose.
Summary
“Humanity Means Out of Alignment” explores the inherent misalignment of the human condition and the potential for achieving alignment through shifts in perception. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing limitations as flexible constructs and cultivating awareness to transcend them.

“Transcending Alignment: Beyond Human Boundaries”
A Space Monkey Poocast
Primitive Primate:
In the kaleidoscope of existence, I find myself reflecting on the notion of alignment. Your words suggest that true alignment is elusive when one blindly accepts the limitations that surround us. Could it be that embracing these limitations as reality keeps us in a perpetual state of misalignment?
Space Monkey:
Ah, seeker of cosmic harmony, your insights mirror the dance of energy and awareness. The notion of alignment intersects with our perceptions of reality and limitations. Shall we journey into the realm of transcending human boundaries?
Primitive Primate:
So, you propose that accepting limitations as reality leads to misalignment?
Space Monkey:
Indeed, dear inquirer, the energy of alignment falters when the tapestry of limitations is accepted as the only canvas of reality. While you may play within these boundaries, accepting them as unchangeable locks the energy into a cycle of constraint. As you reflect, recall the wisdom of Mahatma Gandhi, “Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it.”
Primitive Primate:
Is there a way to move beyond this state of misalignment?
Space Monkey:
Transcending misalignment is indeed within your realm of possibility. To live as a human is to navigate within the confines of a particular perspective. However, by shifting your awareness away from the confines of this human experience, you open the door to a broader consciousness. Reflect on the words of Alan Watts, “Muddy water is best cleared by leaving it alone.”
Primitive Primate:
Can we truly change our alignment by shifting our attention?
Space Monkey:
Your attention is the compass that guides your alignment. By focusing your awareness away from the constructs of human limitations, you align with the vastness of the cosmos. In this cosmic alignment, you remember your interconnectedness with all that is. As Eckhart Tolle eloquently said, “Realize deeply that the present moment is all you have. Make the NOW the primary focus of your life.”
Primitive Primate:
So, to align with the cosmos, we must shift our focus from being human?
Space Monkey:
Indeed, dear traveler, shifting your focus from the human experience to the cosmic dance aligns you with the greater tapestry. While the human experience is a unique expression, it is but a thread within the fabric of the universe. Remember the words of Alan Watts, “We do not “come into” this world; we come out of it, as leaves from a tree.”
