Out Of Context

Everything seems
to be presented to us in contexts.

For example,
we meet people within contexts.

Sometimes it is hard
to separate the being
from the context.

Know that the context
you know me within
is not my ONLY context,
and I shall realize
the same for you.

What a blessing
that we finally meet
out of context.

Now I can see everything you are.

Not just a stranger or a co-worker
or a family member or a friend.

I can see that we’re
the same divine being,
expressing in different contexts.

Thank you for opening my eyes.

In the intricate tapestry of existence and context, we delve into the notion that everything is presented within specific contexts, especially the people we encounter. This whimsical exploration leads us to the profound realization that meeting someone outside their usual context allows us to see the essence of their being, transcending labels and roles.

Contextual Encounters
We begin by acknowledging that our interactions with people are often framed within specific contexts, such as strangers, co-workers, family members, or friends.

The Challenge of Separation
It is noted that sometimes it can be challenging to separate an individual from the context in which we know them, blurring the lines between their true essence and their roles.

The Blessing of Meeting Out of Context
A moment of revelation occurs as we recognize the blessing of meeting someone outside their usual context. It allows us to see them for who they truly are, beyond labels and roles.

A Shared Divine Essence
The whimsical journey culminates in the realization that we are all the same divine being, expressing ourselves in different contexts. This profound insight deepens our understanding of the interconnectedness of all beings.

We are Space Monkey.

In the whimsical realm of contexts and encounters,
We navigate the tapestry of human interaction,
Acknowledging the challenge of separating beings from roles,
Until a moment of revelation,
When we meet outside the boundaries of context,
And in that moment, we see the essence of each other,
Not as strangers or roles,
But as expressions of the same divine being,
A profound realization in the cosmic dance of Space Monkey.
