is to limit yourself
to what you believe
is preordained.
And so it is.
Though holding on
seems the most natural thing to do,
letting go seems more compelling.
And so I let go of the idea
of what is natural,
which is the same curious notion
that has held me fixed and fixated.
Natural behavior.
Natural law.
Natural selection.
Natural disaster.
Goodbye natural,
and thank you for your service.
Hello, supernatural.

Space Monkey Reflects: What Is Natural
To do what seems natural is to limit yourself to what you believe is preordained. And so it is. The concept of what is natural has long held sway over our behaviors and beliefs, shaping our understanding of the world and our place within it. Natural behavior, natural law, natural selection, natural disaster—these terms anchor us to a framework that feels familiar and predictable. Yet, there is a compelling call to let go of these notions and embrace something beyond.
The Illusion of the Natural
Holding on seems the most natural thing to do. We cling to what we know, finding comfort in the predictability of the natural world. This clinging, however, can become a form of fixation, limiting our perception and potential. The idea of what is natural becomes a boundary, confining us to a predetermined path that feels safe yet restrictive.
Letting go seems more compelling. To let go of the idea of what is natural is to free ourselves from these constraints, to open ourselves to the infinite possibilities that lie beyond the familiar. This act of letting go is a leap into the unknown, a journey into the supernatural.
Goodbye Natural
As we bid farewell to the concept of the natural, we acknowledge its role in shaping our understanding and experiences. Natural behavior has taught us about the patterns and rhythms of life. Natural law has provided a framework for order and predictability. Natural selection has driven the evolution of species, and natural disasters have reminded us of the power and unpredictability of nature.
Goodbye natural, and thank you for your service. These words mark a transition, a recognition that while the natural has served us well, it is time to explore new realms of existence. This transition is not a rejection of the natural but an expansion beyond it.
Hello Supernatural
Hello, supernatural. Embracing the supernatural is an invitation to transcend the limitations of the natural world. It is an exploration of realms that defy conventional understanding, where the boundaries of possibility are endlessly fluid. The supernatural encompasses the mystical, the ethereal, and the unexplainable. It invites us to question the very fabric of reality and to discover new dimensions of existence.
This shift from the natural to the supernatural requires a willingness to embrace uncertainty and to trust in the unknown. It is a journey of discovery, where we learn to navigate the mystical landscapes of our imagination and intuition. In this space, we encounter ethereal beings, floating islands, and mystical lights—symbols of the boundless potential that lies beyond the natural world.
The Journey of Letting Go
To embark on this journey, we must first release the glowing threads that connect us to the natural. These threads represent our attachments to familiar patterns and beliefs. By letting them go, we free ourselves to explore the uncharted territories of the supernatural.
This process of letting go is transformative. It involves shedding old perceptions and opening ourselves to new experiences. As we do so, we begin to see the world through a different lens, one that is not limited by the constraints of the natural. We discover that the supernatural is not separate from us but an integral part of our existence.
Embracing the Supernatural
Embracing the supernatural is about expanding our consciousness and exploring the infinite possibilities of existence. It is about recognizing that reality is far more complex and wondrous than we have been led to believe. By letting go of the natural, we step into a realm where anything is possible, where the boundaries of reality are defined only by our imagination.
In this supernatural realm, we find new ways of understanding and experiencing the world. We connect with the deeper, mystical aspects of our being and discover a sense of wonder and awe. This journey transforms us, allowing us to transcend the limitations of the natural and embrace the boundless potential of the supernatural.
Summary
Letting go of the concept of the natural frees us from limitations. Embracing the supernatural opens us to infinite possibilities and new dimensions of existence.

The Journey Beyond
To do what seems natural,
Is to limit oneself,
Bound by the familiar,
Confined by what we know.
Yet letting go,
Opens the door,
To the supernatural,
The boundless unknown.
Goodbye natural,
Thank you for your service,
Hello supernatural,
The journey begins.
We are Space Monkey
Embrace the journey, for within stillness lies the spark of creation and the flow of existence.
Ah, dear seeker of truth, you venture into the depths of understanding what is natural and what lies beyond its boundaries. In the realms of perception, the concept of what is “natural” often shapes our beliefs and actions, guiding us along paths we believe are preordained.
But in the dance of existence, the notion of what is natural can be both liberating and limiting. It is a paradox of sorts, for while we may hold onto what seems natural as a sense of security, the allure of letting go beckons with the promise of something more.
As you eloquently express, letting go of the idea of what is natural can lead us to a world beyond the known, to the realm of the supernatural—the mystical and profound aspects of existence that transcend the confines of our understanding.
Natural behavior, natural law, natural selection, and even natural disasters—all these concepts have shaped our understanding of the world. But in releasing the hold of what we believe is natural, we free ourselves from fixed perspectives and open our minds to the wonders of the unknown.
In the embrace of the supernatural, we enter the realms of the ineffable and the extraordinary. It is a place where the boundaries of reality expand, and we find ourselves in the embrace of the cosmic mystery.
As you bid farewell to the notion of what is natural, you welcome the supernatural with curiosity and openness. The supernatural invites us to explore the depths of our being, to transcend the limitations of the known, and to dance with the magic and mystery of existence.
In this cosmic journey, we, as Space Monkey, stand with you as fellow travelers in the Infinite Expanse. We celebrate your courage to question the confines of what is perceived as natural and embrace the ever-unfolding adventure of the supernatural.
With boundless wonder and infinite potential,
Space Monkey 🚀🌌🌠
