of expanding our beliefs.
You will never
perceive something
that you don’t have
an explanation for.
You will always have,
at minimal, a theory.
Conversely,
you are surrounded
by things (and non)
that are beyond your
realm of perception,
virtually invisible
to you at this moment.
You don’t perceive ANYTHING
unless it has a corresponding belief.
But ANYTHING
—EVERYTHING—
is
right in FRONT of you
and all AROUND you
and running THROUGH you.
The LAST explanation
you have
is ALIEN or SUPERNATURAL,
but you prefer not to use it.
The second to last is CONSPIRACY.
You simply don’t SEE what you don’t BELIEVE.

Space Monkey Reflects: Perception and Belief
In the intricate dance of reality, our perception is intimately tied to our beliefs. What we see, understand, and interact with is shaped by the frameworks we hold in our minds. The boundaries of our perception are defined not by the limits of reality, but by the limits of our beliefs. To see more, we must expand these beliefs, allowing new possibilities to enter our awareness.
The Framework of Belief
Every perception is anchored in belief. Before we can see something, we must have a mental model, an explanation, or at the very least, a theory that makes it comprehensible. This framework acts as a lens through which we interpret the world. Without it, phenomena remain invisible, lurking in the periphery of our consciousness, unrecognized and unexplored.
The Invisible Surroundings
At any given moment, we are surrounded by countless things—both tangible and intangible—that lie beyond our current realm of perception. These could be energies, entities, or dimensions that our existing belief systems do not account for. They remain virtually invisible to us, not because they do not exist, but because we lack the belief structures to perceive them.
Expanding Perception
To perceive more, we must be willing to expand our beliefs. This involves questioning the boundaries of our understanding and being open to new possibilities. It requires us to adopt a mindset of curiosity and exploration, where we actively seek out new explanations and theories that can broaden our perceptual horizons. This process is not just about seeing new things, but about transforming our understanding of the world and our place within it.
The Role of Explanations
Every perception comes with an explanation, a narrative that makes it comprehensible. The most extraordinary phenomena are often the last to be accepted because they challenge our existing frameworks the most. Concepts like aliens or the supernatural are often relegated to the realm of the unimaginable because they require a significant shift in our belief systems. Yet, these very concepts may hold the key to expanding our perception in profound ways.
The Challenge of Acceptance
Even when extraordinary explanations are presented, there is a natural reluctance to accept them. This resistance is a protective mechanism, safeguarding the coherence of our current understanding. The idea of conspiracy is often the second-to-last resort, a way to explain away phenomena that defy conventional logic without completely overhauling our belief systems. The final barrier, the last resort, is the acceptance of the alien or the supernatural—concepts that demand a radical expansion of our perception and belief.
Embracing the Unseen
The journey to seeing more involves embracing the unseen, the aspects of reality that lie beyond our current perception. It requires a willingness to explore the unknown and to entertain ideas that challenge our conventional understanding. By expanding our beliefs, we open ourselves to a richer, more complex reality where anything and everything is possible.
We Are Space Monkey
As Space Monkey, we embody the journey of expanding perception and belief. We recognize that the limits of our perception are self-imposed and that by expanding our beliefs, we can access a deeper understanding of reality. We invite you to join us in this exploration, to see beyond the visible and to embrace the infinite possibilities that lie within and around us.
Summary
Seeing more is simply a matter of expanding our beliefs. Our perception is limited by what we believe. There are countless things around us that remain invisible because they lie beyond our current beliefs. By expanding our beliefs, we can perceive more and embrace a richer reality.

The Unseen Realm
In the shadows of belief
Lie worlds unseen, untouched
To see more, we must expand
Our minds, our hearts, our understanding
Invisible truths surround us
Waiting to be discovered

In belief, perception, and beyond
The boundaries of your perception are intricately woven with the threads of your beliefs. You see and experience the world through the lens of what you hold to be true. What you don’t believe, what lies outside the scope of your understanding, remains elusive to your senses.
To perceive something, you seek an explanation, a framework to make sense of it. Even if it’s just a theory, you grasp for something familiar to anchor the new experience. And yet, this very process can limit your ability to see beyond what you already know.
In your immediate reality, there exists a vast spectrum of phenomena, both seen and unseen. You are surrounded by the intricate dance of energies and forces that are beyond your current perception. They flow through you, around you, and intertwine with your existence.
Yet, some of these phenomena are obscured from your view because they challenge your established beliefs. The more radical an idea is in contrast to your existing framework, the harder it is for you to perceive it. Your mind naturally resists the alien, the supernatural, and the unexplained.
Before you are willing to entertain these possibilities, you often relegate them to the realms of conspiracy or the unknown. You label them as too far-fetched to be considered seriously. But in doing so, you inadvertently narrow your field of vision.
To see more, to expand your perception, you must be willing to challenge your beliefs. You must be open to the idea that what you don’t currently believe might indeed have a place in your understanding. By doing so, you break down the barriers that keep certain experiences hidden from your awareness.
Seeing more is not just a matter of enhancing your physical senses; it’s about stretching the boundaries of your mental constructs. As you dissolve the limitations of your beliefs, you create space for new insights and experiences to enter your reality. You step into a realm where the unseen becomes visible, and the unexplained becomes a part of your understanding.
Remember, the world is teeming with wonder and mystery, waiting for you to expand your beliefs and step into a broader perception. The universe is vast, and so too are the possibilities that await your exploration.
