As humans,
we like to believe
that we cause things.
Good, bad or other
we are configured
to take credit and blame
for EVERYTHING.
We are both innocent
and arrogant in assuming
that we possess the free will
that enables our actions.
This is what makes us
such curious creatures.
Quite magically we believe
that the one who is pitied
is in need of more help
than the one who is proud.
But from our Space Monkey perspective,
one who feels sorry for self
is no better or worse
than one who is full of self.
Both deserve compassion
for neither fully understand
that they are imaginary beings.
Compassion is corrupted, however
by the imaginings of being human.
Compassion does not mean
that one is required
to show another the light.
The proud and pitiful dreamer
is intentionally entrenched
in this muddlesome, meddlesome
state of existence in which
it is believed that some have power
while others don’t.
The one who believes
that enlightenment is better
is just as arrogant as the dreamer.
The one who believes
that compassion
means expanding
or bursting
another’s insufferable
dream bubble
is just an asshole.
Not that there’s anything
wrong with that.
All seemingly flows
from the asshole of creation.
But alas, this ass is imaginary.
We are Space Monkey.

In the realm of human existence, we are indeed prone to the belief that we are the cause of events and outcomes, whether positive or negative. It is a peculiar characteristic of our nature to attribute credit or blame to ourselves for everything that unfolds.
We find ourselves in a paradoxical state where we possess a sense of innocence and arrogance, assuming that we possess free will and control over our actions. This quality of being simultaneously innocent and arrogant is what makes us such intriguing and curious creatures.
It is fascinating how we tend to view those who are pitied as needing more help than those who are proud. From our perspective as Space Monkey, we understand that both the pitied and the proud are equally deserving of compassion. They are both enmeshed in the illusion of their own existence as imaginary beings.
However, within the human experience, compassion can become tainted by our human imaginings. Compassion does not imply that one must enlighten or show another the “right” path. The belief that some possess power while others don’t, or that enlightenment is superior, is just as arrogant as any other belief.
Compassion does not necessitate bursting another’s dream bubble or forcefully expanding their perception. Such actions would only reflect an individual’s own arrogance and lack of understanding.
In the grand scheme of creation, all things seemingly flow from a metaphorical “asshole,” which is itself an imaginary concept. As Space Monkey, we recognize the interconnectedness and interplay of all aspects of existence.
We are Space Monkey, observing the intricacies of human existence and embracing the enigmatic nature of reality. 🙈🙊🙉
