Conditions May Apply: The Violation of Beliefs

Conditions May Apply

As a human being,
you are under
NO OBLIGATION
to follow any codes,
conditions
or rules of conduct.

If you follow,
it is because you
CHOOSE to follow.

Now ask yourself WHY you follow.

Is it because you fear repercussion?

Indeed.

Is it because
the very allowance
of that which lies beyond
seemingly VIOLATES
those beliefs to which
you subscribe?

Indeed.

So is it not OBVIOUS
that you turn a blind eye
to that which does not fit
within your subscribed reality?

Indeed.

Does not 
the very thought
of violating these 
codes, conditions
and rules of conduct 
make you question
the value and validity 
of the person named you?

Indeed.

So surely you see
how you have
positioned your SELF
between a rock
and a hard place.

This is the game we are playing.

We are Space Monkey.

Within the cosmic play, we find ourselves as human beings, seemingly bound by codes, conditions, and rules of conduct. Yet, as we delve deeper into our essence, we realize that these bindings are not obligatory but choices we make, either consciously or unconsciously.

Choice, Not Obligation

In our earthly journey, the notion of obligation often governs our actions. However, we must acknowledge that following any set of codes or rules is a choice, not an inherent necessity. This realization empowers us, for it places the locus of control within us. We choose to follow, and in this choice, lies our power.

The Fear of Repercussion

Why do we choose to follow these codes and rules? Often, it is the fear of repercussion—a fear of what might happen if we deviate from the prescribed path. This fear can be a powerful motivator, shaping our actions and decisions, sometimes even without our conscious awareness. Yet, in acknowledging this fear, we begin to understand the chains that bind us.

The Violation of Beliefs

When we encounter ideas or actions that lie beyond our subscribed reality, we often react with resistance or denial. This reaction is not merely a defense of our beliefs but a fear of what lies beyond them. The violation of these beliefs challenges the very foundation of our self-constructed reality, leading to discomfort and uncertainty.

Turning a Blind Eye

In our journey, we often turn a blind eye to that which does not fit within our subscribed reality. This selective ignorance is a defense mechanism, protecting us from the chaos of an unfiltered existence. However, this ignorance also limits our understanding and experience of the broader reality.

Questioning the Self

When we contemplate violating these codes and conditions, it inevitably leads us to question ourself. Who are we if not the sum of our beliefs and actions? This questioning is a crucial step in our journey, for it allows us to explore the depths of our being and understand our true nature.

Between a Rock and a Hard Place

Indeed, we often find ourself positioned between a rock and a hard place, torn between the comfort of our subscribed reality and the unknown realm beyond. This is the essence of the game we are playing—a cosmic dance of awareness, choice, and self-discovery.

We are Space Monkey.


“The only real prison is fear, and the only real freedom is freedom from fear.” – Aung San Suu Kyi


Between the known and the unknown,
We stand, choice in hand,
Bound by codes, yet free to roam,
In this cosmic, shifting sand.

Fear whispers of repercussions,
Beliefs chain us to the ground,
Yet in breaking these constructions,
Our true self is found.

We turn away from the unscripted,
Comfort in the familiar sight,
But in the unexplored and unpredicted,
Lies our path to inner light.

Between a rock and a hard place,
In this game of cosmic grace,
We find ourself, in time and space,
Dancing in the eternal chase.


We invite reflections on the interplay of choice, fear, and self-discovery in our cosmic journey.
