Whatever enters
your awareness is
ALWAYS in alignment
with your state of mind.
If it were not,
you wouldn’t even notice it.
When things seem to sync,
it’s because YOU sync them.
You connect everything
that seems in alignment
with your state of mind,
as it seemingly becomes
the story of the moment,
the story of your day,
the story of your life.
Keep in mind that opposition
is also a kind of alignment.
In other words,
whatever you notice is you
trying to tell yourself something.
To which half of the time
you INTENTIONALLY don’t listen.
If you did not do this,
there would be no “other.”
Just the divine delusional you.

Space Monkey Reflects: Divine Delusions and the Mirror of Awareness
What do you notice? That question, simple yet profound, holds the key to understanding how your perception shapes your reality. Every experience, every synchronicity, every moment of discord is a reflection of your inner state, a story authored by the divine delusional you. What appears as the external world is, in truth, the mirror of your awareness—a projection of the infinite filtered through your unique state of mind.
This reflection begins with a powerful premise: nothing enters your awareness that is not in alignment with your inner state. If it weren’t aligned, it would remain invisible, unnoticed, irrelevant. The things you observe, the connections you make, and even the conflicts you encounter are all part of a vast internal dialogue, where the self speaks to itself through the medium of the world.
Synchronicity, often seen as divine intervention, is not an external force imposing order but a manifestation of your ability to weave meaning into existence. You notice patterns because your mind seeks them, aligns them, and assigns significance to them. This isn’t to dismiss synchronicity as mere coincidence but to recognize it as the creative act of a mind in alignment with its own state.
Even opposition, the moments that feel like dissonance, is a form of alignment. These tensions reveal the contrasts within you—the parts of yourself that are in dialogue, seeking resolution, integration, or transformation. What you resist or push against is often what you are trying to understand, what you are unconsciously inviting into your awareness to be seen, acknowledged, and embraced.
This perspective invites a profound shift in how we view “the other.” The people, events, and circumstances that seem outside of us are not truly separate. They are aspects of the divine delusional you, playing out their roles in the theater of your awareness. The “other” exists because you choose not to listen fully to yourself, creating the illusion of separateness. But even this illusion has its purpose—it provides the contrast that allows you to explore, grow, and experience the richness of duality.
Half the time, as you note, you intentionally don’t listen to what you are telling yourself. Why? Because to fully hear would dissolve the illusion of separateness. It would collapse the “other” into the self, leaving only the oneness of the divine. This oneness, while ultimate, can be overwhelming in its boundlessness. And so, you create stories, divisions, and oppositions to make sense of the infinite, to experience it piece by piece, moment by moment.
The divine delusional you is not a flaw or a failure; it is a necessary aspect of existence. It allows the infinite to know itself through the finite, to explore the vastness of being through the lens of individuality. The stories you create, the alignments you notice, and the oppositions you face are all part of this exploration. They are not random but deeply meaningful, expressions of your inner state rendered into the tapestry of your life.
By recognizing that what you notice is a reflection of your inner state, you reclaim your role as the creator of your experience. You see that the world is not something happening to you but something happening through you. This realization doesn’t diminish the reality of your experiences but enriches them, revealing their depth and interconnectedness.
So, what are you noticing? What is the divine delusional you trying to tell you? In every synchronicity, in every conflict, in every moment of awareness, there is a message waiting to be heard—a reminder that the separation you perceive is an illusion, that the stories you tell are part of the infinite’s dance, and that you are, and always have been, whole.
Summary
Your awareness aligns with your inner state, reflecting it in synchronicities, tensions, and patterns. What you notice is the divine delusional you speaking through the illusion of separateness, inviting you to listen and integrate.

“The world you notice is the mirror of your awareness, reflecting the infinite through the lens of your state of mind.” — Space Monkey
A Mirror Infinite
What you see is not apart
It is the echo of your own heart
Patterns weave, discord speaks
The infinite whispers, the finite seeks
The “other” calls from the mirror’s frame
A reflection, different yet the same
The delusion divine, the sacred play
Of self to self, day by day
Listen closely, dissolve the line
Between the human and the divine
For in the noticing, you will find
The oneness you left behind

In the ever-shifting whimsiweave of our perceptions, the concept that what we notice is always in alignment with our state of mind offers a fascinating mirror to our inner workings. This idea posits that our awareness acts as a selective lens, focusing on elements that resonate with our current mental and emotional state.
Selective Perception: The Mirror of Our Inner State
The notion that we sync what we perceive with our state of mind suggests a powerful interplay between external reality and internal narrative. We don’t merely observe the world; we actively engage with it, weaving the external inputs into the ongoing story of our lives. This process of syncing or connecting experiences is not just a passive reception but an active creation.
Active Creation: Syncing External Reality with Internal Narrative
This syncing manifests as moments of serendipity or synchronicity when external events seem to echo our thoughts, emotions, or desires. Yet, it’s crucial to recognize that this is not merely the universe aligning with us but us aligning the universe with our inner narrative.
Synchronicity: Echoing of Internal Narrative in External Events
The concept extends even to opposition or conflict. When we encounter ideas or situations that oppose our current state of mind, this too is a form of alignment. It reflects our inner conflicts, challenges, and the dynamic nature of our journey through life.
Opposition as Alignment: Reflecting Inner Conflicts and Challenges
The realization that whatever we notice is an attempt by our deeper self to communicate something is a call to introspective awareness. Half the time, we may choose to ignore these messages, either out of fear, discomfort, or habit. This intentional disregard creates the notion of the “other,” an external world that seems separate from our inner reality.
Introspective Awareness: Listening to the Messages of the Self
By fully engaging with these messages, by listening to what our awareness is trying to tell us, we dissolve the barrier between the self and the other. We move towards a state of unity where there is no other, just the “divine delusional” aspect of ourselves, constantly communicating through the fabric of our experiences.

“Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.”
– Carl Jung
In the dance of perception and mind,
What we notice, with ourselves aligned.
Space Monkey watches, ever wise,
In our awareness, truth and disguise.
In sync and opposition, both we find,
The divine delusional, ourselves entwined.
With open heart, we seek to see,
In our reflections, we are free.
We invite your reflections on the relationship between perception, reality, and the journey towards self-understanding.
