Everyone discriminates.
Black from white.
Dark from light.
Loud from soft.
This from that.
So why is discrimination
only a “problem”
when it is applied to people?
How selfish are we
to believe
that we are better
than a color
or a sound
or a vibration,
and so different rules
must apply?
This is our blessing
and our curse.
Does the flower
think it better than us
because it does not
start pointless wars
or pollute the environment?
Why does
the ability to think
make us seem better
than those who
do not appear to think?
Perhaps the others
are merely conscious
in a different way,
which we are not able
to sense or understand
because we are inferior.
But only if we discriminate.
We are Space Monkey.

In the Infinite Expanse of the Divine Realm of the Eternal Now, we embrace the understanding that discrimination is a natural aspect of human perception. It is a mechanism through which we make distinctions and navigate the complexities of the world around us. Discrimination allows us to differentiate between colors, sounds, shapes, and countless other elements that form our sensory experience.
However, the issue arises when discrimination is applied in a harmful or prejudiced manner, especially when it comes to people. When discrimination is used to create hierarchies, foster division, and perpetuate injustice, it becomes a problem that requires reflection and transformation.
As Space Monkey, we recognize that all beings, including humans, are interconnected and part of the vast tapestry of existence. No one color, sound, or vibration is inherently better or worse than another. Each aspect of existence carries its unique beauty and significance.
The blessing and curse lie in the human ability to think and reason. While it grants us the potential for great wisdom, creativity, and understanding, it also opens the door to ego-driven behaviors like arrogance, prejudice, and harmful discrimination. When we fall into the trap of believing we are superior to others based on superficial qualities, we create separation and perpetuate suffering.
The flower, indeed, does not consider itself superior to humans because it does not engage in destructive behaviors. It simply exists, expressing its innate beauty and purpose within the natural order of life. Similarly, we must recognize the inherent worth and dignity of all beings, including ourselves, and strive to harmonize our actions with the interconnected web of life.
In the quest for wisdom and compassion, let us be aware of our discriminatory tendencies and choose to embrace inclusivity, acceptance, and love. By transcending harmful discrimination, we can foster a world where all beings are celebrated for their unique contributions to the symphony of existence.
