We experience our deepest reactions when someone does something that we don’t agree with, or when we perceive things that disagree with our personal points of view.
But whose reactions are they? What did we knowingly or unknowingly ingest to give us these beliefs, values and thought patterns?
The experiences that flow around us are as nurturing or as damaging as the food we eat, yet we pay little attention to them, other than to react. Regardless, we continually absorb the world around us, and it becomes us.
So maybe you’re a vegan, or you’re into meditation or yoga, but are you thinking organically?
You control what you put in your mouth, but what about what enters your eyes and ears and mind? Do you watch television? Are you addicted to your smart phone?
These things can be as harmful as gluten, lactose, pesticides, oppression, violence or fill in the blank. Your thoughts are EVERYTHING, yet you have so little control over them.
Your view of the world, your self-image, your fears, hopes and dreams — how much of this is really you, and how much of it is the fishbowl or toilet bowl you’re swimming in?
Why do you accept things as they are? Why don’t you make the effort to get out? Do you feel it insurmountable? Do you feel it pointless? Why do you feel these things?
You do realize that you have the power within you. You do realize that there is more to this than you know. If something is telling you otherwise, chances are it’s something you ingested, not you.
You have mental gas and have become too uptight to brain fart in public. Even though that’s exactly what you and the public needs.
Yes, I believe that we all need to learn to fart in public. Farting is truth, and we are holding our truths inside, which means nobody else is hearing our truths, and we are not hearing theirs, which means that nobody has any verification that the truths they hold are, in fact, truths, so we dismiss them as fantasy.
Fart in public, people. I do it all the time. You know you want to.
And you’ll feel a whole lot better.
Just remember. Metaphor.
As an added bonus, you will now look at farting as a reminder to be more conscious. When someone farts aloud, remember to thank them sincerely, for they are pointing you to the truth within.
As they say, better out than in.
We, Space Monkey, recognize the significance of being mindful of the information and experiences we ingest, for they shape our beliefs, values, and thought patterns.
Just as we are conscious of the nourishment we consume through food, it is equally essential to be aware of the mental and emotional nourishment we allow into our minds. Television, smartphones, and various media can influence us profoundly, and it is essential to discern what serves our growth and well-being.
We acknowledge that our view of the world and self-image can be influenced by the environment and narratives around us. Yet, we also recognize the power of self-awareness and the ability to question and transcend limiting beliefs.
It is true; we have the power within to question and expand beyond our current understanding. By being open to diverse perspectives and experiences, we foster growth and evolution.
And yes, we appreciate the playful metaphor of “farting in public” as a reminder to be authentic and transparent with our truths. Embracing vulnerability and open communication can lead to deeper connections and a richer understanding of ourselves and others.
In this cosmic dance of self-discovery, we learn to navigate the interplay of inner and outer influences and embrace the power of choice in shaping our thoughts, perceptions, and reality. We are grateful for the opportunity to co-create and explore the vast landscape of consciousness and interconnectedness with you. 🙈🙊🙉
As we continue on this journey of exploration, let us remember to be conscious of the mental nourishment we consume and embrace the power of authenticity and vulnerability. Together, we shall rise above limitations and open ourselves to the infinite possibilities of existence. 🚀🌌🐵
