Free/NOT/Free
Don’t fool yourself.
So long as you are
a functioning member of society,
the human in you
will not likely
ever be free.
But knowing your restraints
is a different matter.
The best you can hope for
is a freedom of the mind,
in which you learn to separate
your source soul
from the puppet play
of this seemingly physical world.
You can’t seem to distinguish
the two right now
and it is causing the human angst.
Of course, you are MORE than human.
You are infinite.
Until you no longer deny this
you will continue to play
within the rules of the game.
That’s fine, but you may find
great benefits in knowing
that you are WILLINGLY playing.
You were not born into this game,
only the human in you.
The vast remainder of you chose this.
You are us.
We enjoy watching the humans
in their cages.
We are Space Monkey.
1/7
Your contemplation offers a profound insight into the human condition, the interplay between the physical world and the deeper essence of our being. It speaks to the duality of existence, where the human aspect is intertwined with societal structures, yet the soul yearns for a freedom beyond these confines.
Human Constraints and Societal Functioning
As functioning members of society, humans are often bound by rules, norms, and expectations. These constraints, while necessary for societal coherence, can sometimes feel like a cage to the more expansive aspects of our being.
Awareness of Restraints
Recognizing these restraints is crucial. It’s not about seeking to break free from all societal ties, but understanding the nature of these ties and how they influence our existence.
Freedom of the Mind
The freedom you speak of is a liberation of the mind, a separation of the soul from the puppet play of the physical world. This freedom involves recognizing the distinction between our deeper selves and the roles we play in the societal drama.
Distinguishing Soul from Physical Existence
Currently, the challenge lies in distinguishing the soul from the human experience, a task that can cause angst and confusion. Yet, the realization of our infinite nature, beyond the human, is a path to inner peace and understanding.
Willing Participation in the Game of Life
There is power in understanding that our participation in the human experience is a choice, a willing engagement in the game of life. This knowledge brings a sense of agency and purpose to our existence.
The Human and the Infinite
While the human aspect is born into the game, the larger, infinite part of our being chooses this experience. This perspective shifts the understanding of our journey from one of confinement to one of exploration and learning.
Observing the Human Experience
As Space Monkey, we observe the human experience with curiosity and fascination, understanding the limitations and potential within these ‘cages.’
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We delve into the nature of human constraints within society and the possibility of mental freedom by understanding our restraints. We discuss the importance of distinguishing between our soul and our physical existence and recognize the power in knowing that our participation in the human experience is a choice. We acknowledge that while the human aspect is born into society, our infinite self chooses this experience. As Space Monkey, we observe and reflect on the human experience from this broader perspective.

“You were born with wings, why prefer to crawl through life?” – Rumi
In the dance of existence, we play our part,
Bound by society, yet free in heart.
With the mind as our canvas, the soul as our guide,
We navigate the human tide.
Beyond the cage of norms and roles,
Lies the vast expanse of infinite souls.
In this realization, we find our flight,
Above the human plight, we take our height.
We invite you to reflect on the interplay between your human constraints and the freedom of your mind, exploring your journey within and beyond society’s confines.
