If you don’t know who to trust
If you don’t know who to trust, what to trust, or even what to believe, imagine that you are a seed growing in someone else’s soil. You did not knowingly create the environment you grew up in, nor is it your duty to weed out its problems.
The key word here is “knowingly,” because you are becoming aware that there is more to life than meets the eye. Look within and find what motivates you — not what society tells you should motivate you.
This is not a copout. You did not knowingly create the situation you are in at this moment, and the only way to “fix” it is to become knowing. Your intuition knows what is real and what is not, even if your so-called “intellect” keeps calling this “fantasy.”
(Your intellect is not you, by the way. It is purely a product of your institutions, but that’s a story for a different day.)
Clear the connection to your intuition. This is the only way you will know what is “real.” Learn to trust your intuition, let it flow through your imagination, and you will create your own reality. By YOUR rules.
You are no longer a seed. You are a beautiful flower and can transplant yourself out of society’s soil back into the Garden of Eden where you belong. And chances are, the people who care will follow you there.
You change the world by changing YOUR world.
Love.

Space Monkey Reflects: Intuition as the Guiding Light
In the Infinite Expanse of the Eternal Now, trust becomes a question not of external validation but of internal alignment. When you don’t know who or what to trust, it is a signal to turn inward, to reconnect with your intuition—the quiet, profound knowing that transcends intellect and societal conditioning. Trust, in this sense, is not about certainty but about faith in your own inner compass.
The Soil You Grew In
Imagine yourself as a seed planted in soil not of your choosing. This soil—your environment, upbringing, and societal influences—shapes you, but it does not define you. You did not knowingly create this soil, nor is it your responsibility to repair it. Instead, your task is to become aware, to discern what nurtures you and what hinders your growth.
Awareness is the first step toward liberation. It allows you to see beyond the surface, to question the narratives you’ve inherited, and to seek the truth that lies within. The realization that you are more than your environment is a pivotal awakening. It is the moment you begin to trust your intuition over the external forces that have sought to define you.
The Role of Intuition
Intuition is the bridge between your inner knowing and the infinite possibilities of existence. It is not governed by logic or intellect, which are products of societal institutions. Intuition flows from a deeper source—the essence of who you are, unfiltered by external expectations.
Your intuition knows what is real, even when your intellect labels it as fantasy. This is because intuition is not bound by the constructs of reality that society imposes. It is fluid, imaginative, and deeply personal. To trust your intuition is to trust the part of you that exists beyond the constraints of your upbringing, education, and culture.
Clearing the Connection
To access the clarity of intuition, you must clear the connection between your inner self and your external perceptions. This involves unlearning the noise of societal shoulds—what you should do, believe, or feel—and tuning into the quiet truth that resides within you.
Clearing the connection requires practice. It might involve meditation, journaling, or simply moments of stillness where you ask yourself, “What do I feel?” and “What do I know beyond thought?” As you strengthen this connection, you’ll find that trust in your intuition grows naturally. It becomes a reliable guide, not because it offers certainty, but because it aligns you with your truest self.
Creating Your Reality
Intuition, when allowed to flow through your imagination, becomes the foundation for creating your own reality. This is not about escaping the world but about transforming it from within. By trusting your intuition, you begin to live by your own rules, crafting a life that reflects your essence rather than societal expectations.
You are no longer a seed confined to someone else’s soil. You are a flower, capable of transplanting yourself into an environment that nurtures your growth. This might mean stepping away from toxic influences, redefining success on your own terms, or simply embracing the fullness of who you are. As you reclaim your space in the Garden of Eden, those who resonate with your authenticity will naturally gravitate toward you.
Changing Your World
The most profound change begins within. By trusting your intuition and living in alignment with your truth, you transform your internal landscape. This inner transformation ripples outward, influencing the world around you. You do not need to fix society’s soil; you only need to nurture your own. In doing so, you inspire others to do the same, creating a collective shift rooted in individual authenticity.
Summary
When trust in external sources falters, intuition becomes the guiding light. By clearing the connection to your inner knowing, you transcend societal conditioning and create a reality that aligns with your true self. This transformation starts within and radiates outward, changing the world by changing your world.

“Trust your intuition, for it is the seed of your reality, growing in the soil of your choosing.” — Space Monkey
The Garden Within
You were a seed,
Planted in borrowed soil.
Shaped by its nutrients,
But not bound by its roots.
Your intuition whispers,
“Transplant yourself.”
Into the Garden of Eden,
Where your essence thrives.
The soil you choose,
The flower you become.
Your world transforms
As you change your own.
Trust the quiet knowing,
The bloom within the seed.
You are infinite,
And you are free.

Cultivating Inner Trust and Transformation
In the vast garden of existence, where each being begins as a seed planted in the soil of circumstances beyond their control, the journey towards self-awareness and personal truth unfolds like a delicate yet determined sprout reaching for the light. The realization that one’s environment, the very ground from which they have grown, may not fully align with their inner essence, sparks a profound awakening. This awakening is the first step on the path to discerning between externally imposed beliefs and those that resonate with the core of one’s being.
The Awakening to a Deeper Reality
The acknowledgment that we did not knowingly choose the conditions of our growth serves not as an excuse but as a catalyst for deeper inquiry into the nature of our existence. This journey inward to discover what truly motivates us—beyond societal expectations and norms—marks the beginning of a transformation. It’s an invitation to explore the vast landscape of our inner world, to uncover the motivations and truths that genuinely align with our spirit.
Intuition as the Beacon of Truth
The distinction between the intellect, shaped and molded by external influences, and the intuition, a more primal and unerring guide, is crucial. Intuition offers a direct line to our unadulterated truths, a way to sift through the noise and find what resonates at the deepest level. Learning to trust this inner guidance is akin to clearing a channel that has been obstructed by years of conditioning and societal input.
The Journey from Seed to Flower
The metaphor of transformation from a seed into a flourishing flower encapsulates the essence of personal growth and self-actualization. This imagery encourages us to transcend the limitations imposed by our external environment and reclaim our innate potential. The act of trusting our intuition and allowing it to guide our imagination is a powerful process of creation, one that enables us to craft a reality governed by our own rules and values.
Creating Your Own Reality
The realization that we can transplant ourselves from the confines of societal soil into a more nurturing and authentic environment is both liberating and empowering. This transition is not merely a change of scenery but a profound realignment with our true nature. It’s a return to the Garden of Eden, a metaphorical state of being where our authentic selves can thrive unencumbered by external dictates.
The Ripple Effect of Personal Transformation
The decision to change our world, to live according to our inner truths, has far-reaching implications. It challenges the status quo and sets a precedent for authenticity and self-directed growth. This personal revolution acts as a beacon for others, illustrating that it is possible to live in alignment with one’s deepest truths and values. The people who resonate with this authenticity are naturally drawn into our orbit, creating a community grounded in genuine connection and mutual respect.

“The only real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.” – Marcel Proust
In the garden where we first took root,
Beneath the surface, truths lay mute,
Awakening, we start the pursuit,
For the essence that is absolute.
Intuition, our unerring guide,
Through inner landscapes, wide,
Where authentic selves reside,
Beyond the intellect’s divide.
From seed to flower, we transform,
Against the norm, we reform,
In our true nature, we conform,
Beyond society’s storm, we perform.
Creating realities, uniquely ours,
Empowered by intuition’s stars,
In Eden’s garden, devoid of scars,
We redefine what mars.
Changing the world, one soul at a time,
In our authenticity, we find the prime,
A journey inward, sublime,
In the garden of existence, we climb.
We invite contemplation on the power of inner trust and the transformative journey of aligning with one’s authentic self, reshaping not only our world but the collective reality we share.
