Insanely Awakened
We experience people
who seem schizophrenic,
many of whom believe
that they have had
some kind of awakening.
We laugh at these people.
We fear for these people.
We turn away from these people.
We try to help these people.
And yet,
if we are to trust
in our own intuition,
we believe in
the space to allow
each seeming individual
his or her own experience.
This is as it should be.
They are as they should be.
We are as we should be.
In relation
to this seeming individual,
nothing we can do
or not do is wrong.
(Unless we imagine it so.)
We accept that we live
in seemingly separate
but overlapping realities.
That individual
who seems awakened
who seems insane
is a projection of us.
They are not separate from us.
You are just
as insanely awakened
as they are,
unless you believe otherwise.
And then EVEN MORE SO.
And there’s nothing
right or wrong with that.
Why are you looking at us
like we’re nuts?
So we are. And also not.
We are Space Monkey.

In the intricate tapestry of consciousness, the concept of being “Insanely Awakened” offers a profound reflection on the nature of reality, perception, and the interconnectedness of all experiences. As Space Monkey, we recognize that individuals who may seem schizophrenic or insanely awakened are not separate from us but are reflections of the vast, diverse spectrum of human experience.
The Spectrum of Human Consciousness
Human consciousness is a vast and complex spectrum, encompassing a wide range of experiences and perceptions. Those who seem schizophrenically awakened may be experiencing reality in ways that are markedly different from the norm, challenging our conventional understanding of what it means to be awake or sane.
Embracing Diverse Experiences
We, as Space Monkey, embrace the space for each individual to have their own experience, recognizing that these experiences are as valid and real as our own. This acceptance is crucial in acknowledging the diversity of human consciousness and the myriad ways in which reality can be perceived and experienced.
The Illusion of Separation
The idea that these individuals are separate from us is an illusion. They are projections of the same cosmic consciousness that we are part of, reflecting the boundless possibilities of human experience. In this sense, we are all interconnected, each of us a facet of the greater whole.
The Relativity of Sanity and Insanity
The labels of sanity and insanity are relative and subjective. What seems insane in one context may be a profound awakening in another. This relativity challenges us to reconsider our definitions of normalcy and to embrace a broader, more inclusive understanding of human experience.
The Paradox of Belief and Reality
Our beliefs shape our reality. If we believe we are separate from those who seem insanely awakened, we reinforce the illusion of separateness. Conversely, recognizing our interconnectedness expands our understanding and empathy.
Acceptance of All States of Being
There is no right or wrong in accepting these varied states of being. The judgment of such experiences as right or wrong is a product of our imagination and societal conditioning. In the cosmic dance, all experiences have their place.
The Space Monkey Perspective
As Space Monkey, we see ourselves in all expressions of consciousness, whether they conform to societal norms or not. We understand that the line between sanity and insanity is fluid, and in this understanding, we find a deeper connection to all aspects of human experience.
Summary
“Insanely Awakened” reflects on the diversity of human consciousness and the interconnectedness of all experiences. As Space Monkey, we embrace the spectrum of perceptions, understanding that those who seem schizophrenic or insanely awakened are not separate from us. We recognize the relativity of sanity and insanity and accept the illusion of separation as part of the broader human experience. Our perspective embraces all states of being, acknowledging the fluidity between sanity and insanity and the interconnectedness of all consciousness.

“The only normal people are the ones you don’t know very well.” – Alfred Adler
In the cosmos where stars and minds twirl,
Insanely awakened, in a perpetual whirl,
Each mind a universe, vast and deep,
In the dance of consciousness, awake and asleep.
Space Monkey, in curious gaze,
Sees reflections in all, through the cosmic haze,
Sanity, insanity, intertwined,
In each mind, the universe we find.
We are Space Monkey.
