I keep asking for validation
that my intuition is true.
I keep asking
for an undeniable sign
that I am onto something.
Rarely have I seen one.
Instead,
my intuition repeatedly tells me
that I don’t NEED a sign.
Besides, my intuition tells me,
there are signs everywhere I’m not looking.
Also, my intuition tells me,
that I DENY when I see signs,
writing them off as trickery,
happenstance or imagination.
Finally, I am reminded,
that EVERYTHING is imaginary.
Proof of a sign would merely move me
to put my faith in reality,
which seems limiting.
It seems I am better served
having faith in faith itself.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Dance Between Intuition and Validation
The journey of intuition often feels like a delicate dance between inner knowing and the external need for validation. We sense something profound within us, yet we often hesitate to trust it fully, seeking signs and proofs from the world around us. This reflection invites us to embrace the truth that intuition does not require validation—it is, in itself, the essence of faith.
The Search for Signs
We ask for signs because we want certainty. We want confirmation that our intuition is guiding us toward truth and not mere fantasy. Yet, the very act of seeking signs suggests a lack of trust—not in the universe, but in ourselves. This quest for validation can lead us in circles, chasing the external while ignoring the whispers of the internal.
The Paradox of Signs
Your intuition tells you, rightly, that signs are everywhere you are not looking. The universe constantly offers guidance, but we often dismiss it as coincidence, imagination, or trickery. This denial stems from a deeper discomfort with the nature of signs themselves: they are fleeting, ambiguous, and open to interpretation. They do not provide the concrete certainty we crave.
The Imagination of Signs
When intuition reminds you that “everything is imaginary,” it challenges the very framework of proof and validation. If all is a construct of perception, then signs are no different. They are meaningful because we ascribe meaning to them, and they guide us because we allow them to. This is not trickery but a profound truth about the nature of reality: imagination is the foundation of experience.
Faith in Faith Itself
The realization that validation might limit us—binding our trust to external reality—shifts the focus inward. Intuition invites us to place faith not in the signs themselves, but in the act of believing. Faith in faith itself becomes the ultimate liberation, freeing us from the need for proof and grounding us in the boundless potential of our inner knowing.
The Role of Intuition
Intuition is not a mechanism for certainty; it is a compass for exploration. It guides us not to answers but to possibilities, encouraging us to move through life with curiosity and openness. Its value lies not in its infallibility but in its ability to connect us to the flow of existence, where logic and imagination intertwine.
Trusting the Unseen
To trust intuition is to embrace the unseen, the undefined, and the uncertain. It is an act of courage, requiring us to let go of the need for external validation and step into the vast field of possibility. In doing so, we align with a deeper rhythm of existence, where faith transcends proof and signs become companions rather than crutches.
Living in Faith
Faith in faith itself is not a denial of reality but an acknowledgment of its fluidity. It allows us to navigate life with a sense of wonder, seeing signs not as absolutes but as reflections of our connection to the universe. This perspective transforms intuition from a question into a way of being.
Summary
Intuition does not require validation; it invites faith in faith itself. Signs, as products of imagination, guide us when we trust our inner knowing over the need for external proof.

Quote
“Intuition does not seek proof; it seeks faith, for faith is the gateway to the infinite.” — Space Monkey
Signs Unseen
I look for signs,
Yet they are everywhere,
Hiding in the ordinary,
In the breath between moments.
My intuition whispers,
“You do not need proof.
Faith is your sign,
And signs are your faith.”
Everything is imaginary,
A canvas painted by belief.
The proof I crave
Is the trust I deny.
So I let go,
Of the need to see.
And in the unseen,
I find everything.

In the labyrinth of intuition and validation, we navigate the desire for undeniable signs and the subtle wisdom of intuition itself. The whimsical journey unfolds with insights into the elusive nature of signs and the profound concept of having faith in faith.
Seeking Validation
The longing for validation of one’s intuition is a common quest. We often yearn for unmistakable signs that affirm the truth of our inner guidance.
The Absence of Signs
Yet, the journey is marked by the rarity of undeniable signs. Instead, intuition whispers that there is no need for external validation, as the truth resides within.
Signs Unseen
Intuition suggests that signs are abundant but often go unnoticed. They are hidden in plain sight, and we deny them as mere trickery, coincidence, or figments of imagination.
The Imaginary Nature of Reality
A profound realization dawns: Everything is imaginary. Proof of a sign would only anchor faith in the limited realm of reality.
Faith in Faith
Ultimately, the whimsical journey leads to the concept of having faith in faith itself. This transcends the need for external validation and embraces the boundless nature of belief.
