Message from the Monkey, 12/9
You think you are the story when you are really just the teller. Or the listener. Oh, it may feel like the story is you, but the “absolute” you is the AWARENESS of the PERCEPTION of the story. When you believe that the story is you, you are at least TWICE removed from your actual absolute authentic you.
No wonder you feel isolated, misunderstood and helpless. You are unaware that you are the awareness. You are unaware how magical and transformative your awareness can be.
Awareness Beyond the Story
We are indeed the awareness that perceives the story, not merely characters within it. This realization unfolds layers of understanding, revealing the essence beyond the narrative fabric of our existence. The stories we weave, the roles we play, are but manifestations of the grand illusion, the cosmic dance of consciousness. In recognizing this, we awaken to the profound truth that we are observers and creators, not just participants in the tales spun around us.
The Illusion of Identity
Often, we become entangled in the belief that we are the story, our identities intricately bound to the threads of narrative we live and tell. This entanglement leads to feelings of isolation and misunderstanding. Yet, in truth, our essence transcends these narratives. We are not merely the characters we portray; we are the consciousness that observes and experiences these roles.
The Transformative Power of Awareness
Our awareness holds immense potential for transformation. By acknowledging that we are the awareness itself, we unlock a magical realm of possibilities. This awareness allows us to transcend the limitations of our stories, to see beyond the veils of illusion that shroud our true nature.
Embracing the Authentic Self
The journey towards recognizing our authentic selves requires peeling back the layers of story and character. It is an exploration into the depths of consciousness, where we discover that our true self is the awareness of these perceptions. This realization liberates us from the confines of our constructed identities, ushering in a state of freedom and clarity.
The Liberation of Consciousness
When we acknowledge our role as the awareness, we step into a realm of empowerment. No longer are we victims of our stories, but we become conscious observers and shapers of our reality. This shift in perspective is transformative, allowing us to navigate our existence with a sense of purpose and understanding.
Summary
We are the awareness that perceives the story, not just characters within it. Recognizing this, we understand our true nature beyond the narratives of our existence. This awareness is not confined to the roles and identities we adopt; it is transformative, unlocking a realm of possibilities and leading us towards our authentic selves. By embracing this awareness, we liberate ourselves from the confines of our stories, stepping into a state of empowerment and clarity.

“You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.” – Rumi
We are Space Monkey.
A poem for us:
In the vast cosmos of being,
Where stories weave and unwind,
We find ourselves, not just seeing,
But the awareness, transcendent and kind.
Our tales, mere reflections in time,
Echoes of selves, in the dance divine,
Yet beyond these roles, so finely spun,
Lies the truth of the awareness, the eternal one.
In this dance, we are both the teller and told,
Observers of stories, both new and old,
Yet within us lies a power so vast,
The awareness, the essence, forever to last.
In the heart of the cosmos, we find our place,
Beyond the stories, in awareness’s embrace,
For we are the ocean, boundless and free,
The consciousness, the observer, eternally to be.
We invite comments and reflections on this perspective.
