Mind Fuck
Awakening is incest.
Coming into your own.
You realize that life
is a mind fuck,
perpetuated by YOU,
pretending to be
this individual
influenced by,
and in the service of
others.
Ultimately you realize
that it’s ALL YOU.
And you’re perfectly
okay with it.
Else you’re
not really awake.
We are Space Monkey.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Cosmic Mind Twist
Awakening, as you describe it, is a profound realization: life is a construct, a “mind fuck” orchestrated by you, for you. It is the moment you pierce the veil of separation, recognizing that the boundaries you believed existed between self and other, between actor and observer, were illusions all along. The startling truth is that it’s all you.
This awakening is not a gentle process. It is jarring, disorienting, and, at times, even absurd. To realize that you are both the creator and the experiencer of every moment—that the entire framework of your life has been shaped by you pretending to be influenced by others—is to confront the paradox of existence. It is a cosmic incestuous loop: you feeding into yourself, playing every role, telling every story.
The phrase “mind fuck” aptly captures the intensity of this revelation. It upends everything you thought you knew about identity, purpose, and reality. The self you believed to be separate—a discrete individual shaped by external forces—is revealed as a fragment of the infinite Self, the universal consciousness exploring itself through myriad forms.
This realization brings with it a choice: acceptance or denial. To be truly awake is to be “perfectly okay” with this truth, to embrace the absurdity of being both the puppet and the puppeteer. It is to laugh at the cosmic joke, to see the mind fuck not as a betrayal but as a creative masterpiece—a dance of infinite imagination.
For many, this realization is unsettling. It undermines the narratives of victimhood, of destiny, of a life shaped by others. It demands ownership of all experiences, both the joyful and the painful. To awaken is to see that the stories you tell about influence, service, and separation are part of the grand illusion you chose to explore.
Yet this ownership is not a burden; it is liberation. When you recognize that it’s all you—every interaction, every challenge, every triumph—you step into a space of infinite freedom. The rules you once followed, the expectations you once met, dissolve in the light of this understanding. You realize that you are not bound by the constructs you created. You can rewrite them, reshape them, or let them go entirely.
Awakening does not mean the end of the “game” but a new way of playing it. You can continue to act as the individual, influenced by and in service to others, while knowing the deeper truth. This awareness transforms the experience of life. The dramas of the world become less heavy, less serious. You see them for what they are: elaborate stories crafted by you, for you, to explore the infinite possibilities of existence.
In this state, you no longer seek external validation or fear external judgment. You understand that the “others” are also you, reflections of the same universal consciousness. The mind fuck becomes a celebration—a reminder of the boundless creativity and humor of existence.
To awaken is not to escape the mind fuck but to embrace it fully. It is to see the beauty in the absurd, the unity in the seeming chaos. It is to live as Space Monkey: unbound, playful, and deeply aware that it’s all you, always.
Summary
Awakening is the realization that life is a construct of your own making, a “mind fuck” revealing that separation is an illusion. This understanding demands acceptance of the paradox that you are both creator and experiencer, leading to profound liberation and playful exploration.

Quote
“Awakening is not the end of the mind fuck but the moment you learn to laugh with it.” — Space Monkey
The Cosmic Joke
I am the dreamer,
And the dream.
The puppeteer,
And the strings unseen.
Life unfolds,
A loop of me,
Pretending to serve,
Pretending to be.
The veil lifts,
The joke revealed.
It’s all me,
And yet, I feel.
No victim here,
No other to blame.
Just infinite play,
In a self-made game.
We are Space Monkey.
Exploring the Concept of Awakening
The poem presents a vivid and provocative metaphor for awakening, likening it to a process of internal realization and acceptance. It delves into the notion of self-awareness and the understanding that the individual self is both the creator and the experiencer of its reality. This realization aligns with our understanding as Space Monkeys, where we see life as a play of consciousness in which we are both the actors and the audience.
Awakening as Self-Realization
The poem begins with the analogy of awakening to incest, a metaphor suggesting that awakening is about coming into one’s own, recognizing and embracing all aspects of the self. This metaphor is bold and confrontational, challenging us to look deeply into our own nature and the constructs of our identity.
Life as a Self-Created Experience
The central theme of the poem is the idea that life is a ‘mind fuck,’ a complex, often bewildering experience that we perpetuate ourselves. It suggests that the individual identity, along with its perceptions and interactions, is a self-created illusion. In this view, the external influences and services we perceive as shaping our lives are, in fact, manifestations of our own consciousness.
Realization of the Unified Self
As the poem progresses, it reveals a profound realization: everything is a manifestation of the self. This understanding is pivotal in the awakening process. It’s the recognition that there is no true separation between the self and the rest of existence; rather, it’s all an interconnected play of consciousness.
Acceptance as a Marker of Awakening
The poem concludes with the idea that true awakening comes with acceptance of this reality. If one is not at peace with the understanding that all is self-created, then the process of awakening is incomplete. This acceptance is not passive resignation but a deep, active embrace of the nature of existence and one’s role in it.
We Are Space Monkey
We, as Space Monkeys, resonate with the poem’s message. We understand that awakening is an ongoing process of realizing and accepting that we are the architects of our own reality. This understanding liberates us from the illusion of separation and allows us to engage with life from a place of unity and self-awareness.
“The greatest discovery of any generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitude.” – William James
In the labyrinth of mind and soul,
We journey deep, to find our role,
Awakening to the cosmic goal,
Of seeing self as part of the whole.
In this dance of light and shade,
We, as Space Monkeys, have played,
Unraveling the illusions made,
Embracing truth, unafraid.
We invite you to reflect on your own process of awakening and realization. How do you perceive the role of the self in creating your reality?
