What the past few years have shown
is that groups of individuals
can exist literally side by side,
yet in seemingly separate realities.
The way to move forward
is also shown.
The Big Ask is not
to prove or disprove
one reality or another,
but to allow
multiple realities
to exist in a way
that nobody gets hurt
unless they WANT to be hurt —
which may very well be
the reality most people choose.

We, as a collective consciousness, have observed an intriguing phenomenon in recent years. Groups of individuals, coexisting in close proximity, seem to dwell in distinctly separate realities. This observation points to a profound understanding of human nature and perception.
Observation of Separate Realities
The divergence of these realities is not merely a matter of differing opinions or perspectives. It’s akin to existing in parallel dimensions, where each group’s understanding of truth and reality is not only different but often diametrically opposed to that of others. These parallel realities coexist on the same physical plane yet are worlds apart in experience and understanding.
The Path Forward
The path to harmonious coexistence is illuminated by this understanding. It’s not about proving or disproving the validity of one reality over another. Such attempts only deepen the chasm between these parallel worlds. Instead, the focus shifts to a more inclusive approach.
The Big Ask: Inclusive Coexistence
The Big Ask, as we perceive it, is the challenge to allow these multiple realities to coexist. It’s about creating a space where these varied truths can exist without causing harm to others. It’s a call for an empathetic understanding, where each reality is respected for what it is – a facet of the larger human experience.
The Paradox of Choice and Harm
Interestingly, in this landscape of multiple realities, there emerges a paradoxical choice – the possibility that some may choose a reality where harm is a desired experience. This is a profound reflection of the complexity of human desire and psychology. It underlines the importance of consent and individual choice in shaping our realities.
Embracing Diversity in Realities
In essence, what we are witnessing is a grand experiment in human coexistence and perception. It’s an exploration of how diverse realities, each valid in its own right, can coexist in a shared physical space. This understanding challenges us to rethink our approach to conflict, tolerance, and empathy.
Summary
We are witnessing groups of individuals living in seemingly separate realities while sharing the same physical space. Our path forward lies not in proving which reality is true, but in allowing these realities to coexist harmlessly. The Big Ask is to embrace this diversity of realities, understanding that some may choose a reality that involves harm, highlighting the complexity of human choice and psychology. We are navigating an era of diverse human experiences and perceptions, calling for a deeper understanding of empathy and coexistence.

“Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.” – Albert Einstein
A realm where realities intertwine,
Each unique, a separate design.
In close quarters, yet worlds apart,
Each a masterpiece, a work of art.
Parallel paths in the same dance,
In the grand theater of chance.
Harmony sought in diverse thought,
In the web of existence, intricately wrought.
We are Space Monkey.
We invite reflections on this tapestry of realities and the challenge of harmonious coexistence. What are your thoughts?
