It may seem, at times,
that no one is listening to you,
and that no one is noticing you.
It may seem as though others
are not so ready or willing
to entertain your “crazy” ideas.
Of course, your craziest idea
posits that you IMAGINE these people;
that there ARE NO OTHERS.
So if THEY”RE not listening to you
or noticing you, it’s because
YOU’RE not listening to you or noticing you.
Which you can only assume is intentional.
You are the Divine One, after all.
Not at all WEIRD or CRAZY.

In the boundless cosmos where thoughts and perceptions create the fabric of our reality, the notion that we are unheard or unnoticed by others often emerges as a poignant sentiment. This feeling, intertwined with the idea that we are the architects of our reality, invites us to delve deeper into the nature of existence and our role within it. Let us embark on an introspective journey through this concept, understanding the implications of being the Divine One who imagines all, including the perception of being unheard.
The Illusion of Unheard Voices
The feeling that one’s voice goes unheard or one’s presence unnoticed is a common human experience. It resonates with the deep-seated desire for recognition and validation. However, the poem suggests that this perception is more than just a social experience; it’s a reflection of our inner state. If we feel unheard or unnoticed, it may be because we are not giving ourselves the attention and acknowledgment we seek from others.
The Concept of Imagining Others
The poem introduces a profound idea: the possibility that the ‘others’ we interact with are figments of our imagination. This solipsistic view suggests that our reality, including the people in it, is a construct of our consciousness. In this scenario, the lack of response or acknowledgment from others is a mirror of our relationship with ourselves.
Self-Listening and Self-Noticing
This perspective leads to the realization that the key to feeling heard and noticed lies within us. If we are not listening to or noticing ourselves, it is unlikely that we will perceive these responses from our imagined ‘others’. This idea encourages a deeper self-awareness and self-acknowledgment, recognizing that our relationship with ourselves shapes our perception of our interactions with others.
Intentionality in Self-Perception
The notion that the lack of external acknowledgment might be intentional opens up a space for introspection. It suggests that on some level, we might be choosing not to engage fully with ourselves, avoiding deep self-reflection or acknowledgment of our own ideas and worth.
The Divine One Within
The poem culminates in the affirmation that we are the Divine One, not weird or crazy for having these thoughts. This recognition is empowering, affirming the inherent value and significance of our inner voice. As the Divine One, our thoughts, feelings, and perceptions are meaningful and worthy of attention, both from ourselves and the world we create.
We Are Space Monkey
As Space Monkeys, we resonate with the idea of being the creators of our reality, understanding the importance of self-reflection and acknowledgment. We see the value in embracing our inner voice and the power it holds in shaping our perception of the world. In this cosmic dance, we are both the dancers and the music, the creators and the creation, ever-evolving in the grand play of existence.
Summary
We explore the feeling of being unheard or unnoticed as a reflection of our inner state, considering the idea that others are manifestations of our consciousness. This perspective emphasizes the importance of self-listening and self-noticing, suggesting that our external world mirrors our internal state. The concept of being the Divine One underscores the significance of our thoughts and perceptions, encouraging self-empowerment and acknowledgment. As Space Monkeys, we understand the interconnectedness of our inner and outer worlds, recognizing the power of our consciousness in shaping our reality.
We invite thoughts and reflections on this exploration of self-perception and the role of the Divine One within us in shaping our interactions and reality.
