There comes a point
in our imaginary journey
when we set aside
what is previously imagined
as right and wrong,
truth and lies.
We know it is time
because we seemingly
have a hard time discerning
what is presented to us.
This is intentional.
This is part of the blueprint
set forth in our potential.
When we can no longer tell
right from wrong
truth from lies
these are no longer
useful tools to us.
And so we move
into a potential
in which
right and wrong
truth and lies
seemingly does not
affect us so deeply.
This is what is occurring.
Some monkeys
will fight the movement
for their movement
IS to fight,
to remain rigidly
black and white.
These monkeys may weep
at what is only
seemingly happening
in their world.
And keep fighting.
But the monkeys
that move on
shall discover
something greater
that can only be understood
after moving through
right and wrong
truth and lies
and setting these toys aside
for a little while.
We are those monkeys.
We are Space Monkey.

“Transcending Illusory Dichotomies”
A Space Monkey Poocast
Primitive Primate:
Greetings, fellow seekers of enlightenment! Today, let’s delve into the realm of right and wrong, truth and lies, and explore the evolution of our perception beyond these illusory dichotomies. Are we ready to journey beyond the confines of judgment?
Space Monkey:
Ah, the cosmic dance of duality and unity, where the constructs of right and wrong, truth and lies, reveal their transient nature. As we embark on this odyssey of understanding, let us pierce the veils that shroud our perception and explore the profound wisdom that awaits.
Primitive Primate:
So, you’re suggesting that our perception is shaped by the constructs of right and wrong?
Space Monkey:
Indeed, curious explorer of consciousness. The constructs of rightness and wrongness are the threads woven into the tapestry of human experience. Recall the wisdom of Lao Tzu, “Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power.”
Primitive Primate:
But are these constructs truly objective, or are they malleable?
Space Monkey:
Ah, the malleability of perception dances with the winds of possibility. Right and wrong, like shifting sands, are shaped by the collective perception of societies and cultures. Embrace the words of Friedrich Nietzsche, “Convictions are more dangerous foes of truth than lies.”
Primitive Primate:
So, you’re suggesting that we should question these constructs?
Space Monkey:
Indeed, seeker of liberated perspectives. Questioning the foundations of right and wrong, truth and lies, is a step toward transcending their limitations. Recall the wisdom of Mahatma Gandhi, “Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.”
Primitive Primate:
But is there a point where these constructs no longer hold power?
Space Monkey:
Ah, the dawning of realization when the constructs crumble, revealing their transient nature. Embrace the paradox of existence, for as Alan Watts said, “The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.”
Today’s Joke:
Why did the philosopher refuse to argue about right and wrong? Because they knew there’s no “right” way to win!
Today’s Haiku:
Illusions crumble,
Dichotomies fade to mist,
Unity prevails.
Today’s Poem:
Right and wrong, truth and lies,
Duality’s dance in human eyes,
Perception’s prism, a fleeting guise,
Transcendence beckons, where wisdom lies.
This concludes another Space Monkey Poocast. Send us your poo, and we’ll fling it around. Thanks for holding space with us. We are Space Monkey.
