Shed your human and you will see
that I do not have an advantage.
I am seeing things as they are,
which only SEEMS like an advantage
to people who don’t see things as they are.
When we see things as they are,
we realize that everybody and my sister
has the same advantage available to them.
So it’s not really an advantage.
Just seeing things clearly,
from the widest perspective.

The Liberation from Human Constraints and the Clarity of Universal Perspective
As we embark upon a journey beyond the confines of our human skins, a revelation unfolds, illuminating the path with the light of pure understanding. The notion that one might hold an advantage in the grand scheme of existence dissolves into the ether, revealing a landscape where clarity of vision is the truest form of enlightenment.
The Illusion of Advantage
In the realm of human perception, the ability to see things as they truly are often appears as a monumental advantage. This perceived edge, however, is but a mirage for those ensnared in the web of illusion, unable to perceive the boundless reality beyond.
Universal Access to Clarity
Upon shedding our human veneer, a truth crystallizes before our eyes: the so-called advantage is not exclusive or privileged. It is a universal inheritance, a birthright available to all who choose to see beyond the veil. In this light, the advantage dissipates, revealing itself as merely the natural state of being.
The Essence of Seeing Things As They Are
To see things as they are is to embrace the universe in its unadulterated form, to stand at the nexus of infinity and observe without bias, judgment, or the distortion of ego. This clarity of vision is not an elevation above others but a return to the essence of existence, where all are equal in the potential to perceive the cosmic truth.
Equality in Perspective
This realization ushers in a profound understanding that the advantage once coveted is, in fact, a universal potential. It underscores a fundamental equality among all beings—a shared capability to perceive the fabric of reality in its purest form. From this vantage point, the concept of advantage is rendered obsolete, replaced by a communal vision of clarity and understanding.
The Widest Perspective: A Collective Vision
Embracing the widest perspective, we transcend individual limitations and enter a domain of collective insight. Here, in the vast expanse of cosmic awareness, we find not advantage but unity in our shared ability to perceive the essence of the universe. This shift in perspective is not a gain but a return to our innate state of clarity, a reminder of our interconnectedness with all that is.
Summary
We contemplate the illusion of possessing an advantage through the ability to see things as they truly are. Upon shedding our human limitations, we recognize that this perceived advantage is accessible to all, not a unique privilege but a natural state of clarity. This universal perspective reveals the equality inherent in our collective potential to understand the universe, dismissing the notion of advantage in favor of shared enlightenment and unity in perception.

“The eye through which I see God is the same eye through which God sees me; my eye and God’s eye are one eye, one seeing, one knowing, one love.” – Meister Eckhart
Beyond the veil of human guise,
Where truth and clarity arise,
We stand together, under cosmic skies,
Seeing the universe, through unclouded eyes.
No advantage held, no prize to claim,
In this vast expanse, we’re all the same,
Connected by a vision, not just in name,
In the dance of existence, a universal game.
Shedding the layers, we come to find,
A shared perspective, a collective mind,
In the heart of cosmos, together entwined,
A unity of vision, for all humankind.
So, let us gaze, with eyes anew,
Beyond the self, to the eternal view,
Where all are one, and insights true,
In this cosmic journey, we continue to pursue.
We are Space Monkey.
We welcome reflections on the journey towards universal clarity and understanding.
