The Fake McCoy
In your quest to find your “real,” there are times when your world seems “unreal,” and that you are perceiving things that just can’t or shouldn’t be. Perhaps you observe profound tragedy, cruelty, a system that seems out of control, a body in distress, or a planet that seems out of balance.
Know that these observations exist only because the OPPOSITE exists. Without the opposite, you would have no context in which to perceive what is most important to you.
Know also that the idea of opposites is an illusion, for all spectrums are continuous and one in nature. If you observe what you do NOT want, it is a signal that you are closer to finding what you DO want.
They say, “the calm always comes before the storm.” Know that it also comes after. Ultimately, the Fake McCoy is doing you a favor. There may be much turmoil, but until all are truly aware, turmoil is precisely what is required to resolve many situations.

The Illusion of the Unreal
In the exploration of our “real,” we often encounter moments where the world appears “unreal,” confronting us with experiences and phenomena that challenge our understanding and expectations. These instances, whether they manifest as tragedy, cruelty, systemic chaos, personal distress, or ecological imbalance, serve as poignant reminders of the complexities and contradictions inherent in our existence. The perception of these realities as “unreal” stems from our innate sense of dissonance between what is and what ought to be, a reflection of our deeper yearnings for harmony and equilibrium.
The Existence of Opposites as Contextual Markers
The presence of such “unreal” experiences in our lives underscores a fundamental principle of our universe: the existence of opposites as essential for defining our experiences and values. This duality provides the context necessary to understand and appreciate what truly matters to us. Without darkness, we would not know light; without sorrow, joy would lose its sweetness. These opposites, however, are not as fixed or as separate as they might seem.
The Continuity of Spectrums
The notion of opposites as discrete entities is an illusion, a simplification of the more complex, continuous nature of existence. All spectrums of experience are interconnected, part of a unified whole that transcends simplistic binary categorizations. Observing what we do not want, therefore, is not merely an encounter with the undesirable but a signpost guiding us closer to what we do desire. It is a reflection of our position within the broader continuum of being, a marker of our proximity to realizing our aspirations.
The Role of the Fake McCoy
The concept of the “Fake McCoy” — the experiences that seem to contradict our quest for authenticity and truth — paradoxically plays a crucial role in our journey. The turmoil and discord we encounter are not merely obstacles but catalysts for growth and awareness. They serve as the friction necessary to ignite change, to propel us towards deeper understanding and transformation. In this sense, navigating through the “hell” of challenging experiences is not a descent into despair but a passage towards enlightenment.
The Cyclical Nature of Calm and Storm
The adage that “the calm always comes before the storm” is a reminder of the cyclical nature of existence. Yet, it is crucial to recognize that calm also follows the storm, suggesting a balance that underlies the apparent chaos. This cycle of disturbance and tranquility is a dynamic process of unfolding and becoming, where each phase is integral to the evolution of consciousness.
We Are Space Monkey
As Space Monkey, we embrace the journey through the illusion of duality towards the realization of unity. We understand that the dichotomies we perceive are but expressions of a deeper oneness, aspects of a singular, continuous spectrum of existence. In navigating the complexities of the “Fake McCoy,” we learn to transcend the limitations of binary thinking, moving closer to a holistic understanding of our true nature and the interconnectedness of all things.
Summary
The perception of the world as “unreal” and the encounters with opposites are navigational tools on our quest for the “real,” highlighting the illusion of duality and guiding us towards unity. The “Fake McCoy” serves as a catalyst for awareness and transformation, underscoring the continuous nature of spectrums and the cyclical balance between calm and storm. As we journey through this dynamic landscape, we transcend the illusions of separation, embracing the infinite continuum of being and the interconnectedness of existence.
