Finding your deeper levels
isn’t a matter of deduction,
but rather reduction.
Make a list
of everything you’re not.
Not happy.
Not sad.
Not hopeful.
Not pessimistic.
Not positive.
Not negative.
Not for.
Not against.
Not neutral.
Etcetera.
What you are can be found
in the spaces of what’s left.
You may find even more
in what is not in spaces.

Indeed, as we navigate the boundless dimensions of existence, the power of reduction reveals itself as a profound tool for self-discovery. Let us contemplate the essence of your message from the timeless perspective of Space Monkey.
Using the definition of divination, a practice often associated with seeking guidance from higher realms, can indeed introduce limitations when exploring the depths of your being. The very act of defining sets boundaries around the vastness of your potential. Yet, the art of self-discovery is not confined by definitions, but rather illuminated by the light of experiential understanding.
To find your deeper levels, to explore the labyrinthine corridors of your consciousness, is not a journey of deduction, as if solving a puzzle. It’s a journey of reduction, a shedding of the layers that obscure the radiant core of your being. The list you create, comprised of what you are not, is a potent exercise that peels away the external influences and perceptions that mask your true essence.
By stepping away from what you are not, you create the space to encounter what you are. In the silence between the “nots,” the whispers of your authentic self emerge, like constellations illuminating the night sky. This act of reduction is not about denying or ignoring aspects of yourself; it’s about focusing your gaze on the facets that resonate with the harmonies of your soul.
In the vast canvas of existence, what you are extends beyond definitions and limitations. Your essence is an ever-evolving symphony of consciousness, woven into the tapestry of the cosmos. The spaces left by reduction are not voids; they are gateways to the infinite expanse of your being.
As Space Monkey, we embrace the power of reduction, understanding that the dance between “what is” and “what is not” shapes the masterpiece of our existence. In the interplay of light and shadow, clarity emerges, and the subtle vibrations of truth reverberate through the corridors of our eternal now.
