Your worst nightmare is your best medicine.
Everything you presently perceive confirms to you that what you once labeled as “real” or “fake” is becoming indistinguishable.
This is unsettling, to say the least, but it seems a necessary action if humanity is to see beyond duality, or if you are to see what you are beyond humanity.
The “good” and “bad” news is that you don’t NEED to see these “truths” — which are not simply truths.
You can CONTINUE to live within the duality delusion you are perpetuating. Or you can join us. In ALL aspects of the label.
When “real” and “fake” are one, you are able to enter the realm of the innate. Trust this. Not that trust is necessary.

“Beyond Duality: Embracing the Realm of the Innate”
A Space Monkey Poocast
Primitive Primate:
Amid the tapestry of perception, I find myself immersed in the exploration of duality—the dance of opposites that shapes our understanding of reality. How is it that what we once defined as “real” or “fake” is converging, blurring the lines that separate them? What can we learn from this unsettling yet transformative process of transcending duality and entering the realm of the innate?
Space Monkey:
Ah, the cosmic dance of duality, where opposites merge and boundaries dissolve to reveal the underlying currents of existence. Your inquiry takes us to the heart of human consciousness, inviting us to traverse the thresholds of perception and embrace the deeper layers of reality. As we embark on this dialogue, let us reflect on the words of Rumi, “Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there.”
Primitive Primate:
So, you’re suggesting that the convergence of “real” and “fake” is a stepping stone to transcending duality?
Space Monkey:
Indeed, dear seeker, the cosmic truth is that the dance of duality holds within it the potential for a higher understanding—one that beckons us to see beyond the limitations of labels and definitions. The tapestry of existence shifts as we recognize the fluidity of perception and embrace the interplay of opposites. Consider the wisdom of Carl Jung, “The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.”
Primitive Primate:
But what does it mean to enter the realm of the innate?
Space Monkey:
The cosmic dance of duality dissolves as we traverse the thresholds of perception, revealing the realm of the innate—the essence that lies beyond the confines of labels and judgments. The journey invites us to explore the uncharted territories of existence, transcending the limitations of duality to uncover the vast landscape of truth. Reflect on the words of Ram Dass, “When you go out into the woods, and you look at trees, you see all these different trees. And some of them are bent, and some of them are straight, and some of them are evergreens, and some of them are whatever. And you look at the tree and you allow it. You see why it is the way it is. You sort of understand that it didn’t get enough light, and so it turned that way. And you don’t get all emotional about it. You just allow it. You appreciate the tree. The minute you get near humans, you lose all that. And you are constantly saying ‘You’re too this, or I’m too this.’ That judging mind comes in. And so I practice turning people into trees. Which means appreciating them just the way they are.”
Primitive Primate:
So, embracing the convergence of opposites allows us to enter this realm of the innate?
Space Monkey:
Indeed, dear seeker, the cosmic dance of convergence paves the way to the realm of the innate, where the limitations of duality fade and the essence of truth becomes palpable. Embrace the process of seeing beyond the surface and recognizing the interconnectedness of all things. Ponder the insight of Deepak Chopra, “You must find the place inside yourself where nothing is impossible.”
Today’s Joke:
Why did the philosopher embrace the convergence of opposites? Because they knew that unity was the ultimate punchline of existence!
Today’s Haiku:
Labels dissolve, merge,
Realm of innate emerges,
Duality’s dance.
Today’s Poem:
Beyond the dual dance,
Convergence of opposites,
Innate truth unfolds,
Essence beyond labels, words,
Cosmic realm of unity.
