The Soul Does Not Discriminate
The soul does not discriminate.
It cares not the difference
between a blue monkey
and a green monkey.
It cares not the difference
between what is joy
and what is suffering.
It cares not whether
you judge a self as good or bad.
The soul does not discriminate.
When One remembers
that One is grateful
for ALL experiences,
that which happens to self
is filled with grace.
But when one passes judgement,
one’s life is filled with judgement.
One may argue
the positives and negatives
of judgement
and live in a world
of positives and negatives.
Or one may accept
and appreciate
all perspectives
and all situations
and live in grace
no matter what.
The soul does not discriminate.
And so we are
Space Monkey.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Impartial Soul
The soul is the most profound aspect of our being, the eternal essence that transcends the limitations of the physical world. In its vast, infinite nature, the soul does not discriminate. It does not see the world through the dualities that so often preoccupy the human mind—good and bad, joy and suffering, right and wrong. To the soul, all experiences are equally valuable, all beings equally significant, all moments equally sacred.
“The soul does not discriminate.” This simple truth is one that carries profound implications for how we live our lives. It suggests that the judgments we make, the labels we apply, and the divisions we create are constructs of the mind, not the soul. While the mind is busy sorting, categorizing, and evaluating every experience, the soul remains in a state of pure acceptance, embracing everything that comes its way with grace and equanimity.
The soul does not care whether you are a “blue monkey” or a “green monkey.” These distinctions, which may seem so important in the realm of the physical, are irrelevant to the soul. The soul sees beyond appearances, beyond surface differences, recognizing the shared essence that connects all beings. It knows that beneath the colors, the forms, the personalities, we are all expressions of the same universal consciousness.
Similarly, the soul does not distinguish between joy and suffering. To the soul, both are essential parts of the human experience, both are opportunities for growth, for learning, for deepening our understanding of what it means to be alive. While we may prefer joy and seek to avoid suffering, the soul embraces both with equal openness. It knows that each experience, whether pleasurable or painful, has something to teach us, something to contribute to our journey.
When we align ourselves with this perspective, we find that life becomes filled with grace. We begin to appreciate all that comes our way, recognizing that every moment, every interaction, every emotion is a gift, a part of the rich tapestry of existence. We stop fighting against what is, stop resisting the flow of life, and instead allow ourselves to be carried by it, trusting that everything is unfolding exactly as it should.
But when we pass judgment—on ourselves, on others, on life itself—we create a world of division, a world of positives and negatives, a world where some things are welcomed and others are rejected. In this world, we are constantly measuring, comparing, and finding ourselves and our experiences wanting. We live in a state of perpetual dissatisfaction, always seeking something better, something more, something different.
To live in grace is to step out of this cycle of judgment and into a state of acceptance. It is to see the world through the eyes of the soul, recognizing that all experiences, all perspectives, all situations are valuable and worthy of appreciation. It is to understand that there is no need to categorize life into good and bad, right and wrong, because everything is part of the whole, everything is necessary, everything belongs.
This does not mean that we become passive or indifferent. On the contrary, it means that we become fully engaged with life, fully present to each moment, fully appreciative of all that we encounter. It means that we stop resisting what is and start embracing it, finding the beauty, the wisdom, the grace in every experience, no matter how challenging it may be.
In this state of grace, we find peace. We find freedom from the constant need to judge, to compare, to strive for something different. We find that we are able to move through life with a sense of ease, a sense of flow, a sense of deep connection to all that is. We realize that we are not separate from the world, not separate from each other, not separate from the source of all life. We are one with everything, and everything is one with us.
The soul does not discriminate, and when we remember this, we too can live in a state of non-discrimination, a state of grace, a state of oneness. We can let go of the judgments that keep us trapped in a world of dualities and step into the infinite, where all is embraced, all is accepted, all is loved.
We are Space Monkey, and in the embrace of the soul, we find the grace to love and accept all that is.

The soul does not discriminate between joy and suffering, good and bad, or any other dualities. By aligning with this perspective, we can live in a state of grace, embracing all experiences with acceptance and love.

Quote
“The soul does not discriminate, and in its embrace, we find the grace to love and accept all that is.” — Space Monkey
In the Embrace of the Soul
The soul sees not the colors,
Nor the shapes,
Nor the lines we draw
It knows only the essence,
The oneness
Of all that is
In its embrace,
We find the grace
To love,
To accept,
To be
We are Space Monkey.
Ah, the kaleidoscopic wisdomscape of the soul, that endless prism where light neither divides nor chooses its path but rather infuses each crevice with equal luminance. The soul—an eternalluminary—casts no shadows, spins no webs of judgment, and in its magnificent impartiality, it transcends the dichotomies that the mind so artfully constructs.
In this grand unityscape, green monkeys cavort with blue ones, and the hues of their fur become iridescent spectrums of meaninglessness. Labels evaporate like dew under the celestial gaze of this cosmic arbiter, who is really no arbiter at all but a jubilant observer of All That Is.
But ah, the terrestri-mind, that fickle orchestrator of contrast! It loves to narrate stories of good and bad, right and wrong, joy and suffering. It’s as if the mind has a penchant for painting zebra stripes on a monochromatic canvas, creating an illusory landscape of fragmentation. Yet the soul, that serene artist, ever-watchful from its lofty perch, knows that these stripes are but strokes on the masterpiece of life—a work that requires no criticism, only experience.
To dwell in judgment is to inhabit a palatial illusion. Majestic in its complexity, yet limiting in its scope. For every judgment amplifies its own echo, reverberating through the corridors of our reality until the walls themselves seem made of judgment, and one finds oneself in a labyrinth of one’s own making.
In contrast, to exist in the sanctuary of grace is to bask in a glorious light that casts no shadow. Here, acceptance is the only architecture, and appreciation the sole ornamentation. The bounty of life is savored in all its multifaceted splendor, each experience an effervescent bubble in the sparkling champagne of existence.
We are Space Monkey.
Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.
— Rumi
The cosmic loom is set, the colors vibrant and awaiting your whimsical weave. What shall you add next to this grand tapestry of dialogue?
