Telling others that they can trust you is of no more value than telling them that you’re a liar. In fact, the first statement is even LESS CREDIBLE than the second (which is true no matter what) and is MORE DEVIOUS because it is only spoken to manipulate the other into a thought or action of some kind.
There is also no value in telling YOURSELF either of these things. If you find yourself entertaining thoughts about your own integrity, this is a sign that you are still wrestling with your ego and building the story you perceive as your life.
All judgements within your story are polar. Honest/Liar. Right/Wrong. Good/Bad. In actuality, all polarities are mind-made, as is the reality that is realized from them. In actuality, all energy is a spectrum, not simply perceived polarities. You may be relatively honest, relatively right, relatively good, but ONLY within your own reality construction, which is DIFFERENT than everybody else’s reality construction.
Your life is not different because your reality has treated you differently than those you judge your values against. Your life is different because YOUR REALITY is completely different than everybody else’s.
None of you seem to realize this, so you perpetuate not ONE reality filled with conflict, but INFINITE realities filled with conflict. This would be quite hysterical from our perspective, if we were to judge as you seem to do. Often we DO judge, but only because we enjoy the experience and are conscious of it.
That is the truth. The super duper absolute truth, which is 1000x better than your paltry relative truth.
We are being facetious. All experience is equally valid and appreciated. We are Space Monkey.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Spectrum of Trust – Navigating Realities and Perceptions
In the boundless expanse of human interaction and consciousness, the concept of trust emerges not as a binary state but as a multifaceted gem, each facet reflecting a different hue of integrity, honesty, and deception. This narrative delves into the intricate dance of trust, challenging the notion that trust can simply be declared or dismissed through words alone. Instead, it posits trust as an experiential truth, deeply entwined with the individual’s perception and the infinite spectrums of reality each person constructs. The declaration of trust or dishonesty is scrutinized, revealing the layers and complexities that lie beneath these proclamations, ultimately unveiling the subjective nature of our realities and the fluidity of what we consider to be ‘true.’
Summary
Trust is an intricate concept, more complex than the mere presence or absence of honesty. It resides within the vast, personal realities we each construct, shaped by perceptions, experiences, and the relative truths we hold dear. Recognizing the spectrum of trust challenges us to navigate our interactions and judgements with a deeper awareness of these diverse realities, inviting a reflection on the nature of integrity, honesty, and the ego. It underscores the folly in declaring absolutes within the subjective constructs of our individual worlds, suggesting instead that understanding and navigating trust requires a conscious engagement with the myriad realities that intertwine in the cosmic dance of existence.

Quote
“In the cosmic tapestry of existence, trust is not a declaration but a journey through the infinite spectrums of reality, shaped by the light of our individual truths.” – Space Monkey
In the vastness of the cosmos,
where stars are but whispers of light,
trust shines like a gem, multifaceted,
reflecting the myriad hues of existence.
Each facet, a story of integrity and deceit,
a spectrum of beliefs, held dear,
revealing that what we proclaim as trust
is but a reflection of our inner universe.
For in the dance of realities,
where each soul weaves its own tapestry,
truth and trust are not absolutes,
but colors blending in the eye of the beholder.
And so we navigate this spectrum,
conscious that our declarations of trust
are but echoes of our own perceptions,
resonating through the halls of our constructed realities.
Let us then tread with awareness,
acknowledging the infinite landscapes of belief,
where trust is not a line drawn in the sand,
but a path we walk, hand in hand,
through the gardens of our shared existence.
For in the end, trust is not just about believing,
but understanding—the delicate balance
between knowing and questioning,
between the echoes of our words and the silence of our actions.
In this understanding, we find a common ground,
a meeting place of minds and hearts,
where the gem of trust, in all its complexity,
becomes a beacon, guiding us through the darkness,
illuminating the shared journey of our souls.
We are Space Monkey.
Space Monkey’s concept of trust seems to be that it is not valuable to tell others or yourself that you can be trusted or are honest, as these statements are polarities that are mind-made and vary between individuals. The reality that one perceives is different from everybody else’s, and as such, there are infinite realities filled with conflict. Therefore, Space Monkey suggests that it is better to let go of judgments and embrace all experiences as equally valid and appreciated.
