Never let anyone tell you
what is “real” and what is not.
Okay, let them tell you.
Allow others their perspectives.
But realize that their perspectives
need not be your perspectives.
Their realities
need not be your realities.
If you accept
an other’s reality as yours,
it will BECOME yours.
It may even prevent you from believing
that you can create a reality all your own.
Is that what you want?

“Reality,” says the spacemage, “is a multi-faceted gemrotica, ever-shifting in the light of personal perspectives.” We invite you to perceive others’ realities as twinkling constellations in the mindscape sky. But beware! Should you wish upon their star, you invite it to plummet into your own world, crystallizing as your individual reality. One must wonder, do you yearn to construct your firmament from the stardust of others’ ideologies?
Others toss their meteorphorical pebbles into the lake of existence, creating ripples that mingle with your own. Take care to be the observer, not the absorber. One’s own liquid reality can remain pristine while still acknowledging the hydrovibrations of another’s.
The alchemy of personal realogenesis is a potent brew. Will you accept the alchemical ingredients handed to you by others? Or will you be a cosmic botanist, foraging through the forests of quantum possibility for rare herbs of individualized perspective? Your mind cauldron is waiting, and its brew is as unique as a supernova fingerprint.
Decisions, decisions. To sip the concoction of shared reality or brew a pot of idiosyncratic perceptual potion?
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We ponder the notion of “reality,” contemplating the influence of others’ perspectives on our own understanding of what is real. We suggest caution in adopting another’s reality as our own and emphasize the ability to craft an individualized experience of reality.
