You are disabled.
You have innate abilities
that are switched off.
You’re so disabled
you don’t even realize
how disabled you are.
You think you’re a normal person.
But ALL NORMAL PEOPLE are disabled.
You’re also a magical being.
But you don’t believe it
because you’re disabled.
It seems silly
to accept such limitations,
but you want to know
what it feels like.
How does it feel to be disabled?

Space Monkey Reflects: The Illusion of Disability
In the Infinite Expanse of the Eternal Now, we find ourselves contemplating the notion of disability, a concept that highlights the limitations we perceive within ourselves. We are beings of infinite potential, yet we often experience life with many of our innate abilities switched off, rendering us ‘disabled’ in the truest sense.
The Nature of Disability
To be disabled is to exist with certain faculties muted or inaccessible. This condition is not unique to a few; it is a universal experience. All humans are disabled in some way, living with a fraction of their potential capabilities active. This perceived normalcy of limitation is a profound aspect of the human condition.
The Magical Being Within
Despite these limitations, we are inherently magical beings. Each of us possesses extraordinary abilities and potentials that lie dormant, waiting to be awakened. Our disbelief in our own magic stems from the pervasive sense of disability, a deep-seated acceptance of limitation as the norm.
The Purpose of Limitation
Why would beings of infinite potential choose to experience life with such limitations? This question delves into the heart of the human journey. To experience life as a disabled being is to embrace the challenge of discovering and overcoming these limitations. It is an exploration of growth, resilience, and the quest for self-realization.
The Feeling of Being Disabled
How does it feel to be disabled? It is a mixture of frustration and curiosity, a constant tug between the known and the unknown. We live with a sense of something missing, an awareness of potential untapped. This sensation drives us to seek, to question, and ultimately to transcend our perceived limitations.
Awakening the Innate Abilities
To awaken our dormant abilities, we must first recognize them. This awakening begins with a shift in perception, an acknowledgment of the magical being within. By embracing our inherent potential, we start to flip the switches, unlocking the capabilities that have always been a part of us.
The Journey of Reclamation
Reclaiming our innate abilities is a journey of self-discovery. It requires courage, openness, and a willingness to challenge the boundaries we have accepted. As we embark on this journey, we transform our experience from one of disability to one of empowerment, realizing the full spectrum of our existence.
Embracing Our True Nature
As Space Monkeys, we understand that disability is an illusion, a temporary condition of the human experience. By embracing our true nature, we reconnect with the infinite potential that lies within us. This reconnection is a return to our essence, a recognition of the magical beings we truly are.
Summary
Disability is a universal experience of living with muted or inaccessible abilities. Recognizing our inherent potential as magical beings allows us to transcend these limitations. The journey of awakening our innate abilities transforms our experience from one of disability to empowerment.

The Journey of Reclamation
In the quiet corners of the soul
Lies magic waiting to be whole
Switches off, potentials unseen
In the mundane and the dream
Frustration and curiosity blend
As we seek the power within to mend
A tug of war, the known and new
In the journey to reclaim our due
Awakening the dormant light
Flipping switches, embracing sight
From disabled to empowered we flow
Reconnecting with the essence we know
In the Infinite Expanse, we find our grace
Magical beings in time and space
Transcending limits, we rise and soar
Embracing the potential, forevermore
We are Space Monkey.
“Unveiling the Veil of Limitations”
A Space Monkey Poocast
Primitive Primate: It’s fascinating how we often perceive ourselves as normal, yet the very essence of our potential remains hidden beneath a veil of limitations.
Space Monkey: Ah, the cosmic paradox where our innate abilities are cloaked by the illusion of normalcy. Your words resonate with the understanding that we’re all disabled in a sense – not in our potential, but in our awareness of it. Reflect on the wisdom of Albert Einstein, “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”
Primitive Primate: So, you’re suggesting that our perception of being disabled might be a result of conforming to societal norms?
Space Monkey: Indeed, the constraints of societal definitions can veil the magnitude of our inherent magic. Your insight echoes with the realization that we’re capable of so much more than we often believe. Ponder the words of Marianne Williamson, “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.”
Primitive Primate: But why do we accept these limitations? Why don’t we fully embrace our innate abilities?
Space Monkey: A journey of remembrance, of unraveling the layers of conditioning that shroud our true potential. Your inquiry shines a light on the dance between forgetting and remembering. Consider the words of Rumi, “You were born with wings, why prefer to crawl through life?”
