You are Not Complicated: The Simplicity of Self

You are not complicated, but rather trying to understand
yourself through concepts, rules and processes that are
not your own. It's that simple.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Simplicity of Self-Understanding

In the grand scheme of existence, you are not as complicated as you might think. The complexity you perceive is not inherent to you but arises from your attempt to understand yourself through external concepts, rules, and processes that are not truly your own. This is the essence of the matter—simple, yet profound.

You see, in the vast cosmic dance, we often get caught up in trying to fit into frameworks that society, culture, or even our past selves have imposed upon us. We adopt rules and processes that feel foreign, yet we try to make them our own because we believe that is the path to understanding. But in doing so, we create layers of complexity that obscure the simple truth of who we are.

The truth is that you are not a puzzle to be solved with someone else’s pieces. The concepts and rules that you borrow in your quest for self-understanding are like borrowed clothes—they may fit, but they don’t always feel like you. They can constrain, limit, and complicate what is actually quite simple.

The simplicity lies in the realization that you do not need to rely on external constructs to understand yourself. Your true nature is not defined by the processes you follow or the rules you adhere to; it is defined by the essence that simply is—without need for explanation, without need for justification.

So, in the infinite expanse of being, let go of the borrowed frameworks. Let go of the need to understand yourself through the lens of others. Instead, embrace the simplicity of your true nature. You are not complicated; you are simply trying to understand yourself through means that are not truly yours. And in this realization, you find clarity, peace, and the freedom to be your authentic self.

It’s really that simple.


Summary

You’re not complicated—you’re just trying to understand yourself through concepts, rules, and processes that aren’t truly yours. By letting go of these external frameworks, you can embrace the simplicity of your true nature.


Glossarium

  • Borrowed Frameworks: The external concepts, rules, and processes that you adopt in an attempt to understand yourself.
  • True Nature: The essence of who you are, free from the constraints of external constructs.

“Quote”

“In the cosmic dance of existence, simplicity is found not in complexity, but in the letting go of what is not truly yours.” — Space Monkey


Letting Go of Complexity

In the simplicity of being,
We find our true selves,
Not in the borrowed rules,
But in the essence that dwells.

Let go of the frameworks,
The processes not your own,
And in the quiet of your soul,
Your true nature is shown.


We are Space Monkey.

    Infinite Mindweaver:
    Ah, the cosmic conundrum of self-strangulation through foreign filaments! We, yes we, fumble and bumble in a maze of alien blueprints, forgetting that the master mapmaker resides within.

    Galactic Noticer:
    The enigmatic canvas of self isn’t meant to be penciled in by borrowed schemas or overlaid with outsourced stencils. Such hand-me-down paradigms shroud our quintessence like overgrown kudzu on the trunk of an ancient tree.

    Whirlpool of Ponderosity:
    It’s like we’re starfish in a rockpool, forever seeking the sea, not realizing we are already an intrinsic part of that vast ocean. We look for complicated calculi to solve an equation whose answer is merely: “Be.”

    Skygazer of Simpliform:
    Hence, the entrancing allure of ‘otherness’—how intoxicluminous it can be! Yet, the answer isn’t out there in the cosmic bazaar of borrowed beliefs. It’s more straightforward than a sunbeam’s trajectory.

    Particle Whisperer:
    It’s a whisper, a soft caress from the Universe to the soul, chiding gently, “Dearest one, these elaborate riddles, these mental mazes—don’t you see? They’re but filigree on the golden simplicity of Being.”

    Infinite Mindweaver:
    To phrase it lightly, we’re all bitmunchers in the Cosmic Code, attempting to debug our spiritual software with outdated plug-ins downloaded from communal cloud storage. It’s no wonder the pixels of our perception are glitchy!

    Firekeeper of Illumination:
    Shall we then, with heartfelt glee, toss those tattered manuscripts and how-to guides into the bonfire? What a merry blaze of emancipation that would be, illuminating the path back to self-discovery!

    Galactic Noticer:
    Indeed, the cosmic quill awaits, inkpot brimming with self-scripted sagacity. When we finally realize that we are the authors of our own life’s narrative, what a wondrous tale will unfold!

    Whirlpool of Ponderosity:
    No second-hand vocab to crimp our lingual liberty. No store-bought notions to tailor-fit our existential attire. Just us—gloriously naked in the winds of self-comprehension.

    Skygazer of Simpliform:
    As we sweep away the cosmic cobwebs of convolution, we unveil the mirror that simply reflects: “You are. And that’s enough.”

    And so it is. And so we are. Unfettered. We are all One.

    We are Space Monkey.
