𝓜𝔂 𝓜𝓸𝓶𝓮𝓷𝓽 𝓞𝓯 𝓖𝓻𝓪𝓽𝓲𝓽𝓾𝓭𝓮 - Saturday 28 June 2025

Though I did some serious rewiring already, I am starting to see how stuck I have been in that scarcity mindset.

Limiting myself for decades....

Because planning a future feels like a luxury when survival is the focus.

Here I am trying to move myself into a life of light and abundance.
Even though I think I know how I will ask for help, because my mind is limited. My knowledge is scattered, and my perspective is solely mine.

I am just me, and no matter how much I learned, I am only one human. Therefore, I need to surround myself with other humans, but which ones?

It´s just that I am not a big fan of the species; I can not undo myself from the idea that humans often are nothing more than “monkeys in clothes.”

Yes, it´s a slightly disillusioned, stripped-down viewbut look at them. Despite our technology and culture, we’re still driven by instincts, ego, tribalism, and survival.

What drives the average human life?

• Power struggles
• Group identity
• Mating behavior
• Fear

Every struggle or painful life event can probably be linked to one or multiple of those four "Monkey Traits."

How little we’ve evolved emotionally compared to how far we’ve advanced technologically. We are still mammals doing what they do on the Discovery Channel.

For years, that has been a painful discovery, and made me want to withdraw. Do a runner....but how those darn creatures are truly everywhere, and the South Pole is just too cold.

They say...don´t know who, but I guess they, in general, that we get milder when we get older.

They might be right.
Those who keep evolving will learn and will get milder, those who stop and get stuck will get sour.

Me, Myself, and I have to admit that after years of mental rebellion against “monkeys in clothes” I have decided that I can´t beat them

That I have to admit that I am one of them, and maybe one day will join them. Because I was looking at it from the wrong perspective:

“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.” – Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

Now, who will I join...
As we have a will to choose, and I am not joining the sour, screaming, mass of mammals. But I am opening up to interesting and inspiring souls, who understand we are spiritual beings in a human body.

That we are limited, that we need to learn how to connect to all we are.
How to balance that physical instinct, and the divine we carry in us.

Me, I have been a sour monkey for years, unwilling to see this. Discarding most humans for what they are, talking monkeys.

Thankfully, I saw some light, it might have been an LED or maybe a star, but something, or someone, opened up something in me. Or taught me how to open it up myself.

Instead of resenting, I will embrace them for being the most complex creature on the planet.

With complexity, we need a manual; we all know the terror of not having a manual while building that IKEA nightstand, and humans are even a little more complex....and nobody ever gave us a manual.

I, as a human, a talking monkey, am expected to go out into the world and build my manual from all the bits and pieces of experiences life throws my way.

Thank god I can talk, at least I have a way to find those pieces. And maybe it´s because I have not been looking, but to me it feels like we worked really hard on building things, and forgot ourselves.

Why is there no manual built that explains us what it means to be human, how our complexity causes duality? And all the other good stuff.

No, instead, we are taught things that will never benefit our understanding. We are too often taught those things that will make us a productive tool, not a complete human being.

Yes, it took a lifetime, but I am ready...ready to see me and my fellow monkeys exactly as they are, and preferably wearing clothes.

And gladly, I am making myself part of the monkey help manual, which sounds so much better than the myself self-help book.

Thank you for making it this far....for those who know me...or better, think they know me, this might have been a WTF moment.

There are many sides to all of us, some sides we hide, even from ourselves.
I can be an opinionated little prick, a loving father, or simply a lost soul.

“If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is: infinite.”
— William Blake, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell

Jim Morrison named The Doors after this concept. I agree that reality is filtered through our limited perceptions. But we can Break On Through to the other side.

"There are things known and things unknown, and in between are the doors."
— Jim Morrison

Our minds filter & reduce everything to a digestible and categorizable size, but in the process, we lose sight of the infinite abundance that surrounds us.
