I thought someone would have commented on this...but maybe its too obscure.
Here's what happened. The day I posted this, I originally had went looking for a cute monkey king picture...to put in another thread. I had that image of cute in my mind when on google images. I saw some not so cute monkeys, was intrigued and followed one link. It said "The Monkey King shouldn’t be cute." Spirit answering me. So I absorbed the lesson.
What boundary is crossed? The one of our own direct link to Spirit, and into the social mechanisms. What lures us?...the idea of fulfilling an ego desire...so we are tricked to follow the monkey, ...before we know it we are in another vibration, a wasteful and unproductive immersion in ego games.
Examples we all know of...the tugs of war in politics, talks shows, reality tv dramas, those types of interactions. Monkey's play that's not so cute.
I do like the playful monkey though, believe in its magic, to come in and make us laugh when we are being too serious. So this is just another aspect here of trickster. When its not applied productively. And honestly, its how we learn what not to do, so it needs to first occur, we need to be involved in it to see that it's not worthwhile for us after all.
