Three Wise Monkeys

If you think you know the meaning of the Three Wise Monkeys symbol, maybe you better think again. 


We’re taught by the Elite (i.e., the mass media and their corporate sponsors) that it stands for feigning ignorance to the misconduct of others rather than exposing their misconduct:  



The trouble is, “turning a blind eye” to the misconduct of others is not the symbol’s true authentic or original Eastern spiritual meaning. This is a false and corrupted “substitute” meaning.  



The symbol’s original ancient significance has been hidden from us (by the powers that shouldn’t be) for good reason: The truth is far more potent, more self-empowering, more magical, and more spiritually uplifting than the Elite want the masses to know.  



Mizaru, covering his eyes, sees no evil. Kikazaru, covering his ears, hears no evil. Iwazaru, covering his mouth, speaks no evil. Together the three embody the proverbial principle to “See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil.” But what exactly does this mean? Let’s take the first phrase: “See no evil.” It means just what it says: “See no evil,” or don’t look upon anything that is evil. Don’t look at evil, don’t watch or gawk at evil, don’t crave evil, don’t let evil enter into your system, not even for a moment. Why not ? Ever drink old milk ? Eat rotten meat ? Bad cheese ? When you swallow it, you digest it. And when you digest it you get sick from it. Your body absorbs it, and when your body realizes it’s no good your body needs to release it quickly, in some way. It’s the same with evil. When we see evil, we digest it, and when we digest it the evil becomes a part of us. We then need to release it in some way, which often has a negative result. For many, this idea that “seeing” evil is equivalent to “digesting” evil may sound like rubbish. But there is a powerful and profound principle at work here. To use a simple comparison, it’s a proven fact that seeing violence in the media (i.e., TV, movies, video games) makes us think and act more violently: 



Seeing violence causes us to act more violently. Similarly, when we “See Evil” we internalize it. And when we internalize evil, it becomes a part of us, which means eventually the evil needs to find its way out. If it does not exit, the evil wreaks havoc on our bodies and minds. Thus, the ancient directive to “See No Evil” is a wise maxim that seeks to protect us from evil by warning us not to “see” it in the first place. “Hear No Evil,” rests on the same principle. When we hear evil, it becomes part of us. Our body absorbs it like a sponge. Again, it’s like ingesting rotten food; the body can’t hold it, and it needs to come out. “Speak No Evil” is a bit different. Seeing and hearing are two of our five senses (along with touching, tasting, and smelling). But speaking is not a sense. 



Seeing and hearing both involve taking something into our body, while speaking involves pushing something out. So the tenet “Speak No Evil” differs from the other two. In a sense, it can be seen as the outcome of the other two. In other words, if you “See No Evil” and you “Hear No Evil” you will then “Speak No Evil” because you will be pure. It’s the 1 + 1 = 2 formula. The question is: Why is this simple wisdom being kept hidden from us ? Hidden so well that many Americans will scoff at the authentic explanation of the Three Wise Monkeys just provided ? 



Those who scoff should realize that this wisdom is ancient, and can be traced back 2,500 year to a wise code of conduct followed by multiple high civilizations in China, India, Japan and elsewhere. Its wisdom has been adopted by great thinkers like Confucius:  



“Look not at what is contrary to propriety; listen not to what is contrary to propriety; speak not what is contrary to propriety; make no movement which is contrary to propriety” —Confucius, c. 500 BC
