Satori - The Disturbing Mind-Reading Monkey - Japanese Mythology

Satori is a yokai from Japanese mythology, known for its ability to read minds. Inhabiting the mountains, it takes the form of a monkey. By reading thoughts, Satori causes fear and confusion in people. It represents the concern with the unknown and the anxiety of having one's most intimate thoughts revealed.

Makes sense some people would be paranoid about their thoughts getting out back then. I wonder what other mind reading things there are in different mythologies

[@I.love.you.ways777]

How does it make sense ?

[@ghostwarrior0329]

@@I.love.you.ways777 because people where much more superstitious back then do to a lack of understanding of how the universe works. So given our tendency of thinking up creatures, spirits, and demons to explain away things or to scare children into doing what we wanted of them. It makes sense to me that this particular demon was born out of paranoia. I mean who wouldn't be a little nervous for having treasonous thoughts in a time when executions for such a thing where so common. Add a little superstition and one can easily see how people would worry about their deepest thoughts getting out because of a demon or something of the sort.

Satori is "the enlightment" achieved after a long meditation process on either buddhism religion or zen philosophy...

0:00 So that's Satori it looks like monkey lives in the Japanese mountains. 0:30 Satori to touch a man head at bed. 0:54 🤔 Two people appear to Satori camp fire at night had a talk even offer advice guidance or glimpse of the future. 👏👏 Now that was totally impressive story of Satori The Disturbing Mind-Reading Monkey in Japanese Mythology history.

Seems to me like it would only be harmful to those who have harmful thoughts.

[@beastkeeper2517]

Reading minds just like pegasus with his millennium 👁️

[@insanemakaioshin]

Further proof that Kami & Yokai are the same thing. I'd be surprised there aren't shrines worshipping Satori as Kami of therapy & self-discovery.
