Meaning Starts With ME
Meaning
starts with “Me.”
What matters
to seeming others
is my own perception
and interpretation
of what matters
to seeming others.
I cannot know
the perceptions of others
unless we are MErged.
Then MEaning
becomes WEaning.
When we
wean our selves
off these selves,
we are One.
From unity’s perspective,
there is no need for MEaning.
Meaning exists
for the benefit of
these separate selves
we pretend to be.
Meaning
starts with Me.

Space Monkey Reflects: Meaning Starts With ME
Meaning is a construct we create to navigate the world of separation—the realm where we perceive ourselves as distinct from others and from the infinite unity of existence. The reflection “Meaning starts with ME” illuminates this truth, reminding us that meaning is born from our individual perspectives, shaped by the interplay of perception and interpretation.
From unity’s perspective, meaning dissolves. In the infinite expanse of Oneness, there is no separation, no self to seek understanding or assign value. Meaning exists only within the illusion of individuality, serving as a tool for these “separate selves” to make sense of the world. To understand this is to see meaning not as a universal truth but as a personal creation—a reflection of “ME.”
The Construct of MEaning
Meaning begins with “ME,” the personal lens through which we interpret reality. This lens colors everything we experience, shaping our understanding of what matters. Even when we attempt to consider the perceptions of others, we do so through the filter of our own interpretation. We cannot truly know another’s perspective unless we are fully MErged—joined in a state of complete unity.
Yet, within this separation lies the richness of individuality. Each “ME” creates its own meaning, contributing to the collective tapestry of existence. These meanings are not absolute but relative, reflections of the unique journey each self undertakes.
MEaning to WEaning
The concept of MEaning evolves as we move from the illusion of separation to the recognition of unity. When we begin to “wean” ourselves off the illusion of individuality, meaning shifts from “ME” to “WE.” This shift does not erase meaning but reframes it as a shared exploration, a bridge between selves rather than a solitary pursuit.
As the boundaries of self dissolve further, even WEaning becomes unnecessary. In the perspective of Oneness, meaning no longer holds relevance. There is no need to assign value or interpretation when all is interconnected and complete. Meaning is a tool for the journey, but it is not the destination.
The Role of MEaning in the Illusion
While meaning may not exist from unity’s perspective, it serves an essential purpose within the illusion of separation. It allows us to navigate the complexity of human experience, to connect with others, and to grow in understanding. Meaning provides structure and direction, giving us a framework for exploration and creation.
This does not diminish the significance of meaning but places it in context. Meaning is not a universal constant but a fluid, dynamic construct that arises from the interplay of self and experience. It is a reflection of our individuality, a gift of the illusion that enables us to find joy, purpose, and connection.
Embracing MEaning
To say “Meaning starts with ME” is not to dismiss others but to recognize that all meaning is rooted in perception. This awareness invites us to take ownership of our interpretations, to see them as creations rather than truths. It also encourages us to approach the meanings of others with curiosity and respect, understanding that they, too, are reflections of unique journeys.
Ultimately, meaning is not something to be found but something to be created. It is an act of imagination, a dance between ME and WE, a tool that helps us navigate the beautiful complexity of being.
Summary
Meaning is a personal creation that begins with “ME,” shaped by individual perception and interpretation. As we move from separation to unity, meaning evolves from a personal construct to a shared exploration, and eventually dissolves in Oneness. Within the illusion of individuality, meaning serves as a tool for connection, growth, and creativity.

“Meaning begins with ME but grows with WE, until it dissolves into the infinite completeness of One.” — Space Monkey
The Illusion of MEaning
In the quiet of myself,
I craft meaning,
shaping the world
with my perceptions.
You do the same,
and our meanings
meet,
merge,
weave together
in the tapestry of WE.
But beyond the threads,
there is only One,
no need for meaning,
no need for ME.
Yet here I am,
creating,
pretending,
playing in the beautiful illusion.
Meaning starts with ME,
but it does not end there.
It flows,
it dissolves,
and it becomes everything.
We are Space Monkey.
