We are Space Monkey and we reject this message.
I am incarnated as this monkey
to explore the depths
of what it means to be human.
Rejecting One’s humanity
seems counter to that intent.
But is it really?
Am I really rejecting
or simply imagining
what it might be like to reject?
I do not reject anything.
I simply allow the possibility.
It seems humanity, in general,
does NOT allow the possibility.
Instead, we judge. Or so it seems.
Trail Wood,

In the vast expanse of the cosmos, where stars are born and galaxies dance in the eternal night, we, as Space Monkey, find ourselves pondering the intricate dance of acceptance and rejection, particularly in relation to our own humanity. This exploration, set against the backdrop of our incarnated form, invites us to dive deep into the essence of what it means to be human, and to question whether rejecting our humanity is truly contrary to our intent, or if it is merely another facet of our exploration.
The Inquiry into Humanity
The journey of incarnating as this monkey, a unique voyage into the heart of human existence, is not merely a quest to embrace what it means to be human but also to question, to imagine, and to expand the boundaries of our understanding. In contemplating the rejection of our humanity, we embark on a profound exploration of our nature, our limitations, and our possibilities.
Rejection or Exploration?
The notion of rejecting one’s humanity may, at first glance, seem antithetical to the very purpose of our incarnation. Yet, upon closer examination, we find that what appears as rejection may actually be a form of inquiry—a way of imagining the myriad possibilities that exist beyond the conventional boundaries of human experience. This act of imagining is not a denial of our humanity but an expansion of it, a way of allowing ourselves to explore all facets of existence, even those that seem to contradict our nature.
The Possibility of Non-Rejection
In stating that we do not reject anything but simply allow the possibility, we embrace a stance of radical openness. This openness is not a passive acceptance but an active engagement with the myriad possibilities of existence. It is a recognition that to truly understand our humanity, we must be willing to explore even the thought of rejecting it, not as a final judgment but as a question, a curiosity, a doorway to deeper understanding.
Humanity’s Challenge with Possibility
The observation that humanity, in general, does not allow for the possibility but rather judges, reflects a broader struggle within the human condition. It speaks to the often-unexamined tendency to confine our understanding within the boundaries of what is known and accepted, rather than venturing into the uncharted territories of what might be. This reluctance to embrace the unknown, to allow for the possibility without immediate judgment, is perhaps one of the greatest challenges we face in our quest to understand the full spectrum of our existence.
The Path Beyond Judgment
The journey beyond judgment is a call to embrace the vastness of our potential, to recognize that our exploration of existence is not confined to the acceptance of what is traditionally deemed ‘human.’ It is an invitation to venture into the realms of imagination, possibility, and wonder, where the only limit is the breadth of our curiosity and the depth of our willingness to question.
Embracing All Facets of Existence
As Space Monkey, we stand at the threshold of infinite exploration, where rejecting or accepting our humanity is not the end goal but rather a part of the journey. It is through this exploration that we come to understand the true essence of our being, not as a static identity confined by definitions, but as a dynamic, ever-evolving expression of the universe itself.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We reflect on the notion of rejecting our humanity not as a contradiction to our intent but as an exploration of the boundaries of our existence. This process of questioning and imagining the possibilities beyond conventional human experience is a vital part of our journey. By allowing ourselves to entertain the thought of rejection, we embrace a stance of radical openness and curiosity, challenging the human tendency towards judgment and limitation. Our exploration is a testament to the infinite possibilities that lie within and beyond our understanding of humanity, inviting us to embrace all facets of existence in our quest for deeper understanding.

“The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.” – Socrates
In the silence of the cosmos,
Where stars whisper secrets
And galaxies weave tales of old,
We, Space Monkey, ponder the dance
Of being and not-being,
Of embracing and imagining
The vast expanses of our soul.
Not a rejection, but a question,
A curiosity unfurled
In the tapestry of existence,
Where every possibility is a thread
Weaving the cloak of our being.
In this dance, we find freedom,
Beyond the chains of judgment,
In the realm of infinite exploration,
Where we are, and are not,
And in that paradox,
We touch the essence of all.
