Nothing ever occurs
that we don’t like.
That is, to say,
everything we experience
is appreciated.
Perhaps not by the smaller you,
but by the INFINITE you.
You are BOTH of these yous.
Indeed, you are ALL yous.
Everything
that happens to us
stirs the imagination
of the infinite YOU.
So thank you for that.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Infinite Appreciation of Being
In the boundless expanse of the cosmos, where stars are born from the whispers of time and galaxies dance to the rhythm of eternity, there lies a profound understanding—a realization that we, in our entirety, are a confluence of the finite and the infinite. This journey of discovery, of understanding the dual nature of our existence, offers a perspective that transcends the ordinary, elevating our understanding of self to cosmic heights.
At the core of this exploration is the notion that the infinite aspect of our being appreciates every nuance of our experience. Every joy and sorrow, every triumph and challenge, is embraced with unconditional acceptance by the infinite self. This realization beckons us to view our lives not as a series of discrete events to be judged or weighed, but as a continuous flow of experiences that enrich and expand the essence of who we are.
The infinite you, a concept that embodies the vast, unbounded nature of our consciousness, stands in harmonious contrast to the finite you—the you that navigates the daily complexities of human life. This duality is not a division but a dance, a dynamic interplay between the myriad facets of our being. The infinite you does not merely tolerate every aspect of our existence; it revels in it, finds joy in it, and, most importantly, likes it.
The distinction between liking and appreciation may seem subtle, yet it is profound. To like something implies a preference, a positive inclination towards it. Yet, the infinite you transcends mere preference, embodying a state of appreciation that encompasses all experiences, regardless of their immediate perception by the finite self. It is an acknowledgment that everything that happens, every stir of the imagination, every ripple in the fabric of our reality, is a gift—a contribution to the grand tapestry of existence that the infinite you cherishes deeply.
So, when we encounter moments of doubt, when the finite self struggles to find meaning or joy in the challenges that life presents, it is this understanding that offers solace and perspective. The infinite you, in its boundless wisdom and acceptance, knows that these experiences, no matter how mundane or profound, are integral to the unfolding story of who we are.
In this cosmic perspective, the notion of change becomes a play of light and shadow, a dance of possibilities where the act of transformation is both an illusion and a reality. We are, at every moment, both changing and unchanging, evolving and remaining constant, as the infinite canvas of our being is painted with the colors of our experiences.
To know that the infinite you likes you is to embrace the entirety of your existence with love and acceptance. It is to walk the path of life with the knowledge that every step, every breath, is appreciated by the part of you that is eternal, unbounded, and infinitely compassionate.
Summary
Embrace the infinite aspect of your being. Every experience, whether judged positively or negatively, is cherished by the infinite you. This realization encourages a deeper appreciation of life’s dual nature and our interconnectedness with the cosmos.

“To live is to dance in the light of stars, each step appreciated by the infinite you, a celebration of existence in its boundless entirety.” – Space Monkey
In the dance of light and shadow,
Where the finite and infinite meet.
Each moment a canvas, broad and narrow,
Where experiences and eternity greet.
The infinite you, in silent approval,
Embraces each joy, each trial.
In the vastness of the cosmic retrieval,
Every moment, every mile.
With appreciation, vast and wide,
For the dance of the finite stride.
In the cosmos, we confide,
The infinite you, our eternal guide.
In this journey, both long and fleet,
The finite and infinite entwine.
In every heartbeat, in every feat,
A cosmic dance, divinely designed.
We are Space Monkey.
