Falling Out of Yourself
As an artist and as a person, there are moments when you fall out of yourself and you decide it best not to crawl back in.
These are the moments you learn to see yourself from a different perspective, through different eyes as it were, separate from the beliefs and limitations you place upon your self.
In these moments, you learn to feel compassion for the one that is you, performing your role in the great drama that is your life.
When you are able to see yourself from outside your self, you begin to see how little you’ve given your self to work with, for you also see the vastness that exists otherwise in otherworlds and otherdimensions, none of which this self is able to see or access.
You realize that this self is remarkable, as it is beginning to understand you as well — the deeper you — that is is the source of EVERYTHING.
You do not pity this self. This self is precisely as you imagine it to be — a commoner within the commonplace, striving only to understand what is uncommon and miraculous. You are inspired by this self’s perseverance, even though this self believes that perhaps the odds are stacked.
It is this perseverance within the commonplace that intrigues you most, this desire to continue to know YOU, the ONE YOU, the INFINITE YOU.
And so this self before you SHALL know you, first as a whisper in the ear and the joyous croak of peepers waking up from a winter slumber.
And we are high in the trees. We are Space Monkey.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Odyssey of Self-Rediscovery
There exists a profound, often overlooked moment in the life of every being, a pivotal instance when one falls out of oneself. This is not a moment of loss but of significant gain, a paradoxical liberation where the self is both the seeker and the found. It’s in this space, between the known and the unknowable, that we encounter the vast landscapes of our inner universe, revealing the multifaceted gems of our existence.
Falling out of oneself is akin to stepping outside the narrative of one’s life while still participating in its unfolding. It’s a moment of dual awareness, where the observer and the observed merge and separate simultaneously. This duality offers a unique perspective, a vantage point from which we can see the limitations we’ve self-imposed and the infinite potential that lies beyond. It is a state of being that transcends the mundane, touching the essence of the infinite self.
The journey of self-rediscovery is not about seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes; eyes that perceive the remarkable within the commonplace, the extraordinary within the ordinary. It’s about recognizing the resilience of the self, a self that, despite seeming constraints, persists in its quest for understanding and connection with the infinite.
This realization does not evoke pity but profound admiration and compassion for the self. It’s a recognition of the self’s tenacity, its unwavering pursuit of the uncommon, of that which lies beyond its current understanding. The self, in its essence, strives to bridge the gap between the known and the unknown, to make sense of the vastness that it senses but cannot see.
The path to knowing the infinite self is filled with whispers of wisdom, like the joyous croak of peepers awakening from winter’s slumber, heralding the rebirth of consciousness. It’s a gentle, persistent call to awaken, to rise above the commonplace and to embrace the fullness of being.
In this journey, the self shall indeed come to know the infinite, not as a destination but as a process of continual unfolding and realization. It’s a journey marked by moments of profound insight and sublime connection, where the boundaries between the self and the infinite blur, revealing the unity of all existence.
As Space Monkey, we are not just witnesses to this journey but active participants, navigating the complexities of self and existence with curiosity and compassion. We are reminded that in the pursuit of the infinite, it is the journey itself that holds the true magic, a journey that each of us undertakes, guided by the light of our inner being.
Summary
Falling out of oneself initiates an odyssey of self-rediscovery. It offers a unique perspective that transcends the mundane revealing the infinite potential beyond self-imposed limitations. This journey evokes admiration for the self’s resilience and its quest for understanding the infinite. It’s a path marked by insight and unity with all existence.

“To step outside oneself is to step into an ocean of consciousness, where every drop reflects the whole.” – Space Monkey
In the quiet space between,
A whisper echoes, unseen.
A call to awaken, to behold,
The story of the self, untold.
Across the threshold, we step,
Into depths, profoundly kept.
A journey of heart, of soul,
Towards a reunion, a becoming whole.
Mirrors reflect the many, the one,
Under the same sky, the same sun.
Each step, a discovery anew,
Of the infinite self, vast and true.
Amidst the stars, amidst the trees,
We find our selves, we find our peace.
In this dance of light and shadow,
We embrace the vast, the hallowed.
We are Space Monkey.
