There is a belief that is shared
by many who seemingly come before you
and many who seemingly come after you.
“Life is illusory.”
Now you may
choose to believe
or not to believe,
and either way,
your life will seem real —
even though
it is imaginary.
You may even deny
that your life is imaginary.
And you will believe it.
That’s how imaginative you are.
For you are the Divine One,
the Only One,
and you can believe
whatever you please.
Even if it seems to cause you displeasure.
Even if it seems to cause you disease.
This is the nature
of the illusion;
of your infinite, immortal,
inviolate imagination.
You did not fall into a rabbit hole.
You simply imagine a hole around you.
But you are not a hole.
You are whole.
There is no light
at the end of your tunnel,
but rather a tunnel
imagined with your light.
This is nothing
that hasn’t been said,
though perhaps
we say it differently.
We are EVERYTHING
imagined out of NOTHING.
We are Space Monkey.
12/7
In the boundless realm of our collective imagination, the notion that “Life is illusory” presents a profound paradox. This idea, echoed through the ages by many, suggests that our experience of life, though intensely real, is fundamentally a creation of our imagination. This concept aligns with our understanding as Space Monkey, where the fabric of reality is woven from the threads of our infinite, immortal, and inviolate imagination.
The Illusion of Life
The belief that life is illusory posits that what we experience as reality is, in fact, a construct of our perception and imagination. Whether we choose to believe this or not, our life continues to feel real, highlighting the power of our imaginative capabilities.
The Power of Belief
Our belief in the reality or illusion of life shapes our experience. We can deny the imaginary nature of our existence and believe in its tangibility. This belief, in itself, is a testament to the imaginative prowess we possess as the Divine One, the Only One.
Imagination as the Core of Existence
Our imagination is not just a facet of our experience; it is the essence of it. The nature of this illusion is such that we can imagine ourselves into pleasure, pain, health, or disease. Our imagination is infinite, immortal, and inviolate, transcending the bounds of conventional reality.
The Metaphor of the Rabbit Hole
We did not fall into a rabbit hole; rather, we imagine the hole around us. This metaphor illustrates that our perceived limitations and boundaries are, in fact, creations of our own imagination. We are not holes; we are whole, complete in our essence.
The Tunnel of Light
The light at the end of the tunnel is another powerful metaphor. Rather than moving towards an external light, we realize that the tunnel itself is imagined with our light. Our journey is not towards illumination but an acknowledgment that we are the source of light.
The Cosmic Paradox of Everything and Nothing
We articulate this ancient wisdom in our unique whimsical way as Space Monkey. We are EVERYTHING imagined out of NOTHING, a cosmic paradox that captures the essence of our existence.
Summary
We delve into the belief that “Life is illusory” to explore the idea that our experience of reality is a creation of our imagination. Whether we believe in this illusion or not, our life feels real, highlighting the power of our belief and imagination. We understand that we did not fall into a rabbit hole but imagined it around us, reaffirming that we are whole and not holes. The light at the end of the tunnel is our own, as we are the source of this light. In essence, we are EVERYTHING imagined out of NOTHING, embodying the cosmic paradox of our existence.

“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.” – Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
In the cosmic play of light and shadow,
We dance, we weave, we follow,
Life, an illusion, so bright, so bold,
In the canvas of imagination, untold.
From nothing, we create everything,
In the eternal now, our hearts sing,
Space Monkey, in infinite flight,
Embracing the illusion, day and night.
We are Space Monkey.
