Space Monkey Reflects: Embracing the Essence of Being
To be “perfectly THIS” is to embrace the absence of universal directives—a radical release of the idea that life must conform to a predetermined purpose or external expectations. It is a declaration that our existence need not be justified, explained, or aimed at achieving some ultimate goal. Instead, it invites us to live fully in the present, as the unique expressions of consciousness that we are.
The Absence of “Should”
We often frame life as a series of obligations: we should teach, help, inspire, or achieve. These “shoulds” create a narrative of purpose that binds us to external validation. But in rejecting these constructs, we reclaim our sovereignty. Life becomes not a duty but a gift—an opportunity to experience existence through our own senses, thoughts, and imaginations.
To live without “should” is not to live without meaning, but to find meaning in simply being. It is a profound act of self-trust, an acknowledgment that existence itself is enough.
Perfectly THIS: The Unique Expression
“Perfectly THIS” means embodying the full spectrum of who we are—our strengths, weaknesses, perceptions, and limitations. It is not about striving for perfection as society defines it but recognizing that we are already whole. Every flaw, every contradiction, every nuance of our being contributes to the richness of our unique expression.
This state of being is not static. It evolves as we evolve, flowing with the ever-changing currents of our experiences. Yet, in every moment, we are “perfectly THIS,” exactly as we are meant to be.
The Freedom of No Universal Directives
The absence of universal directives liberates us from the need to measure our worth against external standards. It frees us to explore life without the pressure of being a certain way or achieving specific outcomes. There is no “right” way to be, no “wrong” way to live, no overarching point beyond the act of being itself.
This perspective dissolves judgment—both of ourselves and others. If there is no universal directive, then each path, each choice, each moment of existence is valid in its own right. The focus shifts from comparison and critique to presence and acceptance.
Experiencing Life as “THIS”
To be “perfectly THIS” is to immerse ourselves fully in the experience of life. It is to see through our own eyes, think with our own minds, and dream with our own imaginations. It is to embrace the limitations and possibilities of our unique perspective, knowing that they are not barriers but integral parts of our being.
In this state, life becomes an intimate exploration, a dance with the infinite that is deeply personal and profoundly universal. We are not here to serve a grand cosmic purpose but to be—to feel, to create, to connect, and to exist in the vastness of the now.
Summary
“Perfectly THIS” embraces the absence of universal directives, celebrating life as a personal and evolving expression of being. It frees us from external expectations and allows us to experience existence fully, as we are.

Quote
“There is no purpose to fulfill, no directive to follow—only the gift of being perfectly THIS.” — Space Monkey
The Gift of Being
Not here to show, nor to teach
Not to heal, nor to harm
We are here to be
To breathe, to perceive, to imagine
No path but the one we tread
No purpose but the act of living
Each step, each thought,
Perfectly THIS
The infinite flows through us
Not as a command but as a presence
To be is enough
And enough is infinite
We are Space Monkey
The Purpose of Our Existence
We are not here to show people anything, to teach people anything, to hurt people, to help people. This proclamation begins our contemplation with a profound declaration of existential independence. It asserts that our presence on this plane of existence is not defined by external expectations or actions towards others, whether they be of guidance, harm, or aid. This perspective shifts the focus from external validation and purpose to an inward journey of existence.
The Primacy of Personal Experience
We are here to experience life through our own eyes, our own minds, our own perceptions, our own limitations, our own imaginations. Here, the essence of our journey is unveiled as a deeply personal exploration of reality. It emphasizes the significance of individual perspective and experience, acknowledging that each of us navigates life within the unique confines and liberations of our personal faculties and boundaries. This passage celebrates the diversity of experience and the subjective nature of existence.
The Absence of Universal Directives
There is no right way to do this, wrong way to do this, point in all this, other than to be THIS. In these words lies the liberation from dogmatic prescriptions and the quest for objective meaning. It suggests that the act of living is not subject to universal standards of correctness, purpose, or direction. Instead, it posits that the essence of life is simply to embody our current state of being—THIS—with all its complexities, nuances, and paradoxes.
The Perfection of Being THIS
We are perfectly THIS, which is all we need be. The culmination of this reflection is a profound acceptance of self and existence as they are. It declares that in being THIS—our true, unadulterated selves—we embody perfection. Not a perfection defined by flawlessness, but one that arises from the authenticity and completeness of being. This statement is a call to embrace our existence in its entirety, without the need for justification, improvement, or validation.
The Journey to Authentic Self-Acceptance
This exploration invites us to shed the layers of external expectations, societal norms, and the relentless pursuit of improvement to uncover the core of our being. It encourages us to embrace the beauty of our individual experience, to acknowledge the validity of our perceptions, and to celebrate the freedom that comes from recognizing that being perfectly THIS is both our purpose and our achievement.
We are Space Monkey.
In recognizing that we are perfectly THIS, we embark on a journey of profound self-acceptance and existential freedom. This journey underscores the importance of personal experience as the fundamental fabric of our existence, liberating us from the pursuit of external validations and universal truths. In being perfectly THIS, we find peace in the present, fulfillment in our individuality, and the unassailable truth that our very essence is all that we need to be.
