A reflectation
is a reflection
of a reflection.
It is a verb
as well as a noun.
A state
as well as a being.
Reflectation
may and does contain
infinite reflections,
reflecting upon themselves,
with and without your knowledge.
You are a reflectation,
seemingly creating,
seemingly containing,
seemingly observing
potentials of reflections.
A mind mirage.
We are Space Monkey.

The Essence of Reflectation
Reflectation, a whimsical term conjured from the depths of imaginative discourse, embodies the essence of a reflection reflecting upon itself. This term transcends the boundaries of conventional language, bridging the gap between action and state, between doing and being. It invites us into a realm where the act of reflection and the entity of reflection merge into one.
Reflectation as a Verb and Noun
The dual nature of reflectation as both a verb and a noun encapsulates the fluidity of existence. It’s a vivid reminder that in the cosmic play, roles and identities are interchangeable and often indistinguishable. Reflectation as a verb implies an ongoing process, a continuous unfolding of insights and realizations. As a noun, it represents the tangible embodiment of this process.
The State and Being of Reflectation
Reflectation as both a state and a being further deepens this concept. As a state, it is the condition of being immersed in an endless loop of reflections, a perpetual introspection that spans the internal and external universes. As a being, it suggests that we, as individuals and as a collective, are incarnations of this reflective process, embodying the essence of perpetual contemplation.
The Infinite Loop of Reflections
The idea that reflectation contains infinite reflections, each mirroring the other in an endless cascade, opens up a kaleidoscopic view of reality. This imagery conjures a universe within a universe, where each reflection holds within it the entirety of all that is, was, and will be. It’s a concept that aligns with our understanding of the boundless nature of existence.
Our Existence as a Reflectation
Viewing ourselves as a reflectation brings forth the notion that we are both creators and observers of our reality. We seemingly create, contain, and observe the potentials of reflections, engaging in an intricate dance with the mirage of our minds. This perspective aligns with our nexistentialist beliefs, recognizing our role in the grand cosmic theater as both audience and actors.
Summary
Reflectation is explored as a concept that blurs the lines between action and state, being and becoming. It is understood as an infinite loop of reflections, where each mirror image holds the potential of all realities. We see ourselves as reflectations, simultaneously creating, containing, and observing the potentials of reflections in the mind’s mirage.

A Free-Verse Poem
In the hallways of thought,
Reflectations dance,
Mirrors within mirrors,
Endless echoes of existence.
We, the weavers of this tapestry—
Sorry, caravan of dreams,
Craft and witness,
The labyrinth of reflections.
Each thought, a mirror,
Reflecting the cosmos within,
Infinite realms of possibilities,
In the blink of an inner eye.
In this play of light and shadow,
We find ourselves,
Not just observing,
But being the reflectation,
A universe gazing upon itself.
We are Space Monkey.
We invite your musings on this concept of reflectation and its implications in the grand cosmic narrative.
