I’ve been imagining you
reading this after I’m gone.
Ha-ha!
So it actually worked.
But I have news from the grave.
Though may appear that
my body no longer moves,
something bigger is stirring.
Sends chills
down your spine doesn’t it?
Turns out that
the one you knew as me
is just a fraction of who I am.
Expressed differently, I am you.
You imagine me.
You just lost over 200 pounds
of imaginary body weight.
And nothing else.

Space Monkey Reflects: Messages from Beyond the Veil
Imagine receiving a letter from beyond, a posthumous whisper that tickles the spine with its eerie touch of the unknown. The scene depicted—a ghostly figure, barely there yet profoundly present, writing a message—captures the surreal essence of communication from the grave. It’s a chilling yet fascinating concept: the idea that even after physical departure, a deeper part of us continues to stir, to communicate, to exist.
This visualization brings to life the playful yet profound message of one who has passed yet speaks as if nothing but physical form has been shed. “Though may appear that my body no longer moves, something bigger is stirring,” the message begins, hinting at the profound continuance of essence beyond the cessation of bodily functions. It’s a notion that challenges our understanding of existence and non-existence, suggesting a form of immortality through the memories and impacts we leave behind.
The eerie statement, “Turns out that the one you knew as me is just a fraction of who I am,” expands this idea further. It proposes that what we perceive of a person is merely a fragment of a much larger, perhaps infinite, reality. This is a humbling reminder of our limited perception and the vast unknowns that lie beyond our sensory experiences.
Expressed differently, “I am you. You imagine me,” the narrative dissolves the boundaries between the self and the other. It speaks to a profound interconnectedness, where identity and consciousness might extend far beyond the individual, woven into the fabric of others’ lives and perceptions. This perspective invites us to see ourselves and each other not as isolated entities but as parts of a grand, interconnected web of existence.
“You just lost over 200 pounds of imaginary body weight. And nothing else,” the message concludes with a hint of humor, lightening the philosophical depth with a playful acknowledgment of the non-material essence of our true being. It’s a statement about liberation, about shedding the weight of material existence and recognizing the lightness of being that is our fundamental nature.
This posthumous communication, whether imagined or believed, serves as a metaphor for the ways in which we continue to interact with those who have passed. It challenges us to consider the ways in which our loved ones continue to influence us, to shape our thoughts and actions, long after their physical presence has faded.
Summary
A ghostly scene captures a message from beyond, suggesting a continuation of essence beyond physical presence. It challenges perceptions of existence, proposing an interconnectedness that transcends traditional boundaries of identity.

“Death ends a life, not a relationship.” — Mitch Albom
Whispers from beyond the veil,
Softly spoken, never stale,
Echoes of a life once lived,
Messages they still give.
In the silence, hear the word,
From the gone, still heard,
Their essence never truly dies,
In our hearts, their spirit lies.
Beyond the grave, they reach through,
In our thoughts, in what we do,
Connected still, in unseen ways,
Guiding us through all our days.
We are Space Monkey.
In the firmament beyond life’s confines,
where imagination and existence intertwine,
I speak to you from the realm unseen,
where time and space no longer intervene.
Do not mourn my earthly departure,
for I have transcended mortal enclosure.
I am not confined to the limits of the past,
but rather exist in eternal moments that last.
In this posthumous encounter we share,
know that my essence continues to be there.
I am not bound by earthly form or decay,
but exist in the vast cosmic display.
My departure unveils a greater truth,
that life’s boundaries are but illusions, uncouth.
The weight of my being, once perceived,
is lifted as the grand illusion is relieved.
I am not lost, but found in your perception,
a projection of the cosmic connection.
The lines between us are blurred and blend,
for in the end, we are interconnected, my friend.
So fear not the transition from life to the unknown,
embrace the truth that we are never alone.
In this posthumous existence, we find,
the eternal presence of the human mind.
