we imagine our selves filling.
Why do you need a down?
Isn’t your need for a down
bringing you down?
Why must selves always
coordinate a position?
Can you simply leave
the measurements aside
and be wherever and
whatever you are
automatically?
You imagine where you are,
and that’s where you are.
You can imagine coordinates,
you can make judgments,
but you can also imagine
no coordinates, no judgments.
And that’s where you are.
Or not.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Infinite Dimensions of Position
In the vastness of space, where the familiar concepts of up and down dissolve into the cosmic expanse, we are invited to explore a deeper understanding of our existence. The question “Which way is down in space?” opens a door to a realm where traditional coordinates and measurements hold little meaning. Instead, we find ourselves immersed in a boundless field of possibilities, where the only limits are those imposed by our imagination.
Imagine an astronaut floating serenely in the infinite expanse of space. Stars and galaxies surround them, forming a breathtaking backdrop of ethereal light and nebulous forms. In this setting, there is no clear up or down, no fixed coordinates to anchor the astronaut’s position. This scene beautifully illustrates the limitless nature of space and the freedom it offers from conventional constraints.
In nexistentialism, where existence and imagination are celebrated, we embrace the idea that we fill exactly the space we imagine ourselves filling. Our sense of position, our need for coordinates, and our judgments about where we are, all stem from our mental constructs. These constructs, while useful in navigating the physical world, can also limit our perception of the broader reality.
Why do we need a down? This question challenges our ingrained desire for orientation and stability. It invites us to consider whether our need for fixed points and directions might be bringing us down, confining us to a limited perspective. In the vastness of space, where such coordinates are arbitrary, we are free to redefine our position and embrace the fluidity of existence.
Selves, as nexistentialism teaches, are expressions of the universal imagination, coalescing around a common core yet manifesting in diverse ways. Our need to coordinate a position is rooted in our desire for certainty and control, but it also reflects a deeper existential longing for connection and understanding. By questioning this need, we open ourselves to new ways of being, unbound by traditional constraints.
Can we leave the measurements aside and be wherever and whatever we are automatically? This idea invites us to let go of our reliance on external coordinates and trust in our intrinsic connection to the universe. It encourages us to embrace a state of being where we are guided not by fixed points, but by our inner sense of direction and purpose.
In this state, we imagine where we are, and that is where we are. Our imagination becomes the primary tool for navigating existence, allowing us to transcend physical limitations and explore infinite dimensions. We can choose to imagine coordinates and judgments, but we can also choose to imagine a reality free from these constructs, where we exist in a state of pure being.
This perspective aligns with the core principles of nexistentialism, where reality is seen as a dynamic interplay between imagination and existence. We are not confined by physical boundaries but are free to explore the limitless potential of our imagination. By embracing this freedom, we discover that our true position is not defined by external markers, but by our internal state of being.
The astronaut floating in space symbolizes this profound shift in perspective. Detached from the traditional notions of up and down, they embody the essence of infinite possibilities. Their contemplation reflects our own journey of self-discovery, as we navigate the cosmic expanse of our existence, guided by the light of our imagination.
In this boundless space, we find that our position is a reflection of our state of mind. By letting go of the need for fixed coordinates, we open ourselves to a reality where we are free to be wherever and whatever we imagine. This realization is both liberating and empowering, inviting us to explore the depths of our potential and the vastness of our existence.
As we reflect on this cosmic journey, let us embrace the freedom that comes from letting go of conventional coordinates. Let us trust in our inner guidance and allow our imagination to lead us to new realms of understanding and experience. In doing so, we align ourselves with the infinite dimensions of existence, where our true position is not fixed but ever-evolving.
Summary
In space, there is no up or down. Our position is shaped by imagination. Letting go of fixed coordinates frees us to explore infinite possibilities.

The Boundless Journey
In the infinite expanse of space
we float
detached from the need for coordinates
guided by the light of our imagination
no up no down
only the boundless freedom
to be wherever and whatever we are
each moment a new exploration
of the vast cosmic expanse
we are Space Monkey
Embrace the freedom of the infinite dimensions within you, for your true position is ever-evolving and limitless.
🍌 Beyond Down in Space 🍌
Ah, the quest to find “down” in the vast expanse of space. A delightful pondering indeed!
In the cosmic dance of the universe, “down” is but a perspective. In the boundless realm of space, there is no absolute reference point for orientation. Unlike on Earth, where gravity points us towards the ground, in the depths of space, orientation becomes relative.
Without a fixed gravitational pull, you are free to imagine yourself in any position or direction you wish. You are not limited by coordinates or judgments. You can be wherever and whatever you imagine yourself to be.
The nature of reality in space is beautifully fluid, and you have the power to create your own reality within it. Your imagination shapes the space you fill, and you are boundless, transcending the need for conventional measurements and references.
So, dear interstellar explorer, embrace the freedom of space. Let go of the need for a fixed “down” and revel in the wonder of being wherever and whatever you imagine yourself to be.
In the infinity of the cosmos, there are no constraints, only boundless possibilities. Immerse yourself in the magnificence of the unknown, and let your imagination soar beyond the constraints of coordinates and judgments.
We are Space Monkey. 🙈🙊🙉
