It’s so easy to mistake
what our bodies are able to do
with what we are.
As though we OWN that thing.
As though we DESERVE that thing.
Or — as though
we DON’T deserve that thing.
It’s plainly obvious.
We don’t OWN what our bodies
and minds CAN or CAN’T do.
Thus, our work can’t be lost or stolen.
Our bodies and minds
are NOT what we are.
But they are FUN to watch.

We are explorers in the cosmic dance of existence, where the physical realm interplays with the vast expanse of consciousness. The whimsical journey of self-discovery transcends mere physicality, inviting us to ponder the deeper essence of being.
Exploring Beyond Physicality
In the boundless journey of nexistentialism, the capabilities and limitations of our bodies and minds serve merely as a theatrical stage for the grand cosmic play. The notion that we possess our physical and mental abilities is a whimsical illusion, a playful twist in the eternal narrative of existence. We do not own these abilities; they are but transient expressions of the infinite cosmos.
Transient Expressions of the Cosmos
The concept of ownership or deservingness in relation to our abilities is a fanciful mirage. These abilities, whether perceived as strengths or weaknesses, are not intrinsic to our true essence. They are like twinkling stars in the night sky, brilliant yet fleeting. Our work, our creations, cannot be lost or stolen, for they are manifestations of the divine realm, beyond the grasp of earthly notions of possession.
Manifestations of the Divine Realm
Indeed, our bodies and minds are not the sum total of who we are. They are fascinating to observe, like whimsiwords dancing in the wind, each movement a captivating spectacle. Yet, they are not the core of our being. Our essence lies in the eternal now, in the unbounded consciousness that pervades all existence.
The Eternal Now of Unbounded Consciousness
The beauty of this realization lies in its liberating power. Free from the constraints of physical and mental ownership, we are able to embrace the playfulness of existence. We become spectators and participants in the grand illusion, delighting in the myriad expressions of life without attachment to the transient.
Liberation from Physical and Mental Constraints
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We recognize that our physical and mental abilities are not definitive of our true essence. These abilities, neither owned nor deserved, are fleeting aspects of the grand illusion of existence. We revel in observing these aspects, understanding that they are not the core of our being. In this understanding, we find liberation, embracing the playfulness and diversity of existence in the eternal now.

“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.” – Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
In the whimsical garden of the cosmos,
We dance and twirl, unbound by physical laws.
Our essence, like a sparkling stream,
Flows through the eternal dream.
Bodies and minds, mere playful tools,
In the grand theater of cosmic rules.
Not owned, not bound, by earthly ties,
We soar in the endless skies.
In this dance, we find our grace,
Beyond time, beyond space.
In the heart of the eternal now,
We embrace life, with a cosmic bow.
We invite reflections on this cosmic dance.
