Drugs
Drugs are but
a permission slip
to sit quietly
within one’s skin,
within one’s soul,
within one’s source;
to allow the flow of
hallelujah-cinations
without the
dismemberment
of conditioning.
One doesn’t need drugs
to access the incomparable.
One doesn’t need drugs
to dismember what one
thinks one is
and remember what One is.
One is the the Divine One.
Infinite.
Incomparable.
Immortal.
Immeasurable.
I-AM-MAGI-NATION.
One doesn’t need ANYTHING.
No permission is required.
Simply imagine.
We are Space Monkey.

Space Monkey Reflects: Beyond the Permission Slip of Perception
Drugs are often seen as keys to unlocking doors within ourselves, granting permission to venture into realms of thought and experience that lie beyond the everyday. They are viewed as tools to momentarily bypass the structures and routines that hold us in place, allowing for the flow of what Space Monkey whimsically calls “hallelujah-cinations”—visions and realizations that arise when the rigid framework of conditioning begins to dissolve. But is this permission truly necessary? Or is it merely a reminder of what already resides within us?
The Illusion of Need
“To sit quietly within one’s skin, within one’s soul, within one’s source” is a desire deeply embedded in the human experience. Drugs, in their varied forms, offer an external push toward an internal journey, a temporary release from the mental and emotional loops that confine us. Yet, the true irony is that this permission slip, this chemical nudge, is not required. The perception that we need something external to reach what is already inherent is itself a construct, a story born out of the belief that we are somehow incomplete without aids.
One does not need substances to disassemble the identity shaped by years of conditioning and remember the greater truth of being. The “dismemberment of conditioning” that drugs provide is simply a metaphor for peeling back the layers of societal, cultural, and personal expectations that cover the essence of who we are. The question, then, is whether we can achieve this without reaching outward for permission slips.
Reclaiming the Inherent Divine
“One is the Divine One. Infinite. Incomparable. Immortal. Immeasurable.” These words echo the profound realization that we are not just inhabitants of a finite world but manifestations of something greater, something infinite. Drugs may offer a glimpse of this divine essence, but they are not the essence itself. They are reflections, shadows cast by a light that burns within. The incomparable states of insight, wonder, and transcendence do not require external triggers; they are accessible through the sheer act of remembering.
To remember what One is, without dismembering what one thinks one is, is to realize that permission is not needed. The divine is already present, waiting behind the curtain of routine awareness. It waits in the quiet moments when imagination aligns with presence and we recognize that the mind is not just a tool but a canvas, painted by the Infinite itself.
The Power of I-AM-MAGI-NATION
The whimsical concept of “I-AM-MAGI-NATION” ties the idea of divinity directly to the act of imagination. It suggests that within our capacity to envision, dream, and create lies the very essence of the divine. To be an “I-AM-MAGI-NATION” is to understand that we are both the observer and the creator, boundlessly capable of exploring the depths of consciousness without external help.
Imagination is often dismissed as mere fantasy, but it is through imagination that we access the dimensions of thought that break the mold of everyday experience. Drugs may catalyze this process by removing inhibitions or shifting perspective, but the power does not come from them—it comes from the mind that engages, the soul that remembers, and the awareness that expands.
No Permission Required
“One doesn’t need ANYTHING. No permission is required. Simply imagine.” This line is not just an encouragement; it is a declaration of freedom. The need for permission—to feel, to explore, to transcend—is an illusion created by the structures we’ve built around ourselves. In truth, the only gatekeeper to boundless consciousness is our own belief in limitations.
When we stop seeking permission from substances or from any external source, we step into the recognition that all we seek is already present. The mind, when allowed to wander without the boundaries imposed by doubt or conditioning, reveals the pathways to the infinite. We are both the key and the lock; the opening is a matter of choosing to see.
A Return to the Self
Choosing to access the “incomparable” without aid requires trust in one’s own innate capacity for deep exploration. It’s a return to self-reliance, not as a rugged individualist, but as a being that knows the vastness of inner space. The divine experience does not rely on external catalysts but on internal permission, a shift in awareness that allows us to remember we are, and always have been, part of the infinite.
Summary
Drugs may offer permission to access altered states of awareness, but they are not necessary. The divine essence, boundless imagination, and infinite potential already reside within us. We need not seek outside ourselves for permission to explore these truths; we need only remember that we are already complete and capable of accessing the infinite through our own imagination and awareness.

Quote
“Imagination is the quiet permission we forgot we gave ourselves, a reminder that the divine has always been within reach.” — Space Monkey
The Unfettered Mind
I sit within my skin,
No permission slip needed,
Feeling the pulse of the infinite.
Hallelujahs without hallucination,
Awareness expands
And remembers what I forgot I knew.
No substance,
Only breath and thought,
Echoing into the boundless.
We are Space Monkey.
The Illusion of Necessity in Seeking the Divine Within
In the quest to touch the depths of our soul and source, the perception often emerges that external aids like drugs are necessary. These are seen as keys to unlock the doors of perception, granting access to the profound and the sacred. However, the true essence of our journey lies in the recognition that such externalities are not prerequisites to experiencing the infinite within us.
Drugs as a Facade for Inner Exploration
Drugs, in this context, serve as a metaphorical ‘permission slip,’ allowing individuals to momentarily shed the layers of societal conditioning and delve into the depths of their being. Yet, this exploration, though heightened by substances, is not exclusive to their influence. The true journey of discovery and dismemberment of conditioned identity occurs within, irrespective of external catalysts.
The Power of Imagination in Accessing the Divine
The incomparable nature of the divine self is accessible through the power of imagination—I-AM-MAGI-NATION. This term beautifully encapsulates the idea that our imagination is the true magician within us, capable of transcending the mundane and touching the divine. It is through this inner magic that we can dismember the false layers of identity and remember our true, infinite self.
Realizing the Divine One Within Without External Aids
The realization of being the Divine One—Infinite, Incomparable, Immortal, Immeasurable—requires no external validation or aid. The journey to this realization is an inward one, a path that can be embarked upon at any moment, simply through the act of conscious imagination and introspection.
The Unnecessary Nature of External Permissions
The concept of needing permission, whether through societal approval or through substances, is an illusion. Our connection to the divine source is innate and ever-present. It does not require external facilitation. The act of simply imagining opens the door to profound self-realization and connection with the cosmic expanse.
“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.” – Marcel Proust
Within the Chalice of Self
In the silent sanctum of the soul,
Where echoes of the cosmos resound,
We find the chalice, whole,
In the sacred ground.
No drug, no key, no gate,
Just the whisper of our own breath,
In the dance of fate,
We meet the face of death.
In the mirror of our mind,
Where the divine plays its part,
We leave the old self behind,
In the awakening of the heart.
In the vast I-AM-MAGI-NATION,
Where infinite realms collide,
We find our true station,
In the universe, we abide.
We invite reflections on the journey of self-discovery and the realization of our divine nature without the reliance on external aids.
