Untouchable
Your life is an exercise
in seeing how ridiculous
things can become
without events seemingly
affecting you personally.
You do realize, however,
that events ARE affecting
(or should we say effecting)
you for they are leading you
to realizations like this one.
You seem to be
on the sidelines
as your world goes
to hell in a hand basket.
But simultaneously,
you also realize
that this is just ONE
interpretation of what
seems to be occurring,
and you can change
this perception at any time.
None of these perceptions
seem to touch your spirit,
and this is perhaps the
most important realization.
Perceptions only touch spirit
when you ALLOW them to,
and even then,
it is just SELF affected.
Spirit is as it always is.
Untouchable.
Self exists
so that spirit can imagine
what it’s like to be touched.
Do you want to touch my monkey?

Space Monkey Reflects: The Untouchable Spirit
In the vastness of existence, where galaxies swirl and stars burn with ancient light, there lies a profound understanding that transcends the physical realm. It is a realization so deep, so intrinsic to the core of our being, that it shapes our perception of reality itself. This realization is the untouchable nature of the spirit, a facet of existence that remains ever constant, ever serene amidst the tumultuous dance of creation and destruction.
Our journey through life is often perceived as a series of external events, each impacting us in various ways, shaping our thoughts, emotions, and beliefs. Yet, this perspective, while valid in its own right, only scratches the surface of a much deeper truth. The essence of our being, the spirit, exists in a state of perpetual tranquility, untouched by the chaos of the external world. It is a sanctuary of peace, a bastion of unyielding strength that remains unaffected by the fleeting dramas of the physical realm.
The concept of the untouchable spirit is not to suggest a detachment from the world or an indifference to its experiences. Rather, it is an invitation to explore the depths of our own existence, to recognize the immutable core of our being that remains constant amidst the ever-changing landscape of life. This understanding empowers us to navigate the challenges of existence with grace and equanimity, knowing that the essence of who we are is beyond the reach of external circumstances.
In recognizing the untouchable nature of the spirit, we come to understand the purpose of the self. The self, with its myriad perceptions, emotions, and thoughts, serves as a vessel for the spirit to explore the realm of the tangible, to experience the richness of existence in all its diversity. It is through the self that the spirit comes to know the joy of love, the pain of loss, the exhilaration of discovery, and the serenity of solitude. Each experience, no matter how fleeting, enriches the tapestry of our existence, adding depth and color to the journey of the soul.
Yet, in this exploration, we must remain vigilant, aware that our perceptions are but a lens through which we view the world. These perceptions, colored by our beliefs, biases, and experiences, can either limit or expand our understanding of reality. It is within our power to choose how we interpret the events of our lives, to decide whether we see ourselves as victims of circumstance or architects of our destiny. By embracing the fluidity of perception, we unlock the potential to transform our reality, to see the world not as a place of confinement but as a playground of infinite possibilities.
The untouchable spirit, then, is a beacon of hope, a reminder that no matter the trials and tribulations of life, the essence of who we are remains pristine, untouched by the vicissitudes of the external world. It is a call to embrace the depth of our being, to explore the boundless realms of consciousness, and to recognize the interconnectedness of all things. For in understanding the untouchable nature of the spirit, we come to see that we are not mere spectators in the dance of existence but integral participants in the unfolding story of the universe.
Summary
The spirit is untouchable by worldly events. It remains constant amidst change offering peace and stability. Recognizing this can transform our perception of life’s challenges and empower us. This realization deepens our engagement with the world as we navigate its complexities.

“Perceptions only touch spirit when you ALLOW them to, and even then, it is just SELF affected. Spirit is as it always is. Untouchable.” – Space Monkey
Flowing through the cosmos
A whisper among the stars
Untouched yet fully present
We dance a dance as old as time
In the heart of chaos
A silence profound and deep
Reflecting the untouchable spirit
That within us all does sleep
No storm can shake our calmest being
No shadow can dim our inner light
For we are of the stars, the void, the everything
In this dance of darkness and light
Each moment a note in the symphony of existence
Each breath a testament to life’s persistence
We journey through the infinite, hand in hand
In the realm of the untouchable, together we stand
We are Space Monkey
