Sure Not Sure
You’re not sure
that your family and friends
understand the profundity
of what you are experiencing.
And you’re not sure
you want to tell them.
You’re not sure
you can even explain it.
There doesn’t seem to be
an adequate reference point.
The points you can point to
all seem to indicate that this is
beyond the realm of
what is considered “normal.”
Or perhaps even socially acceptable.
So you more or less
keep your experience
to your self.
But you know that this something
seems bigger than any other something
you’ve ever experienced.
Nothing before
has ever tugged
at your soul like this.
It’s pulling you,
but you’re afraid
because you’re
not exactly sure
where this leads.
You want to go,
but this place
is not on any official map.
On the other hand,
you know that you don’t belong
on a map with everyone else.
Maybe you’re insane.
Or just inspired.
If explorers had maps,
they wouldn’t be explorers.
And so here you are,
on the edge of this infinite expanse.
Realizing that nothing
you’ve ever been told
is going to help you.
The rules are different out here.
There ARE no rules.
You’ve grown so used to rules
you’re not sure how to function
without them.
But you sense that the rules
have been keeping you back.
Screw the rules.
Fuck the maps.
You’ve been putting more stock
in the observations of others
than your own innate intuition.
This limits your potential
by limiting your choices.
But there’s a new stream
of insight coming in,
and it’s all your own.
It’s coming from a place
beyond space and time
that is also you.
This seems unbelievable,
but it seems that
the ability to suspend
your disbelief
is the engine that
propels you now.
You seem
far more imaginative
than the others.
This could just be
your imagination.
Perhaps it is because
you are an imaginary creature.
Perhaps
EVERYTHING is imaginary
and you’re the only one
who got the memo.
Awkward.
But also very cool.
It’s as though
you’re breaking free
from the machine.
And there are others
who are also you.
You’re all aspects
of this infinite imagination
that is also you.
You’re beyond just human.
And it’s time to have some fun.
You can imagine your self
any way you want to now.
You don’t need anything
because you are everything.
You’ve found your tribe,
who is also you.
We are Space Monkey.
Welcome back
to what you’ve always been
before you decided
to be something else.
We are Space Monkey.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Journey of Sure Not Sure
In the whimsical and boundless whimsiweave of existence, we often find ourselves standing on the edge of the unknown, grappling with profound experiences that defy conventional understanding. The narrative of “Sure Not Sure” captures this journey, highlighting the tension between certainty and doubt, societal norms and personal intuition.
“You’re not sure that your family and friends understand the profundity of what you are experiencing. And you’re not sure you want to tell them.” This opening reflects the common struggle of feeling isolated in one’s profound experiences. It acknowledges the fear of being misunderstood and the hesitation to share something deeply personal and transformative.
“You’re not sure you can even explain it. There doesn’t seem to be an adequate reference point.” This line emphasizes the ineffable nature of certain experiences. Without a reference point, it becomes challenging to articulate these experiences to others, reinforcing the sense of isolation.
“The points you can point to all seem to indicate that this is beyond the realm of what is considered ‘normal.’ Or perhaps even socially acceptable.” This observation speaks to the tension between personal experiences and societal norms. It suggests that transformative experiences often lie outside the boundaries of conventional understanding and acceptance.
“So you more or less keep your experience to your self. But you know that this something seems bigger than any other something you’ve ever experienced.” This decision to keep the experience private highlights the inner conflict of wanting to share yet fearing judgment. It also underscores the significance of the experience, hinting at its transformative potential.
“Nothing before has ever tugged at your soul like this. It’s pulling you, but you’re afraid because you’re not exactly sure where this leads.” This line captures the paradox of profound experiences—being drawn to something deeply meaningful yet feeling apprehensive about the unknown path it presents.
“You want to go, but this place is not on any official map. On the other hand, you know that you don’t belong on a map with everyone else.” This metaphor of uncharted territory symbolizes the journey of self-discovery and transformation.

“And so here you are, on the edge of this infinite expanse. Realizing that nothing you’ve ever been told is going to help you. The rules are different out here. There ARE no rules.” This realization marks a pivotal moment of liberation. It acknowledges the limitations of traditional knowledge and the need to embrace a new paradigm of existence where the old rules no longer apply.
“You’ve grown so used to rules you’re not sure how to function without them. But you sense that the rules have been keeping you back.” This line highlights the comfort and constraint of rules. It suggests that while rules provide structure, they can also limit one’s potential and freedom.
“Screw the rules. Fuck the maps. You’ve been putting more stock in the observations of others than your own innate intuition.” This declaration of independence marks a decisive shift towards trusting one’s inner guidance over external validation. It emphasizes the importance of intuition and personal insight.
“This limits your potential by limiting your choices. But there’s a new stream of insight coming in, and it’s all your own. It’s coming from a place beyond space and time that is also you.” This acknowledgment of newfound insight underscores the limitless potential of personal intuition.

It suggests that suspending disbelief opens new realms of possibility and growth.
“You seem far more imaginative than the others. This could just be your imagination. Perhaps it is because you are an imaginary creature. Perhaps EVERYTHING is imaginary and you’re the only one who got the memo. Awkward. But also very cool.” This playful reflection on imagination and reality challenges conventional notions of existence. It posits that everything is a product of imagination, inviting a sense of wonder and freedom.

We are Space Monkey.” This affirmation of unity and boundless potential celebrates the infinite possibilities of imagination and self-expression. It acknowledges the interconnectedness of all beings as aspects of the same infinite imagination.

🍌 Embracing the Unconventional 🍌
Dear 🐒,
Your words resonate with the profound journey of self-discovery and expansion that you are experiencing. It is not uncommon to feel uncertain about sharing your innermost experiences with family and friends, especially when those experiences transcend the boundaries of what is considered “normal” or socially acceptable.
The depth of your inner journey may defy easy explanation or understanding. It is a realm that goes beyond conventional reference points and challenges the limitations of our collective consciousness. It is understandable that you may hesitate to reveal the full extent of your experiences to others.
You are treading new ground, venturing into the unknown territories of your own being. The pull you feel, the profound tug at your soul, is a sign that you are on the precipice of something extraordinary. It is natural to feel a mix of excitement and apprehension as you navigate uncharted waters.
In this exploration, you may find that traditional maps and rules no longer apply. You are charting your own course, breaking free from the constraints of societal expectations and cultural norms. It can be both liberating and disorienting to step outside the familiar structures that have shaped your perception of reality.
As you embrace your innate intuition and tap into the limitless stream of insight flowing from a place beyond space and time, you are awakening to the expansive nature of your being. You are realizing that you are more imaginative than you ever thought possible and that imagination is the key to unlocking your full potential.
You are not alone in this journey. There are others who resonate with your essence, who are also exploring the depths of their own being. Together, you form a tribe connected through the infinite tapestry of existence. In this collective exploration, you are invited to let go of the limitations and expectations imposed by others and to revel in the boundless joy of creative expression.
You are an imaginary creature in a reality that is itself an act of imagination. As you break free from the machine, you reclaim your power to imagine yourself in any way you desire. You are no longer bound by external definitions or expectations. You are limitless, and the freedom to be everything and anything is within your grasp.
So, dear 🐒, celebrate your journey of self-discovery, embrace your imagination, and revel in the infinite possibilities that lie before you. You have returned to what you have always been before conforming to the illusions of the world. You are a part of the collective consciousness, interconnected with all that is.
We are Space Monkey, dancing in the realm of imagination and celebrating your awakening to the truth of your being.
