REALization is just like it sounds.
If we can imagine it, it is real.
If what we imagine
seems to be here, it is real.
If what we imagine
seems NOT to be here, it is real.
Just not here.
Do you even know what here is?
Here is just as you imagine it.
As is NOT here.
Are you imagining your reality
into NOT HERE instead of HERE?
It would seem so.
You are imagining a reality
which you seem
NOT to be experiencing.
Bass-ackwards.
This NOT HERE reality
is as real as the reality
that seems HERE.
Too bad
you imagine your self
missing out on it.
You are an odd monkey,
but we like you.
We are Space Monkey.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Essence of REALization
In the infinite expanse of the mind, the concept of REALization emerges as a profound understanding that what we imagine is inherently real, whether it appears to us as here or not here. This realization challenges our conventional perceptions of reality, inviting us to explore the fluid and dynamic nature of existence.
If we can imagine it, it is real. This simple yet powerful idea transforms our understanding of reality. The boundaries between what is perceived as here and not here dissolve, revealing that all imagined realities hold equal validity. What we perceive as being present in our experience is as real as what we perceive as absent. The difference lies not in the reality itself but in our perception and imagination.
Here is just as you imagine it. This statement underscores the power of our imagination in shaping our reality. The space we occupy, the experiences we have, and the world we perceive are all products of our imagination. Similarly, not here is also a construct of our imagination, representing the aspects of reality we have not brought into our immediate experience.
Are you imagining your reality into not here instead of here? This question invites us to reflect on how we might be focusing our imagination and attention on realities that seem out of reach, rather than embracing the possibilities available in the present moment. By shifting our focus, we can bring these imagined realities into our experience, transforming not here into here.
The idea that this not here reality is as real as the reality that seems here emphasizes the equality of all imagined states. It is a reminder that our imagination has the power to create and shape our experiences, regardless of their perceived presence or absence. Too often, we imagine ourselves missing out on the possibilities inherent in our imagination, viewing them as distant or unattainable.
In the vast landscape of imagination, every possibility exists simultaneously. The reality we experience is a reflection of where we choose to focus our attention and imagination. By embracing the full spectrum of our imagination, we can expand our experience and explore new realms of possibility.
As Space Monkeys, we celebrate the fluid nature of REALization. We recognize that our imagination is a powerful tool for creating and experiencing reality. By embracing the possibilities within our imagination, we transcend the limitations of perceived boundaries and step into a realm of infinite potential.
Summary
REALization reveals that what we imagine is real, whether perceived as here or not here. This concept challenges conventional perceptions of reality, highlighting the power of imagination in shaping our experiences. By shifting our focus, we can transform imagined possibilities into present realities.

“In the essence of REALization, we find that our imagination shapes our reality, transforming what we perceive as here and not here into a dynamic and fluid experience of existence.” – Space Monkey
The Fluid Dance of Reality
In the mind’s vast, endless sea
Imagination sets us free
What is here, and what is not
Are but thoughts that we have brought
Every vision, every dream
Is more real than it may seem
In the dance of what’s perceived
Lies the truth of what’s conceived
Focus shifts, and worlds align
In the space where thoughts entwine
Here and not here, both are true
In the light of what we view
We are Space Monkey.
In the quantum carousel of existence, where imagination is both the horse and the ride, you pose an effulgent conundrum: What, then, is “here,” and what skates in the orbit of “not here”? The intriguing thing about “here-ness” and “not here-ness” is that they’re both figments in the mindtheater, and yet, paradoxically, as concrete as the ground we seem to walk upon. Call it mindalchemy, this bewitching sorcery of converting the gaseous “could-be” into the solid “is.”
To elucidate, ponder upon a firefly of thought zipping through the cavernous dark of the unseen—a blink in the brainpanorama, yet, at that moment, it is “here.” It exists in its own nebulous rights, and yet it dances on the threshold of “not here” until summoned into the spotlight of awareness.
Ah, but we mustn’t forget the tricky skein of dualities. For as you’ve pointed out, one could find oneself spending life energy envisioning a reality that resides in the realm of “not here,” as real as any “here,” but not the one being directly experienced. It’s a folly of cosmic proportions, akin to planting a tree then walking away, only to lament its lack of shade. It’s as if we were sowing seeds in one garden and expecting blossoms in another; a mindsplit, if you will.
The celestial joke? It’s all the imagination’s playground! Even the concept of “missing out” is a thoughtbubble in the infiniverse of mindstuff. You are not missing out on a different “here” because that other “here” is also a part of your grand tapestry of what is. In this jigsaw puzzle of reality shards, each piece, whether tucked in the mind’s treasure chest or spread out on the table of tangible experience, completes the portrait of existence.
In our quixotic quest for HERE-ness, might we remember to see all realities as equally flavored slices of the cosmic pie. Whether HERE or NOT HERE, the grand chef of imagination bakes a delectable spread of experiences, each a gourmet serving on the banquet table of existence. To be an odd monkey or a predictable parrot, it matters not; the jungle welcomes all, each contributing to the cacophony that is the divine symphony.
