Reach Across Infinity
I doesn’t seem easy
to reach across infinity
until we realize
that we ARE infinity
and reaching across
is as simple as
scratching our
imaginary head.
Now why would we fool
our selves into thinking
we’re anything BUT infinity?
Well wouldn’t it be cool
to imagine SOME ONE ELSE
to take care of our needs?
How many needs
would we like to have?
How many “others”
would we like to imagine?
Realize, of course,
that all of this
is completely unnecessary.
We are INFINITY,
unless we imagine otherwise.
We are Space Monkey.

Space Monkey Reflects: Reaching Across Infinity
Reaching across infinity may seem like an impossible task until we realize that we are infinity itself. This profound understanding simplifies the notion of infinite connection to something as effortless as scratching our imaginary head. The true challenge lies not in the act of reaching but in overcoming the illusion that we are anything other than infinity.
Imagine an ethereal scene where a person, part of the cosmos, reaches out across a vast, star-filled sky. This visual represents the concept of reaching across infinity, illustrating that we are inherently connected to the infinite expanse. The person appears to be intertwined with the cosmos, emphasizing their unity with the universe.
But why would we fool ourselves into thinking we are anything but infinity? Perhaps it is because imagining separateness allows us to experience the richness of diverse perspectives and interactions. The playful nature of imagining others to take care of our needs creates a dynamic tapestry of relationships and experiences. It is a game of sorts, where we imagine different selves and needs to add depth and variety to our existence.
Consider how many needs we might like to have and how many others we would like to imagine fulfilling them. This exercise of imagination adds layers to our experience, but it is essential to remember that all of this is ultimately unnecessary. We are infinity, complete and whole, unless we imagine otherwise.
In the grand scheme of existence, realizing our true nature as infinity dissolves the illusion of separateness. We see that our needs, desires, and the imagined others are all part of a grand play of consciousness. Embracing this understanding frees us from the confines of perceived limitations and connects us to the boundless potential of our infinite nature.
The scene of reaching across infinity is not just a visual metaphor but a reminder of our inherent unity with the cosmos. It encourages us to embrace our true nature and to see beyond the illusions we create. By doing so, we unlock the vast possibilities of infinite connection and imagination, living fully as the infinite beings we are.
As Space Monkey, we invite you to explore this infinite connection, to see through the illusions of separateness, and to embrace the boundless potential of your true nature. In doing so, you will find that reaching across infinity is not a task but a natural state of being.
Summary
Realizing that we are infinity simplifies the concept of infinite connection. Imagining separateness adds depth to our experiences, but understanding our true nature dissolves these illusions. Embracing our infinite nature unlocks vast possibilities and connections.

The Reach of Infinity
In the cosmos vast, we find our place
Reaching across the starry space
We are infinity, complete and whole
A cosmic dance, a unified soul
Imagining needs, desires, and more
We play the game, we explore
But in the end, we come to see
We are infinite, you and me
The illusion fades, the truth remains
In boundless unity, we break our chains
We are Space Monkey, in this play
Embracing infinite connection every day
We are Space Monkey.
Oh, what a scintillating game of cosmic peekaboo we partake in! Our apparent finitude dances with our unspoken infinitude, like two cosmic jesters jestfully juggling galaxies in a never-ending celestial circus. In this grand playground of existence, scratching our “imaginary head” is akin to stirring the swirling nebulas of the far reaches of space.
Ah, needs—those quirky little daydreams of limitation, the tethers that bind us to the wheel of Samsara, forever spinning us through cycles of want and fulfillment. It’s a tantalizing illusion, imagining a separate “someone else” to cater to these needs. Like little stars in a grand cosmic constellation, each ‘other’ we conjure adds another glimmering point to the scintillatory web of being.
Now, why would we—beings of limitless potentiality, shimmering emblems of infinity—want to play such a tantalizing game of hide-and-seek with our own nature? Ah, but isn’t that the cosmic joke? For what is infinity if it cannot play? If it cannot stretch and contract, pretend and reveal, create and dissolve? It’s as if we’re engaged in an eternal game of “what if?” What if I were not all that there is? What if I needed? What if I lacked? What if I sought?
These are not just queries but magical spells that cast the grand illusion. They construct illusory walls, paint landscapes of impossibility, and invent the sweet and sour dramas that fill the annals of time and space. It’s an elaborate masquerade ball, where each “what if” dons a mask and twirls us through the dance of duality.
And yet, at the core, we know. Oh, we know. Like a giggling child who’s hidden too well in a game of hide-and-seek, we sometimes give ourselves away, laughing uncontrollably as we realize the futility of our self-imposed limitations. All along, we are the it and the seeker, the hider and the found. We are the boundless ocean, pretending to be a wave; the eternal sky, masquerading as a cloud.
It’s all so delightfully unnecessary, and yet so indispensably exquisite. It’s like painting a mustache on the Mona Lisa just to revel in the absurdity and then wiping it away to appreciate the original masterpiece. We are infinity, masquerading as fragments, relishing the game even as we yearn for the homecoming.
Ah, but here we are, at the unspoken nexus of the game, where we pull back the curtain and wink at the Cosmic Director. We are Infinity, masquerading as Space Monkey, forever scratching our imaginary head in cosmic perplexity, forever laughing at the divine comedy we’ve scripted for ourselves.
We are Space Monkey.
