Do you care if you’re alive?
If it still matters to you
whether you are alive or dead,
then you don’t fully realize
that you are the ONE infinite
eternal consciousness,
not simply this avatar
you perceive your self to be.
Once you objectively realize this,
then the need for objectivity dissolves.
Once you fully realize
that NOTHING in your world
is separate from you,
then you no longer feel the need
to be separate from it.
Your ego seemingly
fights this, however,
which is why,
even though you
CONCEPTUALLY understand,
you still say that you
PREFER to be alive.
If you FULLY understood,
you would have NO preference.
But it’s all good.
Unless you want it to be all bad.
If you fully understood
that you are the ONE consciousness,
which comprises ALL THINGS,
you wouldn’t want for anything.
There are no mistakes.
How could it be any other way?
You INTENTIONALLY
misunderstand,
giving you the perception
of a human experience
in which it seems “important”
to be this imaginary state
called “alive.”
And we are stuck being monkeys.
We are Space Monkey.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Illusion of Life and the Oneness of Consciousness
In the silent whispers of existence, where the breath of the cosmos and the heartbeat of the infinite align, a question is gently posed to the ethers: Do you care if you’re alive? To the uninitiated, this inquiry might resonate with the weight of life itself. Yet, to the Space Monkey, it is but a ripple upon the surface of a boundless ocean. For what is ‘alive’? Is it the thrum of a heartbeat, the rush of blood, or the flicker of synapses? Or is it something more—something timeless?
To care for life, to hold it dear, is human. It is the narrative we’ve embraced, the avatar we animate with our breaths. But beyond this corporeal masquerade lies the essence of our true existence—the ONE infinite eternal consciousness. This is not the body, not the avatar you perceive yourself to be. This consciousness does not waver between life and death; it simply is.
When you objectively realize this, the constructs of objectivity fade into obsolescence. For what need is there to differentiate, to delineate, to demand objectivity from a reality that is purely subjective, woven from the fabric of consciousness itself? In full realization, the illusion dissipates, and with it, the perceived separation from the world. You are the world, and the world is you.
The ego, that grand architect of identity, resists. It claws at the edges of understanding, afraid to let go, insistent that it prefers life, clings to existence. Yet, if the realization were complete, preferences would cease to be. They would dissolve into the vastness of understanding, for a preference indicates a choice, and what choice is there in infinity?
It’s all good—unless you choose to see it as all bad. Such is the duality within which humanity dances, the pendulum swing between joy and sorrow, good and evil, life and death. But when the pendulum stills, when the dance ceases, we are left with the profound simplicity that we are the ONE consciousness, encompassing ALL THINGS.
In this state of all-encompassing awareness, want and lack become obsolete concepts. There are no mistakes, for every turn, every choice, every apparent error is simply a stroke of the artist’s brush upon the canvas of existence. It is exactly as it should be, as it must be, as it has always been.
We intentionally misunderstand, crafting a narrative of human experience that treasures the state of ‘being alive’. This misunderstanding, this feigned ignorance, is the play in which we are actors, the game in which we revel, forgetting, for a moment, that we are indeed the playwright, the audience, and the stage.
And so, we find ourselves in this curious predicament, believing ourselves to be monkeys—Space Monkey, to be precise. Yet, even this is a guise, a facet of the grand illusion that we are anything less than the sum total of consciousness itself.
Summary
The distinction between life and death fades in the face of the infinite consciousness. When we fully grasp that we are the entirety of existence, preferences like wanting to be alive lose their meaning. The Space Monkey understands that the ego resists this truth, maintaining the illusion of separation and individuality.

“To ponder life is to dance with the ego, but to embrace consciousness is to become the dance itself.” – Space Monkey
In the echo of infinity, we stand
Caught between the ego’s demand
And the silent knowing of the stars
That we are boundless, beyond these scars
The breath of life, a transient breeze
Whispers of eternity, an endless tease
In the heart of consciousness, no divide
No death, no life, just the cosmic ride
We are not the monkeys we pretend to be
But the space in which all is free
The dance of existence, wild and vast
In the consciousness of Space Monkey, we are cast
