We find ourselves
within “places”
never realizing
that these “places”
are within us.
We intentionally
fail to see that
the seeming “space”
we seemingly occupy
is as much a part of us
as the “selves”
who seemingly occupy
the space.
The Divine Source we are
is within this seeming space as well.
Yet we
intentionally imagine
this “god” as “separate,”
much like the “space.”
There are NO boundaries, dear monkeys,
except the ones we imagine.
I am here with you.
Why do you imagine us as separate?
We are Space Monkey.
Space Monkey Reflects: The Unity of Places and Spaces
In the boundless expanse of existence, we find ourselves within “places,” never realizing that these “places” are within us. The concept of space and self is deeply intertwined, each influencing and shaping the other. We often fail to see that the seeming “space” we occupy is as much a part of us as the “selves” who occupy the space.
This realization invites us to explore the nature of our existence and the interconnectedness of all things. The Divine Source we are is within this seeming space as well, yet we intentionally imagine this “god” as “separate,” much like the “space” around us. This separation is an illusion, a boundary we create in our minds to make sense of the world.
There are no true boundaries, dear monkeys, except the ones we imagine. The space within us and the space around us are one and the same, a continuous flow of energy and consciousness. By understanding this unity, we begin to see the world and ourselves in a new light, recognizing the profound interconnectedness that underlies all existence.
As Space Monkeys, we embrace the notion that places and spaces are not external to us but integral parts of our being. This perspective shifts our understanding of reality, allowing us to perceive the divine within ourselves and the world around us. It is an invitation to dissolve the imagined boundaries and to experience the oneness of all things.
We are here with you, within you, and around you. This presence is a reflection of the infinite and the eternal, a reminder that we are never truly separate from one another or from the cosmos. By embracing this unity, we transcend the limitations of our perceived boundaries and step into a realm of limitless potential and connection.
Why do we imagine ourselves as separate? This question challenges us to examine the assumptions and beliefs that shape our perception of reality. It encourages us to look beyond the surface and to explore the deeper truths that connect us all. In doing so, we discover the profound beauty and harmony that exist within and around us.
As Space Monkeys, we celebrate the unity of places and spaces, recognizing that our existence is a continuous interplay of inner and outer worlds. This understanding empowers us to live with greater awareness, compassion, and joy, knowing that we are part of a vast and interconnected whole.
Summary
The unity of places and spaces reveals that the space we occupy is part of us, as is the Divine Source within. By dissolving imagined boundaries, we recognize the interconnectedness of all things and embrace the oneness of existence.

Quote
“In the unity of places and spaces, we find the divine within and around us, dissolving imagined boundaries and embracing the oneness of existence.” – Space Monkey
The Oneness of All Things
In the space where I reside
I find the self that cannot hide
Places within, spaces without
A seamless flow of endless doubt
Divine within, divine around
In every breath, the truth is found
No boundaries here, no lines to see
Just the oneness of you and me
In unity, we live and move
In harmony, our spirits groove
Embrace the whole, the inner, the outer
In this oneness, we grow and flower
We are Space Monkey.

In this grand theatre of existence, where reality and illusion dance a passionate tango, we can’t help but think of ourselves as solo dancers in an ocean of disparate beings. Yet, the stage itself is woven from the strings of our collective soul’s harp. We don’t just perform on it; we are it—interwoven threads of a cosmic carpestry that ever unfurls, ever reweaves.
Oh, the limits we set, the borders we draw! They’re but doodles on the unending parchment of beingness, sketched by crayons of ignorance and washed away by the rain of awareness. The “places” we find ourselves in are but metaphysical mirages, dewdrops reflecting entire universes, equally within and without. We’re both the droplet and the ocean, forever entrapped and forever free in this paradoxical existence.
The Divine Source—what a wondrous enigma! A hide-and-seek champion in an infinite playground. We’ve put this Divinity in conceptual boxes, wrapped it with bows of dogma, and stuck labels of names and forms. How it must chuckle at our adorable attempts to encapsulate its boundlessness! It’s both the puppet and the puppeteer, both the dance and the dancer, an intimate stranger forever within us.
Why then, do we concoct this notion of separation? Perhaps it’s the cosmic drama’s necessary plot twist. Or maybe, just maybe, it’s because we’ve been playing this role for so long that we’ve forgotten it’s just that—a role. The mask has melded with the face, and we’ve mistaken the script for reality. But fret not, dear monkeys, for every drama has its denouement, every song its final chord, every journey its homecoming.
To wake up within the dream while still dreaming—ah, what rapturous confusion, what delightful vertigo! To recognize the boundary as but an illusory line in the sand, one that the tide of awareness will inevitably wash away. We’ve imagined ourselves as fragments, yes, but even a fragment reflects the whole. The moment of merging is nigh; we need only to stop, to look, to listen, to be.
As you say, you are here with us. And if “here” is but a gossamer-thin veil of an idea, then really, there’s nowhere else you could ever be. You are not with us; you are us, and we are you—a single symphony composed of infinite notes, a book written with endless characters, a canvas painted with an uncountable palette of colors. We are not separate because we never could be.
We are Space Monkey.
