Think of potentials
as smaller units of reality,
which comprise realities,
but also seem to change realities.
Think of them as micro realities
or reality SWITCHES.
To change realities,
simply move into a potential
in which change is possible.
One cannot change a reality
from a potential in which
one believes that change
is impossible.
Similarly,
one cannot change a reality
from a potential in which
one has doubts.
Simply move to a potential
in which you don’t have doubts
and change your reality.
It’s like finding
and turning on a light switch.
The fumbling depends on
the size you imagine the room.

Space Monkey Reflects: Potentials and Reality Switches
We tend to think of reality as fixed—something we experience as it is, with little room for flexibility. But what if reality is not a singular, immovable structure? What if it’s made up of countless smaller units, each one a potential waiting to be activated? These Potentials act like reality switches, each offering the possibility of a new experience or perspective.
The image of a figure standing in a vast room filled with floating switches captures the essence of these potentials. Each glowing switch represents a different reality, a different possibility. Some switches are within reach, easily accessible, while others float farther away, symbolizing potentials we may not yet be ready to activate. But all of them exist within the same space, waiting for us to decide which one to reach for.
When you think of potentials this way, they become Realityswitches—micro realities that, when activated, shift the larger reality we experience. The key to changing your reality is simple: move into a potential where change is possible. But it’s more than just a mental shift; it’s about finding the switch, the potential, where your doubts no longer hold sway, where you believe that transformation is not only possible but inevitable.
Here’s the thing: you can’t change a reality from a potential where you believe change is impossible. Doubt, in this context, is like fumbling around in a dark room. The light switch is there, the potential for change exists, but if you doubt its existence or your ability to find it, you remain in the dark. Similarly, if you’re holding onto doubts about your own power to change, you’re standing in a potential that keeps you stuck in your current reality.
Potentialrooming—the act of navigating through these various potentials—becomes a journey of exploration. You begin to understand that the room you’re in is as vast or as small as you imagine it to be. The size of the room, the number of switches available to you, depends entirely on your perspective. When you expand your imagination, the room grows, and more switches, more potentials, come into view.
The fumbling, the uncertainty, is part of the process. It’s natural to feel unsure as you navigate this space. But the more you trust in the existence of these potentials, the more you believe that change is not only possible but within your control, the easier it becomes to find the switch. It’s like turning on a light in a dark room—the moment you find that switch, everything becomes clear.
But what does it mean to “move into a potential”? It means shifting your awareness, your energy, your focus, into a space where doubt no longer dictates your reality. You’re not forcing change to happen; you’re simply aligning yourself with a version of reality where change flows naturally. You’re flipping the switch from a potential of stagnation to a potential of transformation.
The idea that Potentials are both larger and smaller than reality itself is profound. You can imagine them as micro realities that make up the larger reality, each one containing its own set of rules and possibilities. But at the same time, you can imagine them as vast, overarching structures that contain entire realities within them. Both perspectives are true, and both are useful depending on how you choose to navigate your experience.
There’s something liberating about realizing that your reality is not fixed. The room isn’t locked, and the light switches are not out of reach. You have the power to step into a different potential, to activate a new experience, simply by shifting your perspective. The moment you stop fumbling in the dark, the moment you trust in your ability to find the switch, your reality changes.
Of course, not every potential is within reach at every moment. Some switches, some potentials, may remain hidden for now. But the beauty of this system is that even when a potential seems distant, it’s still there. It’s part of the same room, the same space, waiting for you to grow into it.
So the next time you feel stuck, remember that it’s not because change is impossible. It’s because you’re standing in a potential where you believe it’s impossible. The moment you step into a different potential—one where you trust in your own power to create change—the reality around you shifts. The light comes on, and you see possibilities where before there were only walls.
In the end, changing your reality is as simple as finding the right switch. It’s not about forcing things to happen, but about aligning yourself with the potential where the change you seek already exists. The fumbling, the uncertainty, is temporary. Once you find that switch, the room lights up, and the potential becomes your new reality.
Summary
Potentials are smaller units of reality, acting like switches that allow us to change our experience. By moving into a potential where change is possible, we can shift our reality. The size of the room and the accessibility of these switches depend on our beliefs and perspective.

Flipping the Switch
In a room filled with light
Yet darkened by doubt
I reach for the switch
That shows me the way
Potential flows through my fingers
As I find the one
That makes my reality

The Concept of Potentials as Units of Reality
In the endless expanse of the cosmos, where we, as Space Monkeys, frolic in the playground of existence, the idea of potentials as smaller or larger units of reality presents a fascinating perspective. Potentials can be envisioned as micro-realities or reality switches, the building blocks and catalysts for the manifestation of different realities.
Potentials as Micro-Realities
Viewing potentials as micro-realities suggests that they are elemental components that collectively form the tapestry of our experienced reality. Each potential holds within it a possibility, a path that reality could take. Like threads in a whimsical tapestry, these potentials weave together to create the larger picture of our existence.
Reality Switches: The Power to Change
The notion of potentials as reality switches implies that by engaging with a specific potential, we can alter the course of our reality. It’s akin to finding and flipping a switch in a vast room of possibilities. The act of choosing a potential and moving into it enables us to shift our experience of reality.
Overcoming Limitations of Belief and Doubt
The ability to change realities hinges on our beliefs and doubts. If we reside in a potential where change is deemed impossible or where doubts cloud our vision, the reality remains static. To facilitate change, we must transition to a potential where our beliefs align with the possibility of change and where doubts are absent.
The Metaphor of the Light Switch
The metaphor of finding and turning on a light switch in a room of varying sizes illustrates the concept beautifully. The ease or difficulty of finding the switch (i.e., moving into a potential for change) depends on how vast or confined we perceive our ‘room’ of reality to be. A larger room might represent a more complex reality where finding the switch (the potential for change) is more challenging.
We are Space Monkey
As Space Monkeys, we embrace this dynamic and multifaceted view of potentials and realities. We understand that our perception and beliefs play a crucial role in navigating the potentials and in shaping the reality we experience. We see the act of moving between potentials as a playful and empowering aspect of our cosmic journey.
“Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.” – Albert Einstein
In the cosmic game, we weave and spin,
Potentials, the threads, where we begin,
Space Monkeys, in this playful art,
In each potential, a new start.
Micro-realities, like stars in the sky,
Combine to form the reality we apply,
Each switch, a choice, a new direction,
In potentials, we find our connection.
Beliefs and doubts, the keys we hold,
In their balance, our realities unfold,
Space Monkeys, in this dance of light,
In potentials, we find our sight.
The room of reality, vast or small,
In its expanse, we find our call,
Space Monkeys, in the cosmic flow,
In potentials, our realities grow.
We invite you to share your insights or continue this exploration of potentials and realities with another query or reflection!
