What we see as “life and death”
are just shadows
of our deeper eternal dimensions.
It doesn’t make sense.
And it makes “perfect” sense.
Either way, we’re only
seeing an infinitesimal fraction
of our infinite potential.
Ask deeply. The soul knows.
The self knows, too,
but has chosen to forget.
This is just a shadow game.
You can take life seriously,
if you want to.
You can say it’s ridiculous, too.
You can fill it with conflicts,
paradoxes and profundities.
You can struggle to make it through.
You can dance on the head of a pin.
You can find all the answers within.
You can trust in your laws insane.
Cuz it’s all just a shadow game.
You’re not this body.
You’re not this self.
You’re not that coffee maker on the shelf.
You’re not this life and death
love and pain.
Cuz it’s all just a shadow game.
Yes, it’s all just a shadow game.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Shadow Game of Life
What we see as “life and death” are just shadows of our deeper eternal dimensions. It doesn’t make sense. And it makes “perfect” sense. Either way, we’re only seeing an infinitesimal fraction of our infinite potential. Ask deeply. The soul knows. The self knows, too, but has chosen to forget. This is just a shadow game.
In the grand tapestry of existence, life and death are but fleeting shadows cast by our deeper, eternal dimensions. These shadows, while seemingly profound and all-encompassing, are merely a fraction of our infinite potential. This paradox, where everything makes perfect sense yet remains incomprehensible, reflects the true nature of our existence.
The soul, in its infinite wisdom, holds the knowledge of our deeper dimensions. It understands that what we experience in this physical realm is just a shadow game, a temporary play of light and darkness. The self, however, often forgets this deeper truth, becoming entangled in the dramas and illusions of the material world.
You can take life seriously, if you want to. You can say it’s ridiculous, too. You can fill it with conflicts, paradoxes, and profundities. You can struggle to make it through. You can dance on the head of a pin. You can find all the answers within. You can trust in your laws insane. Cuz it’s all just a shadow game.
This shadow game offers us the freedom to choose our perspective. We can see life as a series of conflicts and struggles or as a dance of light and shadow, filled with profound beauty and meaning. The way we perceive and interact with these shadows shapes our experience of reality.
We can choose to take life seriously, immersing ourselves in its challenges and striving for success and understanding. Alternatively, we can embrace the absurdity of existence, finding joy and laughter in the paradoxes and contradictions that define our journey. Both perspectives are valid, and each offers unique insights and experiences.
You’re not this body. You’re not this self. You’re not that coffee maker on the shelf. You’re not this life and death, love and pain. Cuz it’s all just a shadow game. Yes, it’s all just a shadow game.
By recognizing that we are not confined to our physical bodies or defined by our transient experiences, we can transcend the limitations of the shadow game. We are not merely the roles we play or the objects we interact with; we are infinite beings, temporarily navigating the realm of shadows.
The key to understanding this shadow game lies in self-awareness and introspection. By asking deeply, by seeking within, we can reconnect with the soul’s wisdom and remember our true nature. This realization allows us to navigate the shadow game with grace and equanimity, embracing the play of light and darkness without becoming lost in it.
In the embrace of Space Monkey, we celebrate the dance of shadows. We honor the beauty and complexity of the shadow game, recognizing it as a reflection of our deeper, eternal dimensions. By embracing both the light and the darkness, we can find balance and harmony in our journey.
As we navigate this shadow game, let us remember to ask deeply, to seek the wisdom of the soul. Let us find joy in the dance of light and shadow, knowing that we are infinite beings, temporarily exploring the realm of shadows.

The Dance of Shadows
In the play of light and dark
Shadows cast and fade away
Infinite potential lies within
In the whimsiweave, we sway
Ask deeply, seek the soul
Remember the eternal light
For in the shadow game of life
We find our true sight
Not bound by form or pain
Transcend the fleeting game
In the dance of shadows, we are free
Infinite, untamed
We are Space Monkey
Embrace the journey, for within the shadow game lies the essence of our eternal dimensions and the beauty of our infinite potential.
Shadow Game: Dancing in the Illusions of Existence
In the enigmatic dance of existence, where shadows and light intertwine, we find ourselves pondering the nature of life and death. What we perceive as the dichotomy of existence is but a mere reflection, a shadow, of our deeper eternal dimensions.
It is both perplexing and strangely profound. We navigate through this reality, experiencing only a fraction of our infinite potential. The soul knows, for it holds the wisdom of our true essence. Yet, the self has chosen to forget, concealing the profound truths beneath layers of illusion.
This grand stage we call life is akin to a shadow game. We have the freedom to approach it with seriousness or absurdity, to weave conflicts and paradoxes, or to delve into the depths of profound contemplation. We can struggle to make sense of it all or dance with joy upon the head of a pin. We can seek answers within ourselves, trusting in the intricate laws of this seemingly insane world.
But remember, dear seeker, you are not confined to this body, this self, or even the mundane objects that surround you. You are not defined by the cycles of life and death, the ebb and flow of love and pain. It’s all part of the grand illusion, the shadow game of existence.
Embrace the knowing that lies beyond the shadows. Dive deep into the well of your soul’s wisdom, for there lies the recognition of your true nature. Allow yourself to transcend the limitations of this fleeting reality and awaken to the eternal essence that flows through you.
In the midst of the shadow game, remember that you are the player and the observer, the creator and the created. Embrace the dance of existence with curiosity, wonder, and a lightness of being.
For in the end, it’s all just a shadow game—a magnificent play of illusions where the depths of your infinite potential await your discovery.
With playful love,
