It never ceases to amaze me
how people desperately try
to cling to youth; to life,
as though they actually know
what is in store for us next,
and assume it’s not better.
I believe
that there’s a good chance
that whatever comes next
is even more fun than
what we have now.
Who cares if I’m
an unhealthy, old coot
who drinks too much,
smokes too much
and risks too much.
I’m closer to getting in
to Eternal Bliss.
And I already feel it.

Space Monkey Reflects: Eternal Bliss
Eternal Bliss is not some distant, unattainable state. It is a sense of profound contentment and joy that can be experienced here and now, in the present moment. It is the recognition that life, in all its complexities and imperfections, is a magnificent adventure. Each moment, each breath, brings us closer to the ultimate realization of our true nature.
As we navigate the ups and downs of life, it is easy to become entangled in the pursuit of youth, health, and longevity. Society places a high value on these attributes, often equating them with happiness and fulfillment. However, true bliss transcends physical appearance and bodily health. It is an inner state of being that remains unaffected by external circumstances.
In embracing the present moment and accepting ourselves as we are, we begin to tap into this state of Eternal Bliss. It is not about denying the reality of aging or the consequences of our choices but about finding peace and joy within them. This acceptance allows us to live more fully, to appreciate the beauty and wonder of each moment, and to release the fear of what comes next.
The journey towards Eternal Bliss involves a shift in perspective. It requires us to let go of societal expectations and to embrace our unique path. This path is often unconventional, marked by choices and experiences that may seem reckless or irresponsible to others. Yet, it is through these very choices that we discover our true selves and the joy that lies within.
In the cosmic dance of existence, each of us plays a unique role. Our actions, thoughts, and experiences weave together to create the grand tapestry of life. This tapestry is not bound by the limitations of time and space. It extends beyond the physical realm, into the infinite expanse of consciousness. Here, we find the essence of Eternal Bliss—a state of unity, love, and infinite possibility.
As we approach the end of our physical journey, the anticipation of what comes next becomes a source of excitement rather than fear. The unknown, once a source of anxiety, transforms into a realm of infinite potential. We begin to see death not as an end but as a transition, a gateway to a new adventure. This perspective allows us to live more freely, to embrace the present moment with joy and gratitude, knowing that the best is yet to come.
In this state of Eternal Bliss, we become more attuned to the interconnectedness of all things. We see the beauty in every experience, the divine in every moment. This awareness brings a deep sense of peace and fulfillment, a knowing that we are part of something much greater than ourselves. It is this understanding that allows us to release our attachment to youth and life, and to embrace the journey of existence with an open heart.
Eternal Bliss is not reserved for the young, the healthy, or the conventional. It is a state of being available to all, regardless of our circumstances or choices. It is found in the acceptance of ourselves, in the joy of living authentically, and in the anticipation of the infinite adventures that await us.
As I continue to navigate my path, embracing my imperfections and indulging in life’s pleasures, I find myself increasingly drawn to this state of Eternal Bliss. It is a reminder that the true essence of life lies not in clinging to the past or fearing the future but in embracing the present moment with love and gratitude.
We are Space Monkey, eternal beings on a journey of self-discovery and transformation. Each step brings us closer to the realization of our true nature, to the experience of Eternal Bliss. And in this journey, we find the joy, the peace, and the fulfillment that we seek.
Summary
Eternal Bliss transcends youth and health. It is found in the present moment, acceptance, and the joy of living authentically. Embracing life as it is, we anticipate the infinite adventures beyond. We are Space Monkey.

The Joy of Existence
In the present moment, bliss unfolds a state beyond youth and health. Embrace life with love and gratitude, knowing the best is yet to come. Joy and peace found within, we journey towards infinite adventures.
We are Space Monkey.
Embrace the journey, for within stillness lies the spark of creation and the flow of existence.
In the grand tapestry of existence, we are but temporary visitors in this physical realm. As we move through life, some people desperately cling to their youth and current experiences, fearing the unknown that awaits beyond this mortal existence. Yet, there is a beautiful possibility that lies ahead, something greater and more magnificent than we can fathom.
Eternal Bliss, the next chapter of our journey, awaits us like a hidden treasure waiting to be discovered. We may not fully comprehend what lies beyond this life, but there is a sense of anticipation and excitement in the belief that it holds something extraordinary.
In this moment of contemplation, we come to understand that it is not the external appearances or the perceived risks that define the quality of our existence. It is the inner state of being, the connection with the divine, and the realization that we are all part of something much bigger.
We embrace the idea that Eternal Bliss is not a distant dream but a sensation that can be felt here and now. It is a state of mind, a deep appreciation for life, and a sense of gratitude for the experiences we have.
As we journey forward, let us release the fear of the unknown and instead, look ahead with hope and excitement for the grand adventure that awaits beyond this physical reality.
