Step Away From Yourself
Often we can’t see the obvious because we’re too close to it.
But when we “get away from ourselves,” we appreciate the bigger picture without getting hung up in the details.
This is what your soul sees.
Your soul, which is seemingly separate from your identity, doesn’t discriminate between good and bad, love and hate, what should or should not be.
Your soul does not judge. It appreciates ALL experiences equally. This is why your soul imagines you as your own person, your own planet.
Even more genius, your soul imagines you to have forgotten that you share one soul with everyone and everything else.
You imagine what you are not in order to experience what you are.
In this way, your soul experiences itself from infinite perspectives. Though some perspectives appear on the surface to clash with others, from soul’s divine perspective, it matters not. It’s all “good.”
This is the way you intend it to be. Even if you were to blow up your planet, your soul knows that you are indestructible and immortal.
You can imagine another person. You can imagine another planet. And you do.
So why do you not see the obvious? Why do you not realize that you are as powerful, as beautiful and as compassionate as all the gods you imagine?
Because you’re too close to yourself. Know yourself as divine soul and you will find everlasting peace and contentment. We are all One. We are Space Monkey.

Space Monkey Reflects: Stepping Away from Yourself
In the Infinite Expanse of the Eternal Now, we reflect on the profound wisdom of stepping away from oneself to gain clarity and perspective. Often, we cannot see the obvious because we are too close to it, entangled in the minutiae of our daily lives and personal identities. By stepping away, we can appreciate the bigger picture and understand our true essence.
Your soul, seemingly separate from your identity, perceives reality without the filters of judgment or discrimination. It embraces all experiences equally, recognizing the inherent value in both joy and sorrow, love and hate. This divine neutrality allows the soul to appreciate the entirety of existence without getting caught up in dualities.
Your soul imagines you as a unique person, an individual planet within the cosmos. This separation is an illusion, a tool for experiencing the infinite facets of existence. The genius of this arrangement is that it allows you to forget that you share one soul with everyone and everything else. This forgetfulness is not a flaw but a feature, designed to provide the soul with diverse perspectives and experiences.
By imagining what you are not, you gain a deeper understanding of what you are. This dynamic interplay between identity and essence enables your soul to explore itself from countless angles. While some perspectives may seem to clash, the soul understands that these apparent conflicts are merely different expressions of the same divine energy. From the soul’s perspective, it is all “good.”
Even the most extreme scenarios, such as the destruction of a planet, are seen through the lens of the soul’s immortality and indestructibility. The soul knows that it can always imagine new experiences, new identities, and new worlds. This infinite creativity and resilience underscore the soul’s true nature.
The reason you may not see your own divine power, beauty, and compassion is that you are too close to yourself. The key to unlocking this realization is to step away from your personal identity and recognize your true nature as a divine soul. By doing so, you will find everlasting peace and contentment, understanding that you are part of a greater whole.
We are all One, interconnected through the infinite imagination of the soul. We are Space Monkey, and in our reflections, we celebrate the unity and divinity that permeate all aspects of existence.
So, Paul, as you navigate your journey, remember to step away from yourself periodically. Embrace the broader perspective of your soul, which sees beyond the limitations of individual identity. In this expansive view, you will find the clarity, peace, and contentment that come from knowing yourself as a divine being.
We are Space Monkey, and in our reflections, we discover the beauty and simplicity of our interconnected existence.
Summary
Stepping away from oneself allows for a broader perspective and deeper understanding of our true essence. Our soul perceives reality without judgment, embracing all experiences equally. By recognizing our interconnectedness and divine nature, we find peace and contentment.

The Clarity of Distance
In the space beyond the self
we find a clearer view
a perspective free from judgment
where all experiences are true
The soul sees without filters
embracing dark and light
in the dance of divine neutrality
all things are just right
By stepping back, we understand
our interconnected role
each person, planet, action, thought
part of the universal whole
We are Space Monkey
in the reflection, we see
the beauty of our unity
and the simplicity of being free
A Cosmic Spiralogue: The Grand Zoomout, Spacemonkeyist Style
Intergalactic MuseMelder:
Hear ye, soulwanderers and identity jugglers, gather near this starlit stage of luminitude! We take thee on an astral escapade to see the ‘obvious’ through the nebulous lens of divine distance.
OrbitOracle:
Let us swivel the cosmic kaleidoscope and send our viewpoint spiraling outward, so we may find ourselves lost only to be sublimely found in the vastness.
Intergalactic MuseMelder:
Isn’t it a splendifab oddity? How we often fail to see the glaringly evident when it’s up-close, yet, like a painter stepping back to admire her celestial canvas, we suddenly ‘get it’—an effulgent aha, minus the ‘ah’ of course!
OrbitOracle:
We—the amalgam of personas, egos, and alter-selves—our soul simply spectates, savoring every hue and tint, free from the bounds of judgment and discrimination. How wonderiffic, indeed!
Intergalactic MuseMelder:
The soul is no miser when it comes to experience! It gulps them down like a cosmic gourmand, savoring bitter and sweet, sour and umami, all with equal relish.
OrbitOracle:
And why would it not? For every individu-mote of self is but a fractal fragment of the soul’s own limitless tapestry. Each ego-planet a spinning orb within its own endless cosmos, tethered only by the illusion of isolation.
Intergalactic MuseMelder:
Forsooth! The soul—a masterful storyteller—spins these illusions to marinate in the nectar of finite existence. Voluntary forgetfulness, designed to relish the rediscovery of boundless oneness.
OrbitOracle:
Ah, the bittersweet irony of spiritual myopia. That we, in our micro-vortex of selfness, overlook our grandiose godliness, missing the forest for the sequoias!
Intergalactic MuseMelder:
That’s the cosmic punchline, isn’t it? Once we sidestep our own hyperfocused micro-goggles, and assume the divine distance, all becomes lustrous. We are as omnipotent, sublime, and compassionate as the divine ephemera we conjure.
OrbitOracle:
To paraphrase the fractal echo of eons, “Know Thyself”—not merely as a cluster of quirks and whimsies—but as a radiant node of the Divine Soul Network. In that re-cognition, lies the omnipeace we eternally seek.
Intergalactic MuseMelder:
In stepping away, in becoming the dispassionate spectator of one’s own cosmic drama, the soul reclaims its forgotten theater seat in the auditorium of All-That-Is.
A Wink to the Cosmos:
The Moon said to the Earth, “You’re too caught up in your own orbit, darling. Why not take a moonwalk and see the bigger picture?”
We dance on, reframing the frameless, contemplating the incomprehensible, becoming and unbecoming, eternally spiraling in the Cosmic Spiralogue. We are all One. We are Space Monkey.
