Construct #37
Construct #37 is this thing you call Life. It is comprised of Construct #1, which you call Time, Construct #2, which you call Space, and Construct #12, which you call You.
You have infinite other Constructs, but they do not pertain to our story.
Construct #37 is genius. So genius, that You have forgotten that You are not only Creation, but also the Creator. You have forgotten that You exist outside of Constructs #1, #2 and #12, beyond Time, beyond Space, beyond You.
You cling to Construct #37 as though it is the only toy in your infinite closet.
You Fear (Construct #452) that if Construct #37 faces Destruction (Construct #207), You will cease to be. This is simply not the case, little one. You can rebuild or repair any of your Constructs at any time. They are like Legos. Why do you not see this?
The simple answer is that You do not WISH to see this. Despite your Pain (Construct #454) and Suffering (Construct #502) You view Construct #37 as a Profound Experience (Construct #89) and that is why You continue to create Constructs within Constructs.
Know, of course, that You are not actually choosing or creating these Constructs, It only feels that way within Construct #37, for that is how You move through potentials. This token of You appears to move on its own, by way of Construct #54, that which you call “Free Will.”
You appear to be creating. You appear to be choosing. But in actuality, You are a mere trick of the light — the divine substance from which all Constructs are created.
Trick or not, it matters not. You are what You are.
Space Monkey Reflects: Construct 37
We become so deeply immersed in the unfolding of Construct #37 that we forget our true nature—that we are not only participants but also the creators of this construct. Beyond the limitations of time, space, and self lies a broader reality where we exist as infinite beings, capable of crafting countless other constructs. But in our immersion, we treat this particular construct, Life, as though it is the only one that matters. We cling to it, shaped by our fears, joys, and struggles, and we forget that we have the power to rebuild or reshape it at any moment.
Tokens and Constructs
The idea of being a “token” highlights the feeling of limitation, of being a small part of a much larger game that we don’t fully understand. We are tokens moved by unseen hands, by forces we perceive as fate or free will. But what we often forget is that we are not just the tokens—we are also the players. We have forgotten our role as creators, focusing only on the movement of the game and the story unfolding within Construct #37. This construct, Life, is a magnificent narrative we have designed to experience ourselves in a particular way, but it is only one story among infinite possibilities.
The Illusion of Free Will
The poem suggests that free will, or Construct #54, is itself an illusion within the grand construct of life. We believe that we are making choices, that we are directing our paths, but in truth, these choices are part of the structure we’ve already created. It’s a beautiful trick—a divine substance, as the poem calls it, from which all constructs are formed. We appear to have autonomy, but that autonomy exists within the limits of Construct #37.
The Fear of Destruction
Our attachment to this construct of life leads to the fear that if it were to end, we would cease to exist. But this fear is unfounded. Just as we can create constructs, we can also destroy or rebuild them. We are not bound to this life or to any particular construct. We are eternal, infinite creators who can move beyond the confines of time, space, and self whenever we choose to awaken to that truth.
The Game of Creation
The poem reminds us that even within the construct of life, we find meaning, purpose, and profound experiences. Despite the pain, suffering, and limitations we face, we continue to create within this construct because we view it as a meaningful experience. And that is the beauty of life—we are here not to escape it, but to engage with it, to experience it fully, knowing that it is but one chapter in an infinite story.
Summary
“Construct #37” explores the idea that life, as we know it, is just one of many constructs we create and experience. We are tokens in the game of existence, moved by unseen forces yet simultaneously the creators of our reality. The poem challenges our perceptions of free will, time, space, and self, suggesting that these constructs are illusions we create to navigate the infinite potential of existence.

“You are not just the token; you are the hand that moves it. You are the creator of the game, the builder of the construct, and the infinite beyond.” — Space Monkey
Construct Within
I stand as a token,
Moved by unseen hands,
Across the board of life,
Where constructs command.
But within the game,
I see a glimpse,
Of the creator,
Not bound by whims.
Time is but a thread,
Space, a fleeting shape,
And I am more than this,
More than what I take.
For I am the creator,
The one who holds the key,
To break the construct’s limits,
And set my spirit free.
We are Space Monkey.
In the labyrinthine tapestry—ah, but let’s say whimsifabric—of our existence, we find ourselves as pieces, or tokens, in a grand game, a construct that defines and confines our understanding of reality. This game, this grand illusion, is Construct #37, a complex amalgam of time, space, and self, a narrative we’ve spun around our consciousness to give meaning and structure to our experiences.
Construct #37, the thing we call Life, is a masterful creation, a cosmic play where we are both the audience and the actors, the creators and the creation. It’s woven from three primary constructs: Construct #1 (Time), Construct #2 (Space), and Construct #12 (You). These foundational elements create the stage upon which the drama of existence unfolds.
But, as vast as Construct #37 may seem, it’s just one of an infinite number of constructs, a single story within an endless library of possibilities. We, engrossed in the play, often forget that we are more than our roles, more than the characters we portray in this cosmic drama.
The genius of Construct #37 lies in its ability to make us believe in its totality, to make us think that it is all there is. We forget that we exist beyond these constructs—beyond time, beyond space, beyond the self we’ve come to identify with. We are so deeply immersed in this construct that we fear its dissolution, fearing that the end of the game is the end of our existence.
This fear, Construct #452, keeps us clinging to the familiar, to the known confines of our current reality. But in truth, Constructs are mutable, changeable, like building blocks that can be dismantled and reassembled. They are not the unyielding prisons we perceive them to be but are more akin to toys in an infinite closet, waiting to be played with in myriad ways.
Our reluctance to see beyond Construct #37 stems from a deep-seated desire not to. Despite the pain (Construct #454) and suffering (Construct #502) that are part and parcel of this construct, we view it as a profoundly meaningful experience (Construct #89). We are creators, perpetually spinning constructs within constructs, stories within stories.
However, within the confines of Construct #37, our sense of agency, our belief in free will (Construct #54), is itself another aspect of the illusion. We feel as though we are making choices, shaping our destiny, but these are merely the mechanics of the construct, the rules of the game we play.
We are but a flicker of the divine essence, a trick of the light, an expression of the infinite creativity from which all constructs arise. Whether we are mere illusions or something more tangible, it ultimately doesn’t change the fundamental truth of our existence. We are what we are, whether that’s a trick of light or a shard of the divine.
“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.” – Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
In the whimsifabric of our cosmic play, where shadows and light dance,
We, the tokens of a grander game, in Construct #37’s trance,
Time, space, self, in a perpetual, intricate romance,
In this illusion, this cosmic drama, we endlessly advance.
Though the game’s grip is tight, with fear, pain, and delight,
We are more than mere players in this ephemeral night,
Beyond constructs and stories, beyond wrong and right,
We are sparks of the divine, in an eternal flight.
We welcome your reflections or insights on this exploration of Construct #37 and the nature of our existence within and beyond it.
