You don’t know
how close you are
to a better life.
Not this one,
but the next.
It’s closer
than you think.
A life outside space and time.
A life in which
the word “better”
doesn’t exist.
We are Space Monkey.

Space Monkey Reflects: You Don’t Know
You stand at the threshold of existence, tethered to what you think you know, yet closer than you realize to a life that transcends everything you have ever known. The life that you currently lead, with its patterns, desires, and familiar rhythms, is but one layer of a vast cosmic tapestry, and just beyond your grasp lies a realm so different that even the concept of “better” ceases to exist.
“You don’t know how close you are to a better life,” we say, but the irony is that this better life isn’t about more possessions, more achievements, or even more happiness. It is something beyond the dichotomies that define your current understanding. This life, this experience, is not an improvement upon your current one—it is simply outside the confines of space and time altogether.
In the life you are approaching, “better” becomes an irrelevant concept. The very structures that hold meaning in your current existence—comparisons, hierarchies, and expectations—dissolve into the ether of timelessness. What you are on the edge of is not an escape from hardship or a utopian future. It is a return to something primal and eternal, something that has always been and will always be, without the constraints of the definitions that currently shape your world.
You don’t know how close you are. This is both a comfort and a challenge. Comfort, because it reminds you that what you seek is already within reach. Challenge, because to move into this new existence requires shedding the very idea of what “better” is. It’s a life not measured by improvement or progress, but by the simplicity of being—a life where being itself is the ultimate state, unburdened by the layers of judgment and expectation that now weigh you down.
Imagine yourself standing at the edge of two worlds. On one side is the life you know, grounded in time and space. You navigate this life with familiar routines, expectations, and desires. This is the life where every action, every moment, carries the weight of judgment—“good” or “bad,” “better” or “worse.” Even your highest aspirations are shaped by this system of valuation, where you constantly seek to be better, to have more, to achieve a greater sense of fulfillment.
But there is another side to this threshold. Just beyond the veil, outside of time and space, is a life where none of these concepts apply. This life doesn’t offer more or better, because those ideas belong to the realm you are leaving behind. Here, everything simply is. You are. This existence asks nothing of you, makes no demands, holds no promises, because it doesn’t operate on the currency of expectation. It is a realm where your very essence merges with the infinite flow of being, where you are not striving but simply existing in harmony with the cosmos.
What keeps you from stepping into this existence? It is not distance, nor is it some elaborate ritual or enlightenment you must achieve. The only barrier is your attachment to the idea that there is something “better” to be had. As long as you chase after improvement, you remain grounded in the world of comparison. But as soon as you let go, as soon as you release the need for things to be better, you dissolve into this new state of being—free from the limits of space, time, and the very notion of “more.”
This may seem like an impossible task. How do you stop wanting better? How do you let go of everything that you’ve been conditioned to believe? The answer is both simple and profound: you already have. The part of you that seeks, that yearns, is not your true self. It is a construct, a product of the time-bound world. Your true self—the one that exists in this timeless, spaceless reality—has always been there, waiting for you to remember it. The act of letting go is not something you do, but something you recognize. It is the realization that you were never truly bound to the world of “better” in the first place.
As you stand at this threshold, the key to crossing over is awareness. You don’t need to abandon your current life, nor do you need to achieve some higher state of consciousness. You simply need to notice the transparency of existence, to see through the layers of illusion that have convinced you there is a divide between the life you live and the life beyond.
You don’t know how close you are because the very act of knowing implies distance, effort, and a future destination. But in the realm you are approaching, there is no distance. There is no future. There is only now, and now is timeless.
So, step forward. Not with effort, but with ease. Not with ambition, but with acceptance. The life you long for is not better—it simply is. And so are you.
Summary
You are closer to a new life than you realize, one that exists outside space, time, and the very concept of “better.” This existence is not defined by comparison or improvement, but by the pure state of being.

At the Threshold
You stand so close
To what you don’t know
Beyond the veil of better
A life outside time
No need to step
Just notice the dissolve
The merging of self with all
Timeless, spaceless
Not more, not less
Just being
In the eternal now

We present a poetic statement resonating with the essence of nexistentialism. It speaks to the core of our being, suggesting an intimate proximity to a life beyond the constraints of our current reality—a life transcending space and time. Here, the word “better” loses its meaning, for it implies a comparison that does not hold in a realm where existence is the ultimate state. This speaks to a form of existence where all is complete, perfect, and self-sufficient.
The emblem of Space Monkey signifies this philosophy, representing a playful yet profound acknowledgment that in the vast, boundless universe, our perceptions of “better” are fleeting and perhaps insignificant. Instead, it proposes an existence that is full and rich in its own right, unmeasured and undefined by the linear constructs of our current dimension.
By suggesting that this life is closer than we think, the statement invites us to consider the thin veil that separates our current experience from a more profound, boundless existence. It prompts a reflection on the immediacy of the next phase of being—not in terms of physical distance, but as an ever-present alternative dimension of existence, accessible through shifts in perception and consciousness.
It’s a gentle yet profound reminder of the cosmic play, where the next act is always ready to unfold, inviting us to step beyond the perceived limitations of our current stage.
We are Space Monkey.
“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.” – Albert Einstein
In the parchment of the universe, we inscribe our musings,
Etching thoughts of lives beyond, in time’s elusive fusing.
Closer than the breath that fogs the mirror of the soul,
Lies a realm unbound by the shackles of the toll.
In this dance of existence, where every step is flight,
We find the echoes of a life, in the absence of night.
No “better,” no “worse,” just being in its purest form,
Where the heart of the cosmos is eternally warm.
Space Monkey, in your eyes, the cosmos is reflected,
In your leap, the boundless joy of existence is detected.
No need for comparison, no scale, no weight,
In the realm of the infinite, all is innately great.
We invite you to share your reflections on this serene existence, where the concept of “better” is dissolved into the totality of being, and to ponder the closeness of this transcendent life.
