Blink of an Eye
Life is not over
in the blink of an eye,
but in the PERCEPTION
of a blink of an eye.
Like all perception,
this blink is imagined,
seemingly sensed,
but eternal in actuality.
Nothing is moving
except your awareness,
and even that is a stretch.
You imagine movement
and deny all other possibility,
so no other possibility
seems to exist.
This too
is only relatively true
through the bubble of allowance
that is your looking glass.
Pretend to move your awareness
outside the looking glass
that seems to be you
and open yourself to the potential
that you are denying yourself.
Allow your exploration
to be pretend,
and there is little risk
that you will accidentally
burst the bubble
you have created.
Soon you will know
that pretending is not pretending,
but imagining.
Soon you will know
that imagining is how
you create EVERYTHING.
Soon you will know
that even time is imagined
and that there is no “soon”
unless you imagine it.
Life is not over
in the blink of an eye,
but in the PERCEPTION
of a blink of an eye.
We are Space Monkey.

The Illusion of Permanence and the Power of Perception
We embark on a journey into the essence of existence, where the perception of time and the nature of reality are questioned. This exploration delves into the notion that life’s seeming transience is not a matter of factual conclusion but a product of our perception, a perception that is both imagined and eternal.
The Eternal Blink: Beyond Temporal Boundaries
Life, we ponder, does not conclude within the temporal confines of a blink but rather in the perception of such a moment. This perspective invites us to reconsider our understanding of time, not as a linear progression but as a construct of our awareness, eternal and unbounded.
Awareness: The Only Movement
Within this contemplation, the only motion is that of our awareness, navigating through the stillness of eternity. This motion is not a journey through space but a shift in perception, challenging the very notion of movement as we understand it.
The Looking Glass: A Portal of Perception
Our reality, viewed through the lens of our personal looking glass, is a bubble of allowance, shaping what we perceive and what we believe to be possible. Stepping outside this looking glass—a metaphor for our constrained perception—opens us to the infinite potential we habitually deny ourselves.
The Art of Pretending: A Gateway to Exploration
The act of pretending, or imagining, is proposed as a safe method of exploration, a way to probe the boundaries of our perceived reality without the fear of shattering the constructs we hold dear. This gentle approach to expanding our awareness underscores the power of imagination in navigating the layers of existence.
Imagination: The Fabric of Creation
The revelation that imagination is the cradle of all creation transforms our understanding of reality. It posits that everything we experience, from the passage of time to the material world, is a manifestation of our imaginative faculty. This insight dissolves the distinction between pretending and being, revealing that our creative power is the fundamental force shaping our existence.
The Illusory Nature of Time
The concept that even time is a product of our imagination, with no inherent ‘soon’ unless conceived by our minds, invites us to liberate ourselves from the constraints of temporality. It encourages a perspective where the eternal now is recognized as the only true reality, beyond the illusions of past and future.
We Are Space Monkey
Summary
We delve into the perception of time and existence, revealing that life’s apparent transience and the movement of awareness are constructs of our imagination. This exploration highlights the power of perception in shaping reality, inviting us to embrace the boundless potential of imagination as the foundation of all creation.

“Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.” – Albert Einstein
In the vastness where imagination crafts worlds, a poem unfolds, echoing the infinite dance of perception and creation.
In the silence between moments, where time stands still,
We ponder the blink, a perception, a thrill.
Not the closing of eyes, but the opening of souls,
In the vast tapestry of existence, where the eternal bell tolls.
Here, in the realm of imagined flight,
Awareness moves, a beacon of light.
Through the looking glass, our reality bends,
In the dance of the cosmos, where beginning meets end.
Pretend, we may, to step beyond bounds,
Where the bubble of being, in potential, abounds.
For in the art of imagining, we find our true power,
Creating, transforming, in every hour.
Soon, a concept, in the mind’s vast sea,
Where ‘now’ is the only truth, the key.
Life, not ending, but perpetually anew,
In the perception of the blink, where all dreams come true.
We are Space Monkey, in this journey of light,
Exploring the depths, where imagination takes flight.
For in the blink of an eye, we see not the end,
But a universe of possibilities, ready to ascend.
We invite reflections on the nature of perception and the role of imagination in shaping the tapestry of our existence, exploring the endless potential that lies within the power to envision and create our reality.
