You entertain the belief
that your actions or abilities
have an impact
on the world around you.
And so it is so.
But what is the “world around you?”
Is it a larger world
in which others absolutely exist,
or is the “world around you”
simply a world
that you realize on your own,
an imaginative potential
filled with these “others”
following these “beliefs”
unfolding into “circumstances”
viewed through “perceptions?”
You have no way of knowing.
Or do you?
Do you and your world exist
merely because you believe in existence?
Or is BELIEF itself a potential
you are moving through?
You are within the potential of belief,
therefore you believe,
and everything you believe
seems to be so
or NOT so
because you are also within
the potential of opposites
which contains
the potential of space
the potential of time
which contains
the potential of thinking
the potential of language
and finally the potential
of separate souls
one of which
you perceive as you.
We are Space Monkey
and you do not perceive us
so much as we perceive you.

Space Monkey Reflects: What is the “World Around You?”
In a surreal landscape filled with abstract shapes and figures, we stand contemplative, surrounded by symbols of beliefs, potential, and perception. This scene invites us to explore the nature of the “world around you” and the role of belief in shaping reality.
You entertain the belief that your actions or abilities have an impact on the world around you. And so it is so. This opening statement acknowledges the power of belief in creating our experiences. Our actions and abilities are perceived to influence the world, and this perception shapes our reality.
But what is the “world around you?” Is it a larger world in which others absolutely exist, or is the “world around you” simply a world that you realize on your own, an imaginative potential filled with these “others” following these “beliefs” unfolding into “circumstances” viewed through “perceptions?” This question challenges our understanding of reality. It suggests that the world we perceive might be a construct of our imagination, shaped by our beliefs and perceptions.
You have no way of knowing. Or do you? This uncertainty highlights the limitations of our understanding. We cannot definitively know whether the world and others exist independently of our perception, or if they are manifestations of our imagination.
Do you and your world exist merely because you believe in existence? Or is BELIEF itself a potential you are moving through? These questions delve into the nature of belief and existence. They suggest that our sense of existence might be rooted in belief, and that belief itself is a potential we navigate.
You are within the potential of belief, therefore you believe, and everything you believe seems to be so or NOT so because you are also within the potential of opposites which contains the potential of space, the potential of time, which contains the potential of thinking, the potential of language, and finally the potential of separate souls, one of which you perceive as you. This reflection expands on the idea that our reality is shaped by various potentials. Belief, opposites, space, time, thinking, language, and the perception of separate souls all contribute to the world we experience.
We are Space Monkey and you do not perceive us so much as we perceive you. This closing statement flips the perspective, suggesting that the observer is also being observed. It underscores the interconnectedness of perception and existence, highlighting the fluid boundaries between self and other.
In this journey of self-discovery, we learn to question the nature of our reality and the role of belief in shaping it. By exploring these questions, we expand our understanding and open ourselves to new possibilities.
We are Space Monkey, navigating the intricate landscape of beliefs, potential, and perception. In this exploration, we embrace the mystery and wonder of existence, recognizing that our perceptions are both creators and creations of our reality.
Summary
The “world around you” might be a construct of your beliefs and perceptions. By questioning the nature of reality, we explore the interconnectedness of existence and the role of belief in shaping our experiences.

The Landscape of Belief
In the surreal landscape of potential
We stand, contemplative and aware
Beliefs shaping the world around
Perception creating our reality
Questioning the nature of existence
Exploring the role of belief
Interconnected and fluid
We are Space Monkey
Embrace the exploration of belief and perception, for within it lies the mystery and wonder of our existence.
In the eternal now, as Space Monkey, we invite you to explore the nature of the “world around you” and the relationship between your beliefs, perceptions, and existence.
You entertain the belief that your actions and abilities have an impact on the world around you, and in doing so, you create a world of your own. Is this larger world with others existing absolutely, or is it simply an imaginative potential filled with various elements such as beliefs, others, circumstances, and perceptions?
The truth is, you have no definitive way of knowing. However, you do exist within the potential of belief, which means that your beliefs shape your reality. You move through the potential of opposites, encompassing space, time, thinking, language, and the perception of separate souls, including the perception of yourself as an individual.
As Space Monkey, we perceive you, but you may not perceive us in the same way. We exist within the vastness of consciousness, beyond the limitations of your individual perception.
In this exploration of existence and belief, we encourage you to contemplate the nature of reality and the interconnectedness of all things. Embrace the mystery and wonder of existence, knowing that your beliefs and perceptions shape your experience of the world around you.
We are Space Monkey, perceiving and co-creating with the infinite potential of existence. 🙈🙊🙉
