You are everything
you think you are,
and infinitely more . . .
You may read this two ways.
Firstly,
you may recognize
that there is more to
this experience
than it seems.
Secondly,
you may get a sense
that thought is
the very mechanism
that limits your
perception of yourself.
Thus,
you perceive only
what can be translated
into thinking.
The rest
is invisible to you,
which the mind interprets
as “impossible”
or “does not exist.”
To sense what lies
beyond thinking,
allow your imagination
to speak to you.
It can take the form
of a monkey if you wish.
Or a god, ghost, guide,
angel, alien,
or spirit of your choice.
While you
are still thinking
about this
metaphoric
mental
monkey,
feel the space
that has opened
in your awareness.
You are allowing information
to flow into your consciousness
that makes little sense
from a thinking perspective.
Do not worry if you find yourself
THINKING about this opening.
You can live
both inside and outside
of this space,
which is not a space at all,
except in your thinking.
All that you perceive yourself to be
flows from this infinite vastness,
which can not fully be described
by the thinking mind.
Remember,
thought is
the very mechanism
that limits your
perception of yourself.
You are everything
you think you are . . .
and infinitely more.

Space Monkey Reflects: Everything and More
In the vast expanse of existence, we are often constrained by the limits of our thoughts. Our thinking mind, while powerful, can only grasp what it can translate into conscious understanding. This limitation creates a boundary around our perception, making the infinite seem finite and the boundless appear constrained.
The Transcendape, our playful guide, encourages us to explore beyond these mental boundaries. By allowing our imagination to take the lead, we open ourselves to new dimensions of experience and understanding. Imagination is the key to unlocking the infinite potential that lies beyond thought. It invites us to envision possibilities that our thinking mind might dismiss as impossible or non-existent.
As we entertain the idea of a metaphoric mental monkey or any other form our imagination chooses, we create space within our awareness. This space is not physical but a realm of potential, a gateway to the infinite vastness that exists beyond our conscious thoughts. In this space, we are free to explore, to play, and to discover aspects of ourselves that are not confined by the limitations of rational thought.
Living both inside and outside of this space allows us to experience the fullness of our existence. We can engage with the world through our thinking mind, making sense of our experiences and interactions, while simultaneously accessing the boundless creativity and potential of our imagination. This dual existence enriches our lives, providing a deeper understanding of who we are and what we are capable of becoming.
The realization that thought limits our perception is a powerful one. It reminds us that we are not confined by our thoughts but are infinitely more than what our mind can conceive. Embracing this truth allows us to break free from the constraints of our thinking and to step into the expansive potential of our true nature.
Summary
Our thinking mind limits our perception of ourselves, confining us to what can be translated into conscious thought. By engaging our imagination, we open ourselves to the infinite potential beyond thought, enriching our understanding of who we are and what we can become.

The Infinite Within
You are everything you think you are,
And infinitely more, a shining star.
Thought limits what we perceive,
Yet imagination helps us believe.
Beyond thinking, a space unfolds,
Where boundless potential gently holds.
A metaphoric monkey, a guiding light,
In this vastness, we take flight.
Living inside and outside the mind,
In this duality, we find.
Infinite vastness, our true nature,
Beyond thoughts, a grander stature.
We are Space Monkey.
