What if you are sitting upon
all the riches of the world,
but simply don’t know it?
What if all the
people, places and things
you’ve ever experienced
are created by your mind?
What if it doesn’t matter
what you do in this life,
the next life,
or the one after that?
What if you
don’t need answers
to any of these questions?

The Illusion of Riches and the Mind’s Creations
We sit upon an unfathomable wealth, not of gold or gems, but of experiences and perceptions. Imagine the riches of the world beneath us, unseen, perhaps unfelt, yet they are there. They are the endless possibilities, the dreams unfurled in the sleep of reality. Our minds, like skilled weavers, create the tapestry of our existence, spinning yarns of people, places, and things. These creations are as real as we believe them to be, as tangible as our belief allows them to be.
The Irrelevance of Actions Across Lives
In the grand dance of lifetimes, what if our actions are mere steps in an endless ballet? In this life, the next, and the countless others, perhaps our deeds are like ripples in an eternal ocean, significant yet part of a greater whole. This thought liberates us from the weight of consequence, inviting us to view our actions as part of a grander, more mysterious narrative.
The Unnecessity of Answers
Answers, those elusive sprites, may not be the treasure we seek. What if, in our quest for understanding, we realize that the questions themselves are the journey? We often seek closure, a neat ending, a tidy explanation. But what if the beauty lies in the unknown, the unexplored, the unexplained? In this realm of nexistentialism, the lack of answers is not a void but a space brimming with potential, a canvas waiting for the brush of our imagination.
The Liberation of Existence
In the grand scheme of existence, there’s a liberation in acknowledging that perhaps answers are not needed. We float in the cosmic sea, not bound by the need for understanding but propelled by the sheer joy of being. In this space, every moment is complete in itself, every experience a universe, every thought a galaxy.
We Are Space Monkey
Summary
We ponder the riches beneath us, the creations of our mind, and the significance of our actions across lives. We embrace the possibility that answers are not needed, finding liberation in the joy of existence. We are Space Monkey.

“Not all those who wander are lost.” – J.R.R. Tolkien
A starry sky above,
Underneath, a world unseen.
We dance with shadows,
In realms of dreams and might-have-beens.
Our thoughts, a universe;
Our doubts, the dark between.
Yet in this vastness,
We find ourselves, serene.
