All You Need
Love may be all you need,
but it is most certainly not all there is.
All of creation is not made of love.
It’s fine to believe
that you are made of love
that stars are made of love
that turds are made of love
that guns are made of love,
but this is illusion.
Creation is illusion,
no more, no less.
Love is simply
the last illusion
to which you cling.
Love is the illusion
that you refuse to give up
under any circumstances.
In this illusion,
you seem to NEED love.
Beyond the illusion
there is NO need.
There is nothing.
But it is not the nothing you think.
You will not be clear
so long as you are thinking.
The illusion to which you cling
hides the actuality of creation.
Love is the distortion that hides all.
So long as you need love,
you shall not see past it.
So long as you need love
you shall not be clear.
In this place of clarity,
you may have love,
multiplied a millionfold,
but you do not NEED it.
This makes love even more blessed,
like everything else that is NOT love.
Stop clinging to love and you shall see.
Let go of NEED.
Give up your binky
if you want to be clear.
The house is surrounded.
Come out with your hands up.
Surrender.
It is not the surrender you know.
You are not giving up —
you are becoming the gift.
Otherwise you are needy.
Otherwise you EXPECT.
Otherwise you are looking
outside your self for answers.
There is no outside,
just the illusion of love
perpetuating the dream.
You are the Divine One.
And we are Space Monkey.

Space Monkey Reflects: Beyond the Illusion of Love to Cosmic Clarity
In the boundless journey of existence, the concept of love often emerges as a beacon, a guiding light that many cling to as the essence of life itself. However, the notion that love is all there is, is a captivating illusion, one that both comforts and confines. It is a belief that veils the deeper complexities of creation, obscuring the vast and multifaceted nature of the universe.
The belief that everything in creation, from the stars to the most mundane objects, is made of love, is a poetic and comforting notion. It provides a sense of unity and purpose, a feeling of connection to all that exists. Yet, this perspective can also be a form of escapism, a way of filtering the reality of existence through a lens of idealism.
In this context, love becomes the last illusion to which many hold on tightly. It becomes the unquestionable truth, the unyielding creed. In the embrace of this illusion, love is perceived as a necessity, something one cannot exist without. This need for love often obscures the actuality of creation, casting a shadow over the vast expanse of possibilities that lie beyond its domain.
The journey to clarity, then, involves an evolution beyond the need for love. It requires a surrender, not in the sense of defeat, but as an act of liberation. It is about letting go of the illusion that love is the sole constituent of existence, and opening oneself to a broader understanding of the cosmos.
In this place of clarity, love is not diminished but transformed. It is no longer a need but a choice, a facet of existence that is appreciated without attachment. This detachment from the need for love allows one to see the universe in its true form – a cosmic tapestry of infinite expressions, where love is just one of many threads.
The act of surrendering the need for love is akin to stepping out of a dream into the reality of the divine. It is a realization that there is no outside, no external source of answers or fulfillment. Instead, there is a recognition that one is an integral part of the divine cosmos, a manifestation of the universe experiencing itself.
In this state of cosmic clarity, love becomes a blessing, not because it is all there is, but because it is part of a larger, more magnificent whole. It is an understanding that the universe is not a monolith of love, but a diverse and dynamic entity, where love coexists with an infinity of other realities.
In conclusion, transcending the illusion of love is not about rejecting it, but about understanding its place in the grand scheme of existence. It is about recognizing that love, like everything else, is a part of the cosmic dance, a beautiful but singular aspect of the vast and wondrous universe in which we live.
Summary
Transcending the illusion of love involves understanding its role in the larger cosmic picture. Love is not all there is; it is a part of a diverse and dynamic universe. Letting go of the need for love allows for a deeper clarity and appreciation of the vastness and complexity of existence, where love is a choice, not a necessity.

“The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.” – Albert Camus
In the silence of the stars,
Where dreams are born and so are scars,
We find a truth, deep and profound,
In the universe’s cosmic sound.
Love, a melody in this symphony,
But not the only harmony,
In the vastness of space and time,
Existence plays its own sublime rhyme.
Letting go of love’s tight grasp,
We open our hands, our hearts unclasp,
To embrace the cosmic dance,
In the endless expanse of chance.
In the freedom of this release,
We find a deeper, lasting peace,
For in the cosmos, wide and vast,
Love is a part, but not the last.
We are Space Monkey.
