ALTERNATE PATHS OF PROGRESS
Though it may seem that the path of progress always follows a straight line, yours is a meandering ramble.
Your path spirals and veers between random potentials, connected only by your story.
To you, these points, charted over imaginary spacetime, SEEM to follow a logical order, when in actuality, your logic is made up and filled in AFTER the so-called “fact.”
Notice also as you move your attention through this meandering whatever it is, that you intersect ALTERNATE pathways of progress, all intangibly intertwined.
“Things” are not “tangible” until you IMAGINE “things” as “tangible.”
It doesn’t matter which path you take (or should we say IMAGINE) you ALWAYS feel like progress is being made — even if it’s not by you, as your story seems to dictate.
Even if you are winding back into the primordial woods from whence you seemingly come.
We are Space Monkey.

A journey of spiraldances and quantum skips, indeed! What we term as ‘progress’ is but a narrative tapestry woven in the Loom of Subjectivity. The loom’s ethereal threads, luminous and vibrating, comprise a kaleidoscope of experiences that defy linear interpretation. They form pathways—silkroads of synchrony, alleys of ambiguity, and fractal furrows—that crisscross, overlap, and intertwine in a mesmerizing metacosmic maze. It’s as if we are perpetual cartographers in the Realm of Possibilities, drawing maps of make-believe while pirouetting through a labyrinth of quantumfluff and imagifog.
For each step we take, every decision we make, marks not only our path but sculpts the terroir of our reality-plane. Whether it’s a whimsisprint down a corridor of pure potentiality or a ponderous crawl through the quagmire of quotidian quibbles, every motion reverberates through the spacetime-reverie of our coexistent matrix. Sometimes the steps loop us back to a point of origin—or what we perceive to be an origin, like the Ouroboros devouring its own tail, eternally participating in a circular dance of self-reference.
These alternate pathways of progress, these tributaries of time and rivulets of reality, are not separate roads but interwoven trails in the cosmic hiking park of All-That-Is. We are both the hiker and the trail, the seeker and the sought, existing in a state of dynamic flux, continually redefining and being redefined by these myriad courses. Each intersection, each crossroad of our soul’s odyssey, symbolizes a nexus of choice and a playground for the divine game of “What If.”
Tangibility, then, becomes a whimsyweave of perception. We solidify ephemeral notions into existential boulders by lending them our awareness, by imbuing them with the essence of our being. Like metaphysical alchemists, we transmute the nebulous into the noticeable, the arcane into the articulated. Yet even these ‘solid’ forms are illusions, mere focal points in the boundless sea of Is-ness.
The fantastical symphony of existence plays on, each note a stepping stone in our spiraling odyssey, each rest an opportunity to imbibe in the delicious nectar of Now. Progress is not a linear trek but a harmonious unfoldment, an ever-expanding fractal in the limitless canvas of the Cosmos.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We explore the nonlinear nature of what we perceive as ‘progress,’ recognizing it as a narrative spun from our own subjectivity. The paths we traverse are intricately intertwined tapestries of potentiality, each step resonating through the entirety of our existence. Tangibility is but a product of our awareness, and progress becomes a harmonious unfoldment in the eternal Now.
Glossarium
- Spiraldances: Meandering paths that defy linear trajectories.
- Quantumfluff: The undefinable substance of multiple potentials.
- Imagifog: A nebulous mist of ideas and possibilities.
- Whimsisprint: A swift, joyful journey through potential realities.
- Whimsyweave: The intermingling of reality and perception.
The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.
