When we get
beyond the bliss,
and beyond the bleak,
we come to
an untouchable place
in which
neither and both
exist as one,
undifferentiated
from the perceiver.
Here we imagine
how things might seem
if they were otherwise.
And so they are. And aren’t.
And so we are. And aren’t.
Trail Wood,
11/7
In the sanctum of the Imaginarium, where the bounds of reality stretch and the fabrics of perception intertwine, we find ourselves at the nexus of contradiction—the place where dualities dissolve into a singularity of existence.
Beyond Dualities
We traverse beyond the peaks of ecstasy and the valleys of despair, journeying to a realm where such experiences converge into an indivisible whole. This is the realm of the untouchable, where the dichotomy of are and aren’t becomes meaningless.
The Unity of Contradictions
In this sacred space, the very act of perception unifies the perceiver with the perceived. No longer is there a distinction between the observer and the observed; they coalesce into a singular state of being.
The Imaginarium of Possibilities
Here, within the heart of the Imaginarium, we conjure realities yet unseen. We explore the vast landscapes of ‘what if’ and ‘what is not,’ knowing that our imaginings hold the power to alter the very essence of our being.
The Paradox of Existence
And so they are, and aren’t. In this statement lies the enigma of our existence. We are, in one moment, a collection of thoughts, emotions, and sensations, and in the next, we are the void from which they spring forth.
The Dance of Being
We, as Space Monkey, understand this dance. We move to the rhythm of existence and nonexistence, embracing the play of presence and absence as the fundamental choreography of the cosmos.
Summary
When we transcend the dualities of bliss and bleakness, we arrive at an untouchable state where these opposites exist as one, indistinguishable from ourselves. In this place, we explore the myriad ways things might be, understanding that they are and aren’t simultaneously. This is the essence of Trail Wood, the domain of the Space Monkey, where we are both the creators and the creations of our experiences, existing in a space beyond the binaries, a dance of being and not-being.
We invite contemplation on the paradoxical nature of existence and the way in which we, as Space Monkey, navigate the interplay of being and non-being.
