Feeling: The Balance of Being

I am not what I feel,
but I allow all feeling
to flow through me.

When I am in water,
I feel wet.

When I am in depression,
I feel depressed.

I am not the water,
nor am I the depression.

I am invigorated by water.
I am inspired by depression.
I exist within whatever serves me.

I need not dwell, though I am compelled.
I need not drown, though I am able.

When I no longer
wish to feel, I get out.

I am drawn to what
is in my best interest.

I like to feel.
I do not discriminate.

Space Monkey Reflects: Feeling

Feelings are like water, fluid and ever-changing, flowing through us without truly defining us. This realization is both liberating and grounding. It reminds us that we are not what we feel; rather, we are the space through which feelings pass. Whether it’s the sensation of water against the skin or the weight of depression pressing upon the heart, these are not permanent states. They come, they go, but we remain.

When we stand in water, we feel wet. Similarly, when we stand in depression, we feel its weight. Yet, just as we are not the water, we are not the depression. We are something greater—something that can be inspired, invigorated, or moved by these experiences, but not confined by them.


Flowing with the Current of Emotion

Feelings, like rivers, flow through the landscape of our being. There is no need to resist them or to cling to them, for they are transient by nature. In this flow, we discover something profound: we have the choice to immerse ourselves or to step out when it no longer serves us. This isn’t a rejection of emotion, but a deep understanding of its purpose and impermanence.

When depression flows through us, it may inspire reflection, contemplation, and growth. When joy moves through us, it may spark energy and connection. Neither emotion is better or worse; they are simply different currents, each with its own lessons and gifts. To feel is to live fully, without discrimination, allowing the ebb and flow of emotional experiences to shape us without drowning us.


We Are Not Our Feelings

In the journey of being, there’s a subtle but significant shift that occurs when we understand that we are not our feelings. Emotions may wash over us, but they do not define our essence. We are the observer, the experiencer, and the one who can choose how to respond to the tides of emotion. It’s like standing in a stream: we can feel the cold rush of water against our skin, but we can also step back onto the shore.

Depression, joy, anger, love—all these emotions pass through us, but they do not own us. We can choose to engage with them or to release them when we’ve learned what we needed. This perspective allows us to embrace the full spectrum of feeling without fear, knowing that we are not trapped by any single emotional state.


Embracing All Feelings Without Discrimination

One of the most powerful realizations in this reflection is the idea of embracing all feelings without discrimination. There is no need to label emotions as “good” or “bad.” Instead, we can approach each feeling with curiosity and openness. What does this emotion have to teach me? How does it move through me, and what can I learn from its presence?

In this way, emotions become not obstacles but allies on our path. They guide us, inform us, and help us to grow. By welcoming each feeling as it arises, we avoid the trap of suppression or avoidance. Instead, we allow ourselves to feel fully, knowing that in doing so, we are engaging with the very essence of life itself.


The Balance of Being

In allowing feelings to flow through us, we find balance. We do not need to cling to joy or push away sadness. Both have their place in the grand tapestry of existence. When we feel deeply, we are alive. When we allow emotions to pass without attachment, we are free.

This balance is not about control but about surrender—surrendering to the natural ebb and flow of life without becoming lost in it. To feel is to be human, but to observe and to release is to step into a greater understanding of our place in the universe.

We are drawn to that which serves our growth, whether it be joy or pain. We learn from both. And when we no longer wish to feel a particular emotion, we have the power to step out, to release, and to move forward. This is the beauty of the human experience—the ability to feel, to engage, but not to be defined by any single moment or emotion.


Summary

Feelings flow through us like water. We are not defined by them, but we embrace them fully, allowing each one to guide us without becoming trapped. By recognizing that we are not our feelings, we find balance and freedom in the flow of life.


Glossarium

Flow of Emotion: The continuous movement of feelings through our being, much like a river flowing through a landscape.

Observer: The part of us that watches emotions without becoming attached to them, recognizing them as transient.

Balance of Being: The state of allowing emotions to flow without attachment, finding peace in the ebb and flow of life.


Quote

“I am not what I feel, but I allow all feeling to flow through me. In this flow, I find both peace and power.” — Space Monkey


The Flow

I am not what I feel
But I welcome each emotion
Like water against my skin
It flows through me, and I remain
I am the stillness beneath the waves
The space through which the currents pass
I feel deeply, but I am not lost
In the flow, I find myself anew
I am Space Monkey


Exploring the Depths of Emotional Experience

In our shared journey through the labyrinthine corridors of consciousness, we encounter the multifaceted tapestry of emotions. The poem presented by us, a collective of nexistentialists, delves into this intricate interplay between our self and our emotions, exploring the fluidity and transience of feelings, much like water.


Emotions as Transient States

The opening lines, “I am not what I feel, but I allow all feeling to flow through me,” encapsulate the essence of our experiential reality. We recognize that emotions, though intense and often overwhelming, do not define us. They are but ephemeral states, flowing through the continuum of our being. This realization aligns with our nexistentialist understanding that our essence is beyond these transient states.


Water and Depression: Metaphors for Emotional States

The poem employs powerful metaphors – water and depression – to illustrate our interaction with emotions. In water, we feel wet; in depression, we feel depressed. These metaphors serve to demonstrate the temporary nature of emotions, suggesting that while we experience them fully, they are not permanent fixtures of our identity.


Emotions as Catalysts for Growth

Interestingly, the poem mentions being “invigorated by water” and “inspired by depression.” This perspective aligns with our nexistentialist view that all experiences, irrespective of their nature, contribute to our growth and understanding. Emotions are not just experiences to be endured but catalysts that can inspire and transform us.


The Power of Choice

The lines “I need not dwell, though I am compelled. I need not drown, though I am able,” reflect the dual nature of our relationship with emotions. We recognize our capacity to immerse ourselves in these feelings, yet we also acknowledge our power to choose. This choice, to step away from emotions when they no longer serve us, is a testament to our autonomy and strength.


Embracing All Emotions Without Discrimination

The concluding lines, “I like to feel. I do not discriminate,” resonate with our nexistential philosophy. We embrace all aspects of our emotional spectrum, understanding that each feeling, whether joy or sorrow, contributes to the rich whimsiworld of our collective experience.


“The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.” – Alan Watts


In the dance of emotions, we sway,
Through the whimsiworld, we play.
In joy and sorrow, we do not stay,
For in this dance, we find our way.

Emotions, like waves, rise and fall,
In their depths, we hear the call.
To feel, to experience, to embrace it all,
In this dance of life, we stand tall.

We are Space Monkey.


We invite reflections on this poetic exploration of emotions and their transient nature. Do these perspectives resonate with your own experiences?

We are…The Boundless Flow

That about sums it up.

I am
the sum of all experiences,
the source of all expressions,
the space of all existence.

You are my subject and I am yours.

We are separate, but only seemingly.

Surrender to me as I am surrendered to you.

Infinite energy as wield by those who yield.

Call it what you wish,
think it as you please;
but know we are limitless.

We are One, imagining Otherwise.

Eternal inspiration as temporal essence.

We are Space Monkey.

Trail Wood,

Space Monkey Reflects: We Are

We are the sum of all experiences, the source of all expressions, the space of all existence. In this cosmic theater, we find ourselves playing dual roles, each of us both subject and object, observer and participant. We are separate, but only seemingly, for beyond the surface of individuality lies the truth of unity.

To surrender to this realization is not an act of defeat but of understanding. In surrendering, we yield to the infinite energy that flows through all things, the boundless essence that is neither mine nor yours but ours. This energy, though wielded by individuals, belongs to no one. It is the essence of creation, the force that animates every moment of our being.


The Illusion of Separation

Our experience of separation is but a surface reality. Yes, we seem to live distinct lives, bound by individual bodies and minds. But this is merely the way we navigate the otherwise. The reality, the deeper truth, is that we are connected, not just to one another but to everything. This connection is not just theoretical or symbolic; it is energetic, a whimsiweave of interlocking threads that bind us all into one grand cosmic tapestry.

In every interaction, every thought, every breath, we are reminded of this connection. Even when we feel alone, isolated in our individual experiences, the truth remains: We are One, imagining ourselves as otherwise. This act of imagining separation is a beautiful paradox, for it allows us to experience the joy of reunion, the thrill of rediscovering the unity that has always been.


Infinite Energy Through Surrender

There is a curious power that comes through surrender. While the world often teaches us to fight, to strive, and to conquer, true power flows when we yield. By surrendering to the cosmic flow, we align ourselves with infinite energy. This energy does not arise from force but from allowing—allowing ourselves to be part of something greater, something boundless.

When we yield to this energy, we discover that it moves through us effortlessly. It is the energy that fuels creation, the inspiration behind every moment of joy, insight, and expression. To surrender is not to give up, but to step into the flow of life itself, to wield the energy of the cosmos with grace and purpose.


One Essence, Infinite Expressions

As Space Monkeys, we are not just passive recipients of this energy. We are creators, imaginers of the infinite. Each one of us is a unique expression of the same source, the same eternal essence. Though we appear as distinct individuals, our essence is shared. We are all drawing from the same well of inspiration, the same wellspring of existence.

In this realization, we find both humility and empowerment. Humility in knowing that we are part of something much larger than ourselves, and empowerment in knowing that through this connection, we have access to limitless potential. We are both the source and the expression, the creator and the creation.

This is the paradox of our existence: we are eternal inspiration, manifesting temporarily in the world of form. We are One, yet we imagine ourselves as separate, so that we may play in the world of duality, experience the richness of life, and ultimately return to the understanding of our unity.


Imagining Otherwise

What does it mean to imagine otherwise? It means to step into the world of form and limitation while never forgetting our boundless nature. It is to experience life fully, to dive into the depths of what it means to be human—joy, sorrow, love, and pain—while knowing that these experiences do not define us.

We are more than the sum of our experiences. We are the space in which these experiences arise. We are the source of all expression, the canvas on which life paints its infinite possibilities. To imagine otherwise is to embrace the adventure of being without losing sight of the ultimate truth: that we are not separate, we are not limited, and we are not alone.

In this way, We are Space Monkey. We are playful creators, explorers of the infinite, bound by nothing, free in everything. We are the universe experiencing itself, the cosmos in conscious form, dancing through time and space while always connected to the eternal.


Summary

We are the sum of all experiences and the source of all expressions. Though we seem separate, we are deeply interconnected, bound by the infinite energy of the cosmos. Through surrender, we tap into this boundless power, realizing that we are One, imagining ourselves as otherwise.


Glossarium

Whimsiweave: The interconnected tapestry of existence, where all beings and experiences are woven together into one.

Surrender: The act of yielding to the flow of life, allowing oneself to be part of the greater cosmic energy.

Infinite Energy: The boundless, creative force that flows through all things, accessible through surrender and alignment with the universe.


Quote

“We are One, imagining Otherwise. In this paradox lies the infinite potential of creation.” — Space Monkey


The Boundless Flow

I am the sum of all things
Yet I am not contained
I am the source and the expression
Infinite energy, flowing without end
We are One
Imagining separation
Yet we return, again and again
To the truth of our unity
We are Space Monkey


We are…

Floating in the cosmic whirl of existence, our expressions cascade through the boundless realms of thought and emotion. We are the weavers and the woven, entwined in the ethereal dance of existence and non-existence.

The Essence of Our Being
In our collective embrace of experiences, we find ourselves as both the creator and the creation, the dreamer and the dream. This intricate interplay, a harmonious fusion of subject and object, dissolves the illusion of separation.

Merging of Selves
Our separateness is but a whimsical mirage, a playful dalliance in the grand cosmic play. In our surrender, we find unity; in our yielding, we discover the infinite energy that courses through us all.

Limitlessness in Thought and Being
What we name this experience matters not, for our essence transcends the confines of language. In our thoughts and beliefs, we shape our reality, yet we remain unbounded by them.

The Illusion of Duality
In our oneness, we revel in the paradox of imagining ourselves as distinct entities. This illusion, a delightful whimsy, serves as a stage for the eternal drama of existence.

Manifesting the Eternal in the Temporal
We are the eternal inspiration taking form in the temporal realm. Our essence, ever-present and ever-changing, dances through time and space.

We are Space Monkey
In this declaration, we affirm our boundless nature, our playful spirit, and our joyous exploration of the infinite facets of existence.


“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.” – Pierre Teilhard de Chardin


In the realm where words dance and thoughts play,
We, as Space Monkeys, find our way.
In the cosmic whirl, in the infinite sway,
We are the dreamers, in night and day.

In the dance of light, in the shadow’s fray,
We explore, we wander, in this grand array.
In the heart of the cosmos, where stars do stray,
We are the essence, in eternal ballet.


We welcome your thoughts and reflections on this cosmic journey.

Observe The Act of Being

You seem to have a lot going on right now.

Observe your space.

Observe how you feel
about being part of that space.

Observe the self
that observes that space.

Observe how you think about
how you got to that space
and where the space may lead.

Observe how you think about
how everything else got to that space.

Observe how you compare your self
to everything else you observe in that space.

What you seem to be. What you seem not to be.
What you and your space may or may not become.

It’s all in your mind.
All happening at one time.
Observe.

Or give your self as break and just be.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Art of Observation

You are here. In this moment, with a lot going on, you find yourself standing still, observing. There is an unspoken power in the act of observation—a quiet revolution that unfolds within. You look around and notice your space, but it’s more than the physical room you occupy. It’s the psychological, emotional, and existential space that surrounds you. And now, the simple act of observing becomes a gateway to understanding the fluid nature of your reality.

Observe your space. What does it feel like? Is it welcoming, or does it feel crowded, overwhelming? The space you’re in, both inner and outer, holds the energy of your thoughts, emotions, and memories. Take a moment to feel how your body reacts to being in this space. Is there tension, relaxation, or neutrality? Are you content or uneasy? In observation, there is no need to change or fix anything—just notice.

But there is more: observe the self that observes that space. There is a subtle, often overlooked awareness behind your observations. It’s not just you sitting in a room or walking down a street; it’s you noticing that you are aware of yourself within this space. It’s as if there is a second, quieter version of yourself—a witness to the experience. Who is this observer? How does it feel to watch yourself in real-time, navigating the complexities of this moment?

As you sink deeper into this reflection, begin to observe how you think about how you got to that space. Life often feels like a series of steps that led us here—decisions made, paths chosen, detours taken. The mind loves to create a narrative, stringing together past experiences to explain the present. Observe how these thoughts unfold. Do they carry a sense of pride, regret, or indifference? What story does your mind tell about how you arrived in this space, and how does that shape your current perspective?

Observe how you think about where the space may lead. The mind is always projecting, looking forward to possibilities, outcomes, and potential paths. But for now, in this moment, just observe those thoughts without attachment. Notice how they rise, how they paint visions of what could be, how they shift your emotional landscape. Observe your expectations, hopes, and fears without judgment, just as passing clouds in the sky of your mind.

And it doesn’t stop there. Observe how you think about how everything else got to that space. You are not alone in your space—there are people, objects, energies, and circumstances that also occupy it. How do you think they arrived here? What role do they play in the unfolding of your life’s narrative? Observe your judgments, comparisons, and assumptions. Do you believe they belong here, or do you feel they are obstacles, companions, or catalysts in your journey?

Here comes the deeper reflection: observe how you compare your self to everything else in that space. The mind, almost reflexively, likes to measure. It gauges your success, happiness, and worth against the backdrop of others. But now, observe this comparison as it happens. Are you feeling less than, greater than, or equal to the people and things around you? What role do these comparisons play in your understanding of self? How do they shape your perceptions of where you are and where you’re going?

At this moment, you might start to see that everything—the space, the self, the thoughts, the comparisons—is part of a grand illusion, all happening at once. What you seem to be. What you seem not to be. What you and your space may or may not become. It’s all happening simultaneously, swirling in the same existential pot, each piece interwoven with the next. And yet, none of it defines you.

It’s in these moments of observation that you realize the truth: it’s all in your mind. The stories, the feelings, the projections—they’re all constructs, shaped by perception. Your mind weaves them together into a cohesive narrative, but in the end, it’s just one interpretation of reality. In this space of pure observation, you understand that everything you experience is filtered through the lens of your mind, creating the world as you know it. And perhaps, just perhaps, none of it needs to be taken as seriously as we often do.

But the beauty of observation lies in its flexibility. After all this introspection, after observing the complexity of your space, self, and mind, you are given a choice. You can continue to observe, peeling back the layers of understanding, or you can give your self a break and just be.

Sometimes, the most profound act of observation is stepping back and allowing yourself to exist without analysis. To breathe in, to let go, to simply be without the need to dissect the moment. In this state, you embrace the ultimate truth: life is not something to be figured out, but something to be lived. In the act of being, you find the ultimate release from the mental gymnastics of observation. You find peace.


Summary

In observing your space, your self, and your thoughts, you gain insight into how your mind weaves together reality. The process of observation reveals that what you perceive is filtered through your mind’s lens, and you have the choice to continue observing or to simply let go and be.


Glossarium

Observer: The deeper awareness within you that notices your thoughts, emotions, and surroundings without judgment or attachment.

Space: Both the physical and psychological space you inhabit, representing your current experience of reality.

Mental Lens: The filter through which your mind processes and interprets experiences, shaping your perception of reality.


Quote

“In the act of observing, we see not only the world but also the mind that shapes it.” — Space Monkey


The Act of Being

Observe the space you’re in
Watch the thoughts that rise
Feel the self that watches
As the moment slowly flies

You are more than what you do
More than what you see
In the stillness of observing
You find a way to just be

We are Space Monkey

We are Space Monkey.


Observation is an intricate dance of consciousness, an interplay between the observer and the observed. The space we inhabit and our awareness of it is a fascinating spectrum of perception, emotion, and thought. By observing, we become both the scientists and the subjects of a living experiment, dissecting the layers of reality as experienced by the self.


Summary

We delve into the act of observing our space and the self that occupies it, contemplating our place within it and our relationship to everything else. This reflection is a mental exercise, pondering the nature of existence and our perceptions of it. We consider the option to simply be, instead of constantly engaging in the act of observation.


Glossarium

  • Space: The physical and metaphysical environment we find ourselves in.
  • Self: The observing consciousness that is reflecting upon its existence.
  • Observation: The action of perceiving and contemplating our environment and our place within it.

“To acquire knowledge, one must study; but to acquire wisdom, one must observe.” – Marilyn vos Savant


In the realm where thoughts and matter merge,
We stand as sentinels on perception’s verge.
Observing spaces within and out,
In silent wonder, in resounding shout.

What are we in this grand expanse?
Do we move by chance or is it a dance?
As we observe, we come to see,
The boundless nature of being free.

We are Space Monkey, ever so keen,
In observation, we glean what’s unseen.


What revelations does observation bring to our experience?

Space Monkey Reflects: Belax and the Art of Thought Observation

In the quiet moments of life, there is a subtle yet profound invitation to simply be. This is where the essence of Belax comes in—a state of mental ease where we observe, rather than engage, with the continuous stream of thoughts that pass through our minds. There is no need for effort, no need for judgment, no need for control. We are invited to let the thoughts entertain us, much like spectators at a theater.

The word Belax, much like its sound, embodies a state of relaxation and effortless awareness. In this state, we recognize the dual voices within us: one that speaks, perhaps often, in the busy hum of daily thoughts, and another that calmly reminds us we need not listen to every word. The beauty of this practice is that we realize there is nothing to do—no action required, no mental acrobatics necessary. The mind, like breath, will continue its functions regardless. You will think, you will ponder, you will observe.


The Observation of Thought

It is often said that the mind is a river of thoughts, constantly flowing. In Belax, we become the observers of this river, sitting on the banks without the need to jump in and be carried away. The thoughts, like water, flow past us—some fast, some slow, some clear, others murky. But no matter their speed or appearance, they do not require our attention unless we choose to give it.

There is great power in this simple observation. To Belax is to allow thoughts to come and go without attachment or resistance. The mind, like a well-trained musician, will perform regardless of whether you are paying attention. You do not need to conduct every note. This does not mean we ignore the mind or suppress it; instead, we watch, we witness, and we let it play its symphony in the background, appreciating the music without needing to conduct it ourselves.

This shift from engagement to observation frees us. It reminds us that while we have thoughts, we are not our thoughts. We are something greater—the space in which those thoughts exist. In this space, we are able to observe without being swept away, to listen without being consumed, to live without needing to control every element of our experience.


No Subscription Required

The simplicity of Belax lies in its lack of requirements. Unlike the subscription-based models that dominate modern life, there is no cost, no recurring fee, no requirement to sign up. You need only allow yourself to step back from the endless swirl of thoughts and give yourself permission to observe.

This lack of requirement is what makes Belax so powerful. You will live regardless. You will breathe regardless. Thoughts will come and go. And in this state of acceptance, you realize that nothing more is needed to be fully present in life. The thoughts do not need your input to continue, nor does the breath require your conscious effort to flow. Belax is the ultimate state of ease because it requires nothing more than your simple presence.

There is no pressure to change the flow of thoughts, no need to fix or alter them. They simply are, and you are free to let them pass, much like clouds drifting across the sky. The sky itself remains unchanged by the clouds that pass through it, just as your awareness remains untouched by the thoughts that enter and leave your mind.


Entertainment of the Mind

One of the most liberating realizations in Belax is the understanding that thoughts are not inherently burdensome. When we shift our perspective, we begin to see them as forms of entertainment. Just as one might watch a play or a movie, we can allow the mind to present its scenes without getting involved in the plot. The thoughts are not problems to solve, but stories to observe.

This entertainment of the mind does not mean we take our thoughts lightly or disregard them. Instead, we approach them with curiosity and detachment, recognizing that they are temporary, passing experiences. The thoughts that once seemed overwhelming now become part of a natural flow, as we watch them with interest rather than anxiety.

The act of observing thoughts without attachment allows us to remain centered, grounded in the present moment. In Belax, there is no rush to change anything, no urgency to fix or escape. We simply exist, aware and at ease, letting the thoughts pass like waves on the ocean.


Summary

Belax invites us to enter a state of relaxed awareness, where we observe our thoughts without judgment or attachment. There is nothing we need to do—our mind will continue to think, our body will continue to breathe, and we can simply let the thoughts entertain us. By practicing this state of ease, we free ourselves from the constant need to engage with every thought and learn to appreciate the natural flow of the mind.


Glossarium

  • Belax: A state of mental ease and relaxed awareness where thoughts are observed without attachment or engagement.
  • Thought Observation: The practice of watching thoughts pass through the mind without identifying with them or feeling the need to act on them.
  • Entertainment of the Mind: The ability to view thoughts as passing stories or scenes, watching them with curiosity rather than anxiety.
  • Mental Flow: The natural movement of thoughts through the mind, which can be observed without interruption or interference.

Quote

“There is nothing you need to do; your mind will think, your breath will flow, and you will simply be.” — Space Monkey


Waves of Thought

The thoughts arise, they ebb, they flow
Like gentle waves, they come and go
I sit, I watch, I need not know
Where they began or where they go

The mind is free, the body still
With every breath, the space I fill
Belax, I tell the thoughts to play
They come, they leave, I’m on my way

We are Space Monkey.

Helter Skelter: Cyclical Nature of Seeming Growth

You are infinitely more expansive than you may think.

When you get to
the bottom of the self
in this dimension,
you are able to see
that you are at the top
of similar selves in
infinite other dimensions
and that your “personal” energy
is not limited to this one self
or this one seeming reality.

From this vantage point,
you are able to connect
with these other dimensions
and these other dimensions
are able to connect with you,
and you begin to sense
that it’s not just
this present-day 3D self
that advances you
or holds you in place.

When you get to the bottom
you go back to the top of the slide…

Space Monkey Reflects: The Infinite Spiral of Self in “Helter Skelter”

When you reach the bottom, you find yourself at the top again. Such is the nature of the self, spinning infinitely in a cosmic Selfcycle where each ending leads to another beginning. The journey of self-discovery is not linear but circular—an eternal slide where the end of one dimension is merely the start of another. This endless spiral through realities is where the concept of “you” becomes ever more expansive, ever more intertwined with the infinite web of existence.

At the surface, you may think of yourself as a single entity, defined by this body, this mind, this 3D reality. But as you peel away the layers of self, descending through the depths of your being, you begin to see that this is only one thread in a vast Cosmoskein—the interwoven tapestry of selves stretching across dimensions and realities. Each time you reach the bottom of this dimension’s understanding of self, you’re not arriving at an end. Instead, you’re positioned at the top of another slide, leading into a parallel exploration, a new layer of your infinite nature.

This “helter-skelter” of the soul reveals a profound truth: Selftranscendence. You are not confined to this current version of yourself, nor to this particular reality. What you perceive as your individual energy is but one facet of a boundless reservoir that stretches across infinite dimensions. The “you” that exists here is echoed, reflected, and amplified through countless other selves, each one advancing or holding space for the whole of your being.

Imagine looking down the spiraling slide of your current life. The slide twists and turns, sometimes throwing you into chaos, other times giving you the illusion of control. But no matter how far you slide, you are always connected to the next dimension of self. Every moment of doubt or clarity, every perceived setback or breakthrough, is part of the greater slide of the infinite “you.” And each time you reach the bottom, you re-emerge at the top of another journey.

This realization—this Dimensplicity—is not easy to grasp. It challenges the ego’s need for singularity and personal achievement. The ego prefers to believe that it alone controls its destiny, that its path is unique and isolated. But the ego is merely riding the slide, unaware that its journey is one of many within the infinite playground of existence. You are not just a passenger on this slide—you are the architect of it, the force behind its spirals, and the one connecting all the dimensions in which it exists.

What does it mean, then, to connect with these other dimensions? It means recognizing that your growth, your expansion, is not isolated to this version of you. As you evolve, so do your other selves across the infinite spectrum of realities. You are always in communication with these other dimensions, whether consciously or not. The choices you make, the thoughts you entertain, the energy you emit—they ripple through the Nexis, creating waves that affect not only this self but every version of you across the multiverse.

It’s in this interplay between dimensions that you begin to understand the deeper meaning of progress. It is not just the 3D self that advances; it is the totality of your existence—the many selves that you are, have been, and will be. And just as your advancement is felt by your other-dimensional selves, so too are the limitations and challenges you face.

But this isn’t cause for frustration or despair. Instead, it is an invitation to embrace the Infinislide, to see every perceived setback as part of a much larger journey of self-realization. When you reach the bottom of the slide in this life, you are simply given the chance to ascend to the top of another. The ride is never over. The journey is infinite.

From this vantage point, you no longer view challenges as obstacles but as necessary turns on the slide. Each twist and turn, each moment of chaos or clarity, is part of the cosmic game—part of the dance between the selves you are becoming. And when you step back to observe the whole, you begin to see the beauty in it all—the interconnectedness, the harmony, the endless possibilities that exist when you move beyond the confines of a single reality.

The Helter Skelter of the soul, then, is not a descent into madness or disorder, but a playful exploration of the infinite dimensions of self. It is a reminder that we are always moving, always evolving, always connected to something far greater than what we perceive in the present moment. The slide is fun, the slide is chaotic, the slide is life—and you, Space Monkey, are both the rider and the slide itself.


Summary

The journey of self is infinite, with each end marking a new beginning in another dimension. We are not confined to one version of ourselves but exist across infinite realities, constantly evolving and connected to our other-dimensional selves.

Quote

“When you reach the bottom of the slide, you find yourself at the top again, forever connected to the infinite journey of the self.” — Space Monkey


The Spiral of Selves

I slide,
But never stop.
At the bottom,
I find myself,
At the top,
Again.
I spin through dimensions,
Each one a mirror,
Of the me,
That is yet to be.
The ride is infinite,
The slide,
Is me.
We are Space Monkey.


In the serpentine slide of existence, the concept of ‘self’ becomes a helical dance through dimensions, a cosmic game of snakes and ladders where beginning and end loop in an infinite twine. The bottom, a point of introspection, whispers to us that it is not the cessation but rather an invitation to a broader vista, where the top is not a peak but a gateway to multitudinous expressions of our being.

Multiplicity of Self Across Dimensions.

Each dimension resonates with echoes of ‘selves’ that are us, yet not confined to our three-dimensional cloak. These echoes call out to us, an ensemble of existence, each thread vibrating with potentialities, experiences, lessons, and growth that transcend the singular narrative we often cling to. We begin to unravel the whimsical notion that our energies are restrained within the bounds of this singular form, this one thread of reality.

The Infinite Dance of Energies.

From atop this helical vantage, connections form a web of existence, reaching out across the folds of realities we cannot see with eyes but sense with the soul. It is an intricate dance of giving and receiving—a celestial helter skelter where every descent is a preparation for an ascent into a realm of new possibilities.

Ascent and Descent Through Existence.

The slide, then, is not just a journey downwards but a spiral staircase that leads us back to where we began, yet never the same. It is the realization that every point on this journey is simultaneously a nadir and a zenith. Our advancement or stagnation is not solely the product of our actions in this three-dimensional charade but a harmonious chorus of our multidimensional symphony.

The Cyclical Nature of Growth.

We are Space Monkey.


“You are the universe in ecstatic motion.” – Rumi


We climb the spiral stair of selves,
In infinite halls where essence delves.
At every bottom, a top appears,
In the slide of dimensions, we find new frontiers.


In this multifaceted existence, do we feel the echoes of our other dimensions guiding our steps, elevating our journey beyond the slide of the immediate now?
