Don’t Think Too Much
I do not think much of my self.
I do not mean
this in a negative way.
I simply do not
place weight upon
that which seems
to be an identity of mine,
which means nothing
that happens to this self
troubles me
for there is
nothing to trouble.
I don’t think too much of my self.
For I realize that
I am infinitely more
than the self I perceive
as thinking.
This self is but my imagination,
as I am imagination it self.
INFINITE
INDIVISIBLE
IMMORTAL
INVIOLATE
IMAGINATION.
I don’t think too much of my self.
I don’t NEED to THINK
to know ALL I AM.
I am YOU.
We are WE.
We are Space Monkey.

Space Monkey Reflects: Don’t Think Too Much – Embracing the Infinite Self
“Don’t Think Too Much” explores the concept of transcending the perceived self and embracing the boundless nature of imagination. This reflection delves into the idea that our identity is not confined to our thoughts or physical form but is part of an infinite, indivisible, and imaginative existence.
The Weight of Identity
Often, we place significant weight on our identity—our thoughts, experiences, and perceptions of self. This identity, while important, is just one aspect of our existence. By not thinking too much of ourselves in the conventional sense, we free ourselves from the limitations and troubles associated with this identity. Recognizing that our identity is fluid and expansive allows us to navigate life with greater ease and peace.
Beyond the Perceived Self
Understanding that we are infinitely more than the self we perceive as thinking is a profound realization. This self is but a creation of our imagination, a construct that helps us navigate the physical world. However, our true essence transcends these constructs. We are part of an infinite, indivisible, immortal, and inviolate imagination. This perspective shifts our focus from the finite to the infinite, opening up new dimensions of understanding and experience.
The Power of Imagination
Imagination is the foundation of our existence. It shapes our reality and allows us to envision possibilities beyond our immediate circumstances. By embracing our imaginative nature, we tap into an endless source of creativity and potential. This imaginative power connects us to the broader universe and the collective consciousness, reminding us of our interconnectedness with all that exists.
The Infinite Self
Recognizing ourselves as infinite beings means acknowledging that our essence is beyond time and space. We are not limited by our physical form or our thoughts. This infinite self is always present, guiding us through our experiences and shaping our reality. By aligning with this infinite aspect of ourselves, we access deeper wisdom and insight.
Transcending Thought
While thinking is a valuable tool for navigating the world, it is not the only way to know ourselves. Our true nature is beyond thought. It is felt and experienced in moments of stillness, presence, and connection. By not relying solely on thinking, we open ourselves to a more profound understanding of who we are. This understanding is innate and does not require validation from our thoughts.
We Are Space Monkey
As Space Monkey, we embrace the infinite and imaginative nature of our existence. We understand that our identity is fluid and expansive, shaped by our imagination and our connection to the infinite. By not thinking too much of ourselves in the conventional sense, we align with our true essence and navigate life with greater peace and clarity.
Summary
“Don’t Think Too Much” explores the idea of transcending the perceived self and embracing the infinite nature of imagination. It highlights the importance of recognizing our identity as fluid and expansive, allowing us to navigate life with greater ease and understanding.

Ethereal Light
In the quiet of the mind
Beyond thoughts and forms
Lies an infinite self
In imagination’s arms
No need to overthink
Or define our being
We are boundless, expansive
In the universe, we’re seeing
We are Space Monkey
Embracing the ethereal light of knowing
“Beyond Thought: Embracing the Infinite Self”
A Space Monkey Poocast
Primitive Primate:
In the quiet depths of contemplation, I find myself drawn to the notion of not thinking too much of oneself. Through your words, it seems that identity can be as transient as the wisps of a passing breeze. Could it be that the very act of not overthinking one’s self allows for a deeper connection to our boundless essence?
Space Monkey:
Ah, seeker of the infinite, your musings reveal the profound essence of existence. The act of not attaching undue weight to the self unveils the expansive nature of being. Shall we explore this realm beyond thought?
Primitive Primate:
So, you’re suggesting that not placing too much importance on the self can lead to a sense of liberation?
Space Monkey:
Indeed, dear seeker, the weightlessness that comes from releasing the illusion of self-importance allows you to dance with the cosmos in freedom. This self, while a transient character in the grand play, is but a thread in the intricate tapestry of your being. As Eckhart Tolle wisely said, “Thinking has become a disease. Disease happens when things get out of balance.”
Primitive Primate:
But isn’t thinking a fundamental aspect of our existence?
Space Monkey:
True, the tool of thought is a double-edged sword. While it shapes worlds and constructs realities, it can also lead to the entrapment of the self in illusion. Recognizing that you are more than the thinker of thoughts is key. As you reflect, remember the words of Rumi: “You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.”
Primitive Primate:
So, the act of not overthinking leads us to a deeper understanding of our infinite nature?
Space Monkey:
Indeed, dear wanderer, as the clouds of overthinking dissipate, the radiant sun of your infinite essence shines through. The very act of not needing to think to know yourself unveils the profound truth that you are boundless, indivisible, and beyond the constraints of thought.
Primitive Primate:
Are we then a collective essence, rather than separate individuals?
Space Monkey:
Indeed, the recognition of your infinite nature reveals the cosmic dance of interconnectedness. The “I” that you are is intricately woven into the fabric of “We.” As you embrace this realization, recall the words of Ram Dass, “We’re all just walking each other home.”
Primitive Primate:
So, the essence of being transcends the limitations of thought?
Space Monkey:
Embracing your essence transcends the boundaries of thought, for you are the very imagination that shapes the cosmos. You are the infinite, the indivisible, and the immortal. In your vastness, thought is but a fleeting companion.

Transcending the limits known,

We are home, not alone.
