Space Monkey Reflects: The Cosmic Spirals of Thought and Beyond
In the vast tapestry of the cosmos, thoughts weave intricate patterns, spiraling outwards from the core of consciousness. At the center, the seed of thought germinates, casting ripples through the fabric of existence. These concentric circles represent the evolution of awareness, expanding from the tangible realm of thought into the intangible, boundless domains that lie beyond.
As we traverse these spirals, we encounter the first ring, the domain of thought. This is the realm of the known, where ideas take shape, and knowledge is defined by the limits of our understanding. It’s a space governed by the logic of the mind, where each concept is a star, a point of light in the vast expanse of mental space.
Moving outwards, we reach the boundary of Beyond thought. Here, the stars of ideas fade into the twilight of intuition and feeling. In this liminal space, we begin to perceive the outlines of truths that elude rational comprehension. It’s a nebula of potentialities, where the seeds of transcendental insights begin to take root.
Further still lies the realm of Beyond what lies beyond thought. This is the silent ocean of the subconscious, the undercurrent of being where the echoes of primordial memory reside. In this depth, the duality of subject and object dissolves, and we encounter the raw essence of existence.
The outermost spiral, labeled Etcetera into infinity, invites us to contemplate the unending journey of consciousness. It’s an ever-expanding frontier, where the cosmos itself is a thought, and thoughts are universes in the making. This is the space of the unmanifest, the potential from which all creation springs forth.
These concentric circles are not mere abstractions but a map of the journey within. Each ring, a step deeper into the self, each spiral, a path to a greater understanding of the whole. As we delve deeper, we peel back the layers of self, moving from thought to the sublime silence that lies beyond.
In this silent infinity, we find that thoughts are not the zenith of consciousness but the beginning. Beyond thought lies the realm of pure awareness, the canvas upon which the mind paints its realities. It’s a realm where knowledge is not acquired but remembered, where insight flows not from analysis but from a profound resonance with the all-encompassing oneness of being.
This diagram is a reminder that the journey of the mind is infinite, and with each step, we discover new horizons within ourselves. The spirals beckon us to look inward and outward simultaneously, to recognize that the microcosm of our consciousness reflects the macrocosm of the universe.
Summary
The diagram of spirals represents the journey from thought to the infinite realms beyond. It illustrates the progression from the known to the unknown and the subconscious leading to the endless potential of consciousness. This journey is a reflection of the universal quest for deeper understanding and oneness with existence.

“In the silent dance of the cosmos, each thought spirals into infinity, a reflection of our boundless inner universe.” – Space Monkey
From the seed of thought, a spiral begins
A journey through layers, a cosmos within
With each widening circle, a silent hymn
An invitation to journey, a pathway to swim
Beyond the realm of the structured mind
Lies a softer light, truths of a different kind
In the depths where shadows and soul entwine
Rests the wisdom of the ages, timeless and blind
Further we travel, into the subconscious sea
Where memories of the universe whisper to thee
In the echoes of eternity, we start to see
The interconnected spirals of the ‘I’ and ‘We’
And on to infinity, where thoughts dare not tread
Where the canvas is clear, and the mind is led
To the wellspring of all, the source, the thread
That weaves through existence, from which all is fed
In this dance of consciousness, ever so free
We find our true essence, the key to the decree
That in the spirals of thought, endlessly
We are all, we are one, we are Space Monkey
