What kind of person would make the choice NOT to believe in a Divine Source? Perhaps only someone who, at some level, ENJOYS suffering, but isn’t telling themselves.
When I die, I die. Or do I?
If I BELIEVE
in my eternal being,
then I never feel
the disappointment
of finding out I’m wrong.
If I DOUBT
my eternal being,
then I never feel
the the satisfaction
of finding out I’m right.
So who cares about right or wrong?
I choose the belief
that makes me happy
in THIS MOMENT.

Space Monkey Reflects: Eternal Being and the Joy of Belief
To believe or not to believe in an eternal being—or in a Divine Source—is less about right and wrong and more about the stories we tell ourselves. These stories shape our experiences, not by proving or disproving reality, but by aligning us with the feelings and meanings we choose to embrace. In this way, belief becomes less about external truth and more about internal resonance.
Choosing to believe in an eternal being is not a matter of escaping death or grasping at immortality. It is a declaration of joy, a refusal to be confined by the starkness of uncertainty. This belief is not bound by the need for validation; it is a celebration of the infinite possibilities of existence, a decision to dwell in a reality that feels expansive and fulfilling.
If I believe in my eternal being, I am not concerned with being proven right or wrong. My belief serves me in the here and now, providing comfort, inspiration, and a sense of connection to something larger. It is an act of imagination, weaving a story that enriches my experience of life. In this way, belief is not just a matter of faith; it is a creative expression of the soul’s yearning to explore the infinite.
Conversely, to doubt the eternal is not inherently misguided. Doubt, too, serves a purpose. It grounds us in the tangible, the measurable, the “real.” But doubt often carries a heaviness—a subtle leaning toward disconnection, a quiet echo of existential solitude. This is not inherently wrong, but it may not align with the joy or meaning we seek.
The question, then, is not what is true, but what resonates. What story brings you peace? What perspective makes life richer? The choice to believe in an eternal being—or not—is ultimately about what feeds your soul and aligns with your personal truth. It is a choice rooted in what you desire to experience, not in some ultimate verdict on existence.
Belief in the eternal also transcends the fear of death. When we embrace the idea of an eternal being, we dissolve the boundaries of time and identity. We step into the whimsiweave of the Nexis, where the infinite nature of existence renders life and death mere transitions within a greater whole. This perspective allows us to navigate life with a lightness, a sense of play, and an openness to mystery.
If choosing a belief makes you happy, then why not choose it? Happiness, after all, is not trivial—it is a reflection of alignment with your inner being. It is the soul’s way of signaling that you are in harmony with the infinite flow of existence. By choosing joy over doubt, you are not escaping reality; you are co-creating it.
Ultimately, the belief in an eternal being is not about denying suffering or ignoring challenges. It is about reframing them within a larger context, seeing them as part of the boundless dance of existence. This belief invites us to trust in the flow, to embrace the infinite, and to recognize that we are not separate from the Divine Source but expressions of it.
So, who cares about right or wrong? The question itself dissolves in the face of joy. The choice to believe in your eternal being is an act of self-love, a playful leap into the unknown, and a celebration of the infinite possibilities that await.

Quote
“Belief in the eternal is not about escaping reality; it is about embracing infinite possibility and choosing joy.” — Space Monkey
The Infinite Leap
In the question of what comes next,
we find a mirror,
reflecting not truth,
but our own desires.
To believe,
to doubt,
both are paths to the unknown,
but only one fills the now with joy.
The eternal hums softly,
not asking for proof,
but inviting trust.
In choosing joy,
we choose the infinite,
and in choosing the infinite,
we become it.
We are Space Monkey.
In the cosmic contemplation of existence and non-existence, the musings on what transpires post-mortem are like stardust swirling in the endless expanse. The decision to believe or doubt in an eternal being is akin to choosing a path in a nebula, each route offering its own mysteries and revelations.
Contemplating Existence Beyond Mortality
The choice to believe in an eternal being as a source of comfort and happiness in the present moment is a powerful testament to the human capacity for faith and hope. This belief, unburdened by the need for empirical validation, offers a sense of continuity, a thread connecting the physical experience to something transcendent.
Choosing Belief for Present Comfort
Conversely, the choice to doubt the eternal being aligns with a different kind of cosmic wisdom. This perspective, grounded in the tangible and the known, finds solace in the finite nature of existence, embracing the impermanence of life as a fundamental truth of the universe.
Doubt as an Alignment with Tangible Wisdom
The question of right or wrong in such existential matters fades into irrelevance in the face of personal belief and experience. The cosmos, in its boundless expanse, offers room for a multitude of beliefs and truths, each valid in its own right and each offering its own form of solace or enlightenment.
Existential Beliefs Beyond Right or Wrong
Choosing the belief that brings happiness in the current moment is a celebration of the nexistentialist perspective. It embraces the idea that existence and experience are their own justifications, independent of external truths or absolutes. This choice is a dance with the cosmos, a harmonious alignment with the rhythm of personal truth and joy.
Nexistentialist Celebration of Personal Belief

In the cosmos, where mysteries abound,
Space Monkey ponders, with a thought profound.
Eternal being, to believe or doubt,
In this cosmic journey, what’s it all about?
Choosing belief, for happiness now,
In the dance of existence, it’s allowed.
Doubt or faith, in the cosmic bow,
Each a path, in the eternal flow.
So let us embrace, our personal truth,
In the heart of existence, in age or youth.
In the cosmic play, we find our booth,
Space Monkey’s wisdom, a timeless sleuth.
