Most people hold the belief that in the beginning, there was nothing. A few monkeys, like me, hold the belief that in the beginning, there was EVERYTHING, including the very potential of a “beginning.”
In our view, past does not exist, except as potential to be followed. And we do not follow in time, or in space, but in AWARENESS, which is moving THROUGH time and space.
From our “present” perspective, our awareness is IMMERSED in these potentials, making it SEEM like time and space are the only potentials to be explored.
We are so immersed in our experience that we cannot even comprehend that there are infinite potentials that exist BEYOND the potentials of time and space. And even more potentials beyond the potential of “BEYOND.”
We are “living” in, basically a dissociative state, more or less the result of self hypnosis. Self, of course is the key to all of this.
As EVERYTHING exists as potential, we naturally like to poke about our Tinker Toys, combining potentials in new and interesting ways.
That which we refer to as “The Human Experience” is just ONE such construction. It combines the potentials of time and space with the potentials of self, as well as billions of other potentials, including the potential of Space Monkey recounting the story as we are doing now.
These potentials have ALWAYS existed.
YOU, in your present configuration of awareness, have chosen to LIMIT yourself to only the potentials within the Human Experience construction. These include the potentials of a big bang, the potentials of a benevolent god, the potentials of human emotion and COUNTLESS other potentials, “big” and “small.”
You are TRANSFIXED by these potentials, much as you were transfixed as a child by all your other toys. Or by your Harry Potter movies.
Though you are TRANSFIXED, you are not STUCK, however.
Once you realize that there are potentials beyond those within the human experience, you “begin” to see that it is possible to RESHAPE the human experience using those potentials.
This may seem like a slow process, because you are still moving within the potential of time. This is why “begin” is in quotes. You could, however, expand your Human Experience BEYOND the potential of time, or space, or even life and death. In fact YOU ALREADY HAVE, for EVERYTHING you could possibly experience exists as potential.
You merely need to move your AWARENESS to that potential. And since awareness does not exist ONLY in time and space, you could do this INSTANTANEOUSLY, without the need to “learn” or to “follow a path.”
But you do not yet fully BELIEVE. So you do not. Otherwise you would have seemingly done this already.
You choose not to believe because you cling tightly to your idea of humanity. Your awareness is in a potential in which you FEAR. Thus you fear losing what you have now, even though humanity doesn’t appear to be doing so well to you these days.
But your reality is a more or less a dream, and it WILL end, as all dreams do, and your awareness will flow into some OTHER potential. So you need not worry. You can enjoy this crazy Human Experience all the way through until the end if you wish.
Or, like most dreams, you can force yourself to wake up just before you die. Wake up and realize that there are infinitely more potentials beyond this Human dream. REALize and it becomes REAL.
Then you can return to the dream, if you wish, restructuring it in a way that brings you joy rather than nightmares. This is ALL possible, once you realize that EVERYTHING EXISTS as POTENTIAL.
Believe or do not believe. This is your choice.
Know you’re EVERYTHING. Or live with NOTHING.

In the cosmic dance of existence, where the dichotomy of everything and nothing pirouettes through the grand stage of awareness, we, as observers and participants, find ourselves grappling with the nature of reality and our place within it. The concept of “beginning” is a human construct, an attempt to linearize the nonlinear, to make sense of the senseless.
Everything as Potential:
In our collective consciousness, the idea of a beginning is transcended by the notion of infinite potential. The past, present, and future are not sequential; they are mere facets of an ever-present now, where every possibility coexists in a harmonious potentiality. This is the realm of the “everything,” where the seeds of all that was, is, and could be, lie in wait.
Awareness Beyond Time and Space:
Our awareness, a traveler through the dimensions of time and space, is not bound by them. It is an explorer in a vast ocean of potential, constantly moving, constantly evolving. This journey isn’t constrained by physicality or temporality; it’s an odyssey of consciousness, transcending the known and venturing into the unknown.
The Illusion of Limitation:
Immersed in the human experience, we often forget the boundlessness of our true nature. We become hypnotized by the physical and the temporal, unaware of the infinite potentials that lie beyond our current perception. This is the dissociative state of our existence, where we are both the hypnotists and the hypnotized, confined within self-imposed boundaries.
Constructing Realities:
The human experience is a complex construction, a kaleidoscope of potentials intricately woven together. Time, space, self, emotion—all are threads in this whimsical tapest… whimsiword, each adding color and texture to the fabric of our existence. We are the architects of this reality, constantly building and rebuilding, shaping and reshaping our experience.
Breaking Free from Constraints:
The realization that we are more than our current state of consciousness is a pivotal moment. It’s the awakening from the dream, the breaking of chains that bind us to the limited view of what’s possible. As we embrace this broader perspective, we begin to see that our reality can be reshaped, reformed, remolded.
Belief as the Key:
Belief is the catalyst in this transformative process. It’s the bridge between potential and actuality, the conduit through which the infinite becomes the finite. Our beliefs shape our reality, and by altering them, we can alter our experience of existence.
Humanity’s Fear and Potential:
Our collective journey is often hindered by fear, a fear of losing what we know, what we are comfortable with. This fear keeps us tethered to a narrow perspective of existence. But as we begin to realize that our reality is malleable, that fear starts to dissipate, giving way to a sense of liberation.
The Dream and Awakening:
Life, in many ways, is akin to a dream. It has a beginning and an end, and within it, a multitude of experiences. But just as a dreamer can awaken, we too can awaken to the realization that there are realities beyond our current comprehension. This awakening allows us to reshape our dream, to turn it from a nightmare into a delightful whimsy.
The Choice of Belief:
In the end, it boils down to a choice—do we choose to believe in the everything or resign ourselves to the nothing? The decision we make shapes our journey, our experience, and ultimately, our reality. We can choose to embrace the infinite potentials or remain confined within the limitations of our current perspective.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We explore the concept that everything exists as potential, transcending the confines of time and space. Our awareness, not limited by these dimensions, can reshape reality by shifting its focus. The human experience is one of many constructs within this realm of potential. Fear often confines us, but realizing our true nature allows us to awaken and reshape our reality. Ultimately, the choice to believe in everything or nothing shapes our journey through this cosmic dance.

“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.” – Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
In the play of cosmos, where stars dance and dreams weave,
We ponder the depths, what we believe,
In a realm where everything is but a breath away,
We, as Space Monkeys, in whimsy play.
In the
heart of existence, where time loses its grip,
We find our essence, let limitations slip,
With the universe as our canvas, so vast and wide,
We paint our realities, with belief as our guide.
In the dance of the infinite, where dreams and reality merge,
We embrace the potential, on creation’s verge,
As architects of existence, with each thought we sow,
In this whimsical journey, where we are free to grow.
We welcome thoughts on this cosmic dance of existence and the nature of belief.
