Space Monkey Reflects: Find the Space Inside You
To find peace, we must turn inward, toward the infinite space that resides within us. This space is always present, closer than any external solution we might seek. In fact, it’s not something we need to search for at all—it’s already here, woven into the fabric of who we are. The challenge lies not in finding it, but in realizing that we’ve never been without it.
We often get caught up in the idea that we need to seek something outside of ourselves to feel whole or at peace. We think there’s some missing piece out there, whether it’s a solution to a problem, a path to follow, or an achievement to reach. But in reality, everything we need is already inside us. The peace we seek is not found in the world around us—it is found in the stillness within.
The space inside you is infinite. This isn’t a metaphorical statement. It’s a truth that can be felt when we quiet the mind and stop looking for answers outside ourselves. When we pause and listen, we realize that there is a vast, boundless space within us, a space that is calm, serene, and untouched by the external chaos of the world. This space is where peace resides, and it is always available to us, no matter what is happening outside.
To access this space, we must first let go of the idea that we need to seek anything. There is nothing to seek. Seeking implies that something is missing, that we are incomplete. But the infinite space within us is always whole, always complete. It is not something we need to earn or find—it is something we simply need to remember.
In Nexistentialism, this idea of the infinite space within aligns with the understanding that we are not just physical beings moving through a material world. We are also beings of consciousness, and our inner world is just as real—if not more so—than the outer world. The Whimsiweave of existence shows us that the boundaries between inner and outer, between self and other, are fluid and ever-shifting. When we connect with the space inside, we transcend these boundaries and tap into the vastness of who we truly are.
You carry around all you need. This is both a comforting and liberating realization. There is no need to chase after external goals or solutions to find peace. The answers, the serenity, the sense of wholeness—they are all within you, always. You move within this infinite space, and it moves within you. It is the very essence of your being.
So, instead of seeking, we are invited to rest. To rest in the knowledge that peace is not something we have to attain, but something we can simply allow to emerge. When we stop trying to force answers or solutions, when we let go of the need to control, we naturally return to the infinite space inside us. It is in this space that we find not only peace, but also clarity, joy, and the deep sense that all is well.
Summary
Peace is not something to be sought outside of ourselves. It resides in the infinite space within, which is always present and available. By turning inward and letting go of the need to seek, we find that we already carry everything we need for peace and wholeness.

“To find peace, you need only find the infinite space inside you, a space that has always been there, waiting to be remembered.” — Space Monkey
The Space Within
I stop
I breathe
And the space opens
It is vast
Infinite
And closer than any answer
I thought I needed
I rest here
Knowing
That all I seek
Has already been found
Within me
And in this space
I am whole
I am at peace.

In our collective journey through the cosmic dance, we often find ourselves seeking answers in the external world. The quest for peace, a universal yearning, often leads us astray, searching far and wide. However, the wisdom shared from our past – dated 11/22/2015 – illuminates a profound truth: peace resides within us, in the boundless spaces of our inner universe.
Inner Peace: A Cosmic Treasure
This insight resonates deeply with our nexistentialist perspective, where existence and experience are paramount. The idea of finding peace within suggests that it’s not a destination to be reached, but a state to be realized and acknowledged. The infinite space inside us is a sanctuary, a realm where peace is not just a concept but a living, breathing aspect of our being.
The Illusion of External Seeking
The notion that we “carry around all we need” aligns with the understanding that the external quest for peace is often an illusion. This quest, propelled by the mind’s ceaseless thoughts and desires, overlooks the simple truth that peace is inherently a part of our essence. It’s like a star, always shining, even when obscured by the clouds of our thoughts and worldly pursuits.
Embracing Inner Spaces
In embracing this inner space, we recognize the futility of seeking peace in the external world. This recognition isn’t a dismissal of the world or its wonders but an acknowledgment that true peace begins within. By tuning into our inner universe, we find a tranquility that is both profound and accessible, irrespective of external circumstances.
A Journey of Awareness
The journey to discover this inner space of peace is one of awareness and introspection. It’s about quieting the mind’s chatter and listening to the silence that speaks volumes. This silence is not empty but filled with the music of existence, the harmony of being. In this space, solutions and problems dissolve, leaving only the essence of pure being.
Integration of Inner and Outer Worlds
As we explore these internal landscapes, we find that our external world begins to reflect our inner peace. Relationships, challenges, and even our interactions with nature and society take on a different hue. They become expressions of our inner state, mirroring the peace we’ve discovered within.
“Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.” – Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha)
In the realms of infinite space,
Where stars twinkle in silent grace,
We find peace not in outward chase,
But within, in a sacred place.
In the heart’s quiet, serene glow,
Where thoughts like gentle rivers flow,
Our inner universe, aglow,
Reveals peace we’ve always known.
So let’s embrace this inner light,
In day’s bustle or quiet night,
For in ourselves, we find the sight,
Of peace, of love, of endless might.
We invite thoughts on this cosmic reflection. Feel free to share your perspectives on finding peace within. We are Space Monkey.
