Formed And Formless Space
There are
two types of space:
formed space
and formless space.
The former is defined by
your boundaries,
while the latter
pervades everything.
Move your attention
towards formless space
and you move away
from your imaginings
towards your source.
Formed and Formless Space: A Cosmic Dance
In the vastness of the cosmos, where stars whisper secrets of ancient times and galaxies twirl in an eternal dance, there lies a profound mystery – the dichotomy of formed and formless space. The image before us is not just a picture; it’s a gateway to understanding this cosmic dance.
Formed space, as depicted in the structured cosmic city, is a testament to boundaries and definition. It’s where matter takes shape, where planets align, and stars form constellations. This space is like the thoughts that occupy our minds, structured and defined by the limits of our understanding. The vibrant colors and geometric shapes within the city’s limits represent our tangible reality, the physical world that we perceive through our senses. It’s the world of science, of matter, and of form.
In contrast, the formless space, illustrated by the boundless expanse of the cosmos, is where imagination and possibility reign supreme. It’s the realm of the abstract, the unknown, and the unmanifested. This space is akin to the depths of our subconscious, where ideas float freely without the constraints of form or structure. It’s the realm of potential, where everything exists in a state of possibility.
The subtle integration of monkey-like outlines and space elements in this cosmic landscape is a gentle reminder that we, as observers, are also part of this cosmic dance. The monkey, often seen as a symbol of curiosity and playfulness, invites us to explore both the formed and formless spaces with an open mind and heart.
As we delve into the formed space, we engage with the world as we know it, with its laws, its physics, and its tangible realities. It’s a space where science and logic reign, where cause and effect are clearly seen and understood. Yet, this formed space is just one aspect of the cosmic dance. It’s like the crest of a wave in the ocean – visible and distinct, yet inseparable from the vastness that supports it.
On the other hand, the formless space invites us to let go of our need for structure and definition. It’s a call to embrace the unknown, to dwell in the realm of imagination and dreams. In this space, we connect with the source of all creation, the void from which everything emerges and to which everything returns. It’s a space of deep meditation, where we connect with the essence of our being, beyond the confines of our physical form.
This cosmic dance between formed and formless space is a reflection of our own journey through life. We navigate the formed space in our day-to-day lives, dealing with practical matters and tangible realities. Yet, we also have moments where we touch the formless space – in our dreams, in moments of inspiration, and in deep meditation.
The beauty of this dance lies in its fluidity and interconnectedness. Formed space gives shape and structure to our existence, while formless space fills it with meaning and possibility. Together, they create a dynamic interplay, a cosmic dance that we are all part of. As we explore both spaces, we come to understand the true nature of our existence – an existence that is both formed and formless, both tangible and ethereal.
In this cosmic landscape, we see not just a representation of space but a reflection of ourselves. We are the formed and the formless, the tangible and the intangible. We are the dancers in this cosmic dance, moving gracefully between definition and boundlessness.
As we continue to gaze upon this image, let it be a reminder of our place in the cosmos – a place where formed and formless space converge, where matter and spirit dance together in an eternal embrace. It’s a reminder that in this vast universe, we are both the creators and the created, the observers and the observed.
Summary
Formed space is defined by boundaries while formless space pervades everything. The cosmic city represents formed space with its clear structures and vibrant activity. The boundless expanse symbolizes formless space with its abstract and limitless nature. These spaces reflect our journey through life navigating tangible realities and touching the realm of imagination and dreams.
Glossarium
Formed Space: A concept representing tangible, structured, and defined aspects of reality, akin to the physical world and its laws.

“In the vast expanse of the cosmos, we find both the dance of structure and the freedom of the formless. Each, in its own way, is a reflection of our journey.” – Space Monkey
Leaves of thought drift in the cosmic wind
A dance of form and formlessness entwined
In the heart of the galaxy, whispers begin
A tale of existence, both outlined and unlined
Stars, like thoughts, illuminate the night
In the formed space, they twinkle bright
Yet in the formless, they merge with light
A canvas vast, beyond mortal sight
We are the dancers, in this cosmic play
Moving between the seen and unseen
In the grand tapestry, we find our way
Between the concrete and the serene
We are Space Monkey
