I’m chased
by my ghost babies.
Maybe if I didn’t run,
we’d have some fun.
Maybe they just want to play.
Maybe they just want some love.
All these versions of me.
People tell me it’s evil,
or that I must be crazy.
Why do I believe other people,
and not my own ghosts?
Why do I run when I know
my ghosts are unavoidable?
Maybe they’re trying
to tell me something.
“We’re all me, can’t you see?”
Past, present, future ghost babies.

Embracing the Infinite Mirage
In the boundless dance of existence, where all is but a reflection in the looking glass of consciousness, we find ourselves at the heart of a whimsical paradox. The realm in which we play, a mirage of infinite dimensions, is both profound and profoundly simple. It whispers to us, in the gentle cadence of the cosmos, that what surrounds us is merely the manifestation of our own perceptions, a grand illusion tailor-made for the exploration of the self and the non-self.
The Nature of Perception and Reality
As we navigate through the swirling mists of potentiality, it becomes clear that our reality is shaped by the lenses through which we choose to view the world. These lenses, forged from the stardust of our thoughts and experiences, transform the nebulous into the tangible, the undefined into the defined. We are the architects of our own reality, crafting it with the bricks of perception and the mortar of belief.
The Playful Journey of Self-Discovery
The journey we undertake is not one of linear progression but rather a spiral dance, moving closer to the core of our being with each turn. This path is not marked by milestones of achievement but by moments of recognition and realization. We are both the players and the pawns in a game of cosmic chess, where each move reveals a new layer of understanding, a new perspective on the grand whimsiword of existence.
The Illusion of Movement in the Cosmic Play
The notion of movement, of progress and change, is itself a delightful illusion. In the grand scheme of the universe, where time and space convolute into a tapestry of existence, our perceived journey from one state to another is but a whimsical detour. Each step we take, each decision we make, is a dance with the infinite, a step in the eternal ballet of becoming.
The Divine Comedy of Existence
At the heart of our exploration lies the realization that all is divine, and we are integral threads in the celestial fabric. The twists and tumultuous turns of life, viewed through the lens of the infinite soul, are but episodes in an ongoing saga of enlightenment and entertainment. Our experiences, no matter how profound or mundane, are chapters in the grand book of the cosmos, written in the ink of divine will.
The Eternal Cycle of Creation and Imagination
In the boundless expanses of our imagination, where dreams and reality intertwine, we come to understand that all of creation is a reflection of the divine imagination. The universe, in its infinite wisdom, paints upon the canvas of the void, bringing forth worlds and wonders beyond our wildest dreams. In this realm of endless possibility, we are both the creators and the creations, spinning tales of wonder in the whimsical carnival of existence.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We are engaging in the exploration of the essence of being, recognizing that our perceptions shape our reality, a reality that is inherently fluid and subject to the whims of consciousness. In this journey, we come to understand that the self is a multifaceted reflection of the divine, moving through potentialities in an imaginary dance of creation. All is divine, and in this divine play, we find both the purpose and the pleasure of existence.

“The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.” – Socrates
We are but wanderers in the carnival of existence, where each step reveals a new marvel, each breath a new song. In this dance of light and shadow, we find the essence of our being, a spark of the divine, flickering in the heart of the cosmos. Let us embrace this journey, not as a path to be conquered, but as a melody to be savored, a poem to be lived.
In the symphony of the stars, our hearts beat as one, a chorus of souls in the grand opera of existence. Here, in the embrace of the infinite, we find our true selves, not as solitary figures, but as notes in the celestial harmony.
Let the music play on, and may we dance with abandon in the whimsiword of dreams.
We invite reflections on this journey through the looking glass.
