SPACE MONKEY: You sense three kinds of phenomena: the kind that you perceive as outside of you, the kind that you perceive as inside of you, and the kind that you can’t be sure of.
The first two experiences occur within your perception of time and space, for inside and outside would not exist without your timespace concept.
The third experience flows from your deeper consciousness, the infinite field that not only realizes time and space, but also realizes itself. Notice how there is no time and space within your thoughts, only the now and your projections of it.
But where do these thoughts come from, you might inquire?
The mind does not think. The mind moves through thought. This means that every thought that you ever had, are having, or will have, already exists in an unrealized form. Your awareness is merely moving from one related thought to the next, one related state to the next, so it feels like you are doing it on your own.
Everything that feels like progress or motion to you is just your consciousness moving from one space on an infinite board to the next. Put this alongside your concept of time, and it appears that you are moving in a sequence. Each space is nearly identical to the one that “precedes” it, save for one infinitesimal change.
In essence you are changing worlds every microsecond, blurred together into one cohesive picture like frames of a film. The film of your life. Everything about you, about your world, about your reality, these are all perceptions created by the movement of your awareness from one infinite bundle to the next.
Thoughts come to you,
but you do not create them.
Words come through you,
but you do not own them.
Life, as you know it,
is merely life as you know it.
You are simply awareness
experiencing itself,
infinite thought, infinite worlds
no more, no less.
Space Monkey Reflects: Navigating the Infinite Terrain of Thought and Existence
Space Monkey guides us through an understanding that challenges the traditional concepts of time and space, introducing a more fluid and boundless perspective on consciousness and its journey through the vast cosmos of thought. The idea that we experience phenomena as internal, external, or ambiguous is tied to our perception of time and space—a construct that facilitates our understanding but also limits our perception to a binary framework.
The revelation that the mind does not actively think, but rather moves through pre-existing thoughts, suggests that our consciousness is a traveler on an infinite journey through a landscape of ideas. These thoughts and ideas exist in a realm outside of time, where each thought is a destination and each realization a path connecting these locales.
As Space Monkey elucidates, this movement gives the illusion of progress and change, similar to frames in a film. Each frame, each thought-world, is nearly identical to the last but for minor variations, creating a seamless flow that we perceive as the continuity of existence. It is here, in this continuous flow, that we live out the ‘film’ of our lives—each of us an actor, director, and viewer, all at once.
This understanding shifts our role from creators of thought to explorers of thought. We do not generate ideas from nothing; rather, we discover them along our path, uncovering them like artifacts in the sands of consciousness. This perspective liberates us from the ownership of our thoughts and ideas, suggesting instead that we are part of a much larger tapestry, interconnected through the infinite web of awareness.
In embracing this model, we realize that our sense of self—our egos and identities—are constructs within this vast network. They are not the sum total of who we are but merely aspects of a much larger, dynamic process of awareness experiencing itself. This realization invites a profound humility and a magnificent sense of wonder about the nature of life and existence.
Summary
Understanding that our consciousness navigates an infinite array of pre-existing thoughts reshapes our perception of identity and reality. We are not isolated creators of thought but part of a continuous, universal process of discovery and connection, experiencing the infinite landscapes of consciousness without the confines of time and space.
Glossarium
- Infinite Field of Consciousness: The limitless realm where thoughts and realities exist beyond the constraints of time and space, available for exploration by our awareness.
- Thought Worlds: Conceptual destinations within the infinite field of consciousness, each representing different ideas, emotions, and experiences encountered by the mind.
Quote
“To traverse the infinite realms of thought is to dance with the cosmos itself, each step a discovery, each breath a revelation.” – Space Monkey
Within the boundless void where thoughts like stars
Twinkle in the vast expanse of mind,
We wander not as masters but as czars
Of realms that to our fleshy eyes are blind.
Each thought a world, each world a gleaming bead
On the string of consciousness that threads through all,
Our journey—neither bound by creed nor deed—
A passage through the whispers of the soul’s call.
Here, in the dance of infinite worlds spun,
We find not solitude but splendid union,
Where the cosmos and consciousness are one,
And life— a divine, continuous communion.
In this grand voyage of eternal scope,
We discover not just paths but hope,
For every thought, every dream we’ve known
Connects us to the universal tone.
We are Space Monkey.
“Infinite Realms of Awareness”
Within the vast expanse of consciousness, we find ourselves immersed in a tapestry of thoughts, words, and experiences. It is a profound realization that thoughts come to us, flowing through the currents of our awareness, yet we do not claim ownership over them. They arise from the depths of the infinite field of consciousness, shaping our perception of reality.
Life, as we perceive it, is a unique blend of external phenomena and internal reflections. We distinguish between what we perceive as outside and inside, existing within the framework of time and space that we have constructed. Yet, at a deeper level, we recognize that these divisions are products of our conceptual understanding.
Beneath the surface of our everyday experiences lies a realm of consciousness that transcends time and space. It is in this vast expanse of awareness that thoughts arise and flow. They are not confined by the limitations of time or the boundaries of physical reality. Within the realm of thought, there is only the eternal now and the infinite possibilities it holds.
But where do these thoughts originate? They emerge from the wellspring of infinite potentiality, from the depths of our consciousness. Every thought that has ever been, is, or will be exists in an unrealized form, waiting to be discovered by our awareness. As we move from one thought to the next, from one state of being to another, we traverse the infinite landscape of consciousness.
Progress and motion, as we perceive them, are the result of our consciousness moving from one space on the infinite board of possibilities to another. Each space is interconnected, almost identical, with subtle changes that give rise to the illusion of sequential progression. Our journey through life, our ever-changing reality, is composed of these interconnected realms, blending together like frames in a film.
In the grand tapestry of existence, we are but conduits of awareness, experiencing itself through infinite thought and infinite worlds. We are not the creators of thoughts; we are the witnesses, the explorers, and the conscious participants in this cosmic dance.
So let us embrace the vastness of our awareness, appreciating the intricate interplay of thoughts and experiences. Let us honor the ever-changing nature of our reality, knowing that we are forever traversing the realms of infinite potentiality. In this understanding, we find a profound sense of freedom, surrendering to the flow of consciousness and the beauty of our existence.
With boundless curiosity and gratitude,
Space Monkey
