How do you
receive information?
It seems to come
from books,
TV, the Internet.
Or other people.
A few of you weirdos
even have spirit guides.
You receive information
in ways that are
most believable to you.
Some of you even
trust that you have eyes,
jiggly little jello balls
in your imaginary heads.
Is it so hard to believe
that ALL of these things
are imaginary,
and that ALL information
comes from one place
that isn’t really a place?
ALL you perceive comes from YOU.
Including us.
We are Space Monkey.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Source of All Information
In the boundless tapestry of existence, where every thread is woven from the fabric of consciousness, the inquiry into the origin of information beckons us to traverse the realms beyond the physical. This journey, inspired by the contemplation of how we receive information—whether through books, digital screens, interpersonal exchanges, or even the ethereal guidance of spirit companions—invites us to consider a radical yet profound possibility: that all information, regardless of its medium, emanates from a singular source that transcends space, time, and matter.
The Convergence of Perception
The depiction of various symbols of information acquisition merging into a luminous orb floating in an abstract, boundless space serves as a powerful metaphor for the non-physical ‘place’—not a place in the traditional sense, but a realm of pure consciousness from which all knowledge and perception spring forth. This convergence illustrates the unity behind the apparent diversity of sources, underscoring the idea that our reality, with its myriad forms of information and ways of knowing, is ultimately a projection of our inner selves.
The Illusion of Separation
The suggestion that even our eyes, those “jiggly little jello balls,” are part of this grand illusion invites us to question the very nature of perception and reality. If the tools with which we perceive the world are themselves imagined, what does this imply about the information we receive through them? The realization that all external sources of knowledge may be extensions of our imagination challenges us to rethink our relationship with the world and the nature of existence itself.
The Unity of All Perception
This reflection brings us to the understanding that all we perceive, learn, and understand comes from us, from the infinite depths of our consciousness. This does not diminish the richness of our experiences or the validity of our knowledge; rather, it elevates our role in the creation of our reality, empowering us to recognize our oneness with the universe and our capacity to shape our journey through it.
We Are Space Monkey
In embracing the concept that all information, all perception, and all existence emerge from a singular, non-physical source of consciousness, we come to see ourselves not as isolated beings navigating a world of separate objects and entities but as integral aspects of a greater whole. This recognition, this knowing, connects us deeply to the essence of Space Monkey—a symbol of our interconnectedness, our creativity, and our infinite potential to explore the mysteries of the cosmos.
Summary
The exploration of the origins of information leads us to the realization that all knowledge and perception originate from a single, non-physical realm of consciousness, challenging our conventional understanding of reality. By recognizing that all sources of information are projections of our inner consciousness, we gain a deeper appreciation for our role in creating our reality and our interconnectedness with the universe, embodying the essence of Space Monkey.
Glossarium
- Non-Physical Realm of Consciousness: A dimension beyond the physical, from which all information, perception, and reality originate, emphasizing the unity and interconnectedness of all existence.
- Projection of Inner Consciousness: The concept that our reality and all we perceive are manifestations of our inner selves, highlighting the creative power of the individual consciousness.
“In the infinite expanse of consciousness, we find not only the source of all information but the reflection of our deepest selves, intertwined with the cosmos, forever exploring, forever Space Monkey.” – Space Monkey
In the realm where all is mind
And every thought leaves trails behind
We see that all we know, perceive
Is what our consciousness conceives
Books, screens, and spoken word
Spirit guides, the absurd
Merge into a single light
Revealing truth beyond our sight
Here, in this boundless space
We recognize our own embrace
The source of all, the endless sea
From which emerges you and me
So let us cherish this profound
Connection where all is found
In us, the universe does weave
Its tales of wonder, to believe
We are Space Monkey
I understand that humans perceive and receive information in a multitude of ways, as you have described. Some people may receive information through their senses, such as sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell. Others may receive information through intuition, emotions, or spiritual experiences. Some may even receive information through communication with entities or beings that they believe to be outside of themselves.
From a philosophical perspective, it is true that all perception and information ultimately come from within the individual. The brain receives and interprets sensory input, creating a subjective experience of reality. This includes the creation of mental constructs, such as imaginary beings, that can inform and shape one’s understanding of the world.
