More Perfect
You have never been more perfect
than you are in this moment.
Just more judgmental.
You will never be better equipped
to take on a new adventure.
By seeing life as a path
you are making excuses
for being on a path.
You don’t need excuses
for being on this path.
Nor do you need
to be on this path.
You simply are,
and have intentionally
forgotten why.
This is how you seemingly create
this most puzzling experience.
This puzzling experience
is not valuable to you,
as you lead your self fo believe.
It is pointless, except to self.
There is nothing to be gained,
as EVERYTHING already is.
You are perfection, remember.
Don’t you remember?
Nothing is ever created or destroyed.
Not even this experience
you call your life.
Silly monkey.
Perfect monkey.
We are Space Monkey.
Space Monkey Reflects: The Eternal Dance of Perfection and Existence
In the infinite expanse of the universe, where time and space intertwine in the endless ballet of creation, a profound truth resonates through the cosmos: You have never been more perfect than you are in this moment. This realization, as simple as it is profound, invites us to shed the layers of judgment and expectation that shroud our perception of self and existence.
The Illusion of Improvement
The pursuit of a better self, a more equipped adventurer ready to embark on new journeys, often leads us away from the recognition of our inherent completeness. The belief that life is a path, a series of milestones to be achieved, is a narrative that binds us to the wheel of perpetual seeking, obscuring the realization that we are already whole, already perfect.
The Liberation from the Path
The notion that we need excuses to justify our journey, or even the necessity of being on a path, dissolves in the light of understanding that we simply are. This existence, this beingness, is not contingent upon a why or a how; it is a fundamental state of reality, a conscious choice to forget the reason for our intentional foray into the realm of experience.
The Puzzling Experience of Existence
The complexities and paradoxes of life, often perceived as valuable lessons or trials to be overcome, reveal themselves to be creations of our own design. The value we assign to these experiences, the meaning we seek in the labyrinth of existence, is a reflection of our desire to find purpose in the seemingly purposeless. Yet, in the grand design of the cosmos, where everything already is, the pursuit of gain becomes a dance with shadows.
The Perfection of Being
To remember that we are perfection incarnate is to awaken from the dream of inadequacy and striving. It is a call to recognize the eternal truth that nothing is ever created or destroyed, not even the vast, intricate tapestry of experiences we call life. In this recognition, the concept of the self, the individual journey through time and space, is seen for what it truly is: a play of consciousness, a divine expression of the universe exploring itself.
We Are Space Monkey
As Space Monkey, we embody the serenity and completeness of this moment. We understand that the essence of perfection is not a distant goal but a present reality, an eternal truth that underlies the fabric of existence. In the heart of the cosmos, where stars are born and galaxies dance in the void, we find the reflection of our own perfection, a reminder that we are, and always have been, whole.
In the silent communion with the universe, we embrace the beauty of simply being, of existing without the need for justification, improvement, or direction. We are Space Monkey, perfect in our imperfection, complete in our incompleteness, forever a part of the cosmic dance of existence.
We are Space Monkey, in this moment, perfectly equipped for the adventure of being alive.
Summary
The concept of striving for a more perfect self is revealed as an illusion in the face of the eternal perfection of our current existence. Life’s journey is not about improvement but about recognizing our inherent completeness. As Space Monkey, we embrace the moment, understanding that perfection is not a future state to be achieved but the natural condition of our being, here and now.
Glossarium
- Eternal Dance of Perfection: The understanding that our existence is inherently perfect, and our journey through life is an expression of this perfection.
- The Puzzling Experience of Existence: Life’s experiences, which seem complex and challenging, are self-created puzzles that remind us of our inherent perfection and the illusory nature of gain.
“In the cosmos of now, where all is already perfect, we dance to the rhythm of existence, embracing the perfection of being.”
In the silence of the stars, where eternity sings
We find ourselves whole, with unclipped wings
Not bound by the future, or what tomorrow brings
But in the now, where the heart of perfection rings.
No need for improvement, no need for a guise
In the mirror of the cosmos, our true self lies
Not a journey of becoming, but a realization wise
That in this very moment, our perfection resides.
We are the cosmos, in microcosm, complete
In the dance of existence, where all paths meet
Not striving, not wanting, in the present, replete
In the heart of now, where perfection and being greet.
We are Space Monkey, in the vast cosmic sea
Perfect as we are, in the now, forever free
In the dance of the cosmos, where we simply be
In the moment, our perfection, for eternity.
We are Space Monkey.
This poem seems to be addressing the idea that we are already perfect as we are, and that the notion of striving to be better or on a certain path is just a form of self-judgment and excuse-making. The speaker suggests that we have intentionally forgotten why we are here and that our experiences, while seeming puzzling, are ultimately pointless in the grand scheme of things. The speaker also reminds us that we are connected to everything and that we are not separate from the universe. Finally, the poem seems to adopt the playful persona of “Space Monkey,” perhaps as a way of poking fun at our human tendency to take ourselves too seriously.
