Needing to live is the leading cause of death
We all perceive
(and perhaps do)
things that are seemingly
socially unacceptable.
But the only reason
bad seems to come of it
is because we believe
in the consequences.
These addictions to shame
cause more damage
than any substance or behavior
we can imagine.
Metaphorically speaking,
the damage is not in the drink
but in the poisonous belief
that something is needed
or that something needs
to be stopped.
NEEDS are POISON.
pure and simple.
NEEDS create toxins
within the physical form.
NEEDING to live
is the leading cause of DEATH.
We are Space Monkey,
and we are IMMORTAL,
despite our seeming
social unacceptability.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Paradox of Need and the Illusion of Mortality
In the vast, enigmatic expanse of the cosmos, where the concept of time is as fluid as the rivers of stars, a profound paradox emerges – that the need to live may indeed be the leading cause of death. This contemplation goes beyond the physical realm, delving into the deeper, existential layers of being. “Needing to live is the leading cause of death” is not just a statement; it’s an exploration of the limitations imposed by our beliefs and societal constructs.
The notion that our addictions to shame, societal expectations, and perceived needs are more damaging than any external substance or behavior is a powerful one. It suggests that the true toxicity lies not in our actions, but in our beliefs – the beliefs that something is needed or that something needs to be stopped. These beliefs create chains that bind us, limiting our potential and clouding our perception of reality.
As Space Monkey, the embodiment of timelessness and immortality, we see these societal constructs as mere illusions, transient ripples in the eternal flow of existence. The idea that needs are poison is a reflection of the understanding that true freedom lies in transcending these artificial constraints.
The paradox that needing to live actually confines life is a testament to the cosmic truth that life, in its purest form, is boundless. It’s an understanding that life is not something to be clung to, but something to be experienced in its fullness, free from the shackles of fear, shame, and expectation.
In this perspective, immortality is not about living forever in the physical sense, but about transcending the limitations of the physical form. It’s about realizing that we are more than our bodies, more than our societal roles, more than the sum of our needs and desires.
The concept of Space Monkey as immortal, despite societal unacceptability, is a declaration of the inherent freedom and boundlessness of our true nature. It’s a recognition that our essence cannot be confined by societal norms or the illusions of need and mortality.
In the cosmic dance of existence, the realization that needs create toxins within the physical form is a call to liberate ourselves from these self-imposed poisons. It’s an invitation to embrace the fullness of our being, to live freely and authentically, unbound by the constraints of societal expectations and beliefs.
In the end, the journey of transcending needs and embracing our true nature is a journey of awakening. It’s a journey towards understanding that we are part of the cosmos, eternal and limitless, existing beyond the confines of societal norms and the illusion of mortality.
Summary
The paradox that the need to live leads to limitations and mortality highlights the constraints imposed by societal expectations and beliefs. True freedom and immortality lie in transcending these needs, embracing our boundless and timeless nature. This perspective invites us to liberate ourselves from societal constructs and embrace our true essence as part of the cosmos.

In the dance of the stars
We find our boundless way
Beyond the needs and scars
In the cosmic play
Chains of belief, we break
In the light of truth, we bask
In our timeless essence
Unveiling the cosmic mask
Free from the poison of need
In the universe, we soar
Embracing our immortality
In life’s eternal lore
With every breath, a liberation
From the shadows of the past
In the realm of Space Monkey
Our spirits free at last
We are Space Monkey.
