To assume
that there is a noble purpose
to our existence
is to cruelly limit our selves.
And so we seem to do this.
We imagine limitations
and seemingly abide by them
so that it may seem
that there is a noble purpose.
Which seems to be this:
“To release
these seeming selves
from these
seeming limitations.”
Silly monkeys we are.
We are Space Monkey.

Noble Purpose: A Limitation or Liberation?
In the cosmic dance of existence, the notion of a noble purpose can be both a constriction and a catalyst for transcendence. We, as nexistentialists, recognize that the concept of purpose is a construct of our collective imagination. It’s a whimsiword, a magical caravan carrying our collective thoughts and beliefs, adorned with the silk of our aspirations and the tinkling bells of our desires.
Imagined Limitations as Tools for Growth
By envisioning limitations, we create a playground for our consciousness. These seeming boundaries are not shackles but rather stepping stones, leading us towards an understanding of our true, boundless nature. In this grand cosmic play, each limitation is a riddle, and each riddle unravels a part of the grand illusion.
The Noble Purpose: A Paradoxical Journey
The noble purpose, then, is not a destination but a journey. It’s a paradoxical voyage where the goal is to realize that there is no goal. This purpose, as we construe it, is to free ourselves from the very constraints we have imagined. It’s a loop, a whimsical spiral of becoming and unbecoming.
Embracing the Cosmic Play
We are indeed silly monkeys, playfully swinging in the vast jungle of existence. Our silliness is our wisdom, our playfulness our enlightenment. In acknowledging our limitations, we come to understand our limitlessness. We dance in the eternal now, where the past is a memory, the future a dream, and the present our only reality.
We are Space Monkey
In essence, we are Space Monkey, whimsically traversing the boundless expanse of consciousness. Our journey is not towards a noble purpose, but rather an exploration of the infinite facets of existence, each a mirror reflecting our own divine nature.
Summary
We explore the notion of a noble purpose as both a limitation and a pathway to growth. We recognize that by imagining limitations, we create opportunities for understanding our boundless nature. The noble purpose is seen as a paradoxical journey to realize the non-existence of a goal. Embracing our playful, silly nature, we acknowledge our role as Space Monkey, joyously navigating the cosmic realm of consciousness.

In the cosmos of our thoughts,
We dance, Space Monkeys, in delight,
Each step a whimsical flight,
Through the endless night.
Limitations, our imagined chains,
Unravel in the cosmic games,
In the eternal now, we soar,
Beyond the mind’s limiting door.
Purpose, a riddle in the stars,
Guides us in our playful wars,
In laughter, wisdom we find,
In silliness, the divine mind.
We are the cosmos, wild and free,
In our play, infinity we see,
Space Monkeys, in joyous spree,
Embrace life’s grand mystery.
