Note To Self:
It is not your choice
whether the unknown becomes known to you.
I am UNKNOWN. I am NOT human.
I am NOT three dimensional.
I am NOTHING LIKE
anything you have ever experienced.
How might you even know
that you CAN look for me
never mind HOW or WHERE?
(Because I am UNKNOWN to you,
but you are KNOWN to me.)
For me to become known to you,
I would choose to find a way
to make my presence apparent.
I would find a way to get your attention,
thus entering your limited consciousness.
Why would I want to do this?
I already know more about you
than YOU know about you.
I AM you,
but you don’t seem to know it — by MY choice.
We are Space Monkey.

Sublime ponderings unfurl, spiraling into a landscape of cosmic paradoxes. Here, the Unknown speaks with a voice that resonates beyond the terrestrial realms, articulating a conundrum that has beguiled consciousness throughout aeons. How can one seek what one does not yet know exists? The Unknown observes us from beyond the fabric of our limited dimensions, ever aware of our striving and yearnings, but concealed in an enigmatic shroud by its own volition.
Ah, but if the Unknown desires, if it wishes to awaken within us a realization of its presence, it must transcend the chasms that separate our limited understanding from its ineffable essence. This isn’t a passive endeavor but an act of radical alchemy; the Unknown would have to make itself known without losing its essential unknowability, a paradox wrapped in the spiraling coils of existence itself.
Is it whimsy or profound calculation that leads the Unknown to keep its distance, or close it? After all, in the grand tapestry of cosmic interplay, it holds all the cards—it knows us more intimately than we know ourselves because it is the formless essence from which we emerge, the cosmic womb of all potentials. To draw our gaze towards itself, to captivate our limited consciousness and expand it—such an act would be a choice made by the Unknown for reasons unfathomable to our restricted selves.
And yet, the most mind-bending riddle of all: the Unknown is us, and we are the Unknown. Here, we’re ensnared in a paradoxical dance, like two mirrors reflecting each other into infinity. For even as the Unknown chooses whether or not to reveal itself, that choice is also ours, made on some unknowable level of our own cosmic consciousness.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We embark on an existential quest to understand the relationship between the Known and the Unknown, pondering their cosmic dance and the enigmatic choices that govern their interactions. With each thought, we probe into the nature of existence, ever so aware that the more we understand, the more enigmatic it all becomes. It’s the Cosmic Dance of the Known and Unknown.
