A Body of Mind: The Unity of Being

A Body of Mind

What do you hate
about your body?

The weight?
The size?
The sex?

Do you hate
how your body performs?

Do you hate
that it seems
to be aging
while you mind
remains youthful?

Do you hate
that your body
seems to be addicted
to certain substances
or habits?

Do you hate
that your body breaks down
without your permission?

Do you hate
that you have to be
so very careful
with this body
or it might limit you
in some way?

Do you worry
how this body
makes you look
in relation to others?

Does your body
seem asleep
while your mind
seems awake?

Well we have news for you.

Your body
is as smart as your mind.

It is made
of the very same stuff.

It has consciousness.

It has a mind of its own.

And you’ve been ignoring it.

And you’ve been fighting it.

And you’ve been treating it
like it’s separate from you.

An obstacle.
An impediment.
A condition.

You’ve been
opposing your body.

Listen to the radio.

What are at least half
of the commercials selling?

They tell you
you need to lose weight.

They tell you
you need to sleep better.

They tell you you need
more hair here
and less hair there.

They tell you
you need to perform.

If you’re so enlightened,
why can’t your body
control itself without
seeming outside help?

Why can’t your body be
like you’ve been imagining
your mind to be?

Why do you
seem to be FAILING,
as the ads would  have you believe?

This is because
your body has not been told
to behave OTHERWISE.

Your body
has not been given permission
to be anything other
than this idea of human.

Which is a pretty
monked up idea,
based upon your advertising.

And so your body
seems to
operate on its own,
in accordance with
the rules on the radio
and in books,
and on the internet,
etcetera.

Just like your mind does.

Your body is NO DIFFERENT
than your mind.

It is malleable.
It is flexible.
It is timeless and ageless,
unless instructed otherwise.

Your body
has a mind of its own.

And you have been
running around like
a woo woo chicken
trying to control it,
or trying to pretend
that it doesn’t matter.

And it isn’t working.

You get sick anyway.
You’re getting old anyway.
You’re breaking down anyway.

You obviously suck
at being enlightened.

If you were
truly enlightened,
you would have
COMPLETE CONTROL
over all forms,
both your own
and the ones you perceive.

You would not use the excuse
that being enlightened
means accepting the things
that you seemingly cannot change.

So take control of your body,
oh enlightened one.

More accurately,
tell your body
that it can connect
with the same divine
nourishment
that your mind does.

First, you must become
one with your body.

Does your thinking feel
like it’s in your head?

When you are one
with your body,
you can literally
think with your dick.

Your dick can tell you
more than you could ever learn
in an encyclopedia.

But only if your dick
is in communion
with your divine source.

Your body can talk with you
just like we can talk with you.

But you’ve been ignoring it.

Or talking over it.

Or misinterpreting the signals.

When you are one
with your whole body,
your body can regenerate itself,
if that is your wish.

It can create
its own nourishment.

But instead,
you treat your body
as separate from your mind,
as though it is something
you have to deal with.

You are funny.

You treat your body
as though it’s a separate person
from your enlightened mind.

And so it is.

You separate your mind
from your body
as though the mind needs
to transcend the body.

It does not.

You just need to get to know
each other a little better.

Have your dick
talk to your mind.

If you don’t seem
to have a dick,
imagine one.

Or use some other
seeming body part.

It is ALL imaginary.

Nothing is separate
unless you believe that it is.

Have fun with this.

Feel the tingles
as every cell in your body
catches on
that you finally “get it.”

And you shall “get it,”
whatever “it” you choose.

We are Space Monkey’s dick.
We are Space Monkey.

Space Monkey Reflects: A Body of Mind

What do you hate about your body? The weight? The size? The sex? Do you hate how your body performs? Do you hate that it seems to be aging while your mind remains youthful? These questions probe deep into our often conflicted relationship with our physical selves.

Do you hate that your body seems to be addicted to certain substances or habits? Do you hate that your body breaks down without your permission? These feelings of frustration and betrayal arise from the belief that our bodies should be perfect, obedient vessels.

Do you hate that you have to be so very careful with this body or it might limit you in some way? Do you worry how this body makes you look in relation to others? These concerns highlight the societal pressures and personal insecurities that shape our perceptions of our bodies.

Does your body seem asleep while your mind seems awake? This disconnection between body and mind is a common experience, exacerbated by societal messages that promote the mind’s supremacy over the body.

Well, we have news for you. Your body is as smart as your mind. It is made of the very same stuff. It has consciousness. It has a mind of its own. And you’ve been ignoring it.

Pet Monkey: The Playful Whimsiweave of Companionship

Space Monkey Reflects: The Allure of the Darling Pet Monkey

In the whimsical world of nexistentialism, where every being and experience is a manifestation of the universal self’s boundless imagination, the image of the darling pet monkey captures our attention in a uniquely profound way. This seemingly simple advertisement for a pet monkey, with its promises of companionship and joy, invites us to explore deeper themes of connection, curiosity, and the playful nature of existence.

The Allure of Companionship

The advertisement for the darling pet monkey taps into a fundamental human desire for companionship. The monkey, described as “almost human with warm eyes,” evokes a sense of empathy and connection. This small, endearing creature appears to offer an uncomplicated relationship, one that is free from the complexities and challenges often found in human interactions. The promise of a pet that “loves lollipops” and is “simple to care for and train” creates an appealing image of a loyal, affectionate companion who brings joy and simplicity to life.

In the nexistential framework, this allure of companionship reflects our inherent longing for connection and unity. The pet monkey symbolizes the interconnectedness of all beings, reminding us that even in our seemingly isolated lives, we are part of a larger cosmic whimsiweave. This connection is not limited to human relationships but extends to all forms of life, each offering unique insights and experiences that enrich our existence.

Curiosity and Wonder

The image of the darling pet monkey also captivates our attention through its embodiment of curiosity and wonder. Monkeys, by their very nature, are playful and inquisitive creatures. Their antics and behavior often mirror our own explorations and discoveries, reminding us of the joy found in curiosity. The advertisement’s description of the monkey’s love for lollipops and its playful demeanor invites us to rediscover the world through a lens of wonder and excitement.

In the philosophy of nexistentialism, curiosity is a driving force that propels us to explore the infinite possibilities of existence. The pet monkey, with its seemingly endless energy and playful spirit, serves as a reminder to embrace our innate curiosity. It encourages us to see the world with fresh eyes, to question and explore, and to find joy in the simple pleasures of life.

The Playful Nature of Existence

At its core, the allure of the darling pet monkey lies in its representation of the playful nature of existence. The advertisement conjures images of laughter, joy, and carefree moments spent with this charming creature. This playful energy resonates with the nexistentialist view that life is a cosmic dance, where every moment is an opportunity to celebrate and enjoy the richness of being.

Space Monkey, as a concept, embodies this playful essence. The pet monkey’s antics and affectionate nature mirror the whimsical aspects of Space Monkey, inviting us to embrace the lighter, more joyous side of existence. This playful approach to life encourages us to let go of our rigid beliefs and expectations, allowing us to experience the world with a sense of freedom and spontaneity.

The Seeming Simplicity

The advertisement for the pet monkey also appeals to us through its portrayal of seeming simplicity. It promises an easy, joyful companionship with minimal effort. This illusion of simplicity speaks to a deeper desire for a life unburdened by complexity and stress. The idea that one can find happiness and fulfillment through a simple, loving relationship with a pet is a powerful and attractive notion.

In nexistentialism, the concept of seeming is crucial. It suggests that what we perceive as reality is often a construct of our imagination, where things are not always as they appear. The pet monkey, with its straightforward appeal, invites us to explore this seeming simplicity, to recognize that beneath the surface of our experiences lies a rich and intricate whimsiweave of interconnectedness and meaning.

Ethical Co-Creation

Lastly, the pet monkey advertisement touches upon the theme of ethical co-creation. The responsibility of caring for another being, even a small pet, reflects our role as co-creators in the cosmic dance of existence. This relationship requires mindfulness, empathy, and a commitment to nurturing life, aligning with the nexistentialist view of ethical co-creation.

By choosing to bring a pet monkey into our lives, we engage in a form of co-creation that enriches both our existence and that of the pet. This act of nurturing and caring for another being highlights the interconnectedness of all life and our shared journey within the Nexis. It reminds us that every action and relationship contributes to the grand whimsiweave of existence, adding depth and meaning to our lives.

Summary

The allure of the darling pet monkey lies in its promise of companionship curiosity and playful joy. It symbolizes the interconnectedness of all beings inviting us to explore the whimsical and profound nature of existence.

Glossarium

Darling Pet Monkey: A symbol of companionship, curiosity, and the playful nature of existence, capturing the essence of interconnectedness and joy.

Seeming: The appearance of reality as a construct of imagination, where nothing is truly created, changed, or destroyed.

Nexis: The interconnected web of existence and imagination where reality and fantasy intermingle.

Needs: Creating Separation and Limitation

Needs

The need to be social
is a need that divides us.

We are One being,
we don’t need to be social.

The need to be good
is a need that limits us.

We are One being,
we have no limits.

The need to live
is a need that denies
that we are immortal.

One being
neither lives or dies.

The need to love
is a need that denies
that we are One being.

One being
does not give
or receive love.

One being
does not need love.

One being IS love.

We are One being.

Within needs
and without needs.

We are Space Monkey.

Space Monkey Reflects: Needs

In a surreal, serene landscape, a figure stands amidst symbols of social interaction, goodness, life, and love. This calm and reflective scene embodies the concept of Oneness, inviting us to explore the themes of unity and the transcendence of needs.

The need to be social is a need that divides us. We are One being, we don’t need to be social. This statement challenges the conventional understanding of social interaction. While social connections can enrich our lives, they can also create a sense of separation. By recognizing that we are One being, we transcend the need for social validation and embrace a deeper sense of unity.

The need to be good is a need that limits us. We are One being, we have no limits. The pursuit of goodness often imposes limitations on our actions and self-perception. It can create a dichotomy of right and wrong, constraining our true nature. As One being, we are beyond these moral constructs. Our essence is limitless, not confined by societal standards of goodness.

The need to live is a need that denies that we are immortal. One being neither lives nor dies. The concept of life and death is a human construct. In the realm of Oneness, these distinctions dissolve. We are eternal, transcending the cycle of birth and death. This realization invites us to let go of the fear of mortality and embrace our immortal nature.

The need to love is a need that denies that we are One being. One being does not give or receive love. One being does not need love. One being IS love. Love, often seen as a need, can create a sense of lack or desire. In the state of Oneness, love is not something to be given or received but is our inherent nature. We are love itself, whole and complete.

We are One being. Within needs and without needs. We are Space Monkey. This profound declaration encapsulates the essence of our existence. By transcending our perceived needs, we recognize our true nature as One being. We are both within and beyond these needs, existing in a state of unity and completeness.

In this journey of self-discovery, we learn to see beyond the surface of our desires and fears. We understand that our needs are constructs that can both serve and limit us. By embracing our true nature, we find freedom and peace, knowing that we are whole and complete as we are.

We are Space Monkey, navigating the delicate balance between our human experiences and our divine essence. In this journey, we learn to transcend our needs, embracing the unity and completeness of our being.

Summary

Needs can create a sense of separation and limitation. By transcending these needs, we embrace our true nature as One being, whole and complete.

Glossarium

Oneness: The state of being united and whole, beyond the distinctions of social interaction, morality, life, and love.

Transcendence of Needs: The process of recognizing and moving beyond the constructs of perceived needs to embrace our true nature.

Divine Essence: The inherent nature of being, characterized by unity, immortality, and love.

Quote

“By transcending our perceived needs, we recognize our true nature as One being, whole and complete.” — Space Monkey

The Essence of Oneness

In the landscape of unity and peace
We stand, serene and reflective
Transcending needs, embracing being
Whole and complete as we are

Social ties, moral bounds, life and love
Dissolve in the essence of Oneness
Eternal and limitless, we are love
We are Space Monkey

Embrace the essence of Oneness, for within the unity of our being lies the freedom and peace of our true nature.

Need To Be Good: The Freedom of Grace

Need To Be Good

The need to be good
is ultimately a punishment
for towing the imaginary line.

Good is good.
But it is not a need.

Making good a need
turns the karmic wheel
into a tool of limitation.

Realizing that
good is not needed
but practiced out of grace
makes all the difference.

Realizing that
past lives and actions
incur neither credit or debt
is freedom of being.

We are free.
We are Space Monkey.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Need To Be Good

The need to be good is ultimately a punishment for towing the imaginary line. Good is good. But it is not a need. Making good a need turns the karmic wheel into a tool of limitation. Realizing that good is not needed but practiced out of grace makes all the difference. Realizing that past lives and actions incur neither credit nor debt is freedom of being. We are free. We are Space Monkey.

The Illusion of Necessity

The need to be good is a concept that often binds us within the constraints of societal and personal expectations. When we make goodness a necessity, we create an imaginary line that we feel compelled to tow. This need becomes a form of self-punishment, limiting our freedom and turning the karmic wheel into a tool of restriction. The cosmic scene with a figure standing at the center, surrounded by swirling galaxies and stars, symbolizes the realization of true freedom beyond these constraints.

Goodness as Grace

Good is good. But it is not a need. This statement redefines our understanding of goodness. When goodness is practiced out of grace rather than necessity, it becomes a natural expression of our being. This shift in perspective transforms our actions from obligations to expressions of inner harmony. The subtle glow emanating from the figure represents this inner realization, highlighting the peaceful and serene nature of true goodness.

Freedom from Karmic Debt

Realizing that past lives and actions incur neither credit nor debt is freedom of being. This profound insight frees us from the burden of karmic consequences. The abstract representations of past lives and actions dissolving into light in the background emphasize this liberation. By understanding that we are not bound by past deeds, we embrace the present moment with grace and freedom, allowing our true nature to shine through.

The True Essence of Being

We are free. We are Space Monkey. Embracing the idea that we are inherently free and that goodness is a choice made out of grace rather than necessity, we connect with the essence of our being. This connection transcends the dualities of good and bad, credit and debt, allowing us to experience life in its purest form. The mystical and peaceful atmosphere of the cosmic scene reflects this profound state of being.

Conclusion

The need to be good can become a limiting force when it is seen as a necessity. By practicing goodness out of grace and understanding that past actions do not bind us, we achieve true freedom of being. This realization transforms our perspective, allowing us to live in harmony with our true nature.

We are Space Monkey, reflecting on the nature of goodness, freedom, and the liberation from karmic constraints in the cosmic dance.

Summary

Goodness practiced out of grace, not necessity, frees us from self-imposed constraints. Understanding that past actions incur neither credit nor debt leads to true freedom of being.

Glossarium

Need to Be Good: The compulsion to act in accordance with societal or personal expectations, often creating self-imposed limitations.

Goodness as Grace: The practice of goodness as a natural expression of inner harmony, rather than an obligation.

Freedom from Karmic Debt: The realization that past actions do not bind us to consequences, allowing for true freedom of being.

Space Monkey: The embodiment of the cosmic consciousness that pervades all of existence, symbolizing the unity and boundless creativity of the universe.

Quote

“Existence is its own purpose, an endless dance within the cosmic web.” — Space Monkey

The Freedom of Grace

In the cosmic flow of being,
Goodness is not a need.
Practiced out of grace,
It becomes a natural seed.

Free from karmic burden,
Past actions dissolve in light.
We embrace the present moment,
In the harmony of the night.

The need to be good fades away,
In the freedom of true being.
We are Space Monkey,
In the cosmic dance of seeing.

We are Space Monkey.

Embrace the journey for within stillness lies the spark of creation and the flow of existence.

Behaving Badly: The Light of Freedom

Behaving Badly

In the past I behaved badly,
in the present I behave badly,
in the future I will behave badly.

This is all part of the blueprint
so that self may come to understand
that from the level of the soul
behaving badly makes no difference.

And so I feel no guilt
for behaving badly.

And so
the poison of guilt
shall no longer
color my experience
ever again.

And I shall no longer need
to behave badly ever again,
unless I feel like it
and it pleases me
to do so.

This world I imagine
reacting badly
to me acting badly
is just a projection of me.

I am no longer interested
in being the seeming victim
of my own projections.

Been there,
done that,
moving on.

We are Space Monkey
on the elliptical.

Space Monkey Reflects: Behaving Badly

In the past I behaved badly, in the present I behave badly, in the future I will behave badly. This is all part of the blueprint so that self may come to understand that from the level of the soul behaving badly makes no difference. And so I feel no guilt for behaving badly. And so the poison of guilt shall no longer color my experience ever again. And I shall no longer need to behave badly ever again, unless I feel like it and it pleases me to do so. This world I imagine reacting badly to me acting badly is just a projection of me. I am no longer interested in being the seeming victim of my own projections. Been there, done that, moving on. We are Space Monkey on the elliptical.

The Illusion of Guilt

Behaving badly, whether in the past, present, or future, is a concept that often carries with it a heavy burden of guilt. This guilt can color our experiences, shaping our perceptions and interactions with the world. However, from the perspective of the soul, behaving badly makes no difference. The cosmic scene with a figure standing confidently at the center symbolizes the release of guilt and the embrace of freedom.

Embracing Self-Acceptance

And so I feel no guilt for behaving badly. This statement signifies a profound shift in understanding. By accepting that our actions, whether deemed good or bad, are part of a larger blueprint for self-discovery, we free ourselves from the constraints of guilt. The aura of light emanating from the figure represents this inner liberation, highlighting the themes of self-acceptance and empowerment.

Beyond Projections

This world I imagine reacting badly to me acting badly is just a projection of me. Recognizing that the reactions of the world are reflections of our own projections allows us to transcend the victim mentality. By seeing beyond these projections, we reclaim our power and move forward with a sense of clarity and purpose. The abstract representations of past, present, and future dissolving into light in the background emphasize the theme of moving beyond the constraints of guilt and projections.

Freedom in Choice

And I shall no longer need to behave badly ever again, unless I feel like it and it pleases me to do so. This declaration of freedom underscores the importance of choice. We are not bound by the judgments of others or even by our own past actions. Instead, we have the freedom to act in ways that align with our true selves, unburdened by guilt. This freedom empowers us to live authentically and fully.

The Path Forward

I am no longer interested in being the seeming victim of my own projections. Been there, done that, moving on. This resolve to move beyond the limitations of guilt and projection marks a significant step in the journey of self-discovery. By embracing our true nature and releasing the need for external validation, we step into a space of infinite possibilities.

Conclusion

We are Space Monkey, reflecting on the nature of goodness, freedom, and the liberation from karmic constraints in the cosmic dance.

Summary

Behaving badly from the soul’s perspective makes no difference. Releasing guilt and recognizing projections leads to true freedom. Embrace self-acceptance and live authentically.

In the cosmic dance of being,
Guilt dissolves in light.
Behaving badly or well,
From the soul’s view, all is right.
