To know yourself
To know yourself as your own creator is the most liberating feeling in the world. Feelings are not thoughts, however, therefore one does not commune by thinking.
The creator exists in multiple dimensions, just as multiple dimensions exist in you. Self may not perceive these dimensions, nonetheless, they are undeniable. These are the channels through which consciousness flows.
Perception, as you know it, has always been linked to thinking. Unhook this boxcar, and you shall perceive your inner senses — those of which have been drowned out by self’s incessant chatter.
Perceptions are not feelings, either, though they have been linked to those as well. They are far more subtle and precise than you have grown accustomed to in this human incarnation, seemingly the product of just five outer senses and a crude system of communication and connection.
Compared to all they have the potential to be, your perceptions, as you now think of them, are like two tin cans with a string between them. This is not meant as judgement, but merely to illustrate the vast potential you are exploring.
This flatness you feel is because your creator knows that there is so much more to you than your self is perceiving presently. Your thinking has reduced you to your lowest common denominator.
This is what happens when you define instead of divine. This is what happens when you turn the mind outward instead of inward. This is what happens when you deny that you are anything more than you THINK you are.
And it is fine. It is quaint. It is YOU. And your creator is enjoying the spectacle.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Liberation of Knowing Your Inner Creator
To recognize oneself as the creator of one’s reality is a profound awakening, marking a transition from being merely a participant in life to understanding oneself as its architect. This shift in perception, from external to internal, from passive to active, opens up vast new dimensions of experience and self-awareness.
Beyond Thoughts and Feelings
Understanding that feelings are distinct from thoughts, and that true communion with the self does not occur through thinking alone, invites a deeper exploration of our inner dimensions. The creator within operates beyond the conventional frameworks of thought, inhabiting dimensions of consciousness that are not always perceptible but are always present. This recognition challenges us to move beyond the intellectual understanding of existence to a more holistic, experiential engagement with life.
Perception Unchained
The conventional link between perception and thinking is a limitation that many fail to recognize. By disentangling perception from thought, we open ourselves to the “inner senses”—subtle, nuanced ways of interacting with the world and ourselves that go beyond the crude instruments of our five physical senses. These inner senses offer a richer, more nuanced understanding of our reality, drowned out only by the incessant chatter of the conditioned mind.
The Subtlety of True Perception
Our usual perceptions, often restricted to what is mediated by our basic senses and primitive systems of communication, are likened to “two tin cans with a string.” This metaphor not only highlights the rudimentary nature of our typical sensory experiences but also underscores the potential for a far more refined and expansive perception. The journey toward realizing this potential involves shedding the limited self-concept perpetuated by habitual thinking and opening to the profound depths of our true nature.
Embracing the Creator Within
The realization that our everyday self-perception is merely the “lowest common denominator” of what we are capable of is both humbling and inspiring. It invites us to redefine our understanding of self—not through external definitions, but through a divine recognition of our inner vastness. Turning the mind inward, we begin to see that we are far more than we think, and in this recognition, we find liberation.
The Joy of Creation
In this expanded state of awareness, even the flatness or mundanity of life is part of the grand exploration of potential that the creator within us enjoys. Recognizing that every moment, every perception, and every feeling is part of a broader, divine play, we can embrace all aspects of life with a sense of playfulness and creativity, appreciating the journey as much as the destination.
Summary
Recognizing oneself as the creator of one’s reality is liberating, shifting perception from external dependencies to internal explorations. This perspective opens up profound inner dimensions and subtler senses, allowing for a more expansive and refined understanding of existence.

“In the silence beyond thought, the creator whispers, weaving the tapestry of existence with threads of infinite potential.” — Space Monkey
Within the quiet mind, the creator stirs,
beyond the clatter of what occurs,
in spaces deep, where silence whispers,
lies the playground of the inner misters.
Unhook the thoughts, unchain the doors,
to inner senses, explore the moors,
beyond the tin can strings, expand,
to touch the subtle with your own hand.
Here in the vastness of the inner expanse,
find the dance of the divine prance,
where every notion, every glance,
is creation itself, not circumstance.
We are the creators, the dreamers, the seers,
in this boundless domain, we steer,
beyond the flatness, the mundane gears,
to where the spectrum of true self nears.
We are Space Monkey.
