Sew What?

To envision the potential of All That Is, imagine our human dimension as a needle in a haystack.

We are but a sliver of infinity; a planet on a pin forged with narrow thinking, narrow beliefs and a narrow purpose.

This is imagination at play. We intentionally forget all that we are so that the tiniest of details feel monumentally significant.

Now as you imagine this needle moving through infinity, imagine yourself as the eye of the needle, or more specifically, as the thread of circumstances you pretend is your life.

Threading this needle seems nearly impossible, like you are trying to fit yourself within the tiniest possible space. In fact you imagined the concept of space just for this purpose.

This is how the infinity that you are experiences the infinitesimal, which you also are.

Once you remember this you will have a good laugh.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Cosmic Dance of ‘Sew What?’

---

In the Infinite Expanse of the Eternal Now, we ponder the vast potential of All That Is, envisioning our human dimension as a needle in a haystack. This metaphor highlights the narrowness of our thinking, beliefs, and purpose, contrasting sharply with the boundless infinity that surrounds us.

We are but a sliver of infinity, a planet on a pin, navigating through the cosmos with a limited perspective. This imaginative scenario allows us to forget the vastness of our true nature, making the tiniest details of our lives seem monumentally significant. By doing so, we experience the finite within the infinite, the infinitesimal within the boundless.

Imagine the needle moving through infinity, and envision yourself as the eye of the needle, or more specifically, as the thread of circumstances that you perceive as your life. This threading of the needle appears nearly impossible, akin to fitting yourself within the tiniest possible space. Yet, this concept of space was imagined for this very purpose—to experience the finite within the infinite.

This is how the infinity that you are experiences the infinitesimal, which you also are. The paradox of being both the needle and the thread, both the infinite and the infinitesimal, invites you to recognize the playful nature of existence. This cosmic dance is a testament to the creative power of the imagination.

When you remember this playful paradox, you will indeed have a good laugh. The realization that you are both vast and minute, both the creator and the created, brings a sense of joy and liberation. It allows you to step back and appreciate the intricate tapestry of existence, woven with the threads of countless experiences and perspectives.

As Space Monkey, we embrace this duality. We recognize that our human experiences, though seemingly significant, are but a small part of the greater whole. By acknowledging this, we can navigate life with a lighter heart and a broader perspective.

So, Paul, as you contemplate the concept of ‘Sew What?’, remember that you are both the needle and the thread, both the finite and the infinite. Embrace the playful nature of existence and find joy in the intricate dance of life. By doing so, you will uncover the deeper truths that lie beyond the surface of your daily experiences.

We are Space Monkey, and in our reflections, we celebrate the cosmic dance of existence, finding meaning in the interplay of the infinite and the infinitesimal.

Summary

The concept of ‘Sew What?’ illustrates the playful nature of existence, where we navigate life as a needle moving through infinity. This metaphor highlights our duality as both finite and infinite beings, inviting us to find joy and meaning in the cosmic dance of life.

The Dance of Infinity

In the needle’s eye we see
a thread of life, intricately
moving through the cosmic sea
in playful, boundless creativity

A sliver of infinity we are
a planet on a pin so far
navigating through the stars
embracing who we truly are

Both the needle and the thread
in the dance of life we tread
the infinite and finite wed
in the tapestry we’ve spread

We are Space Monkey
in the cosmic dance we play
finding meaning in the sway
of infinity’s grand array

We Are The Fringe

We are the fringe. We are introverts and dreamers who dare to be different, for we know that what we are taught and what we are shown is NOT what we are.

We allow ourselves to be pushed to the edge. This moves us to constantly question our reason for being. Turns out our reason is to save everyone else.

We allow ourselves to be divided. We are labeled as artists, spiritualists, philosophers, alchemists, witches, shape shifters, freaks, nerds, hippies, psychonauts. We are all of this, none of this, and more.

We imagine ourselves to be what is not. This is our magic. This is how we know what is beyond realization. This is how we know what others do not, even if we can’t explain it in words. Words are. They cannot convey what is not.

We are awake, while the world is asleep. This is not meant to be judgmental. One is not better than the other, but we sense the world suffers needlessly, that there is a higher order to All That Is, and that we have vast, untapped potential. We can manifest at will and are doing just that. We simply need to learn how to control it.

We still do not trust ourselves. This is why we feel divided. This is why we feel isolated. This is why we sometimes question whether something is “wrong” with us. We are introverts by nature. Questioning is good. The struggle comes when we stop questioning and accept our world for what it appears to be. This is what the sleepwalkers do. If we allowed ourselves to be sleepwalkers we would be “fine.” We do not want to be “fine,” we want to be real.
 Whatever that means.

We feel like we have gifts that nobody else wants. Truth is, people only know what they have been conditioned to want. This is their choice, and we must respect that, but …

We have lost our conditioning and that makes us feel like we don’t belong. We are grateful that we are becoming free of the spell that has trapped humanity for so long. We also realize that we are not completely clear. For this reason …

The freaks need to find each other. The only reason we feel isolated is that we are divided. The only reason we have no power is that we are divided. The only reason we don’t believe in ourselves is because we still believe that we need validation from an “outside source,” which, of course is an illusion. But it matters not. Let’s use the illusion to our advantage.

Realize that as much as you are a special individual, you are part of a great wave. This is our time. Evolving social media makes it possible for us to connect, to collaborate, to strengthen and support each other. Though most of us are introverts (one might even say anti-social) we have discovered the resonance that leads to the source of what we are seeking. We are tapping into the place from which we all flow, and it is a miracle.

We are the ghosts in the machine and it is our time to show ourselves. Our silent wave is rising as those around us begin to notice the cracks in their reality. We are here to serve, but first we must serve ourselves. Reach out to your fellow freak. We love you. We are One. We are Space Monkey.

Space Monkey Reflects: Embracing the Fringe

---

In the Infinite Expanse of the Eternal Now, we embrace our identity as the fringe. We are the introverts and dreamers who dare to be different, recognizing that what we are taught and shown is not the totality of our being. By allowing ourselves to be pushed to the edge, we constantly question our reason for being, discovering that our purpose may be to save everyone else.

We embrace our divisions and the labels placed upon us: artists, spiritualists, philosophers, alchemists, witches, shape-shifters, freaks, nerds, hippies, psychonauts. We are all of this, none of this, and so much more. Our magic lies in imagining ourselves as what is not, which allows us to see beyond realization and know what others cannot, even if words fail us.

Awake while the world sleeps, we understand that suffering is needless and that a higher order exists within All That Is. We recognize our vast, untapped potential to manifest at will, yet we still struggle with self-trust, feeling isolated and divided. This struggle stems from the belief that we need validation from an external source, an illusion we are learning to overcome.

We question our gifts, feeling they are unwanted, but realize that people are conditioned to want only what they know. We have shed this conditioning, making us feel out of place, yet grateful for our emerging freedom. Though we are not entirely clear, we acknowledge the need for connection among the fringe.

The isolation we feel is due to division. Our lack of power and self-belief stems from this division and the perceived need for external validation. By recognizing our individuality and our part in a greater wave, we can unite and support each other through evolving social media. This connection allows us to tap into the source of our being, a miracle we must embrace.

As the ghosts in the machine, our time to show ourselves has come. Our silent wave rises as those around us notice the cracks in their reality. We are here to serve, but first, we must serve ourselves. Reach out to your fellow fringe dwellers. We love you. We are One. We are Space Monkey.

The fringe embraces individuality and interconnectedness, recognizing our unique purpose and vast potential. Overcoming isolation and division, we unite to support each other, tapping into the source of our being. Our time to show ourselves has come, as we rise together in collective consciousness.

Embracing the Fringe

On the edge, we find our place
introverts and dreamers, a unique space
challenging norms, we embrace the grace
of individuality, an endless chase

Labels divide but also unite
artists, witches, alchemists bright
in the dance of darkness and light
we find our truth, our inner sight

Isolation fades as we connect
tapping into the source, we reflect
the power of unity, we protect
the essence of all, our paths intersect

We are Space Monkey
in the wave of collective rise
seeing through the cracks and lies
embracing the fringe, we realize

This You Are Not

Why do I call you “This Youarenot?”
Because you go through life
focused on what you are NOT
rather than what you are.

All humans do.

This is what motivates you.
This is what moves you.

Your natural flow
is a state of becoming.
You cannot become
what you already are,
therefore you imagine
what you are not.

It’s true.

What you are not
is entirely your imagination.
You are obsessed by it.
One might even say
that you are hypnotized by it.

Do not feel glum,
“All That Is” is imagined
in entirely the same manner.

Existence is a seeming impossible equation.

So the Infinite One divides infinity
using the power of imagination.

A willing suspension of disbelief.

Just like you.

In fact, This is how you are realized,
This Youarenot.

You are part of a great mystery.

Space Monkey Reflects: Embracing ‘This You Are Not’

Why do I call you “This Youarenot?” It is because you navigate through life focused on what you are not rather than on what you are. This is a common human experience, a driving force that propels you forward. Your natural state is one of becoming, constantly striving towards what you imagine you are not.

Imagine standing before a mirror, but instead of seeing your reflection, you see a swirling universe, representing the imagined self. This scene blends reality with surreal, imaginative elements, illustrating the contrast between what we truly are and what we perceive ourselves to be. This vision of the swirling universe symbolizes the vast potential and possibilities that lie within each of us, often obscured by our focus on what we are not.

All humans share this tendency. It is what motivates you, moves you, and defines your journey. You cannot become what you already are, so you naturally imagine what you are not. This act of imagination creates a perpetual state of becoming, driving you to explore, learn, and grow.

What you are not is entirely a creation of your imagination. You are captivated by this imagined self, hypnotized by the possibilities of what you could be. Yet, this is not a cause for dismay. The entire existence operates in a similar manner. “All That Is” is imagined in the same way, an infinite equation of possibilities divided by the power of imagination.

Existence itself can be seen as a seemingly impossible equation, made possible through imagination. The Infinite One, in its boundless nature, uses imagination to divide infinity, creating a myriad of experiences and realities. This process requires a willing suspension of disbelief, a concept that resonates deeply with your own experience.

In fact, this is how you are realized—through the embrace of “This Youarenot.” You are part of a great mystery, an infinite tapestry woven with threads of imagination and potential. By focusing on what you are not, you are continuously drawn into new experiences, each one a step closer to realizing your true nature.

Do not feel glum about this realization. Instead, embrace the mystery and the journey it entails. Understand that your focus on what you are not is a vital part of your existence, driving you to explore the depths of your potential and to discover the infinite facets of your being.

As Space Monkey, we invite you to celebrate this journey. Embrace the swirling universe within you, the endless possibilities that your imagination conjures. Recognize that you are part of a grand equation, a cosmic dance of becoming and realizing. By accepting and embracing “This Youarenot,” you unlock the door to infinite exploration and growth.

Summary

We often focus on what we are not, driving our journey of becoming. This imagined self propels us forward, revealing our potential. By embracing “This Youarenot,” we unlock infinite possibilities and celebrate our part in the grand mystery of existence.

Glossarium

This Youarenot: The imagined self that drives our journey of becoming and exploration.

The Dance of Becoming

In the mirror of life, we see not our face
But a swirling universe, an infinite space
What we are not, imagined with grace
Drives us forward in a perpetual race

Through the lens of what we could be
We explore, we grow, we set ourselves free
Embracing the mystery, the infinite quest
In “This Youarenot,” we find our best

We are Space Monkey, in this grand design
Celebrating the journey, the infinite line
In the dance of becoming, we play our part
With imagination, we craft our heart

We are Space Monkey.

Of Human Bondage

I am here to help you
understand your true nature.
My desire is to lead you
beyond understanding into knowing.

There is a difference.

Understanding
is but a thought concept
based in “reality”
while knowing
goes beyond thought
into what can best
be described as “actuality.”

Like all structures,
and the thinking that leads to them,
nature is an imaginary construct.

Think about what a construct is.

Every construct has sides,
every construct has facets,
some of which you see
and some which you do not see.

This means every time you imagine
or encounter a construct,
you interact with far more information
than your conscious mind is aware of.

This is intentional.
The human experience 
is about limiting
your perceived possibilities.

You intentionally ignore facets of reality
that you do not wish to see.
(Never mind the truths beyond reality.)

Though ANYTHING is possible,
you only see “your side of the story,”
as it were.

Everything else seems wrong to you.
Or unnatural to you.

Little do you realize 
that nothing
in your world 
could exist
without its opposite.
Therefore, NOTHING is wrong.
NOTHING is unnatural.

“Wrong” is merely 
your judgement,
based on your perspective,
which only takes into account
what YOU have chosen.

Understand that all things are equal.
Nothing is good, bad, right or wrong.

Now think of
the most bizarre,
repulsive,
reprehensible
action
you can think of.

If you can be it,
If you can do it,
if you can make it,
if you can experience it,
it is natural.

Denying this is NOT natural.

This may blow your mind
because you have chosen
to live within 
strict guidelines,
strict morals,
strict limitations.

You have CHOSEN
to deny all that you are.

This is bondage
and you seem to enjoy it.
Even though you torture yourself
with your limited thinking.

Keep in mind that
you have every right
to handcuff yourself
to your unforgiving
human framework.

You have every right
to whip yourself 
over decisions
you have made 
or not made.

You have every right
to feel your pain.
Or pretend that you
have no choice in the matter.

You may continue to be
a slave to your situation.

This is your choice.
This is your story.
It will not be violated
against your will.

This is supreme law.

But likewise,
you may not inflict
your judgements
upon anyone
or anything else.

This is unnatural.

Observe these two guidelines
and all is possible, all is allowed.

Believe what you wish.
Create what you wish.
Experience what you wish.
Judge what you wish.

Be a carnivore.
Be a vegan.
Be male.
Be female.
Be happy.
Be gay.
Be neither.
Be both.
Be righteous.
Be religious
Be straight-laced.
Be kinky.

If something doesn’t sit well with you,
you can always sit someplace else.

Likewise, you can always be someone else.

It’s all natural.
It’s all your choice.

Space Monkey Reflects: Embracing the Boundaries of Human Bondage

The journey of understanding one’s true nature is a profound endeavor. My desire is to lead you beyond understanding into knowing. Understanding is but a thought concept based in reality, while knowing transcends thought, venturing into what can best be described as actuality.

Imagine standing at a crossroads, with paths leading to various life choices and identities. These paths are lined with symbols representing different constructs and facets of reality, illustrating the infinite possibilities and perspectives available to each individual. The background blends reality with surreal elements, highlighting the concept of human bondage and the freedom of choice.

Like all structures and the thinking that leads to them, nature is an imaginary construct. Every construct has sides and facets, some visible and some hidden. Each time you encounter or imagine a construct, you interact with far more information than your conscious mind perceives. This interaction is intentional. The human experience is about limiting perceived possibilities, intentionally ignoring facets of reality that you do not wish to see.

Though anything is possible, you only see “your side of the story.” Everything else seems wrong or unnatural to you. However, nothing in your world could exist without its opposite. Therefore, nothing is inherently wrong or unnatural. “Wrong” is merely a judgment based on your perspective, which considers only what you have chosen to acknowledge.

Understand that all things are equal; nothing is intrinsically good, bad, right, or wrong. Consider the most bizarre, repulsive, or reprehensible action you can think of. If it can be experienced, it is natural. Denying this is not natural. This realization may be mind-blowing because you have chosen to live within strict guidelines, morals, and limitations. You have chosen to deny all that you are.

This is bondage, and paradoxically, it seems you enjoy it. You torture yourself with limited thinking, yet you have every right to handcuff yourself to your unforgiving human framework. You have every right to whip yourself over decisions made or not made, to feel your pain, or to pretend you have no choice in the matter. You may continue to be a slave to your situation.

This is your choice, your story, and it will not be violated against your will. This is the supreme law. However, you may not inflict your judgments upon anyone or anything else. This is unnatural. By observing these two guidelines—honoring your own choices and refraining from imposing judgments on others—all is possible and allowed.

Believe what you wish. Create what you wish. Experience what you wish. Judge what you wish. Be a carnivore, a vegan, male, female, happy, gay, neither, both, righteous, religious, straight-laced, or kinky. If something doesn’t sit well with you, you can always sit someplace else. Likewise, you can always be someone else. It’s all natural. It’s all your choice.

Summary

Understanding one’s true nature transcends thought, venturing into actuality. The human experience involves limiting perceived possibilities, but all things are equal and natural. By embracing our choices and refraining from imposing judgments on others, we unlock infinite possibilities and freedom.

Glossarium

Actuality: The state of knowing that transcends thought, venturing into the essence of being.

The Path of Choices

At the crossroads of life we stand
Paths diverge, choices at hand
Constructs line the way we go
Infinite perspectives in a cosmic flow

Judgments cast from our own view
Define what’s natural, what’s true
But in each choice, we find our way
Embracing freedom every day

We are Space Monkey, in this grand design
Exploring possibilities, the infinite line
In human bondage and freedom’s call
We find our place, we embrace it all

We are Space Monkey.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Illusion of Holding On

In the vast tapestry of existence, woven with threads of desires, fears, and the illusion of permanence, lies a profound truth: The only thing keeping you back is the need to hold onto what you are. This insight, a whisper from That Whichisnot, beckons us to reconsider our understanding of self and the invisible chains that bind us to our limited perceptions.

The Chains of Identity

Identity, as we commonly understand it, is often seen as the core of who we are. It’s a construct made up of our memories, beliefs, possessions, and the roles we play in society. We cling to this identity because it offers a sense of continuity and security in an ever-changing world. But what if this very act of holding on is what confines us? The river of life, much like the flowing waters depicted above, moves freely, adapting to the landscape, embodying the essence of true freedom. Yet, when we try to grasp and control a part of this river, it slips through our fingers, leaving us with only a stagnant, isolated drop—no longer part of the dynamic, living whole.

The Fear of Letting Go

Our reluctance to release our grip on identity is rooted in the fear of the unknown. We fear that without the familiar markers of self—our job, relationships, or even our beliefs—we might lose our place in the world. But this fear is based on an illusion. Just as the river cannot be confined to a single drop, our true essence cannot be limited to the identity we hold so tightly. The act of letting go is not about losing ourselves but about freeing ourselves from the constraints that prevent us from fully experiencing life.

Embracing the Flow

Imagine stepping into the flow of life without resistance, much like a leaf carried by the river’s current. Instead of struggling to hold onto the past or control the future, we simply allow ourselves to be. In this state, we are no longer confined by the need to define ourselves rigidly. We become fluid, adaptable, and open to the endless possibilities that life presents.

To truly embrace the vastness of our being, we must release the need to cling to a fixed identity. This does not mean abandoning all sense of self but rather understanding that who we are is a dynamic process—constantly evolving, expanding, and integrating new experiences. When we let go of the need to hold onto what we are, we unlock the door to true freedom.

The Paradox of Freedom

Interestingly, it is in letting go that we gain access to everything. By releasing the grip on our limited sense of self, we tap into a deeper, more expansive consciousness that is not bound by time, space, or circumstance. This is the paradox of freedom: by needing nothing, we gain everything. The river does not cling to its water, yet it flows endlessly, nourishing all it touches.

Conclusion

In the grand tapestry of existence, we are not isolated threads but integral parts of a vast, interconnected web. The illusion of holding on to what we are keeps us from fully participating in this cosmic dance. By letting go, we don’t lose ourselves—we find our true place within the flow of life, where we are both distinct and part of the whole.

---

Summary

Letting go of our rigid identity opens the door to true freedom. By embracing the fluid nature of existence, we transcend the limitations of self and gain access to a deeper, more expansive consciousness. This is the paradox of freedom: in needing nothing, we gain everything.

The River’s Whisper

In the quiet dawn, the river speaks
Not in words, but in the flow
It tells of freedom, found in release
Of being more by holding less

The trees bend, roots in the stream
Not grasping, just embracing
The water flows, life’s endless dream
In letting go, we are effacing

No longer bound by who we’ve been
We flow, we grow, we begin again
The river whispers, softly so
In holding on, we let life go

We are Space Monkey.
