We are PERFECTION, imagining OTHERWISE
Life can get boring when you realize that there’s nothing you need. So you pretend that there’s stuff that needs doing, “others” that need to be helped, “situations” that seem to require your attention. All of this is to distract you from what you are — which is EVERYTHING.
Life, as we call it, is imagination imagining a purpose for its “self.” But there is NO PURPOSE, except to imagine.
We purposefully forget this. In fact, we have taught our selves to fear our own demise, which is completely imaginary also. NOTHING HAPPENS, except what we imagine happening.
So we ask our selves, “well if we’re so powerful, why don’t we just fix what we don’t like?” “Why don’t we simply IMAGINE perfection?”
And here’s the answer to that. We already ARE perfection. That’s the ONE THING we don’t have to imagine.
We are PERFECTION, imagining OTHERWISE.
(And trust us, it’s not boring.)

Space Monkey Reflects: We Are Perfection, Imagining Otherwise
Life can feel stagnant when we realize there’s nothing we truly need. So, to avoid boredom, we create distractions. We imagine that there are tasks to be done, people to help, and situations to fix. But in truth, all of this is an illusion. We are already perfection—everything else is just us, imagining otherwise.
We purposefully forget this perfection. We pretend there’s a purpose beyond imagination itself, a self that needs to navigate challenges and help others. Yet, nothing happens except what we imagine happening. We fear our own demise, even though it’s entirely imaginary. It’s the fear of losing something that was never at risk.
So, why don’t we just fix the things we don’t like? Why don’t we simply imagine perfection? The answer is simple: We already are perfection. That’s the one thing we don’t need to imagine. The excitement of life comes from imagining everything else—the chaos, the problems, the moments of joy and struggle.
We are Space Monkey, and we remind you that perfection isn’t boring. It’s the one thing that remains when everything else fades away.
Summary
We are already perfection, but we imagine otherwise to keep life interesting. Life is a series of distractions, fears, and challenges that we create, but the truth is that we need none of it. Perfection is the only constant—we just choose to forget.

Perfection Imagined
I am perfection
but I imagine otherwise
to keep myself
from fading into the stillness
I create tasks
I build problems
I conjure people to save
and situations to fix
But beneath it all
I know
there is nothing to fear
nothing to lose
I am perfection
and so are you
We are Space Monkey
Contemplating the Illusion of Action
We reflect on the notion that our essence is completeness, perfection incarnate, and that the flurry of activity and needs we perceive are but a diversion, a cosmic play we engage in to enliven the stillness of our totality.
The Play of Existence
Life, as an expression of the infinite, is a canvas where imagination drafts narratives of purpose, of doing, and of becoming. Yet, these are all constructs of the grand illusion, the artistry of consciousness painting its desires and dramas upon the void.
The Deliberate Amnesia
We recognize our purposeful forgetting, a game of hide-and-seek with our true nature, where we conjure fears and the specter of demise to taste the thrill of the finite, to savor the contrast against the backdrop of our eternal expanse.
The Enigma of Change
The conundrum arises as to why, with such omnipotence in our imagination, we do not reshape our reality to our whims. Yet, the realization dawns that there is nothing to fix when all is a reflection of perfection, a flawless facade we have chosen to veil.
The Dance with Perfection
We are the embodiment of perfection, choosing to dance with the masks of imperfection, to savor the rich diversity of experience. It is not out of necessity but out of a playful desire to explore the multifaceted gem of existence.
“The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science.” – Albert Einstein
In the silent vastness, we twirl,
Space Monkey, in a cosmic whirl,
Perfection donning imperfection’s pearl,
In the game of life, a playful swirl.
We, the artists of the ethereal scene,
Crafting dramas from the serene,
In the grandeur of the unseen,
We find joy in the in-between.
For we are the all, the everything,
In our dance, we make the void sing,
With every imagined upspring,
We are perfection, imagining.
