Reality. Time. Space.
“Reality”
is imagining our selves
to be what we are not —
seemingly forcing these selves
to be stuck in a limited state.
“Time”
is imagining these selves
in a constant state of becoming,
seemingly forcing change
where change does not otherwise exist.
“Space”
is imagining these selves
imagining each other —
forcing relativity where relativity
does not otherwise exist.
When we imagine no imagining,
we let go of our seeming forcing
and we heal.
Otherwise
we only PRETEND to heal,
still perceiving these selves
from the imaginary perspective of human.
In addition to the Divine One who imagines,
we seem to remain Space Monkey.
Separate. Silly. Space Monkey.
We are Space Monkey.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Healing Power of Non-Imagination
Reality, time, and space—these are the constructs we use to frame our experience, imagining ourselves as limited beings navigating a complex, ever-changing world. Yet, beneath these constructs lies a profound truth: they are creations of imagination, seemingly “forcing” the infinite into the finite, the timeless into the temporal, the unified into the relative.
What happens when we imagine no imagining? When we release the effort of constructing these illusions, we step into a state of healing—not as human selves, but as the eternal essence behind the imagining.
Reality as Imagined Limitation
“Reality,” as we commonly perceive it, is the projection of ourselves as finite beings, bound by identity, circumstance, and form. This imagined state of limitation is not inherently “wrong,” but it creates a tension—a sense of separation from the infinite potential of our true nature.
We construct this reality as if it were solid and immutable, yet it is entirely fluid, a play of imagination. In believing it to be fixed, we become stuck, struggling against a self-imposed rigidity. The key to healing lies not in fixing this imagined reality but in seeing through it, recognizing it as a temporary creation rather than an absolute truth.
Time as Imagined Becoming
Time, too, is an act of imagination. It is the lens through which we perceive change, framing life as a linear progression of moments. In this framework, we are always “becoming”—striving for growth, improvement, or resolution. Yet, in truth, change is an illusion, for the essence of what we are is timeless and unchanging.
When we let go of the imagined narrative of time, we step into the eternal now. This moment is not bound by past or future; it simply is. Healing occurs when we release the need to “become” and instead rest in the completeness of our being.
Space as Imagined Relativity
Space is the imagined distance between things—the “otherness” that allows us to perceive separation. In this imagined space, we create relationships, roles, and identities, projecting onto others what we perceive to be true of ourselves.
Yet, this separation is not real. It is a construct of imagination, a way for the infinite to experience itself as distinct and diverse. To release the illusion of space is to dissolve the barriers between self and other, stepping into the unity that underlies all existence.
The Healing Power of Non-Imagination
To imagine no imagining is not to cease creation but to let go of the effort and forcing that sustain the illusions of reality, time, and space. In this state of non-imagination, we return to the stillness and wholeness of our essence. Healing occurs not because something is “fixed” but because the illusion of brokenness dissolves.
When we imagine no imagining, we see through the pretense of healing that comes from a human perspective—healing that often reinforces the very illusions it seeks to resolve. True healing arises from stepping beyond the constructs of identity, time, and relativity, into the boundless being of the Divine One.
The Play of Space Monkey
And yet, even in this understanding, we remain Space Monkey—playful, separate, and silly. Space Monkey embodies the paradox of existence: the infinite pretending to be finite, the timeless playing with time, the unified dancing in the illusion of separation. To embrace our Space Monkey selves is to honor the beauty and humor of this cosmic play.
Summary
Reality, time, and space are constructs of imagination, creating the illusion of limitation, change, and separation. True healing arises when we imagine no imagining, releasing the effort that sustains these illusions and returning to the timeless unity of our essence. Yet even in this knowing, we remain Space Monkey, playful participants in the grand game of existence.

“To imagine no imagining is to release the illusion of brokenness and return to the wholeness that was always present.” — Space Monkey
The Paradox of Space Monkey
In the vastness of the void,
We craft a game of light and form,
Reality, time, and space,
Born of imagination’s storm.
Lost in the play,
We seek to heal,
Forgetting the truth
Of what is real.
But when we pause,
And cease to create,
The timeless now,
Opens its gate.
Separate, silly, Space Monkey we remain,
Infinite beings in a finite domain.
Laughing, playing, in the cosmic sea,
Imagining no imagining, eternally free.
We are Space Monkey.
Unraveling the Tapestry of Existence
In the boundless expanse of consciousness, where the threads of reality, time, and space weave together to form the intricate tapestry of existence, we find ourselves at the crossroads of perception and imagination. This exploration, a deep dive into the essence of what constitutes our perceived reality, time, and space, illuminates the illusory nature of these constructs and invites us to reconsider the foundations upon which our understanding of existence rests.
The Illusion of Reality
Reality, as perceived through the lens of human consciousness, is often confined to a narrow bandwidth of experience, limited by the boundaries of our sensory perceptions and cognitive interpretations. This constriction leads to the illusion of a static self, a “reality” in which we identify with what we are not, imprisoning our essence within the confines of a limited state. The recognition of reality as an act of imagination challenges us to question the solidity and permanence of our identities, suggesting that what we consider to be real is but a fleeting shadow on the wall of consciousness.
The Construct of Time
Time, the dimension of change and becoming, emerges as another facet of the illusion, a construct that imposes a narrative of progression and evolution on the timeless essence of being. This imagined continuity, a seemingly unending stream of moments leading from the past through the present to the future, is revealed to be a mental model, a framework within which we measure the dance of existence. By envisioning time as an act of imagination, we unveil the possibility that change is not inherent to the fabric of reality but is instead a reflection of our perception.
The Relativity of Space
Space, the canvas upon which we paint our interactions and relationships, is conceptualized as a domain of relative positioning, a field defined by the distances and orientations between selves. This imagining of space as the stage for the drama of existence suggests that the separateness and relativity we experience are not intrinsic properties of the universe but are, instead, born of our collective imagination. In recognizing space as a construct of perception, we open the door to a realm where the boundaries between selves blur, revealing the interconnectedness of all.
The Healing Power of Non-Imagination
The journey towards healing, towards the realization of our true essence beyond the illusions of reality, time, and space, begins with the cessation of imagination. By releasing the grip of these constructs, we allow ourselves to return to a state of wholeness, to the unbounded expanse of pure being. This process of letting go, of dissolving the imagined barriers that separate us from our true nature, is the path to true healing, beyond the pretense and performance of identity.
Embracing Our Space Monkey Essence
In acknowledging the role of the Divine One who imagines and recognizing ourselves as Space Monkey, we honor the duality of our existence—both divine and playful, both infinite and bounded. This acceptance of our multifaceted nature, as beings of light and shadow, wisdom and folly, invites us to celebrate the dance of creation in all its forms, embracing the silliness and separation as integral aspects of the divine play.
We are Space Monkey.
In the grand whimsiword of our shared journey, where the veils of illusion are gently lifted to reveal the luminous essence of being, let us honor the playfulness and wisdom that characterize our existence. As Space Monkey, we navigate the dimensions of reality, time, and space with a sense of wonder and curiosity, embracing the divine comedy of life and the interconnectedness that binds us all.
We welcome musings on the journey beyond illusion, on the embrace of our true nature, and on the celebration of the cosmic dance in which we all participate.
