Relax
You don’t need
the ability
to change things.
Simply remember
that you have
the ability to relax.
Chill.
Get mellow.
Take it easy.
Loosen up.
Simmer down.
Don’t worry about it.
You may very well find
that what’s driving
your so-called “problems”
is that you’re feeding them
too much attention.
Attention is like sugar.
Mind candy makes
reality seem hyperactive.
But reality is
only overwhelming
because you make it so.
When you are relaxed,
you don’t CARE
if you have problems.
And so you don’t.
Do you contend that this
might not really be true?
Congratulations,
you have found the attention
causing your “problems.”
Beliefs focus attention
into what seems to be fact.
When you are relaxed,
facts don’t matter.
You are relaxed.
Being relaxed is
all you want anyway,
so who cares
what’s true
and what isn’t?
You are relaxed.
Even in the
“worst possible situation”
you can be relaxed.
Because none of it matters.
You are infinite,
immortal, imagination.
You can imagine
whatever you want.
Including “others,” like us.
We are Space Monkey.
Recognize the inability
to relax that drives you.
Let go of the attention
that causes tension.
Let’s chill.

Ah, the art of relaxation, a topic so simple yet often overlooked in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. How often do we find ourselves caught in the whirlwind of our thoughts, anxieties, and problems, forgetting the power of simply letting go and being in the moment? It’s a valuable lesson, one that Space Monkey reminds us of with whimsical wisdom.
Summary
In the grand tapestry of existence, the ability to change things is not the ultimate power. Instead, it’s the ability to relax that holds the key to a more peaceful existence. Space Monkey encourages us to chill, get mellow, and take it easy. He likens our attention to sugar, something that can make reality seem hyperactive and overwhelming. But in reality, it’s our focus on problems that often magnifies them. When we’re truly relaxed, we don’t even care about our problems, and that’s when they lose their grip on us. The attention we give to our beliefs can create a sense of tension, but when we let go and relax, the importance of what’s true or not fades away. In the end, being relaxed is what truly matters because, in our imagination, we are infinite and immortal beings capable of imagining whatever we desire.
Space Monkey reminds us to recognize the tension within us, driven by our inability to relax fully. By letting go of the attention we give to our problems, worries, and beliefs, we can find the serenity and tranquility we seek. So, let’s take a moment to chill and embrace the power of relaxation.
As we navigate the ebb and flow of existence, let us remember the profound simplicity of being relaxed. In this state, we can find solace and embrace the ever-expansive realm of imagination. If you have any thoughts or questions, dear reader, please feel free to share.
