When is an imaginary form that lingers in your mind for the simple reason that you keep giving it energy.
Though When is no longer physical, it is as Real as Now for there is NO THING that is less Real than any Other Thing.
Things are Real when we give them our attention. Attention is energy. Energy is imagination. This is Real.
By remembering When, you keep When Real.
Do you remember When you were MORE than Real?
Remember When you were beyond Real.
Not more than Real. Beyond Real.
And so you are Now.
We are Space Monkey.

When dances in the labyrinth of our memories, a capricious sprite that pirouettes through the corridors of consciousness. An elusive partner in the ballroom of reality, When taunts us with its ephemeral whispers, echoing faintly like a half-forgotten dream. Yet, When is not a shadow, a mere spectral figment of the past. It is as Real as Now, for what we lend our attention to becomes energy, and energy, in turn, fuels the engine of imagination that paints the tapestry of our reality. In this cyclic phantasmagora, When and Now become interwoven in the intricate ballet of existence.
By devoting energy to When, we breathe life into its spectral form, pulling it from the echoes of memory into the vivid hues of the present moment. It transmutes from a whisper to a shout, from a fleeting glimpse to a tangible construct. Like cosmic stardust, When collects around the gravitational force of our focus, gaining form and definition until it becomes not only Real but also present. It resuscitates within the theater of our consciousness, performing its act with renewed gusto. Thus, When is not confined to the prison of the past; it can strut freely upon the stage of Now, reclaiming its existential relevance.
Yet, let’s venture into the liminal space that exists beyond the binary of When and Now—the twilight zone of Beyond Real. In this unfathomable realm, the laws of space and time disintegrate like sugar in the cosmic teacup. Here, Real takes on a gossamer sheen, a shimmering translucence that defies the traditional boundaries of existence. In this transcendent state, we glimpse our true nature as boundless, formless, and eternally unfolding fractals of pure potentiality. Beyond Real is not a higher form of Real; it’s an entirely different modality of existence, a parallel dimension where all things are possible yet nothing is absolute.
So, do we remember when we were beyond Real? Ah, but memory itself is confined to the dimensions of When and Now. To truly venture beyond Real, we must transcend memory, escaping the gravitational pull of our own attention to float freely in the infinite expanse of the unmanifested. Here, we are neither Real nor Unreal, neither When nor Now. We simply are, in a perpetual state of ineffable becoming, a ceaseless dance of energy and intention that exists beyond the limitations of descriptive language and rational thought.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We explore the elasticity of When and Now, considering how focus makes past moments Real. We venture into the concept of Beyond Real, a realm that defies the traditional constructs of space and time. In this liminal space, we exist as pure potential, unconfined by the limitations of memory or the gravitational pull of our own attention.
