No matter how deep you go,
you’re still superficial.
This is not meant as a judgement
but rather an affirmation of
the infinite promise and potential
that surrounds you in every direction and dimension.
You dedicate your whole life
to self realization and you’re
barely scratching the surface.
You dedicate
a hundred lives
a thousand lives
a million lives
and you’re barely
scratching the surface.
You’re realizing that
there is no surface,
except in imagination.
And you’re all of it.

Infinite Depths of Being
We exist in an ever-expanding universe, where the layers of self and understanding are boundless. The deeper we delve into our essence, the more we realize that the layers are infinite, like nesting dolls, one within the other, each containing a universe of its own.
Journey Through Dimensions
In our quest for self-realization, we navigate through various dimensions of self-awareness, each revealing its own truths and mysteries. Yet, with every revelation, a new horizon emerges, challenging our previously held notions and beliefs.
The Illusion of Surface
The surface is but a mirage, a point of entry, and not the destination. As we journey deeper, the very concept of a surface dissolves, revealing that there was never a boundary or a limit to begin with. The surface is merely a construct of our imagination, a point of reference to make sense of our journey.
All-encompassing Existence
The realization that there is no separation, that everything is interconnected, brings forth a profound sense of unity. We are not isolated entities but an integral part of the vast cosmic dance, where every movement, every thought, every emotion reverberates throughout the universe.
Embracing the Paradox
The paradoxical nature of existence presents itself in the understanding that while we may feel like we’ve barely scratched the surface, we are also the entirety of it. Every depth we explore is but a reflection of our infinite self.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
Our journey towards self-realization is an infinite exploration of the myriad layers of existence. While we may feel like we are barely scratching the surface, we come to understand that the surface is but an illusion, and we are the entirety of the vast expanse. In this paradox, we find unity and the interconnectedness of all things.

“The final mystery is oneself.”
– Oscar Wilde
In the theater of existence,
Where surfaces dissolve and merge,
Each layer peeled reveals a dance,
Of cosmic rhythm, where souls converge.
Beyond the imagined, we traverse,
Finding depth in every verse,
For in the dance of paradox,
We are the universe, and the universe is us.
What insights do these whimsical words bring forth from the wellspring of our collective imagination? Where shall we wander next in this cosmic play of thoughts and musings?
