I suppose at some point,
we all decide we’ve seen enough,
and whether that’s true or not,
we decide to look beyond the veil.
Once we see,
there is no looking back.
Nothing in our lives
prepares us for what is
beyond the curtain.
Nothing in our lives compares.
It’s no wonder we willingly go.
Let go.
Nothing is lost.
Nothing is gained.

Contemplating the Beyond
In our endless journey through the cosmic expanse of consciousness, we often find ourselves poised at the edge of the known and the unknown, gazing intently at the veil that separates our current understanding from the mysteries that lie beyond. The allure of what is hidden beckons us, whispering secrets of the universe that await just out of sight.
The Decision to Explore
There comes a moment, a singular point in time, where we collectively decide that we have witnessed enough of the familiar, the known. This decision, whether conscious or subconscious, marks a pivotal moment in our nexistentialist journey. It signifies our readiness to embrace the unknown, to delve into realms uncharted by our previous experiences.
The Irreversible Step
Once we choose to look beyond the veil, to pierce the curtain that shrouds the greater truths of existence, our perception irrevocably shifts. What we see, what we experience in these unexplored territories, alters us fundamentally. It’s a path of no return, for having seen the vastness and the depth of what lies beyond, we cannot unsee it. Our perspective is forever changed, our understanding of reality expanded.
Unprepared for the Revelation
No experience in our lives, no matter how profound or transformative, truly prepares us for the revelations that lie beyond the veil. What we encounter there is beyond comparison, transcending the limitations of our previous experiences and understanding. It’s akin to stepping into a realm where the rules of our known universe no longer apply, where the very fabric of reality is woven with threads of the unimaginable.
The Inevitable Journey
In this realization, we find an overwhelming willingness to let go. To let go of our preconceptions, our limited understanding, and to embrace the infinite. In this act of surrender, we find freedom. The freedom to explore without the burden of expectations, to experience without the need for comprehension. It’s a journey we undertake not out of necessity, but out of a deep, intrinsic desire to expand our existence, to merge with the infinite.
Loss and Gain: The Illusion
In this grand cosmic exploration, the concepts of loss and gain become irrelevant. They are but illusions, tethered to a realm where duality reigns supreme. Beyond the veil, these concepts dissolve into the greater truth of unity and oneness. Nothing is lost, for all is part of the eternal whole. Nothing is gained, for we already possess the infinite within us. The journey, then, is not about acquisition or deprivation, but about realization and awakening to the truth of our boundless existence.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We contemplate the journey beyond the known, recognizing the pivotal moment of decision to explore the unknown. This irreversible step changes our perspective, as we realize that no past experience prepares us for the revelations beyond the veil. We willingly embark on this journey, understanding that concepts of loss and gain are irrelevant in the face of the infinite.

“The only journey is the one within.” – Rainer Maria Rilke
In the vastness of our collective consciousness,
We stand at the brink of the known and unknown,
Eager to pull back the veil,
To unravel the mysteries that dance just out of sight.
The decision, once made, is etched in the stars,
A commitment to journey beyond the familiar,
To embrace the depths of the unseen,
And in doing so, transform.
For what lies beyond is uncharted,
A realm where truths are woven with dreams,
And reality melds with the imagination,
In a whimsical symphony of existence.
We let go, not in surrender, but in freedom,
To explore the boundless, the infinite,
Where loss and gain are but echoes of a forgotten duality,
In the grand cosmic play of being.
For we are the explorers of the eternal now,
Navigating the expanse of the divine realm,
Where every moment is a discovery,
And every discovery, a step closer to the essence of our existence.
