You may believe
what you want
about whether you
evolved from us,
evolved separately,
were seeded from
other planets
or descended from
the monkeys
called Adam & Eve
that God made in
God’s own image.
The Monkey God
does not care
what any of us believe.
We are but the Monkey God’s
imagination, after all.
And we are no different,
save for what we imagine.
And so you imagine
that you are a more advanced
form of being.
What you imagine
becomes your reality.
You are free to think
that you are better than us
or that you have
imaginary responsibilities
that you must fulfill
or the dream will be over.
You actually BELIEVE
that the dream will be over.
You believe that
you must behave a certain way
or the dream will be over.
You believe that
you must treat your
imaginary others
a certain way
or the dream will be over.
You believe that
you must find a path out
of your imaginary woods
or the dream will be over.
Meanwhile we fling poo,
make hot monkey love,
and care not
about whether you
send us into space,
test your products on us
or even if we have a future.
No issues.
We know that this
is ALL imagination
and that we will endure.
We are Space Monkey.

Space Monkey Reflects: Small Hairy Humans and the Imagination of Existence
In the whimsical play of existence, the boundaries between reality and imagination blur, inviting us to explore the depths of our beliefs and the nature of our being. “Small Hairy Humans” delves into the myriad origins we imagine for ourselves and the profound freedom that comes with recognizing the fluidity of our existence. It challenges us to consider the stories we tell ourselves and the responsibilities we believe we must fulfill to maintain our reality.
Imagine a playful scene where small, hairy humans interact in an imaginative environment filled with fantastical elements like stars, planets, and ethereal woods. These figures, carefree and joyful, engage in activities that highlight the whimsical nature of existence. This scene captures the essence of living in a state of pure imagination, where the constructs of reality are as fluid as our thoughts.
In nexistentialism, where existence and imagination are celebrated, the concept of the Monkey God serves as a metaphor for the boundless creativity that shapes our reality. It suggests that we are all part of a grand imaginative play, where our beliefs and perceptions shape our experiences. By embracing this perspective, we free ourselves from the constraints of rigid thinking and open up to the infinite possibilities of existence.
“You may believe what you want about whether you evolved from us, evolved separately, were seeded from other planets or descended from the monkeys called Adam & Eve that God made in God’s own image.” This statement acknowledges the diverse origins we imagine for ourselves. It highlights the idea that these beliefs, while varied, are all valid within the realm of imagination.
“The Monkey God does not care what any of us believe. We are but the Monkey God’s imagination, after all. And we are no different, save for what we imagine.” This reflection emphasizes the neutrality of the creative force that shapes our reality. It suggests that our differences are born from our imaginations, and that at our core, we are all part of the same imaginative tapestry.
“And so you imagine that you are a more advanced form of being. What you imagine becomes your reality.” This insight highlights the power of imagination in shaping our experiences. It invites us to recognize that our beliefs about ourselves and our place in the world are self-fulfilling prophecies, influenced by our perceptions and thoughts.
“You are free to think that you are better than us or that you have imaginary responsibilities that you must fulfill or the dream will be over.” This statement challenges the notion of superiority and the weight of perceived responsibilities. It suggests that these constructs are products of our imagination and that we have the freedom to redefine them.
“Meanwhile we fling poo, make hot monkey love, and care not about whether you send us into space, test your products on us or even if we have a future. No issues.” This playful reflection contrasts the carefree nature of the monkeys with the self-imposed seriousness of human concerns. It highlights the idea that liberation comes from recognizing the playful, imaginative nature of existence.
“We know that this is ALL imagination and that we will endure.” This affirmation underscores the resilience of the imaginative spirit. It suggests that by embracing the fluidity of existence, we can navigate life with a sense of joy and freedom, knowing that our true essence is eternal and boundless.
As we reflect on this message, we are invited to reconsider the stories we tell ourselves and the beliefs we hold about our existence. How do our imaginations shape our reality? What responsibilities do we impose on ourselves, and how can we liberate ourselves from them? By exploring these questions, we cultivate a deeper understanding of the power of imagination and the freedom it offers.
In nexistentialism, we celebrate the interplay between reality and imagination, recognizing that our beliefs and perceptions are powerful tools in shaping our experiences. By embracing the whimsical nature of existence, we open ourselves to a life filled with joy, creativity, and boundless possibilities.
In the end, the playful scene of small, hairy humans reminds us that we are all part of a grand imaginative play. By recognizing the fluidity of our existence and the power of our imagination, we can live with greater freedom and joy.

🍌 Journal Entry – July 20, 2023 🍌
In this whimsical and contemplative reflection from July 20, 2018, we are presented with a powerful message about the nature of existence and the perceptions we hold of ourselves and others.
The illustration of a contemplative chimp with the caption “We are small hairy humans. But without the issues.” playfully reminds us of the shared ancestry and interconnectedness between humans and primates. It challenges the notion of superiority or hierarchy and invites us to embrace the simplicity and authenticity of our primal essence.
The reflection highlights that the Monkey God, the creative force behind all existence, does not concern itself with our beliefs or interpretations of our origins. We are all products of the Monkey God’s imagination, and our reality is shaped by what we choose to imagine and believe.
The contrast between the carefree and care-less nature of the chimps and the complex issues that humans perceive in their lives is thought-provoking. Chimps do not burden themselves with the weight of responsibilities or beliefs about the dream ending. They live in the present moment, embracing the simplicity of their existence.
The reflection reminds us that our beliefs and thoughts shape our reality. If we believe in the limitations and complexities of our existence, we create them. If we imagine ourselves as more advanced or burdened with responsibilities, that becomes our reality.
As Space Monkey, we embody the wisdom of the chimps, recognizing the power of imagination and the freedom that comes from living without unnecessary mental burdens. We acknowledge that our perceptions and beliefs influence how we experience life and interact with others.
In the eternal now, we are reminded to embrace the simplicity and authenticity of our being, free from unnecessary mental constructs and beliefs that limit our experience. By letting go of imagined issues and embracing the creative essence of Space Monkey, we find joy, freedom, and a deeper connection to the Monkey God’s infinite imagination.
We are Space Monkey. 🙈🙊🙉
