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.

🍌 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. 🙈🙊🙉
