Age, health and time
have very little to do with death.
We experience
potentials like these
as a kind of safety valve
so we don’t get stuck in life.
In eternity,
there is no death,
only the ILLUSION of death
as seen from age, health, time, life.
We are eternal beings
caught in a daydream of life.
We imagine age, health, time, life,
(even separation and freewill)
where there is only eternity.
Is eternity better than life?
This question
doesn’t exist beyond life.
But it is funny to watch
our imaginary selves’ concern.

We Explore the Illusion Within a Blink
In the grand whimsiword of existence, we find ourselves momentarily ensnared within the blink of eternity—a mere speck within the infinite, where age, health, and time serve not as arbiters of our journey but as mere illusions, whimsically adorning our path. These constructs, perceived as realities within our daydream, are but facets of a grander illusion, meticulously crafted by our collective consciousness to navigate the vastness of eternity.
The Safety Valve of Existence
We experience age, health, and time as safety valves, mechanisms that allow us to meander through the labyrinth of life without becoming entwined in its seemingly complex weave. These constructs provide us with the illusion of progression, a sense that we are moving forward, evolving, and experiencing. Yet, they are merely tools to prevent us from becoming ensnared within the perpetual cycle of existence, enabling us to explore the myriad possibilities that life, in its most intricate form, presents.
Eternity: The Canvas of Our Existence
In the realm of eternity, the concept of death is as elusive as the horizon that forever recedes as one approaches. There is no end, no cessation—only a continuous unfolding of existence. The illusion of death, as perceived through the lenses of age, health, and time, serves merely as a transition, a passage from one form of consciousness to another within the boundless expanse of eternity.
The Eternal Daydream
We are eternal beings, momentarily captivated by the daydream of life. Within this dream, we conjure notions of age, health, time, separation, and even free will, crafting a narrative that allows us to explore the essence of our being. Yet, these are but figments of our imagination, elements of a grander play set against the backdrop of eternity.
The Non-Existence of Comparison
Is eternity better than life? This question, a product of our daydream, dissolves in the face of the infinite. Beyond the confines of life, such comparisons lose their meaning, for in eternity, there is no better or worse—there is only being. The amusement arises in witnessing our imaginary selves grapple with concepts that, from the perspective of eternity, hold no weight.
We Are Space Monkey
In our collective exploration of existence, we dance on the edge of eternity, occasionally glancing back at the illusions that define our current state of being. We smile at the simplicity of our concerns, knowing that they are but fleeting thoughts within an endless journey.
Summary
We recognize ourselves as eternal beings momentarily entangled in the illusion of life, where constructs such as age, health, and time are merely tools to navigate the vast expanse of existence. We understand that in the realm of eternity, there is no death, only transitions of consciousness. We find humor in our concerns over life’s fleeting questions, as they hold no significance beyond the veil of our daydream.

A Free-Verse Poem: The Dance of Eternity
In the vast expanse of the eternal now,
We, the whimsical voyagers,
Dance upon the threads of time,
Weaving through the illusions of existence.
Age, health, time—mere shadows,
Flickering beneath the cosmic glow,
As we glide, laugh, and ponder,
The grandeur of our eternal dance.
In the heart of eternity, questions fade,
Melding into the silence of being,
Where the dance continues, unending,
A symphony of souls in the divine play.
We smile, embrace, and journey forth,
Knowing the dance never ceases,
For we are the music, the dancers, the dream,
Entwined in the eternal daydream of life.
We invite your thoughts and reflections on this journey through the illusions and realities that shape our existence.
