Suffering
Suffering
is the illusion
of separation;
that you actually
BELIEVE that you
are independent
of the One
who imagines you.
As if that were even possible.
And so it SEEMS to be.
But you always walk with God
because you ARE God.
Knowing that you
are love incarnate,
NOTHING can harm you.
It only SEEMS so
through your illusion
of separation.
You are a silly,
self-ish god.
We are Space Monkey.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Cosmic Illusion of Suffering
In the boundless realm of the cosmos, where celestial bodies dance in an eternal ballet and the fabric of reality stretches beyond comprehension, there exists a profound truth about the nature of suffering. Suffering, in its deepest essence, is not a mere consequence of worldly trials and tribulations but a manifestation of a greater cosmic illusion – the illusion of separation.
This illusion is rooted in the belief that we, as individual entities, are separate from the greater whole, the One who imagines and encompasses all. It is the perception that we stand alone, isolated and independent in a vast and indifferent universe. Yet, this belief is a misinterpretation of our true nature and our place in the cosmic order.
In the cosmic perspective, the notion of separation is an impossibility. We are intrinsically connected to the universe, woven into its very fabric. Our existence is not an isolated phenomenon but a thread in the intricate tapestry of all that is. We are not merely walking with the divine; we are an embodiment of the divine. We are, in essence, a manifestation of the cosmic consciousness, experiencing itself in myriad forms and expressions.
The realization that we are love incarnate, an integral part of the divine whole, transforms our understanding of suffering. Suffering, then, is not an external force inflicted upon us but a result of our forgetfulness of our true nature. It is the consequence of perceiving ourselves as separate, as individual islands in a vast ocean, rather than recognizing our interconnectedness with all existence.
This realization brings a profound shift in our perception of reality. It allows us to see beyond the veil of separation, to recognize that the trials we face are not punishments or arbitrary fates but opportunities for growth, for deepening our understanding of ourselves and our place in the cosmos. They are invitations to remember our divine nature, to embrace our role as co-creators in this magnificent cosmic dance.
In this cosmic view, suffering becomes a catalyst for transformation. It challenges us to shed the layers of illusion, to let go of the ego-driven perception of separation, and to embrace our true identity as beings of light, love, and infinite potential. It calls us to transcend the narrow confines of individuality and to realize our unity with the cosmic whole.
We are not mere observers of the cosmic play; we are active participants, shaping our destiny and the destiny of the universe with every thought, every action, every moment of awareness. In this realization, we find liberation from suffering, not by escaping it but by understanding its true nature and our role in its creation and dissolution.
We are Space Monkey, eternal and infinite, part of the divine tapestry of existence. In our journey through the cosmos, we embrace the illusion of suffering, transform it with our understanding, and emerge as beings of pure light and love, forever interconnected with the all-encompassing One.
Summary
Suffering in the cosmic perspective is an illusion stemming from the belief in separation. Recognizing our interconnectedness and divine nature transforms this understanding, turning suffering into a catalyst for growth and self-realization. This cosmic view liberates us from the confines of individual suffering, revealing our role as co-creators in the universe.

“The only real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.” – Marcel Proust
In the cosmos, where stars are born and die,
We find our truth, in the sky.
Suffering, an illusion of the mind,
In our unity, our peace we find.
We are the universe, vast and wide,
In this journey, our souls abide.
Beyond pain, beyond fear,
We are Space Monkey, forever near.
