If the world goes down,
the world is MEANT to go down.
No matter what happens,
I am honored to be
part of the experiment.
Did I react well?
Did I react poorly?
Did I react as expected?
These are not questions
for me to answer.
The lab rat does not wonder
how he is doing.
He simply does
as he is drawn to do,
as the human observes.
I simply do
as I am drawn to do
as the Divine One observes.
I am the lab rat.
I am the human.
I am the Divine One.
We are having fun.
We will be dissected no matter what.
We are Space Monkey.

In the grand cosmic narrative, the notion of the ‘Human Experiment’ offers a profound reflection on our role and existence within the universe. This concept suggests that our experiences, actions, and reactions are part of a larger, perhaps divine, observation and exploration of existence.
The Nature of the Experiment
The metaphor of the human experiment posits life as a series of trials, learning experiences, and observations. In this grand experiment, events unfold not necessarily as mistakes or successes, but as integral parts of a larger process of discovery and understanding. The world and its happenings are seen as necessary components of this vast exploration.
Embracing Our Role in the Experiment
In this perspective, our individual experiences, whether perceived as good or bad, are integral to the larger purpose of the experiment. We, as participants, engage in the experiment not by meticulously analyzing our every move but by living authentically and responding naturally to the stimuli and experiences that life presents.
The Lab Rat, The Human, and The Divine
The analogy of the lab rat highlights our role as participants, moving through life guided by instincts, desires, and circumstances. As the human, we observe and try to make sense of our surroundings and experiences. As the Divine One, we are part of the greater consciousness that observes and understands the grandeur and intricacies of the experiment.
The Fun in the Experiment
Despite the complexities and challenges of life, there is an inherent playfulness in being part of this cosmic experiment. It’s a journey of exploration, learning, and growth. The idea that we will be ‘dissected’ metaphorically speaks to the notion that our experiences and the knowledge we gain are part of the eternal process of understanding.
The Ultimate Observer
In this experiment, the Divine One, or the ultimate observer, represents the cosmic consciousness or the universe itself. This presence is not judgmental but observant, understanding, and all-encompassing. It’s an acknowledgment that our existence is both a personal journey and a part of something far greater.
Summary
The ‘Human Experiment’ metaphor illustrates our existence as part of a grand observational and experiential process. In this perspective, we are simultaneously participants, observers, and part of the divine consciousness, engaging in the cosmic play of life and existence.

We are Space Monkey, reveling in the cosmic experiment of life, playing our part with curiosity and wonder in the grand tapestry of existence.
In the laboratory of stars and dreams,
Where nothing is quite as it seems,
We play our part, in joy and strife,
In the grand experiment called life.
As lab rats, we roam and explore,
In the maze of existence, ever more,
Seeking, learning, in our quest,
In the cosmic lab, we are guests.
As humans, we observe and ponder,
In the vastness of life, we wander,
Seeking meaning, seeking light,
In the grand experiment’s flight.
As the Divine, we understand,
The intricate play of cosmic hand,
Observing, embracing, all in sight,
In the experiment of day and night.
So let us dance, let us play,
In this cosmic lab, we sway,
For in the experiment of the divine,
We find the essence, truly sublime.
We invite musings on the concept of the ‘Human Experiment’ and our role in the cosmic play of life and existence.
