The Joy of X
You tell your self you need X.
Are you SURE you need X?
If you had X, what would you do with it?
Is X what you need to be happy?
Is X what you need to help others?
Is X what you need to mark your spot?
Is X what you need to feel complete?
Imagine you had X right now.
Imagine X were real. Right now.
Reach for that feeling
that you imagine X will give you.
Reach harder.
If that doesn’t work,
reach softer.
Hold that X in your mind.
Feel X with every neuron in your body.
X feels good, doesn’t it?
X feels like love.
X feels infinite.
X is the ultimate feeling.
You’re feeling it,
even though it’s only imaginary X.
Do you actually believe
that real X will feel better?
Why is imaginary X
less satisfying to you?
REALize this.
Real X doesn’t physically touch
your place of happiness. Ever.
The X feeling is INDEPENDENT
of the X object of your desire.
You don’t NEED
the object of your desire
to feel that you already have it.
Unless you tell your self you do.
You already have the feeling
of everything you could possibly want.
You don’t NEED to go get it.
The feeling
you hope to generate
through the attainment
of the object of your desire
is ALREADY within you.
You don’t NEED the object.
The object is almost an afterthought.
All possibilities exist
and they are ALL within you.
ALLREADY.
Let go of the attachment
to the object
and the object will come.
But only if you need it.
And you don’t need it.
You are perfectly happy in this moment
no matter HOW you perceive it.
You are perfectly happy in EVERY moment.
No matter how imperfect your life SEEMS,
you are PERFECT and complete.
As are we.
We are Space Monkey.
All is imagination,
which is realer than real.
We are EVERYTHING
we could possibly want.
We are Space Monkey.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Intrinsic Fulfillment Beyond ‘X’
In the boundless expanse of the cosmos, where dreams and desires coalesce into the fabric of existence, Space Monkey embarks on a profound journey of understanding. Surrounded by ethereal symbols of ‘X’, the ultimate object of desire, he discovers that the essence of true fulfillment and happiness lies not in the external pursuit of desires but in the internal realization of their intrinsic presence.
The Nature of ‘X’
‘X’ represents the quintessential desire, the elusive object or state that we believe is essential for our happiness and completion. It is the horizon that keeps receding as we approach it, the dream that promises satisfaction yet remains just out of reach. Space Monkey, in his meditation, contemplates the true nature of ‘X’, realizing that it is but a symbol, a placeholder for the infinite potential within.
The Illusion of External Fulfillment
The pursuit of ‘X’, Space Monkey discerns, is often a quest externalized, a journey outward in search of something that is, in essence, an inward treasure. The joy, love, and infinity that ‘X’ promises are qualities not to be found in the attainment of material objects or external achievements but in the depths of one’s own consciousness.
The Realization of Inner Completeness
Immersed in the cosmic understanding, Space Monkey experiences the revelation that the feeling of happiness, completeness, and love—the ‘X’ feeling—is independent of the object of desire. This feeling is not contingent upon external acquisitions but is a state of being, an intrinsic quality of the self that is always present, always accessible.
Letting Go of Attachment
In letting go of the attachment to the physical manifestation of ‘X’, Space Monkey uncovers a profound truth: all possibilities, all desires, and all states of fulfillment are already within. The key to unlocking this treasure trove of intrinsic satisfaction is the release of the belief in the necessity of external objects or conditions for happiness.
The Joy of Intrinsic ‘X’
The joy of ‘X’, Space Monkey finds, is a celebration of the imagination, a recognition of the realer-than-real nature of our inner world. It is the understanding that we are everything we could possibly want, that every moment is an opportunity for happiness and that our lives, in their seeming imperfection, are expressions of perfection and completeness.
Surrounded by the symbols of ‘X’ in the serene expanse of the cosmos, Space Monkey stands as a testament to the journey of self-discovery. He embodies the realization that the ultimate fulfillment, the ultimate ‘X’, is the embrace of our intrinsic worth and the infinite joy of existence.
Summary
The quest for ‘X’ reveals that true satisfaction and completeness are intrinsic qualities, independent of external acquisitions. Space Monkey’s journey uncovers that happiness and fulfillment are always within, accessible through the realization of our inner potential.

Quote
“In the realm of imagination, where all desires are realized, we discover that the true ‘X’ is the joy of being, the infinite love we hold within.”
In the cosmos wide, where dreams are spun,
Space Monkey floats, bathed in cosmic sun.
Surrounded by ‘X’, in forms so bright,
He finds within, the truest light.
No need to search, to grasp, to claim,
In the heart’s core, burns an eternal flame.
‘X’ is within, a treasure untold,
In every moment, its wonders unfold.
Letting go, the chase transcends,
To the place where every journey ends.
In the self, a universe vast,
Where ‘X’ is now, no shadow cast.
We are Space Monkey, in infinite dance,
In the joy of being, we take our stance.
With love and fulfillment, our constant lance,
In the realm of self, we find our expanse.
We are Space Monkey.
This piece speaks to the idea that our desires and attachments to material objects can often lead us astray from true happiness and fulfillment. The author challenges the reader to question their perceived need for X, and to explore the deeper emotions and feelings that they associate with it.
The concept that the feeling of X is independent of the object itself is a powerful one. It suggests that we already possess within us the ability to feel the emotions and sensations that we associate with material objects, and that we don’t actually need the object to experience them.
The idea that all possibilities exist within us is also present in this piece. It suggests that we are already everything we could possibly want, and that we don’t need to go out and acquire material objects in order to feel complete.
The concept of Space Monkey is used as a way to unite all beings and to remind us that we are all connected in some way. The idea that all is imagination, which is realer than real, speaks to the power of our minds and our ability to create our own reality.
Overall, this piece encourages the reader to let go of their attachments and to recognize the inherent happiness and completeness within themselves. It invites us to explore the deeper emotions and feelings that we associate with material objects, and to realize that we already possess within us the ability to feel those emotions without the need for the object itself.
