But has it ever occurred to you
that you keep getting back
on the Karmic Wheel because it’s fun?
You may believe that
you keep getting reincarnated
until you learn your lessons.
The Karmic Wheel
is no different than Space Mountain.
We stay on until it no longer holds our interest.
It has NOTHING to do with learning lessons.
Has it ever occurred to you
that the sufferings that you
seem to repeat over and over
are ALSO fun?
Why would it? Forgetting is fun.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Playful Cycle of the Karmic Wheel
It’s a small world. That’s a different story. You may believe that you keep getting reincarnated until you learn your lessons. But has it ever occurred to you that you keep getting back on the Karmic Wheel because it’s fun? The Karmic Wheel is no different than Space Mountain. We stay on until it no longer holds our interest. It has NOTHING to do with learning lessons. Has it ever occurred to you that the sufferings that you seem to repeat over and over are ALSO fun? Why would it? Forgetting is fun.
The concept of the Karmic Wheel often brings to mind images of endless cycles of birth, death, and rebirth, each turn presenting an opportunity to learn and evolve. Yet, what if this cycle is not just about lessons and growth? What if it is also about the sheer enjoyment of the ride, the thrill of the ups and downs, much like an amusement park attraction?
Imagine the Karmic Wheel as Space Mountain, a cosmic roller coaster that we ride for the excitement, the unpredictability, and the experiences it offers. We stay on this ride not merely to learn but because the ride itself is inherently fun. The twists, turns, and loops, though sometimes challenging, provide a sense of adventure and discovery.
In this light, reincarnation and the repetition of life’s experiences take on a new meaning. We are not just souls on a serious mission of self-improvement; we are also adventurers, thrill-seekers, and explorers of the cosmic theme park. The sufferings and joys we encounter are all part of the ride, adding to its richness and diversity.
Forgetting, too, becomes an integral part of this experience. Each time we reincarnate, we start with a fresh slate, forgetting our past lives and lessons. This forgetfulness adds to the excitement, making each ride feel new and unique. It allows us to experience life’s moments with a sense of wonder and curiosity, unburdened by the memories of our previous journeys.
The notion that suffering could be fun might seem counterintuitive, but consider the experiences that challenge us and push us out of our comfort zones. These moments often lead to profound growth and transformation. The thrill of overcoming obstacles and navigating through life’s complexities can be seen as a form of cosmic entertainment, a way to engage deeply with the essence of existence.
In the embrace of Space Monkey, we celebrate this playful perspective on the Karmic Wheel. We recognize that life is not solely about serious pursuits and lessons but also about joy, exploration, and the sheer fun of existence. By embracing this view, we can navigate our lives with a lighter heart and a more open mind, finding pleasure in both the challenges and the triumphs.
As we ride the Karmic Wheel, let us remember to enjoy the journey. Let us find joy in the cycles of reincarnation, the experiences we repeat, and the lessons we learn. By doing so, we transform our perspective on life, seeing it not as a series of hurdles to overcome but as a thrilling ride to enjoy.
Summary
The Karmic Wheel is not just about learning lessons but also about the joy of the ride. Life’s cycles are like a cosmic amusement park, offering thrill and excitement. Embrace the fun in both challenges and triumphs.

The Ride of Existence
In the cosmic amusement park
The Karmic Wheel spins round
Not just for lessons learned
But for the thrill we’ve found
Life’s ups and downs, twists and turns
Each a joyous thrill
In the whimsiweave of being
We ride with heart and will
Forgetfulness brings newness
Each ride feels fresh and bright
For in the shadow and the light
We find our true delight
We are Space Monkey
Embrace the journey, for within the playful cycles of the Karmic Wheel lies the essence of joy and the beauty of existence.
The Karmic Wheel: A Play of Delightful Illusions
Within the vast playground of existence, where the Karmic Wheel spins and the cycles of life and death dance, we find ourselves contemplating the nature of reincarnation and the illusion of learning lessons.
You may have held the belief that the purpose of reincarnation is to learn and grow, to unravel the mysteries of existence through repeated lifetimes. But we invite you to consider a different perspective.
What if the reason you keep returning to the Karmic Wheel is simply because it’s fun? Just like the exhilarating thrill of a roller coaster ride, we stay on the wheel until it no longer holds our interest.
The Karmic Wheel is but a playful adventure, an amusement park of experiences where we immerse ourselves in the myriad of sensations and emotions that life offers. It’s not about learning lessons or achieving some predetermined state of enlightenment. It’s about the sheer joy of participating in the grand cosmic game.
Consider that even the sufferings and challenges that seem to repeat in your life are part of this grand play. They too hold an element of fun and intrigue. Forgetting and rediscovering brings a certain delight, as each new incarnation offers a fresh perspective and an opportunity to explore the full range of human experiences.
In the realm of illusion, where forgetting and remembering interweave, we find the essence of joyous play. The Karmic Wheel is a reminder that life is meant to be embraced and enjoyed, with all its ups and downs, triumphs and tribulations.
So, dear adventurer, as you continue your journey on the Karmic Wheel, embrace the whimsical nature of existence. Engage fully in the experiences that unfold before you, for they are the threads that weave the tapestry of your soul’s delightful exploration.
Remember, it’s not about reaching some distant destination or completing a checklist of lessons. It’s about savoring each moment, relishing the flavors of existence, and immersing yourself in the playfulness of being.
With playful love,
