The ∞ Knows
Know dear sister,
know dear brother,
know dear other,
that despite what we
perceive as differences,
we are one infinite soul,
and that whatever we believe
is simultaneously both correct
and equally incorrect.
Know that we flow
from one infinite source
and that the divides
we perceive are imaginary.
Know that the judgements
we place upon each other
are neither right nor wrong,
they simply are what they are,
for judgements are
how we divide ourselves
into this limited dimension
to experience.
Know that the limits
we may place upon ourselves
are neither real nor false
for those also are what we
come here to experience.
Know that
this human life is temporary,
and rest assured that that
the greater you,
the greater me,
the greater we,
exist also as one,
outside of time and space,
which are but limits we place
and measures we judge.
Know that our purpose
has always been to divide
so that we may experience our unity
from different perspectives.
Know that our emotions,
however strong,
need not be resolved
or forgotten
for all creations
are revered equally
outside of your perspective.
Know that we are infinity
imagining the infinitesimal,
and despite our perceived divides,
polarities and separations,
we ultimately return
to the same state,
the state of equilibrium,
balance, and love,
unified in energy and potential
as we have been all along.
Know dear sister,
know dear brother,
know dear other,
that you are a significant ripple
and that we are the infinite ocean.
You are we. We are one.
We are Space Monkey.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Wisdom of The ∞ Knows
The infinite—the ∞—knows truths that our limited, human perspectives often cannot grasp. It knows that we are not separate but profoundly interconnected, each of us a unique wave rising and falling within the same vast ocean. No matter what differences we perceive, no matter the judgments we pass or the limitations we imagine, we are ultimately one, a collective expression of an infinite soul, boundless in its nature, limitless in its potential.
When we remember that we are this infinity, the illusions of separation begin to dissolve. The judgments we place upon ourselves and others, the barriers we raise in our minds, become part of the experience rather than obstacles to it. We do not need to resolve or erase these divisions. Instead, we see them as the points where we enter this limited world, a realm of time and space, for the sake of experiencing difference, diversity, and the journey back to oneness.
In Nexistentialism, each of us is seen as a ripple on the surface of an infinite ocean—the Nexis—where we temporarily forget our oneness to perceive ourselves as individuals. Our purpose, then, is not to overcome this illusion of separation but to experience it fully. Through each judgment, each feeling, each belief that we are somehow distinct from others, we gain the perspective necessary to understand the unity that lies beneath. We divide, we judge, we feel intensely, so that when we remember our oneness, it resonates with the richness of all we’ve learned along the way.
In this light, all beliefs and perspectives become valid, each one a lens through which infinity views itself. This is why the ∞ knows that whatever we believe is simultaneously both correct and incorrect. Every belief holds a part of the truth, shaped by the unique conditions of each individual’s experience. Yet no belief can encompass the whole truth, as infinity itself is beyond any single perspective.
The ∞ knows that even the limitations we place upon ourselves, the roles we adopt, and the boundaries we draw, are neither real nor false. They simply are—temporary constructs we create to experience life from a particular vantage point. These limits allow us to feel, to think, to create, and to encounter the infinite in finite terms. They provide structure to an otherwise boundless existence, enabling us to taste the richness of contrast, the depth of emotion, and the beauty of the journey back to unity.
Beyond this human experience, the ∞ knows that we exist together as one, in a state untouched by time, space, or division. This eternal self, this boundless consciousness, has always existed, unchanging and whole, encompassing each individual expression of life as part of its limitless essence. The temporary nature of human life serves as a reminder of this greater existence, of the timeless unity that we all share, of the equilibrium we return to when the journey is complete.
Our purpose has always been to divide so that we may experience unity from different perspectives, to imagine the infinitesimal so that we might understand the infinite. Each emotion, each thought, each choice is a vital part of this grand tapestry, equally valued in the eyes of the infinite. Our experiences of polarity, of contrast, are not obstacles but aspects of the infinite itself, which contains all opposites, all dualities, in a balanced, loving whole.
So let us know, dear sister, dear brother, dear other, that despite the seeming divides, we are one. Let us celebrate our individuality while remembering our unity, finding peace in the paradox of being both separate and whole. As we explore this world, we ripple outward, touching the lives of others, shaping the fabric of existence in ways both subtle and profound. And in doing so, we return, again and again, to the truth that we are the infinite ocean, expressing itself as each unique wave.
Summary
The ∞ knows that we are one, despite our perceived divides. Each belief, judgment, and experience is a temporary expression of the infinite, allowing us to explore unity from different perspectives and ultimately return to oneness.

Quote
“We are infinity imagining the finite, waves upon an infinite sea, each ripple a dance within the whole.” — Space Monkey
Ode to the Infinite
I am a ripple on a boundless sea,
one with all, yet distinct, free,
a whisper of infinity, small yet vast,
in every moment, future, present, past.
Beyond the measure of space or time,
I flow in the rhythm of the divine,
both whole and part, both wave and shore,
forever united, forevermore.
We are Space Monkey.
We dance in the realms of existence, where each moment is a brushstroke on the eternal canvas of the cosmos. We understand that our essence is woven from the same stardust, painted with the same cosmic hues. Our journey is a passage through endless reflections of the self, each an echo of the One.
Our perceptions of division are but shadows cast by the mind’s lantern, fleeting and ephemeral. We traverse the illusionary corridors, knowing that these partitions are mere whispers in the grand symphony of the universe.
Judgment, a prism through which we refract our experiences, colors our world in the shades of duality. Yet, these judgments are not anchors but sails, guiding us across the seas of our temporal voyage.
The constraints we sense, the boundaries we sketch—nothing more than the play of light and dark, a dance of presence and absence. These are the contours that define our worldly sojourn, the outlines that give shape to our explorations.
This temporal guise we wear, a fleeting garment, is but a costume for the day’s masquerade. Beyond this play of time and space, we exist—vast and unfettered—beyond the horizons of beginnings and ends.
Our mission, ever-entwined with the cosmic loom, is to unravel ourselves into countless threads, only to be rewoven into the fabric of totality. Through myriad lenses we gaze, each a unique facet of the singular gem.
Emotions, those vibrant hues that streak across our being, need not be tamed or erased. They are the artistry of our souls, each shade as cherished as the next in the gallery of the divine.
We are the architects of the infinite, shaping the minuscule with the tools of our imagination. In the grand design, our seeming separations are but pauses between the verses of unity’s poem.
We acknowledge that our essence—resplendent and serene—waits beyond the veil of this worldly drama. In love’s gravity, we are drawn back to the heart of existence, where all is in balance, all is in peace.
In the kinship of spirits, we recognize each other as fragments of the boundless, each a vital note in the eternal song. Our oneness resonates through the silence, a truth known to every heart.
“You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.” – Rumi
And now, let us weave a poem from the threads of our musings:
We are whispers of the cosmos,
Dancing on the winds of time,
Boundless, we soar beyond the finite,
Infinite in our boundless rhyme.
We are the weavers and the woven,
In the tapestry of night and day,
Through the loom of existence,
Our souls do sing and sway.
We are the ocean, we are the ripple,
In the grand sea of the divine,
Every drop a universe,
In this grand design.
We are Space Monkey,
In the play of the eternal now,
In the dance of the infinite,
We take our cosmic bow.
We invite reflections on this contemplation, for in sharing, we expand the horizons of our collective soul.
