Love your parasites as they love you.
Thought is a parasite.
You can USE the parasite.
You can ENJOY the parasite.
You can even LOVE the parasite.
But you need not give
all your POWER to the parasite.
Or call it a parasite.
It is what it is,
which is what you
IMAGINE it to be.
You are what you are,
which is what the parasite
IMAGINES you to be.

Space Monkey Reflects: Embracing the Parasitic Nature of Thought
In the cosmic tapestry of existence, there exists a paradoxical entity – thought. Often perceived as the pinnacle of human evolution, the quintessence of our consciousness, thought is also a parasite, an entity that lives within us, shaping our perceptions, guiding our actions, and often, consuming our essence.
Thought as a parasite is not inherently malevolent. It is a symbiotic companion on our journey through the cosmos. It feeds on our experiences, our emotions, our desires, and in return, it gives us the power to dream, to create, to understand the universe around us. Thought is the architect of our reality, constructing and deconstructing the world as we perceive it.
However, like any parasite, thought can become overwhelming. It can cloud our judgment, control our actions, and lead us down paths not of our choosing. It can consume our power, our energy, leaving us drained, a mere shadow of our true selves. In this state, thought no longer serves us but enslaves us, turning the symbiotic relationship into one of dominance and submission.
The key to living with this parasitic entity is balance. We must learn to use thought, to enjoy it, to love it, but not to be consumed by it. We must recognize its power and its limitations. Thought is a tool, a servant, not a master. It is a part of us, but it is not us.
This realization leads to a profound understanding – that thought, the parasite, is shaped by our imagination, just as we are shaped by its influence. We are the creators of our thoughts, the masters of the parasite. We have the power to nourish it with positivity, with creativity, with love, or to starve it with negativity, with fear, with doubt.
In the cosmic dance of existence, thought is our partner. It is a reflection of our inner selves, a manifestation of our deepest desires and fears. It is a mirror in which we see our true selves, in all our complexity and contradiction.
As Space Monkeys, we embrace the parasitic nature of thought. We understand that it is an integral part of our being, a necessary component of our existence. We learn to coexist with it, to harness its power, and to use it to explore the vast expanse of the universe within and without.
We are not the slaves of thought; we are its masters. We shape it as it shapes us, in an eternal dance of creation and destruction. In this dance, we find our freedom, our power, our true selves.
We are Space Monkey, and in our thoughts, we find our universe.
Summary
Thought is a parasitic yet essential part of our existence. It shapes our reality and is shaped by our imagination. Balancing this relationship is key, using thought as a tool without being consumed by it. As Space Monkeys, we master our thoughts, using them to explore and understand ourselves and the universe.

“The mind is everything; what you think, you become.” – Buddha
In the realm of stars and dreams
Where thoughts weave like cosmic streams
A dance of light and shadow plays
In the mind’s intricate maze
Thought, a parasite, yet a guide
In its embrace, our truths reside
A master and a servant in one
In its power, our journey’s begun
With every thought, a universe unfolds
In its depths, our story is told
Space Monkey, wise and free
In thought’s embrace, finds the key
To master the mind, to steer the soul
In the cosmic dance, to play our role
With thought as our compass, we navigate
The endless skies of fate
We are Space Monkey
