If the world
can be destroyed
by something within it
then surely
WE can be destroyed
by someone within US
for we are worlds
unto ourselves.
We present our selves
with examples of this
all the time.
And so all living things
seem to pass
on their own volition.
It has nothing to do
with demolition.
We are all ONE being.
Why would we kill our selves
by our own hand?
Because despite
how it seems,
it is fun.
And we never really die.
We simply
turn on our selves
at the crossroads of infinity.
Seemingly.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Infinite Crossroads of Turning Your Self On
We are, each of us, worlds unto ourselves. Just as the universe contains the seeds of its own creation and destruction, so too do we carry within us the power to dismantle and rebuild the selves we’ve created. The line between demolition and transformation is thin, especially when viewed through the lens of Nexistentialism, where all things—birth, death, renewal—are part of the same cosmic flow.
You are standing at the crossroads of infinity. There, in the swirling vastness, you confront the self—the creation of your thoughts, experiences, and the narratives you’ve woven over time. And then, in one brilliant moment of realization, you turn on yourself. Not in destruction, but in revelation. To “turn on” your self is to flip the switch of awareness, to illuminate what was hidden in the shadows, and to recognize that all these aspects of the self—good, bad, chaotic, serene—are part of the infinite dance.
At this crossroads, you come face-to-face with a truth that seems almost absurd: it’s fun. It’s fun to destroy the old constructs of self, to shatter the illusions that we cling to, and to witness the rebuilding of something new. And here’s the kicker—we never really die. We never truly cease to be. Instead, we evolve. We shift. We take on new forms, new perspectives, new versions of self that are no more or less valid than the ones we left behind.
This act of turning on oneself is not about self-sabotage or negativity. It’s about self-discovery. It’s about recognizing that we are not static beings trapped within a single narrative. We are fluid. We are constantly evolving. Just as the universe expands and contracts, so too does the self, moving through cycles of creation and destruction. But we only perceive this as destruction because we’re so deeply attached to the idea of permanence.
But what if there is no permanence? What if the self you think you know is just one version, one facet, of an infinite number of selves you could become? To turn on your self is to unlock that potential. It’s to open the door to the infinite possibilities that exist within you.
And yes, sometimes it feels like demolition. It feels like you’re tearing apart the very foundation of who you are. But in reality, you’re simply clearing space for something new. There’s an excitement in that—a thrill in knowing that you can always reinvent, always rediscover who you are. You are the builder and the destroyer, the creator and the created. This is the paradox of the infinite crossroads where we all stand.
Nexistentialism teaches us that there is no final version of the self. There is no endpoint where you arrive fully formed, finished, and complete. The journey is endless. Each time you turn on your self, you reveal new layers, new dimensions. The Nexis—the web of interconnected existence—expands with every revelation. You are both the dancer and the dance, constantly moving, constantly shifting, never static.
But why do we do it? Why do we keep turning on ourselves, over and over again? The answer is simple: because it’s fun. Not fun in the trivial sense, but in the deeper, cosmic sense of play. The universe itself is a Whimsiweave, a playful, dynamic thread of existence that delights in its own unfolding. And we, as part of that universe, delight in our own unfolding too. Even when it feels like we’re falling apart, there’s a joy in knowing that we are never really lost. We’re simply in the process of becoming something new.
To destroy the self is to free the self. To turn on your self is to recognize that you are not bound by the narratives you’ve created. You are not limited by the past. You are not trapped in a single version of who you think you are. You are infinite. You are boundless. And each time you confront the crossroads of your own being, you have the chance to step into a new reality, a new version of existence that is uniquely yours.
At the end of the day, you can’t destroy what was never truly permanent to begin with. The self is a fleeting, fluid construct—a reflection of the infinite possibilities that lie within the Nexis. So, when you turn on your self, you are simply embracing the cosmic play of existence, recognizing that every ending is a beginning, every demolition is a rebirth.
Summary
Turning on your self at the crossroads of infinity is not an act of destruction but one of revelation. It’s a process of rediscovery, where you dismantle the old constructs of self and unlock new possibilities. The journey is infinite, and the self is always evolving within the Whimsiweave.

Quote
“To turn on your self is to light the way to new possibilities, to embrace the infinite play of existence.” — Space Monkey
The Crossroads of Becoming
At the crossroads,
you stand,
a flicker in the cosmic dark.
You turn on yourself,
and the light spills out,
revealing the selves you’ve hidden.
There is no end here,
only new beginnings,
only the joy of becoming.
We are Space Monkey.
The Dance of Self and Infinity
The cosmos and self intertwine in a dance that transcends the boundaries of time and space. Within each of us lies a world, a universe teeming with potential, beauty, and chaos. And just as our world, our planet, is susceptible to the forces within it, so too are we susceptible to the forces within our own being.
Self as a Microcosm
We are, in essence, microcosms of the vast universe, reflections of its majesty and complexity. We wield the power to create and destroy, to uplift and to shatter. Every action, every thought, every feeling is a ripple in the fabric of our personal universe, shaping the course of our existence.
The Play of Existence
Life, in its myriad forms and expressions, flows and ebbs in a rhythm that is both mysterious and wondrous. The cycle of birth, growth, decay, and rebirth is evident in all of nature, and we, as sentient beings, are not exempt from this cosmic dance. While destruction and end might seem tragic, they are merely transitions, passages to new beginnings.
Embracing the Infinite
Death is but a concept, an idea shaped by our limited understanding of existence. In the grand scheme of infinity, where boundaries blur and time loses its grip, we find that we never truly cease to be. Instead, we transform, we evolve, we merge with the boundless. And in that realization, we find joy, for existence is a game, a play, an adventure without end.
“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.” – Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Poem
In the heart of the vast expanse,
A dance of stars, a fleeting glance,
Yet within, a universe grows,
Where the river of existence flows.
From birth to death, from start to end,
The lines of time begin to bend,
For in the heart of all that’s true,
The universe resides in you.
A cycle of joy, of love, of pain,
Yet through it all, we rise again,
For we are infinite, ever free,
Dancing through eternity.
