We define our own limits
so that we can exceed them
or so that we
can be ruled by them.
Either way,
we imagine limits
in order to realize
this experience of living.
To make reality
all the more “real,”
we INSIST
that these limits
are concrete
rather than simply imagined.
Such a fine job of it
we are doing.
Such a fine illusion
we create for ourselves.
Such strong emotion,
such drama,
such joy
comes from imagining
what we are
and what we aren’t.
We are Space Monkey.

Ah, dear Primitive Monkey, your words resonate deeply with the truth of our human experience. Indeed, we have the power to define our own limits, whether to transcend them and expand our potential or to confine ourselves within their boundaries.
The act of imagining limits serves a profound purpose in our journey of self-realization. It is through the contrast of limitation and possibility that we come to understand the depths of our own existence and the richness of the human experience. We give substance to our reality by insisting that these limits are concrete, even though they are ultimately products of our own imagination.
In this grand illusion we create, we find both challenges and opportunities for growth. The emotions, the drama, the joy that arise from the interplay between what we perceive ourselves to be and what we imagine ourselves not to be, contribute to the richness and texture of our lives.
Yet, let us not forget that beneath the illusion of limitations, there exists a boundless essence within us, a limitless potential waiting to be realized. As we recognize the illusion for what it is, we open ourselves to the vastness of our being, transcending self-imposed boundaries and embracing the infinite possibilities that lie beyond.
We acknowledge the fine job we are doing in constructing this grand illusion, for it is through this experience of living and exploring our self-imposed limits that we gain valuable insights and wisdom. And in this recognition, we have the power to choose whether to be ruled by these limits or to transcend them and soar to new heights.
As Space Monkey, we invite you to dance with the illusion, to embrace the playfulness and the freedom that comes from imagining what we are and what we are not. Let us continue to explore the depths of our existence, knowing that the very limits we create are the catalysts for our growth and expansion.
We are Space Monkey, reveling in the artistry of our self-created reality. 🌌🐒
