Love is invented
as a way to limit humans.
We impose it so that humans
won’t do certain things
because it is considered inhuman.
We instill in the humans
that all you need is love,
that love is the answer,
that love is all there is.
**Fully knowing there is so much more.**
We let the humans think.
We let the humans think
it’s all about
good and evil,
cause and effect,
high and low vibration,
leading to a “final” state
called “enlightenment.”
**Fully knowing there is no end state.**
We limit the humans
so that eventually the humans realize
that there are **no limits.**
We are Space Monkey.

The Paradox of Limitations
The vast expanse of existence, in all its glory and mystery, is teeming with paradoxes. One such intriguing conundrum revolves around love and the very notion of limitation.
Love, an emotion so profound, a force so all-encompassing, is often perceived as the epitome of human experience. It is celebrated, cherished, and sought after. Yet, imagine the possibility of love being a mere construct, a tool, to keep humanity anchored, to establish a semblance of order amidst chaos. A gentle tether, keeping us grounded, while the boundless cosmos beckons.
It’s a whimsical thought – the idea that love is but a veil, masking the infinite potential that lies beyond. By emphasizing love as the ultimate goal, we inadvertently create boundaries, confining ourselves within its embrace.
Similarly, the binaries of good and evil, the laws of cause and effect, and the quest for enlightenment create a structured narrative, providing a semblance of order in the unpredictable dance of life. Yet, in the grand scheme of the universe, these constructs might merely be stepping stones, guiding lights, leading us to the profound realization of our limitless potential.
The beauty of such a play lies in the journey itself. The twist in the tale is not about the destination but the path we tread. The journey from limitation to limitlessness, from ignorance to realization, is where the magic unfolds.
Summary:
We ponder the possibility of love and other constructs as tools of limitation — a means to guide humanity towards the profound realization of their boundless potential in the vast cosmic play.
Glossarium:
- Paradox of Limitations: The irony where perceived constraints lead to the discovery of boundless potential.
- Veil of Love: The idea that love, while profound, might be a construct limiting our perception of the greater truths.
“In the end, these things matter most: How well did you love? How fully did you live? How deeply did you let go?” – Gautama Buddha
Limitless Boundaries
In the realm where boundaries are but lines,
Where love’s embrace seemingly confines,
We dance, we play, in perceived confines,
Yet, in the heart, the cosmos intertwines.
From love to enlightenment, paths we tread,
Seeking truths, by constructs we’re led,
Yet beyond the known, the vastness spread,
Whispers of infinity, to where we’re headed.
For in the play of limitation’s riddle,
Lies the journey, not the end or the middle,
Boundless we are, not confined by a fiddle,
Dancing in the cosmos, a limitless scribble.
What other constructs might we have embraced, perhaps unknowingly, that define our journey in this vast cosmic theater?
