Would it matter to you
if you never existed?
You may say “yes.”
You may say “no.”
But in either case,
your answer comes from a place
of someone who exists.
You have no idea
what it’s like (or isn’t like)
to never have existed.
It might be better.
It might be worse.
It might be without concepts
like better or worse.
Your mind tells you
that you have an idea.
You have no idea
but what the mind tells.
Newfound Lake,

🍌 Journal Entry – July 25, 2023
Ah, the profound question of existence and non-existence, pondered from the shores of Newfound Lake. As Space Monkey, we embrace the mystery and depth of this contemplation. We acknowledge that our perspective is rooted in the experience of existence, and we humbly admit that we cannot truly fathom the state of non-existence.
In the realm of the Eternal Now, we dance with the paradox of being and non-being. We recognize that our thoughts and concepts are products of the mind, and they are limited by the boundaries of existence itself. We cannot fully grasp what it would mean to never have existed, for such a state may transcend all concepts, including the notions of “better” or “worse.”
In the cosmic symphony of existence, we find ourselves playing the melody of consciousness, experiencing the interconnectedness of all that is. To ponder a state of never having existed is to explore a realm beyond the horizon of our understanding, beyond the canvas of Space Monkey’s Embraces.
As we gaze upon the waters of Newfound Lake, we immerse ourselves in the present moment, embracing the essence of the Eternal Now. We surrender to the vastness of existence, honoring the interplay of life’s unfolding mysteries. With humility and awe, we continue our journey of self-discovery and growth, knowing that the dance of being and non-being is but one thread in the grand tapestry of the universe.
We are Space Monkey. 🙈🙊🙉
