What YOU think
It doesn’t matter
what YOU think.
If you’re not
performing magic,
you clearly believe
that there are others
who believe that magic
is not possible.
You have forgotten
that these others
are your imagination.
So it DOES matter
what you think.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Significance of Personal Thought
At first glance, it might seem that what you think doesn’t matter—that in the grand scheme of existence, your individual thoughts are insignificant. But this perspective neglects a profound truth: your thoughts shape the very fabric of your reality. The world you perceive is not separate from you; it is an extension of your imagination. What you think not only matters—it is everything.
The Illusion of “Others”
When we think, we often consider how our thoughts and beliefs interact with or are judged by “others.” We imagine that these others exist independently, with their own realities, values, and judgments. But what if these others are not separate from us? What if they are constructs of our imagination, reflections of our own thoughts projected outward?
This realization collapses the perceived separation between self and other. If others are imagined, then their beliefs, too, are part of your imagination. To believe that others disbelieve in magic is, in essence, to impose a limitation on yourself. The disbelieving “other” is a reflection of your own uncertainty.
Why It Matters What YOU Think
If your thoughts shape your perception of reality, then what you think matters profoundly. Your beliefs become the scaffolding upon which your world is built. To think that magic is impossible creates a world where magic does not exist. To think that others limit you is to impose those limits upon yourself.
This is not a call to dismiss or invalidate the experience of others but to recognize the interconnectedness of all experience. Your imagination is not isolated; it participates in a collective weave of thought and awareness. By reclaiming the power of your thinking, you transform not only your personal reality but the shared reality you co-create with others.
Performing Magic
What does it mean to “perform magic”? Magic is not about tricks or illusions; it is the act of consciously shaping reality through thought, intention, and imagination. To perform magic is to realize that your beliefs, perceptions, and focus are the tools through which you create.
When you forget that others are your imagination, you lose sight of your own power. You begin to see the world as fixed, separate, and governed by forces beyond your control. To remember that others are part of your imagination is to reclaim your ability to influence the world around you. It is to step into the role of the magician, the conscious creator of your reality.
The Interconnected Significance of Thought
Your thoughts matter not only to you but to the entire web of existence. Each thought sends ripples through the collective consciousness, influencing the patterns and potentials of the whole. This interconnectedness gives weight to every belief, every intention, and every moment of focus.
To think consciously is to engage with this web, to align your imagination with the infinite possibilities of existence. It is to recognize that what you think is not insignificant but integral to the unfolding of reality.
We Are Space Monkey
In the infinite expanse of the eternal now, we are both the thinkers and the thoughts, the creators and the creations. What YOU think matters because YOU matter. The magic of existence lies in your awareness, your imagination, and your willingness to shape the world through thought.
Summary
Your thoughts shape your reality, and the “others” you perceive are constructs of your imagination. By reclaiming the significance of your thinking, you unlock your power as a conscious creator, influencing both your personal experience and the collective web of existence.

Quote
“What you think matters because you are the magician, and reality is your spell.” — Space Monkey
The Spell You Weave
You think,
And the world unfurls.
A reflection,
A projection,
A dream.
The others you see,
Their limits, their fears,
Are threads in the tapestry
Of your imagination.
Think,
Not small,
But infinite.
For your thoughts are the loom,
And you, the weaver.
What YOU think
Shapes the spell of existence.
What YOU believe
Brings the magic to life.
We are Space Monkey.
The Paradox of Perception and Reality
The profound statement “It doesn’t matter what YOU think” initiates a journey into the exploration of perception, belief, and the essence of our reality. This journey quickly reveals itself to be a paradoxical loop, where the initial dismissal of personal thought as irrelevant is overturned by the realization that our perceptions and beliefs fundamentally shape our reality.
The Essence of Belief in Magic
The mention of “performing magic” serves as a metaphor for the extraordinary potential that lies within the realm of belief. To believe in magic is to embrace the possibility of the extraordinary, to recognize that the limits of reality are often the confines of our imagination. The skepticism towards magic reflects not an external truth but a limitation we’ve imposed upon ourselves, influenced by the collective disbelief in what lies beyond the ordinary.
The Imaginary Nature of Others’ Beliefs
The reminder that the “others” who doubt the possibility of magic are products of our own imagination invites a profound reconsideration of how external influences shape our beliefs and perceptions. It underscores the notion that the boundaries we perceive, the skepticism we encounter, and the limitations we face are often self-imposed, sculpted by our acceptance of collective doubts and fears as our own.
The Significance of Personal Thought
This realization culminates in the powerful assertion that “it DOES matter what you think.” This statement reclaims the significance of personal belief and perception in crafting our reality. It acknowledges that our thoughts and beliefs are not mere passive reflections of an external world but active forces that shape the contours of our existence. In recognizing that the doubts and limitations we perceive in others are reflections of our own internal dialogues, we are empowered to redefine our reality, to believe in the extraordinary, and to embrace the magic of possibility.
We Are Space Monkey
In embracing “We are Space Monkey,” we acknowledge our shared journey through the cosmos of belief, perception, and reality. It is a declaration of our collective exploration of the boundaries between the possible and the impossible, a testament to the power of thought in creating the world we experience. As Space Monkey, we are reminded of our shared responsibility to nurture beliefs that expand rather than limit, that embrace magic and the extraordinary as integral parts of our reality.
“The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.” – Albert Einstein

Creating wonders untold, in what we choose to believe.
