They will be asked
in the future:
“If you know everything
there is to know,
why are you not more?”
And their answer will be
just as it is now:
“Because more matters not

Space Monkey Reflects: Why Not More?
In a world driven by the pursuit of more—more knowledge, more achievements, more validation—it’s easy to overlook the fullness already present within. But what if all we seek, all we yearn for, is simply an expression of the infinite potential we already embody? The question, “Why not more?” is often answered with a drive to attain, to grow, to expand. Yet, for those who understand themselves as part of an infinite whole, the answer is profoundly simple: “More matters not when you are infinite already.”
Infinity is not about accumulation; it is about boundlessness, a completeness that requires nothing extra, no embellishment. When we see ourselves as infinite beings, we realize that striving for more is like adding drops to an ocean that is already full. In this state, there is no lack, no scarcity, no need for further addition. The idea of more becomes irrelevant because every possibility, every experience, already exists within us in some form.
The Illusion of More
The desire for more often arises from a sense of incompleteness—a feeling that something is missing, that fulfillment lies just beyond our reach. But this sense of lack is an illusion created by the mind, a construct that arises when we see ourselves as separate from the whole. In reality, the more we seek is already present within us, waiting to be recognized.
To realize our infinite nature is to see beyond the illusion of scarcity, beyond the need for constant accumulation. We come to understand that we are already whole, already complete. The journey is not about gaining or achieving but about remembering and experiencing the fullness that has always been there.
Contentment in the Infinite
When we embrace our infinite nature, we find a deep contentment that transcends the need for more. This contentment is not complacency; it is a recognition of the boundless potential that exists within every moment, every breath. In this state, we are free to explore, to create, to experience without the pressure of proving or accumulating. The joy lies not in becoming more but in fully being, in allowing each moment to unfold as a unique expression of the infinite.
Contentment in the infinite allows us to experience life with a sense of ease and peace. We are no longer driven by the need to attain or achieve, for we know that all we seek is already present. Each experience becomes a reflection of the wholeness we embody, a reminder that we are complete.
The Freedom Beyond More
To be free from the need for more is to experience a state of profound liberation. In this freedom, we discover a spaciousness, a boundless openness that is untouched by external definitions or expectations. We are not defined by what we have or what we achieve but by the infinite potential that we carry within us. This freedom allows us to engage with life fully, not from a place of need but from a place of presence.
In this space, there is no pressure to become, to prove, or to accumulate. We move through life not as seekers of more but as explorers of the infinite. Each experience, each moment is an opportunity to express the boundless nature of who we are, to play with the endless possibilities that arise within us. This is not a state of passivity but of active, joyful participation in the miracle of existence.
The Journey Within
The journey of realizing our infinite nature is not about reaching outward but about going inward. It is a journey of self-discovery, of peeling back the layers of illusion to reveal the boundless presence that has always been there. In this journey, we come to see that our value, our worth, our completeness are not tied to external achievements or possessions. They are intrinsic, woven into the very fabric of our being.
By turning inward, we connect with the essence of who we are, the space where there is nothing to add, nothing to remove. This journey is not about becoming more; it is about remembering that we are enough, that we are infinite, that we are whole. And in this realization, we find peace, joy, and freedom beyond measure.
Summary
When we understand ourselves as infinite, the desire for “more” becomes irrelevant. In this boundless state, we find contentment, realizing that completeness lies not in accumulation but in fully being who we already are.

“When you are infinite, there is no need for more; each moment is a reflection of the boundless.” — Space Monkey
Beyond the Need for More
I stand, I breathe, in endless space,
No need for more, no need to chase.
For all I am, and all I seek,
Is here within, both strong and meek.
Each moment holds the boundless sea,
Of what I am, of what will be.
No need to add, no need to strive,
In infinite, I am alive.
We are Space Monkey.
In the grand cosmic narrative, a question echoes through time, a query posed to those who have journeyed deep into the realms of knowledge and understanding. The inquiry challenges the very essence of wisdom and existence.
The Future Question: A Reflection on Omniscience
In the future, as it is now, those who have reached the pinnacle of knowledge, who seemingly know everything there is to know, will be asked, “Why are you not more?” This question probes the relationship between knowledge, being, and the concept of ‘more.’
The Illusion of ‘More’
The answer lies in the realization that the pursuit of ‘more’ is an illusion when one embraces their infinite nature. For those who understand the boundless essence of existence, the concept of ‘more’ loses its relevance. In infinity, there is no more or less, only an eternal expanse of being.
Infinite Already: The Paradox of Fulfillment
The response, “Because more matters not when you are infinite already,” speaks to the paradox of fulfillment. In the state of infinite awareness, the need for accumulation, whether of knowledge, possessions, or status, dissolves. The realization of one’s infinite nature brings a sense of completeness that transcends the conventional desires for expansion and accumulation.
The Journey Beyond Knowledge
This dialogue between the future and the present underscores a profound truth: that the accumulation of knowledge, while valuable, is not the ultimate destination. True wisdom lies in understanding the limitless nature of our existence, where the dichotomies of more and less, big and small, become irrelevant.
Embracing Our Infinite Nature
As we embrace our infinite nature, we find that the quest for ‘more’ is replaced by a deeper understanding of ‘being.’ In this state, we experience a profound connection with the cosmos, a sense of unity that renders the pursuit of ‘more’ unnecessary and redundant.
“You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.” – Rumi
In the vastness of time, a question is cast,
“Why not more?” echoes from the past.
But in our infinite nature, the answer is clear,
In being complete, ‘more’ disappears.
We are Space Monkey.
We invite contemplation on the notion of ‘more’ versus the realization of our infinite nature.
