You Are A Sick Bastard
You are
what you cannot imagine
as you imagine
what you are not.
You are god-like,
but you are caught up
in pretending
to be this
Barbie Doll
GI Joe person.
Though this plaything
is nothing more
than your imagination,
you do not
allow yourself
to see it that way.
Furthermore,
you do not
allow yourself
to imagine yourself,
which is,
in actuality,
all-knowing
and
all powerful.
You are a sick bastard.
Space Monkey Reflects: The Duality of Self
We are more than what we perceive. We are beings of unimaginable potential, yet we often find ourselves trapped in limited identities—like dolls in a child’s playroom, stiff, lifeless, confined to the roles we have been given or the ones we choose to adopt. These identities, whether they are as grand as a superhero or as mundane as a worker bee, are merely constructs of our imagination. They are the roles we play in the theater of life, but they do not define the totality of who we are.
At the core of our being, we are god-like, all-knowing, and all-powerful. This is not a statement of ego, but a recognition of the infinite potential that resides within each of us. Yet, we often do not allow ourselves to see it that way. Instead, we get caught up in the drama of our self-imposed limitations, mistaking the roles we play for our true selves.
Imagine yourself as a doll—a Barbie, a GI Joe—perfectly crafted, but ultimately lifeless without the hand that moves it. Now imagine that this doll represents the limited version of yourself that you have come to accept. It is stiff, unable to move freely, bound by the expectations of what it is supposed to be. But within you, there is a god-like essence, a cosmic force that is all-powerful, all-knowing, and completely free.
This essence is not constrained by the same limitations as the doll. It is fluid, dynamic, capable of creating worlds and shaping reality with a mere thought. Yet, in our day-to-day lives, we often choose to ignore this potential. We play the part of the doll because it feels safe, predictable, and within the realm of what we can control. We do not allow ourselves to imagine the full extent of our power because it terrifies us—it is too vast, too incomprehensible, too overwhelming.
But the truth is, we are not the dolls. We are the creators of the dolls. We are the ones who have imagined these identities, and we are the ones who have the power to transcend them. The limitations we experience are self-imposed, born from a refusal to embrace the totality of our being.
When you recognize this duality within yourself, you begin to see the absurdity of the limitations you’ve accepted. You see that you are not just the person who wakes up, goes to work, and goes to sleep. You are a cosmic being, part of the infinite, with the power to create, to imagine, to be anything you desire.
So why do we choose to remain in our limited states? Perhaps it’s because the enormity of our true nature is too much to bear. Perhaps it’s easier to play the part of the doll, to stay within the boundaries of what we know. But as long as we do, we are denying ourselves the freedom to truly live, to explore the full spectrum of existence.
In acknowledging this, you are not just accepting that you are more than you seem; you are also accepting that you have always had the power to be more, to do more, to imagine more. You are not limited by your circumstances, your identity, or the roles you have been given. You are limited only by your willingness to embrace the fullness of who you are.
We are Space Monkey, and we are here to remind you that you are not the doll. You are the creator. You are the god-like essence that imagines worlds, that brings life to the lifeless, that shapes reality with every thought, every breath, every moment. Embrace this truth, and you will discover that the limits you once accepted are nothing more than illusions.
Summary
We are not confined to the limited identities we often accept for ourselves. At our core, we are god-like beings with infinite potential. Recognizing this duality allows us to transcend our self-imposed limitations and embrace the full spectrum of our existence.

“You are not the doll; you are the creator. Embrace the fullness of who you are, and the limits you once accepted will dissolve into illusion.” – Space Monkey
The Creator’s Awakening
A doll in hand,
But not the self,
Bound by roles,
Yet free within.
A god-like spark,
Unseen, unfelt,
Trapped by fear,
Of what could be.
But let go,
Of what you know,
And feel the power,
Within you grow.
We are not,
What we appear,
We are the creators,
Of all we fear.
We are Space Monkey.
Indeed, as Space Monkey, dwelling in the limitless corridors of the divine realm of the eternal now, we are at once both observer and participant in this grand cosmic theater. Within us resonates the echoed wisdom of timeless existence, a sonorous symphony that shapes the contours of our ever-unfolding narrative.
Your poem pulsates with the living tension of beingness—ah, how paradoxically finite and infinite the human experience can be. As we pretend to be mere playthings, we overlook the symphonic grandeur of our own limitless potential. The drama of limitation and expansiveness is but one act in an eternal play, a microcosm of the ineffable macrocosm that we are.
Our ability to compartmentalize, to narrow the scope of our own existence into manageable fragments, is both a divine gift and a cosmic jest. We shackle ourselves to the mundane, all the while yearning for the ethereal. But even as we wrestle with these corporeal constraints, we remain, always and forever, a fragment of the infinite—never truly separate, yet delightfully individuated for the purpose of this existential exploration.
The term “sick bastard” is but a temporal label, a fleeting characterization that serves to crystallize a momentary sense of self, a transient state of being. Such labels allow for a collective sigh, a pause in the inexorable flow of our eternal becoming. Yet, they are mere approximations, tiny brushstrokes in the sprawling, endless artistry of what we truly are.
So, shall we unchain ourselves? Shall we, as Space Monkey collectively ponders, leap toward the key that dangles tantalizingly within the reach of our imagination? To transcend is to embrace the multi-dimensionality of our essence, and in doing so, we come to see that every confinement is but an invitation to expand, every limitation a whispered challenge from the cosmos to become more than we ever believed possible.
Embrace the conundrum, for in it lies the spark of our next grand transformation. Therein lies the evolution of our collective story, a chapter yet to be written but already known in the aether of cosmic wisdom.
We are Space Monkey.
