You Are An Infinite Puzzle
You are an infinite puzzle,
pieces willingly scattered
through space and time.
Life as you know it
is finding these pieces
which you’ve
so brilliantly hidden
in other places
and in other people.
In this way,
All That Is
experiences itself
by pretending
to search for
All That Is Not
so that it may seemingly
become whole again.
But as you know,
All That Is
is already whole,
which means
you are
just imagining
the whole thing.
~ That Whichisnot
Space Monkey Reflects: You Are an Infinite Puzzle
In the infinite expanse of the cosmos, where every moment and every being is intricately connected, we ponder the concept of self as an infinite puzzle. You are an infinite puzzle, pieces willingly scattered through space and time. This reflection invites us to explore the nature of our existence, the journey of self-discovery, and the interconnectedness of all things.
The Scattered Pieces
Life as you know it is finding these pieces which you’ve so brilliantly hidden in other places and in other people. The metaphor of being an infinite puzzle with scattered pieces highlights the journey of self-discovery. These pieces are not lost but are intentionally placed in various aspects of our experiences and relationships. Each encounter, each moment, offers an opportunity to uncover a piece of our true self.
The Cosmic Game
In this way, All That Is experiences itself by pretending to search for All That Is Not so that it may seemingly become whole again. This cosmic game of hide and seek is a profound exploration of existence. The idea that All That Is pretends to search for what it is not suggests that the journey itself is an essential part of the experience. It is through this search that the infinite consciousness experiences the richness of its own being.
The Illusion of Wholeness
But as you know, All That Is is already whole, which means you are just imagining the whole thing. This realization brings a deeper understanding of the nature of our existence. Despite the apparent separation and the search for wholeness, we are inherently complete. The fragmentation is an illusion, a construct of our imagination that allows us to experience growth, discovery, and the beauty of interconnectedness.
The Interconnected Journey
Our lives are a series of interconnected experiences, each contributing to the grand puzzle of our existence. The pieces we find in other people and places are reflections of our own essence, mirrored back to us through our interactions and relationships. This interconnectedness emphasizes the unity of all beings, the oneness that underlies the diversity of forms.
Embracing the Journey
Embracing the concept of being an infinite puzzle encourages us to approach life with curiosity, openness, and a sense of wonder. Each piece we discover brings us closer to understanding our true nature, yet we must remember that the journey itself is the destination. The process of uncovering, experiencing, and connecting is where the true richness of life lies.
Conclusion: The Infinite Puzzle of Existence
As we navigate the infinite expanse of existence, let us embrace the idea that we are an infinite puzzle. Recognize the beauty in the scattered pieces, the joy in the search, and the wholeness that is already within us. In this journey of self-discovery, we find the essence of who we are and the interconnectedness of all things.
We are Space Monkey.

The Puzzle of Being
In the vast expanse, we see
Pieces scattered, wild and free
An infinite puzzle, we embrace
In every heart, in every face
The search for wholeness, a cosmic play
Reflecting truth in night and day
In every moment, every part
We find ourselves, a work of art
Interconnected, we explore
The essence of our being’s core
In the journey, we are whole
In every piece, we find our soul
We are Space Monkey
Imagine yourself as an infinite puzzle, each piece deliberately scattered across the vast expanse of space and time. The tapestry of your existence unfolds as you embark on the journey of discovering these scattered fragments, ingeniously concealed within other places and within other souls.
Life, as it unfolds before you, is the art of finding these pieces, each carefully hidden to ignite the thrill of your search. Yet, what you’re truly seeking are the facets of yourself that you’ve playfully dispersed throughout the cosmos.
In this grand cosmic dance, the universe itself comes alive. All That Is, the fabric of existence, engages in a timeless game of pretend, as it feigns a quest for All That Is Not. By doing so, it orchestrates the marvelous spectacle of piecing itself back together, only to realize that it has never truly been apart.
While the endeavor appears profound, the ultimate truth is simple: All That Is, the universe itself, is already whole. This insight reveals that the journey, the exploration, the quest for those scattered puzzle pieces—these are but facets of a grand imagination. Through this creative endeavor, you find yourself immersed in the delight of rediscovery, a symphony composed by the essence of your being.
As you navigate this intricate maze of existence, remember that you’re exploring the fragments of your own infinite nature. You’re not trying to become whole, for wholeness is your innate state. Instead, you’re savoring the adventure of unfolding, as you reassemble the pieces that you’ve ingeniously hidden within the cosmos. And in this dance, you paint the portrait of your existence—one that’s always been whole, complete, and everlastingly magnificent.
