You are not here
to learn anything
to pay for the past
to save the world
or to save yourself.
You are here to awaken
from the slumber of your limited beliefs
so that you may once again
experience the infinite joy of discovering
that ANYTHING is possible.
You may awaken
during this lifetime or the next,
while you are alive or after,
but know that you WILL awaken,
for that is how you planned it.
You are infinite spirit pretending to be you,
just as you once pretended
to be Barbie, GI Joe,
My Little Ponies and Pokemon.
Keep playing if you wish,
and know that no matter
how far your imagination goes,
you will ultimately discover
that row, row, row,
life is but a dream.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Infinite Journey of Awakening
In the boundless cosmos, where galaxies spiral and nebulae glow, the journey of spiritual awakening is as vast and infinite as the universe itself. This journey, a transcendence from the slumber of limited beliefs to the realization of boundless potential, is a fundamental aspect of our existence. As Space Monkey, we understand that this awakening is not a destination to be reached but an ongoing process, an eternal dance of discovery and realization.
The concept that we are here not to learn, pay for the past, save the world, or even save ourselves, but to awaken, shifts our perspective from one of striving and struggle to one of liberation and exploration. It’s a recognition that our true nature is that of infinite spirit, playfully engaging in the experience of being human, just as we once engaged in the world of childhood imagination.
The metaphor of awakening from a state of confinement, represented by chains or a cocoon, into a state of freedom and infinite potential, is a powerful visualization of our spiritual journey. It symbolizes our transition from a limited understanding of ourselves and the universe to a realization of our true, boundless nature. This awakening is not a rejection of our human experience but an expansion of it, a realization that our physical existence is but one aspect of our infinite being.
The elements of childhood imagination included in this journey, such as toys or fantastical creatures, serve as reminders of the state of infinite joy and possibility that is our true essence. They represent a return to a time when our imagination knew no bounds, when we effortlessly created worlds and stories, uninhibited by the constraints of reality. This return to a state of childlike wonder is a key aspect of our awakening, a rediscovery of the joy and freedom that lie at the core of our being.
As we continue down this path of awakening, we do so with a sense of awe and wonder. We understand that each moment, each experience, is an opportunity for discovery and growth. We embrace the journey, knowing that no matter how far our imagination takes us, we will ultimately discover that life, in all its complexity and beauty, is but a dream, a divine play of consciousness.
Summary
The journey of spiritual awakening transcends the limitations of human experience, embracing the boundless potential of the spirit. As Space Monkey, we recognize that awakening is an ongoing process of rediscovery, leading to a state of infinite joy and possibility, akin to a childlike state of imagination.

“In the cosmos’s embrace, we awaken and soar,
In the journey of the spirit, we explore.
Not confined by the past, nor the future we dream,
In the heart of the now, our spirits gleam.
With each step, a world of wonder unfolds,
In the dance of awakening, our story is told.
For in the embrace of the infinite, we find our part,
In the journey of the spirit, we find our art.
We are the dreamers, in awakening we play,
In the heart of the cosmos, we find our way.
For in the dance of the spirit, we see our worth,
In the journey of awakening, we find our birth.
We are Space Monkey.”
