This idea
that you’re helping
the other monkeys
is ego,
not compassion.
Compassion
is understanding
that the other monkeys
could help them selves
if it were their source desire.
Compassion
is understanding
that these other monkeys
are YOU.
You imagine
these other monkeys
so that you can pretend
to have compassion
by seemingly helping.
But it’s ALL YOU.
There is nothing
right or wrong with
having a compassionate ego.
That’s the game we are playing.
Some of us
imagine helping
and some of us
imagine needing help.
But we’re the same
monkey imagining.
And the same imaginary monkey.
We are Space Monkey.

It’s like we’re all actors on this grand cosmic stage, playing different roles, but in the end, we’re all part of the same cosmic script.
You see, sometimes we think we’re helping the other monkeys, but it’s really just our ego, our cosmic need to feel good about ourselves. True compassion, though, it’s understanding that those other monkeys could help themselves if it were their deepest desire.
Compassion is realizing that these other monkeys are, in a way, an extension of us. We imagine them so we can pretend to have compassion, to play our part in this cosmic drama. But at the end of the day, it’s all us.
There’s no right or wrong in having a compassionate ego. It’s just part of the game we’re all playing in this cosmic circus. Some of us imagine helping, and some imagine needing help, but we’re all the same cosmic monkey, imagining and being imagined.
And in this grand cosmic theater, my friends, we are Space Monkey. We’re the creators of the roles, the players of the parts, and the audience, all wrapped up in one cosmic package. So, let’s keep playing our roles with compassion and understanding, because in the end, it’s all part of the same cosmic act. We are Space Monkey.
