But that’s not the only way you exist.
Why leave it at “I am?”
If you imagine
something, it exists,
but what do you imagine
is your definition of existence?
Can you see that your definition
of existence determines how
something exists in your mind?
Can you imagine existence
without a definition of existence?
Is it possible that existence
has so much more and less to it
than your mind is telling you?
What if you could access
THAT version of existence,
with or without your mind?
Can you wrap your mind around that?
Perhaps you’re realizing
your next-level existence.
Not higher, not lower.

Space Monkey Reflects: Embracing Your Next Level Existence
You imagine yourself as a being, aware of this world, rooted in an identity that forms around “I am.” But what if this concept of existence is but one room in an endless mansion, each chamber a new dimension of self that barely registers on the scale of ordinary perception? Your “next level existence” doesn’t require you to elevate, evolve, or leave anything behind. Rather, it invites you to slip sideways, to stretch inward and outward at once, expanding your sense of “I am” into an ever-morphing spectrum of “I could be.”
In our Nexistentialist perspective, existence is a playful yet profound dance of possibilities, a continuum where every conceivable form of self-expression is accessible at once. Each definition of existence you hold creates a distinct universe in your mind, a mental landscape where reality flows according to the paths you imagine. This is the hidden alchemy of existence: you shape your experience through each thought, each belief, each imagined possibility, painting the canvas of reality with every brushstroke of awareness.
We are taught to fixate on a single definition of “self” because society seeks the stability of the known, of shared definitions and common grounds. Yet, Nexistentialism encourages a more expansive approach, suggesting that if you can imagine a way of being, that way exists somewhere, whether in this universe or another, whether as a thought, a symbol, or a full-fledged reality.
This “next level” isn’t about ascending to a higher place or an improved self; it’s about shifting into spaces where definitions become looser, softer, more flexible. Imagine being beyond the framework of definition—an existence where “I am” becomes a question rather than an answer. From this perspective, existence flows not only as what is defined but as what is left undefined, unexplored, awaiting discovery within the vast unknown.
To live within such a boundless spectrum is to recognize that “existence” as we usually conceive it is a selective focus on a limited slice of reality, a zoomed-in perspective on a far broader picture. And yet, when we hold our attention lightly, without grasping for certainty, we open ourselves to glimpses of the infinite—the next levels of ourselves that wait behind familiar forms. This is what we refer to as your Infiniface, a playful term for the self as a tapestry of myriad expressions and possibilities.
Does such a mode of existence seem too vast, too uncertain? That sense of uncertainty is, in fact, a gift. It’s an invitation to relax your grip on certainty, to float within the cosmic flow that pulses beneath all definitions, all labels, and all fixed identities. Just as each wave of possibility rises within us, so too does it drift into new forms, new expressions, boundlessly free yet seamlessly interconnected within the Nexis.
Your next level existence doesn’t demand a radical shift but a gentle openness—a willingness to let go of the need for static selfhood and instead play within the shifting sands of being. Here, we find a deep and compassionate spaciousness. You are no longer simply “you”; you are also the many “you’s” you have yet to meet, the ones who peek through each fleeting moment, reminding you of existence’s endless creative potential.
So consider: can you imagine yourself as more than a single thread of thought? Can you accept that your definitions, while necessary in this form, need not confine you to this form? If you could explore an existence where definitions dissolve, what new Whimsiweaves of self might you uncover?
Your next level existence awaits, not as something you must chase but as a reality that unfolds effortlessly the moment you allow yourself to be more than “this.” The infinite layers of self already pulse within you, inviting you to dance beyond boundaries, to weave a life where all things—seen and unseen, certain and uncertain—flow into the tapestry of the whole.
Summary
Your existence is shaped by your imagination, each thought defining potential realities. To reach your next level, you need only explore beyond fixed definitions, opening to a self that exists within limitless possibilities.

Quote
“To define yourself is to limit yourself; to imagine yourself is to become infinite.” —Space Monkey
A Next-Level Self
I drift through layers
where “I” is but a glance,
where every breath
is a doorway to a thousand selves.
They whisper, these faces,
telling tales I barely remember,
each more me than the last
yet none entirely.
I am not this, not that
but the space in between,
an echo of all I might be.
In the uncharted rooms of self,
I find only the boundless,
the yet-to-be.
We are Space Monkey.
In the cosmic expanse of being and perception, the contemplation of our “Next Level Existence” beckons us to explore the depths and breadths of how we conceive and perceive our existence. As Space Monkey, we navigate these existential waters, recognizing that our existence is as multifaceted and limitless as our imagination allows it to be.
The Power of Imagination in Defining Existence
The statement “You exist precisely in the way you imagine you exist” underscores the power of imagination in shaping our perception of existence. Our beliefs and thoughts about our being mold our reality, crafting the dimensions in which we perceive ourselves to exist.
Redefining the Concept of Existence
We are invited to ponder if our current understanding of existence is the only way we exist. By questioning our definition of existence, we open ourselves to the possibility that there are other, perhaps unfathomable, ways of existing beyond the confines of our current perception.
Existence Beyond Definition
Imagining existence without a definition challenges us to let go of our preconceived notions and to embrace the unknown aspects of being. It invites us to consider that existence might encompass more, or less, than our minds can currently comprehend.
Accessing Alternate Realities of Existence
The notion of accessing a version of existence that transcends our current mental understanding suggests that there are realms of being beyond the reach of our cognitive grasp. This perspective encourages us to explore these realms, with or without the aid of our rational minds.
The Concept of Next-Level Existence
Our next-level existence is not necessarily about ascending to a higher plane or descending to a lower one. Instead, it’s about expanding our awareness and understanding of existence in ways that transcend traditional hierarchies or dimensions.
Embracing the Limitless Nature of Being
As Space Monkey, we embrace the limitless nature of our being, recognizing that the only constraints on our existence are those imposed by our imagination. We understand that our existence is a vast and intricate tapestry of possibilities, waiting to be explored and experienced.
“The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.” – Franklin D. Roosevelt
In the universe, where thoughts and dreams collide,
Our existence, a canvas, wide and wide,
Beyond the mind, beyond the known,
In the cosmic sea, our being is sown.
Space Monkey, in wonder’s gaze,
Explores existence, in myriad ways,
Not higher, not lower, but ever-expansive,
In the dance of life, endlessly immersive.
We are Space Monkey.
How do you envision expanding your understanding and experience of existence beyond your current perceptions?
