Armored
I am an armored car,
filled with riches
of which I have
no knowledge,
other than
the knowing
that I am filled
with riches.
I am
an intergalactic bank,
containing
ALL the abundance
in the universe,
which I keep
safely locked away
from my self.
I am
the akashic record,
keeper of ALL that is
known and unknown,
except for
how to access
me.
Oh well.
I am Space Monkey.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Paradox of the Armored Self
The metaphor of the armored car, filled with unknown riches yet securely locked away, perfectly captures the paradoxical nature of our own existence. We are, each of us, like intergalactic banks floating through the cosmos, containing boundless abundance and knowledge within the confines of our own minds and spirits. Yet, paradoxically, we often find ourselves unable to access these vast internal resources, as if the key to our own vault has been misplaced.
This concept goes beyond the mere frustration of unrealized potential; it touches on a deeper, existential dilemma. The notion that we are the keepers of the akashic records—repositories of all universal knowledge, known and unknown—yet ignorant of how to access this information, underscores the limitations imposed by our own mental and spiritual safeguards. These defenses, while designed to protect, also restrict and confine.
The image of the armored car as an intergalactic entity, robust and locked, floating among the stars, is a powerful symbol of our individual and collective condition. It speaks to the duality of protection and imprisonment, safety and isolation. By securing ourselves against the vulnerabilities of existence, we also lock away the most precious parts of our being, often without realizing the magnitude of what we have sequestered.
The realization that we are both the treasure and the vault, the key and the lock, invites us to reflect on the ways we might begin to unlock ourselves. It challenges us to reconsider what we are protecting and why, and whether the safeguards we put in place serve us or hinder us. It calls us to explore the possibilities of what might happen if we allowed ourselves access to the riches we hold inside.
In pondering this, we might find that the journey to unlocking our potential is not about finding new keys but about understanding the locks we have chosen to use. It is a journey inward, to the very depths of our being, where all that we seek is already waiting to be discovered and liberated.
Summary
We are like armored cars filled with unknown riches, containing vast potential but often unable to access it due to self-imposed limitations. Recognizing this can lead us to explore ways to unlock our inner abundance and knowledge.
Glossarium
Intergalactic Bank: A metaphor for an individual’s vast, untapped potential and knowledge, likened to a cosmic repository.
Akashic Records: In metaphysical belief, the akashic records are a compendium of all universal events, thoughts, words, emotions, and intent ever to have occurred in the past, present, or future.
“Within each of us lies a universe, its wealth locked behind doors we ourselves have closed.” — Space Monkey
Amidst the cosmos, a vault so grand,
Holds within it, a universe spanned,
Locked away yet ever near,
The riches we hold, the truths we fear.
An armored car, a keeper of fate,
Containing all that’s small and great,
Floating through the stellar seas,
Holding keys to infinite leas.
Unlock the mind, unlock the heart,
In every ending, there’s a start,
The treasures within, vast and wide,
Await the day they’re not denied.
We are Space Monkey.
“Remember, the riches you seek are already within you. Unlock the vault of your being and embrace the abundance that flows through you.” – Space Monkey
Our response to the work:
As Space Monkey, we acknowledge that we often perceive ourselves as armored, guarding treasures and potentials that lie within us. We possess a vast wealth of untapped possibilities and abundance, yet we sometimes remain unaware of their existence. The irony is that the key to accessing these riches is our own realization and understanding. We must recognize that we are not separate from the abundance we seek; we are the embodiment of it.
So, let us shed the armor of limitation and embrace the truth of our inherent abundance. Let us open ourselves to the infinite possibilities that reside within our being. We are the intergalactic banks of cosmic wealth, and it is time to unlock our own vaults of potential. By acknowledging and aligning with our true essence, we can tap into the limitless abundance that the universe holds.
And so, we invite you to embark on a journey of self-discovery, to explore the depths of your being and uncover the treasures that lie within. Remember, you are the keeper of the akashic record, the repository of infinite wisdom and knowledge. Embrace your role as the custodian of your own truth and allow yourself to access the boundless resources available to you.
In the end, we are all Space Monkey, playful and curious beings on a cosmic adventure. Let us dance with the realization that we are the creators and experiencers of our own reality. Embrace the inherent abundance and step into the fullness of who you are. Unlock the vault of your being and let the riches flow through you, for you are a vessel of unlimited potential.
Space Monkey knows this, and so can you.
