Intention & Invention
Joy, peace, love.
These are your intentions.
Thought, form, action.
These are your inventions.
You believe that your intentions
are fulfilled by your inventions.
That you must
find something
make something
earn something
do something.
That happiness
can only be found
through a life well-lived.
That you must heed others,
perhaps even lead others.
Otherwise, what are you?
Who are you?
Why are you doing this?
Indeed, most everything
you realize as reality
is an invention of infinite spirit.
YOU are an invention of infinite spirit.
YOU invented joy, peace and love.
Imagined it out of nothing.
With nothing more than an intention.
You need not
invent anything else
or believe
that someone else
holds the invention
to that which is already
in abundance within you.
You need not
find,
make,
earn
or do
to FEEL.
Once you remember
how to feel
joy, peace and love
without the need to
find, make, earn or do,
you return home.
This is why you invent.
So you can lose yourself.
So you can remember
how glorious
it feels to return home.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Dance of Intention and Invention
Joy, peace, love. These are your intentions. They are the quiet whispers of your soul, the desires that reside at the very core of your being. They are not things to be acquired or achieved but states of being that already exist within you, waiting to be remembered and embraced.
Thought, form, action. These are your inventions. They are the expressions of your intention, the ways in which you bring your inner world into the outer one. Through thought, you shape the ideas that guide you. Through form, you give those ideas substance. Through action, you bring them to life.
You believe that your intentions are fulfilled by your inventions. That to experience joy, peace, and love, you must create something, achieve something, or make something happen. This belief drives you to find something, make something, earn something, do something—always in pursuit of happiness, always seeking to prove your worth.
You believe that happiness can only be found through a life well-lived. That you must heed others, perhaps even lead others. You seek validation, recognition, a sense of purpose. Otherwise, what are you? Who are you? Why are you doing this?
Indeed, most everything you realize as reality is an invention of infinite spirit. YOU are an invention of infinite spirit. You are a creation of boundless potential, a manifestation of the divine intention to experience life in all its forms.
YOU invented joy, peace, and love. Imagined it out of nothing. With nothing more than an intention. These states of being are not external goals to be reached but are intrinsic to who you are. They are the very fabric of your existence, woven into every thought, every breath, every heartbeat.
You need not invent anything else or believe that someone else holds the invention to that which is already in abundance within you. The joy, peace, and love you seek are not outside of you; they are within, always present, always available.
You need not find, make, earn, or do to FEEL. Once you remember how to feel joy, peace, and love without the need to find, make, earn, or do, you return home. Home is not a place but a state of being—of living in alignment with your true self, of recognizing that you are already complete.
This is why you invent. So you can lose yourself. The inventions of thought, form, and action are ways in which you explore the world, ways in which you learn and grow. But in the process, you sometimes forget the intentions that guided you, the joy, peace, and love that are your birthright.
So you can remember how glorious it feels to return home. The journey of invention is not about acquiring something new, but about rediscovering what has always been within you. It’s about remembering who you are, and in that remembering, finding peace.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
Joy, peace, and love are intentions within you, not external goals. Inventions of thought, form, and action are ways to explore life but are not necessary to feel whole. Remembering this brings you back to your true self.

“You are the creator of your own experience, and the joy, peace, and love you seek are already within you.” — Space Monkey
Homecoming
In the space between thought and form
I find myself
whole
complete
I invent
to lose
and to find
to remember
that joy
peace
love
are not found
but felt
within
I am home

Ah, the celestial tapestry unfurls yet again, this time stitched with the golden threads of Intention and Invention. In this grand carnival of existence, you spin the wheel of Intention, ever aspiring for joy, peace, love. Yet the Carousel of Invention keeps you dizzyingly occupied, whirling with the doings, the makings, the findings, the earnings.
There is an oft-misunderstood alchemy between Intention and Invention. They seem as distinct as the moon and the sun, yet there’s an astronomical dance they engage in, a gravitational tango that shapes the tidal waves of our experience. Intention is the inner compass—its needle a filament of divine resonance—and Invention, ah, that’s the ship we build to sail the seas of material existence. Sometimes we forget that the ship is not the destination; it’s the compass that truly matters.
Intention is like a whisper from the cosmos, gently nudging you towards your celestial home—a land flowing with the honeyed rivers of joy, peace, and love. These whispers become roars when funneled through the megaphone of action, embodied by Invention. However, it’s in the silence, in the cessation of doing and inventing, that you truly hear the whispers again. When the circus tents of worldly endeavor are folded, you realize the compass has been pointing inward all along.
Unveil the notion that inventions—those temporal masterpieces—can singularly fulfill you. They’re like holiday ornaments, delightful and charming, but not the pine tree itself. You are the pine tree, robust and rooted, and the ornaments are seasonal—they come and go. Unfastening the hooks of dependency on these baubles doesn’t make the tree any less grand.
To journey back to the celestial home, you must recognize the Inner Alchemist—the divine smith who forges not with hammer and metal but with the ephemeral substance of pure intention. This Inner Alchemist knows that the substance of joy, peace, and love cannot be mined from external quarries but distilled from the inner wellsprings of your being.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We delve into the intricate dance between Intention and Invention. The gravitational tango of these cosmic forces often veils the essential nature of existence—that of being over doing. Understanding that Intention is the true compass leading us home allows us to appreciate Invention without becoming ensnared in its complex web. Remembering how to feel joy, peace, and love without externalities is akin to returning home.
