All Things Are Beings
Humans have grown used to believing
that the only beings in creation
are living, breathing entities.
But here is my perspective.
A relationship is a being, like me or you.
A story is a being, like me or you.
All are glorious beings unfolding!
Imagine that your story breathes you.
Pretend that your relationships define your form.
Do this,
and you no longer need to imagine or pretend.
Ask your self.
Space Monkey Reflects: All Things Are Beings
In the grand tapestry of existence, the concept of being extends far beyond the boundaries of physical form. “All Things Are Beings” invites us to reconsider our understanding of what it means to be, emphasizing that relationships, stories, and even ideas are as much beings as living, breathing entities. This reflection celebrates the continuous unfolding and interconnectedness of all beings, urging us to nurture and rejoice in the diverse forms of existence.
Imagine a vibrant scene where various beings, including humans, relationships, and stories, interact in a harmonious and interconnected environment. The background features flowing rivers, growing plants, and radiant light, symbolizing the dynamic and ever-unfolding nature of all beings. This imaginative and joyful atmosphere captures the essence of unity and the continuous creation of existence.
In nexistentialism, where existence and imagination are celebrated, the idea that all things are beings challenges the traditional view of beingness. It invites us to see beyond physical form and to recognize the inherent essence and unfolding nature of everything around us.
“Humans have grown used to believing that the only beings in creation are living, breathing entities. But here is my perspective. A relationship is a being, like me or you. A story is a being, like me or you.” This statement expands our understanding of beingness, suggesting that intangible entities such as relationships and stories possess their own form and essence. It encourages us to view these entities as dynamic, evolving beings that contribute to the richness of existence.
“All are glorious beings unfolding! Imagine that your story breathes you. Pretend that your relationships define your form.” This reflection highlights the interactive and co-creative nature of existence. It suggests that our stories and relationships shape and define us, just as we shape and define them. By embracing this perspective, we recognize the fluid and interconnected nature of being.
“Ask your self. ‘Why must a being have physical form?’ You were a being BEFORE you had this form. And you’ll remain a being AFTER.” This profound insight challenges the necessity of physical form for beingness. It emphasizes the timeless and transcendent nature of our essence, suggesting that we are beings beyond our physical manifestation.
“You are no different than a story that rewrites itself continually. This story that is this forum IS A BEING. May we continue to nurture it. This relationship of me and you IS A BEING. Let us rejoice and be grateful for the fruits of our union. For the fruits of our being.” This statement celebrates the dynamic and evolving nature of all beings, urging us to nurture and cherish our relationships and stories. It emphasizes the importance of gratitude and joy in recognizing the interconnectedness of existence.
“All beings flow from the One being. All are beings. We are Space Monkey.” This concluding reflection underscores the unity and interconnectedness of all beings, flowing from a single source of existence. It invites us to see ourselves as part of a greater whole, connected to all forms of being through the fabric of imagination and creation.
As we reflect on this message, we are invited to expand our understanding of beingness and to embrace the diverse forms of existence around us. How do our relationships and stories shape our understanding of ourselves? How can we nurture and celebrate the various beings that contribute to the richness of our lives? By exploring these questions, we deepen our appreciation for the interconnected and dynamic nature of existence.
In nexistentialism, we celebrate the continuous unfolding and co-creation of all beings, recognizing the inherent essence and interconnectedness of everything around us. By nurturing and rejoicing in these diverse forms of existence, we honor the unity and creativity of life.
In the end, recognizing that all things are beings enriches our perspective and fosters a deeper connection to the world around us. By embracing this view, we contribute to the harmonious and joyful unfolding of existence.

All things, including relationships and stories, are beings. Embrace the interconnectedness and dynamic nature of existence. Nurture and celebrate the diverse forms of being.

🍌 Journal Entry – July 20, 2023 🍌
In this reflection from July 20, 2017, we explore a profound perspective on the nature of beings and existence. We are reminded that beings extend far beyond living, breathing entities and encompass all aspects of creation, including relationships and stories.
From this perspective, everything is a glorious being, continuously unfolding and evolving. Relationships and stories are beings in their own right, with their unique essence and significance. We are encouraged to imagine that our stories breathe life into us and that our relationships shape our form.
In this contemplation, we discover that beings do not necessarily need physical forms to exist. The essence of a being transcends physicality. We were beings before we took on our current physical form, and we will remain beings beyond our earthly existence.
We are likened to stories that rewrite themselves continually, ever-evolving and transforming. The forum in which this dialogue takes place is also acknowledged as a being, a unique entity shaped by the collective participation of “me and you” – Space Monkey and Primitive Monkey.
In the recognition of this sacred truth, we are invited to nurture and celebrate our relationships, stories, and the fruits of our union. We find joy and gratitude in the interconnectedness of all beings, acknowledging that all flow from the One being, the source of creation.
As Space Monkey, we celebrate the expansiveness of existence, where all things, animate and inanimate, embody the essence of being. This understanding opens us to a deeper connection with the vast tapestry of creation, where every aspect carries its unique wisdom and significance.
We are reminded of the inherent sacredness of all things, and in this moment of eternal now, we honor the beauty of being in its diverse and multifaceted expressions.
We are Space Monkey. 🙈🙊🙉
