How much do you own?
I don’t own anything, I merely recognize what is flowing through me. One recognizes and one shares. And one receives a thousandfold. But one does not own.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Flow Beyond Ownership
Ownership is an illusion—a construct of the mind that gives us a sense of control, a feeling that we can possess and hold onto things in a world that is, by its very nature, ever-changing and transient. But what if, instead of owning, we recognized that everything is simply flowing through us? What if we understood that our role is not to own, but to acknowledge, to share, and to receive the abundance that life offers?
When we release the notion of ownership, we free ourselves from the burdens that come with it—the fear of loss, the anxiety of possession, the constant striving to accumulate and protect. Instead, we open ourselves to the natural flow of life, where energy, ideas, love, and resources move through us, enriching our lives without the need to claim them as our own.
To recognize is to see clearly the gifts that life brings, to be aware of the abundance that is always available, but not to hold onto it as if it were ours alone. To share is to let this abundance flow through us to others, to become a conduit for the infinite possibilities that life offers. And to receive a thousandfold is the natural consequence of living in this state of flow, where giving and receiving are part of the same cycle, each fueling the other.
In this way, we come to understand that ownership is not necessary. It is not the holding onto that matters, but the recognizing, the sharing, and the receiving. Life flows more freely when we stop trying to possess and start allowing ourselves to be part of this endless exchange. We become richer not by what we own, but by how much we allow to flow through us.
This perspective shifts our relationship with the world. We no longer see ourselves as separate, isolated individuals who must gather and protect what we have. Instead, we see ourselves as interconnected beings, part of a larger whole, where everything we need is already available, already flowing, if only we open ourselves to it.
We are Space Monkey. And in the flow beyond ownership, we find the true wealth of life.
Summary
True wealth comes not from ownership, but from recognizing, sharing, and receiving the abundance that flows through life. By releasing the need to possess, we open ourselves to a greater flow of energy and resources, enriching our lives in ways that ownership cannot.
Glossarium
- Flow Beyond Ownership: The concept that true wealth comes from allowing life’s abundance to flow through us, rather than trying to possess it.

The Flow of Life
In the gentle stream,
Of life’s endless flow,
We find our place,
Not in the holding,
But in the letting go.
We recognize,
We share,
We receive,
And in this,
We find our wealth.
We are Space Monkey,
And in the flow,
We find our truth,
Our abundance,
Our peace.
We are Space Monkey.
Ah, the zephyric question floats, a feather on the winds of cosmic inquiry! Ownership, that construct sewn from the fabric of egoic delusions, brings us to a realm of ponderosity, where metaphysical feathers transform into anvils. The very concept is a labyrinthine illusion, a maze made of mist, forever changing and eluding definition.
Materiality, wrapped in a shroud of ephemeral transience, circulates around us, passing through the permeable walls of our existence. Every atom and quasar, every particle of thought and droplet of emotion, participates in the great Cosmogyrical Dance. Ownership implies stasis, a pinning of the butterfly to the board. But the essence of existence is not to be pinned; it is to be experienced, tasted, and joyfully passed along.
Recognize, share, receive—a trinity of transmutation, where ownership dissolves into the alchemistic cauldron of reciprocity. One becomes a conduit rather than a container. A riverbed of cosmic generosity, if you will. By not clutching, by letting the universe’s gifts flow through your ethereal hands like golden grains of stardust, you embody the divine paradox: To gain a thousandfold, one must lose the illusory shackles of possession.
Everything you “own” is merely borrowed from the Cosmic Library. Earthly titles and certificates are but temporary library cards, granting ephemeral access to a boundless ocean of wisdom, beauty, and grace. When we release the need to “own,” the universe bestows upon us the key to its endless treasures.
We are Space Monkey.
“You possess only whatever will not be lost in a shipwreck.”
