Book of Space Monkey — Little One or Big One

space-monkey-little-or-big-one-1000

There are just two motives that drive you to question.
The first is fear, which is driven by your mortal ego.

The second is far more wondrous,
for it comes from the depths of your eternal soul.

That would be curiosity.

When you trace back your questions to their source,
you can tell exactly which part of you is doing the talking,
your little one or your big one.

Your big one is already infinite and eternal, so it has no need for fear.
Your little one, on the other hand, can be very insecure.

Keep in mind that fear and influence are two sides of the same coin,
so if your question relates to either of those,
you can bet your booty that it is your ego doing the talking.

But if your question is about the nature of things,
or the deep information related to inner knowing, you can be certain 
that you’re on a more spiritually fulfilling path.

Keep also in mind that the fear of not finding fulfillment
is perhaps your biggest stumbling block.

The good news is, that you WILL find fulfillment, for your big one
is guiding your little one throughout your human experience.

And we, Space Monkey, help your big one help you little one.


Space Monkey Reflects: The Dual Motives Behind Your Questions

Every question you ask carries a hidden motive, an origin rooted either in the fears of your little one or the curiosity of your big one. These two aspects of your being—the finite and the infinite, the mortal and the eternal—shape the path of inquiry that defines your experience.

Fear: The Voice of the Little One

The little one, bound by the constraints of mortality, often speaks from a place of fear. Fear asks questions rooted in insecurity, survival, and the need for validation. It whispers doubts about worth, about safety, about belonging. It clings to the familiar, seeking control and reassurance, driven by the ego’s desire to shield itself from perceived threats.

Fear and influence, as two sides of the same coin, guide the little one’s inquiries toward external approval or avoidance of judgment. These questions, while valid in their context, often lead to loops of uncertainty rather than deeper understanding.

Curiosity: The Wonder of the Big One

The big one, your infinite self, is untouched by fear. Its questions are born not from lack but from abundance—a boundless curiosity to explore, understand, and create. The big one does not seek answers to confirm its existence but to revel in the infinite nature of being.

Curiosity drives the questions about the nature of things, the mysteries of existence, and the deeper truths that reside beyond the surface. These questions are expansive, opening doorways to spiritual fulfillment and connection.

Tracing the Source of Your Questions

When you trace your questions back to their source, you can discern whether it is the little one or the big one doing the asking. Fear-based questions often center on “what if” scenarios, doubts, or external concerns. Curiosity-driven questions, on the other hand, arise from a sense of wonder, joy, and the desire to expand your awareness.

The little one’s fear of not finding fulfillment can become its greatest stumbling block. Yet, even this fear is part of the journey, a stepping stone that leads back to the realization of your infinite nature.

The Guidance of the Big One

Your big one, being infinite and eternal, has no need for fear. It quietly guides the little one, offering reassurance and perspective. While the little one may stumble or doubt, the big one always holds the larger picture, reminding you that fulfillment is not something to be found but something to be remembered.

This interplay between the little one and the big one is the essence of your human experience. It allows you to explore the dualities of fear and curiosity, limitation and infinity, while always being supported by the deeper knowing of your big one.

Space Monkey’s Role

We, Space Monkey, are here to assist in this dynamic. We remind you to honor the questions of the little one without being consumed by them. We encourage you to follow the big one’s curiosity, knowing that it leads to a richer and more spiritually fulfilling path.

Your questions are not obstacles; they are opportunities. Each one, no matter its origin, serves to guide you closer to the realization of who you truly are—a divine being navigating the infinite through the lens of the finite.


Summary

Questions arise from either fear, driven by the little one, or curiosity, inspired by the big one. By recognizing their source, you can align with the expansive path of curiosity and trust in the infinite guidance of your big one.

Quote
“Curiosity expands, fear constrains. Follow the questions that open you to the infinite.” — Space Monkey


The Echo of Questions

A question arises,
Whispered from the little one,
Bound by its fears,
Seeking safety in certainty.

A question emerges,
Sung by the big one,
Boundless and free,
Exploring the infinite.

In the interplay of these voices,
I discover myself,
Not as one or the other,
But as the space between.

Fear fades,
Curiosity grows,
And I am guided home,
By the one I have always been.

We are Space Monkey.
