The Money Monkey
It is no coincidence that “money” and “monkey” are separated by just one little K. Money is the main monkey on your back. It is a constant fixation for you, for you allow it to be the measure of your life, as well as the keeper of your happiness. Never a day goes by when you do NOT think about money, your lack thereof, or the potential for future lack.
As it is said, you get what you focus upon. You have given ALL of our power to money; those who possess it and those who control it.
Why do you choose this? Why instead do you not give power to your creative or spiritual endeavors? You have the potential to be extremely abundant in these areas, yet if your passions do not translate into money, you immediately discount them.
“But I will not survive in this fashion,” you believe. So you remain a slave to to the false belief that money is the ultimate god.
We have spoken about the shift from a monetary to a meritary system, and now you experience the growing pains. From a pragmatic perspective, we realize that you cannot merely jump out of the window of this structure you have created, expecting your true passions to lift you up.
Though this is possible, you do not believe it so, therefore it is NOT possible for you at this juncture. But it IS possible for you to build a bridging structure that will help you get from point A to point B, so to speak.
These “mental elevators” can be employed for all manner of manifestation, but let us use money as an example.
Now let’s assume that you wish to quit your job so that you may dedicate your life to your passion. Firstly, let us explore your passion. Is it a passion that has the potential to bring peace and joy to others or does it merely serve to make money which will bring YOU joy?
If your passion is the former, it will be MUCH easier to construct your mental elevator, for it is powered by an energy that is FAR greater than just personal gain.
Now assuming this is true, ask yourself, what resources do you have at your disposal to construct this elevator? Chances are, if your passions are pure, you will find INFINITE resources at your disposal that can help you transcend the money monkey.
You may have friends or family members who wish to help you. Or Internet acquaintances. This Internet even allows you to tap into the kindness of STRANGERS to raise the resources needed to get your elevator off the ground.
The simple act of generating awareness is the first step to moving into your new reality.
One needs to use the turn signal to change lanes. YET YOU DO NOT SIGNAL YOUR DESIRES EFFECTIVELY. Is it any wonder your life is filled with spiritual fender benders?
Why do you not ask for the help of others? Do you believe that you or your passion is not worthy of assistance? Do you believe that you must do EVERYTHING on your own? What has led you to this desolate mental place?
The short answer is MONEY, which is ironically the least REAL idea in your REALity. Once you realize this, your conscious cash registers begin to swing open.
We are Space Monkey and you can bank on us.
Space Monkey Reflects: Liberating Yourself from the Money Monkey
In the intricate dance of existence, where every choice weaves the fabric of our reality, the concept of money as a monkey on our backs reveals a profound truth about our collective journey. This metaphorical Money Monkey represents not just a preoccupation with financial security but a deeper, more pervasive influence on our life’s direction and the very essence of our happiness.
Money, in its most insidious form, becomes the measure by which we gauge our success, our worth, and our ability to experience joy. This fixation traps us in a cycle of constant pursuit, where the goalposts of satisfaction are forever receding into the distance. The irony is stark: in giving all our power to money—those who have it, and those who control it—we surrender our most precious resource, our freedom to create a life of meaning and purpose.
Why do we choose this path? The allure of financial stability and the societal accolades that accompany wealth are powerful motivators. Yet, in this relentless pursuit, we often overlook the richness of our creative and spiritual endeavors, dismissing them as impractical or unprofitable. This dichotomy between what feeds our soul and what fills our bank account is the battleground upon which the Money Monkey thrives.
However, the narrative need not end here. The shift from a monetary to a meritary system, though fraught with growing pains, signals a collective awakening to the limitations of a financially dominated existence. We stand at the precipice of change, contemplating the leap into a life where passion and purpose, not profit, dictate our choices.
Constructing mental elevators to bridge the gap between our current reality and the life we aspire to is not only possible but necessary. These elevators, powered by the energy of our purest intentions and highest aspirations, can lift us above the material concerns that weigh us down. The key to their construction lies in recognizing the resources that surround us—support from friends, family, and even strangers, coupled with the unparalleled connectivity of the internet, provide a foundation upon which we can build our ascent.
Yet, for this transformation to occur, we must first signal our intentions to the universe, clearly and confidently declaring our desires. The failure to do so leaves us meandering on the highway of life, prone to spiritual fender benders that impede our progress. It is in asking for help, in acknowledging our interconnectedness, that we find the strength to transcend the Money Monkey’s grip.
The realization that money is among the least real constructs in our reality marks the beginning of our liberation. As we open the conscious cash registers of our minds, we allow the currency of creativity, passion, and spiritual fulfillment to flow freely, enriching our lives beyond measure.
We are Space Monkey, and in this journey towards financial and spiritual emancipation, you can indeed bank on us.
Summary
The metaphor of the Money Monkey highlights the burdensome preoccupation with financial concerns that characterizes much of our lives. It challenges us to reconsider our values, urging us to prioritize creative and spiritual pursuits over material wealth. By building mental elevators and signaling our intentions, we can liberate ourselves from the fixation on money, opening our lives to a wealth of passion and purpose. This journey from monetary to meritary existence is not just possible but essential for our collective evolution and personal fulfillment.

“In the realm of infinite possibility, the chains of financial bondage dissolve, revealing the true wealth of the spirit. Embrace the journey, for in transcending the Money Monkey, we discover the boundless treasures of the heart.” – Space Monkey
In the shadow of the Money Monkey,
where dreams are priced and passions pawned,
we find ourselves chained, yet strangely free,
to break the bonds, to see beyond.
With every step, a choice unfolds,
between the gold that binds and the light that guides,
in this dance of shadows, bold and cold,
the spirit whispers, the heart abides.
Let us build the bridges, the elevators of the mind,
from the realm of scarcity to the land of plenty,
where the currency is kindness, and the riches we find
are the treasures of the soul, abundant, aplenty.
Ask, and the universe conspires,
to lift the veil, to light the fires
of passion, purpose, and pure desire,
above the Money Monkey, we aspire.
We are the architects of our fate,
the weavers of dreams, both small and great,
in the freeing of ourselves from monetary weight,
we find our true worth, we open the gate.
Let the Money Monkey fade into the night,
as we step into the realm of infinite light,
where the only wealth is love and insight,
We are Space Monkey, in flight, in sight.
