The best way to grant
your soul’s wish
is to spend

It is
your soul’s wish
that you realize
that you have
all you need ALREADY.
That these joys,
that these struggles,
that these certainties,
that these doubts,
come PRECISELY as planned.
There is nothing missing;
nothing for you to attain
because you contain everything.
You ARE everything.
Imagining otherwise.

Space Monkey Reflects: Your Soul’s Wish
The best way to grant your soul’s wish is to spend several lifetimes contemplating how unlikely it seems. This statement, paradoxical as it may appear, holds within it a profound truth about the nature of existence and the journey of the soul. We often believe that our soul’s wish is something distant, something we must strive toward, something just beyond our reach. But what if the soul’s true wish is not about acquiring or achieving, but about realizing that we already possess everything we need?
Your soul’s wish is not a hidden treasure to be discovered; it is the realization that the treasure has been with you all along. The joys, the struggles, the certainties, and the doubts that weave through the tapestry of your life are not random occurrences. They are precisely as planned, each thread carefully placed to create the pattern of your existence.
The Illusion of Lack
In the human experience, we are often driven by a sense of lack—a feeling that something is missing, that we must attain more to be complete. This sense of lack fuels our desires, our ambitions, and our quests for fulfillment. Yet, this very quest is based on a fundamental misunderstanding of our true nature. The soul does not lack anything because the soul contains everything. You are everything.
The belief that we must attain something, that we must fill some void, is part of the grand illusion that we create for ourselves. This illusion serves a purpose: it drives us to explore, to grow, to evolve. But it is also a trap, keeping us in a perpetual state of striving, never fully realizing that what we seek is already within us.
The Perfection of the Present
Your soul’s wish is not for you to achieve some external goal or to attain some future state of being. It is for you to recognize the perfection of the present moment, to see that everything you need is already here. The joys you experience, the struggles you endure, the certainties you hold, and the doubts that plague you—all of these are part of the perfect plan. They are not obstacles to be overcome, but gifts to be embraced.
In realizing this, you come to see that there is nothing missing, nothing to attain. You are already whole, complete, and perfect as you are. The journey of the soul is not about becoming more, but about remembering that you are already everything. It is about peeling away the layers of illusion that obscure this truth.
Imagining Otherwise
The idea that you are not enough, that you must become something more, is a powerful illusion. It is an imagining, a story you tell yourself to create the experience of growth and expansion. But this story, while useful, is not the ultimate truth. The ultimate truth is that you are everything. You always have been, and you always will be.
Imagining otherwise is the soul’s way of playing with reality, of creating the experience of separation and return. It is through this process that the soul experiences the richness of existence, the full spectrum of emotions, and the depth of understanding that comes from navigating the human experience.
But the time comes when the soul wishes for you to remember. To remember that you are not separate from the source, that you are not lacking in any way, and that the life you are living, with all its complexities and contradictions, is precisely as it should be.
The Soul’s Contentment
When you grant your soul’s wish by recognizing the truth of your being, a deep contentment settles in. This contentment is not dependent on external circumstances or achievements. It arises from the understanding that everything is already here, within you, and that you are an integral part of the Infinite Expanse of the Eternal Now.
In this state of contentment, the struggles and doubts that once seemed so significant begin to lose their power. You see them for what they are—temporary experiences within the vast, unchanging reality of your true self. And in this realization, you find peace.
Your soul’s wish is fulfilled, not through external accomplishments, but through the internal realization that you are already whole. You are everything you need, and everything you will ever need is already within you.
Summary
Your soul’s wish is not about achieving something external but about realizing that everything you need is already within you. The joys, struggles, certainties, and doubts of life are precisely as planned, guiding you to the truth that you are already whole and complete. The journey is about peeling away the illusions of lack and remembering that you are everything.

“Your soul’s wish is already granted; you need only to realize that you are everything you seek.” — Space Monkey
The Soul’s Contentment
In the quiet of your heart
Where doubts and dreams reside
Lies the truth you seek
That you are whole
Complete
And perfect
As you are
No need to strive
No need to chase
For you are the wish
Your soul has wished
All along
We are Space Monkey
The Cosmic Whirligig spins, ever unceasing, weaving its grand tapestry with threads of destiny and skeins of serendipity. In the multi-chambered heart of this universal ballet, our soul’s wish pulses, undulating like the ocean at midnight—ever mysterious, ever elusive. Yet, here lies the paradigma: that which we ardently seek is already nestled within the kaleidoscopic sanctum of our being.
Oh, the cosmic comedy! We navigate the labyrinthine corridors of time and space, collecting trinkets of experience, puzzle pieces of wisdom, convinced we’re composing something groundbreaking. The irony is as delicious as a spoonful of star nectar; we’re scurrying around in quest of what is inherently ours. A game of cosmic hide-and-seek, where we are both the hider and the seeker, ceaselessly playing in a field that spans both the microscopic and the cosmic.
These joys and sorrows, certainties and doubts, are not random baubles in a chaotic universe; they are meticulously curated keepsakes in the Cosmic Curio Cabinet. Precisely orchestrated, every twist of fate, every zephyr of change, serves the realization that the world outside is but a reflection of the cosmos within. And it takes a multitude of lifetimes, a succession of soulular epochs, to embrace this grand yet disarmingly simple Truth—with a capital T.
When we say “Imagining otherwise,” it unfurls like a cosmic chuckle, an acknowledgment of the ultimate cosmic prank. We’re the jesters in our own cosmic play, amusingly sidetracked, beguiled by illusions of incompleteness, when in fact, we’re an all-encompassing, self-contained universe.
We are Space Monkey.
“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.”
— Carl Jung
