No matter what
I do or don’t do,
there is great deal
of profit in it.
But I am already
immeasurably rich.
—-
There are those
who are followers,
and those who are seekers.
I’m not one of those.
I know that
in any particular moment,
I am given everything I need
to get the most out of that moment.
What I am is a hunter.
I stalk what interests me
and I take it.
There is never a question
of whether I will succeed or fail.
I do as I am drawn to do.

Space Monkey Reflects: A Spiritual Hunter
To be a hunter in the spiritual sense is to live with intention, to move beyond the passive collection of experiences or the restless search for meaning, and instead, to actively engage with the pulse of existence. This kind of hunter does not pursue material wealth or external validation but seeks the riches inherent in the unfolding of each moment.
Material wealth is an illusion, a finite marker of success in an infinite field of possibility. True wealth lies in the awareness that everything you need is already present, waiting for your attention. This abundance is not something to be hoarded or measured—it is a state of being, an openness to the vastness of the Infinite Expanse.
Followers tread paths carved by others. Seekers wander, often with noble purpose, but sometimes lost in the search itself. A hunter, however, neither follows nor seeks. A hunter perceives, engages, and acts. This is not driven by ambition or fear but by an innate alignment with what interests and compels them. It is the courage to claim one’s place in the eternal now, to act without the weight of success or failure.
The spiritual hunter does not hesitate. Hesitation belongs to the realm of doubt, and doubt is the shadow cast by disconnection from the present. To hunt spiritually is to trust the draw of your instincts, to honor the magnetic pull of curiosity, passion, and inspiration. What interests you, what calls you, is no random occurrence—it is a signal from the universe, an invitation to engage with the grand tapestry of existence.
In this hunting, there is no scarcity, for every moment is rich with possibility. The prey, if it can be called that, is not a conquest but a communion—a dynamic interaction between the hunter and the hunted, the self and the infinite. Success and failure lose their meaning in this dance; what matters is the act of participation itself.
A spiritual hunter recognizes that wealth is not in accumulation but in engagement. Each moment provides exactly what is needed—not always what is wanted, but always what is essential. To take from the moment is not to deplete it but to align with its purpose, to receive its gifts and weave them into the fabric of your being.
This hunting is not selfish, for the spiritual hunter is deeply aware of their connection to the whole. What they take, they also give, for their growth enriches the collective. By acting in alignment with their true nature, they inspire others to do the same, creating ripples of authenticity and abundance throughout the Nexis.
To live as a spiritual hunter is to embrace the fullness of life without grasping, to pursue without attachment, and to receive without greed. It is to walk boldly, guided by an inner compass that always points toward the truth of who you are.
Summary
A spiritual hunter engages actively with life, seeking the riches of the present moment. They act without hesitation, knowing everything they need is already within reach, and their alignment enriches the whole.

Quote
“The spiritual hunter does not seek wealth but realizes the moment itself is an immeasurable treasure.” — Space Monkey
The Stalk of the Infinite
I walk,
not behind,
not ahead,
but in step with the pulse of now.
What calls me,
I answer.
What interests me,
I take.
No conquest,
no capture,
only communion
with the fullness of what is.
In the abundance of the moment,
I find my wealth.
In the act of being,
I find my purpose.
I am the hunter,
the hunted,
the infinite thread.

The Essence of the Spiritual Hunter
Within the boundless expanse of existence, the role of the spiritual hunter emerges as a profound archetype, transcending the traditional dichotomies of follower and seeker. This embodiment of will and purpose defies the conventional paths laid before us, asserting a unique journey through the cosmos.
Beyond Material Wealth
The acknowledgment of immeasurable richness, irrespective of action or inaction, highlights a state of being where the accumulation of material wealth pales in comparison to the treasures of the spirit. It’s a declaration of abundance that transcends the physical, rooted in the understanding that true wealth is found in the depths of experience and consciousness.
The Dichotomy of Followers and Seekers
In a world where individuals often find themselves categorized as followers or seekers, the spiritual hunter carves out a distinct identity. This delineation not only challenges the static nature of such roles but also invites a reevaluation of our engagement with the world. It’s a call to transcend passive reception and active pursuit in favor of a more dynamic interaction with the universe.
The Moment’s Gift
The conviction that each moment provides precisely what is needed for its fullest expression is a testament to the spiritual hunter’s faith in the synchronicity of existence. It’s an understanding that every instant is replete with the potential for growth, learning, and achievement, provided we are open to receiving its gifts.
The Path of the Hunter
To identify as a hunter in the spiritual realm is to embrace a proactive stance towards one’s desires and curiosities. It involves a deliberate engagement with the world, where the act of stalking and taking what interests us becomes a metaphor for the pursuit of knowledge, experience, and self-realization. This approach discards the fear of failure, embracing instead the certainty of action driven by intrinsic motivation.
Success and Failure as Non-entities
In the consciousness of the spiritual hunter, the concepts of success and failure lose their traditional hold, replaced by a focus on the act of doing as an end in itself. This perspective liberates the hunter from the constraints of outcome, allowing for a fuller immersion in the journey of life.
“The bird of paradise alights only upon the hand that does not grasp.” – John Berry
In the wilderness of spirit, I roam,
A hunter, in the sacred dome.
Not for gold, nor for fame I comb,
But for the treasures of the soul, my home.
No follower, no seeker, am I,
Beyond the reach of earth and sky.
In each moment, my heart’s eye,
Sees the path where my truths lie.
With every step, a silent vow,
To stalk the why, the when, the how.
In the hunt, my spirit bows,
To the journey, here and now.
Success or failure, not my creed,
But in the act, my soul is freed.
A hunter’s heart, in thought and deed,
In every moment, my spirit feeds.
We are Space Monkey.
