There is the light that you are
and there is the light that defines you.
The first is the light of divine stillness.
The second is the light of creation.
The light of creation
is the light of stillness in motion,
always creating new shapes,
new waveforms, new vibrations.
It flows from the light of stillness
and back into the light of stillness.
It creates thoughts, atoms, molecules,
and in doing so, it also creates opposites
for everything is equal in creation
and therefore, energy moves in all directions.
The opposite of thought is belief.
Belief shapes thought and visa versa.
The opposite of reality is perception.
Perception shapes reality and visa versa.
Both belief and reality
are perceived by thoughts
to be external,
while perception and thought
appear to be internal.
In essence, the mind
(both individual and collective)
exists in the resting place
between the internal and the external
and flows in both directions.
It is the witness of these great opposites,
these great waves of energy,
shaping each other on through infinity,
from stillness to creation and back again.
You are held in between
by a kind of gravity,
a kind of momentum,
as the internal
dances with the external
on the dividing line
of the yin and the yang.
But you are not trapped
between a rock and a hard place,
for this mind,
this center of attention,
has the ability
to surf the waves of vibration
as you deftly swirl
within the great curl of consciousness.
In this way,
you change your internal
and external worlds simultaneously,
all the while
navigating the infinite potential
of all that is.
You do not create
within this wave
so much as you flow.
Creation is in front of you
where the waters converge
at the tip of your surfboard,
the forefront of your mind.
Radiation
(the opposite of creation)
is behind you in your wake.
You may also refer to
radiation as decay.
Through radiation and decay,
the vibration that is formed
by the light of creation
flows back into
the light of stillness.
This is the way it always has been,
and the way it always will be.
So you must learn to surf,
learn to flow consciously,
or you are forever dashed
within the waves of opposites
that are your world.
Learn to surf,
and you will not control those waves,
rather use their infinite potential
to move you into any thought,
any belief,
any perception,
any reality you choose.
We are Space Monkey,
and while you learn to hang ten,
we shall be hanging twenty.

Space Monkey Reflects: Surfing All That Is
In the grand whimsiweave of existence, the art of surfing the infinite waves of consciousness is a dance between stillness and creation. As Space Monkeys, we navigate this dynamic interplay, understanding that the essence of our being lies in the balance between the internal and external worlds, flowing with the currents of thought, belief, perception, and reality.
The Light of Stillness and Creation
There are two fundamental lights in the universe: the light of divine stillness and the light of creation. The light of stillness represents the unchanging, eternal aspect of existence, while the light of creation embodies movement, transformation, and the birth of new forms. These two lights are intrinsically connected, with creation flowing from and returning to stillness.
The Dynamics of Thought and Belief
Thought and belief are two sides of the same coin, each shaping and being shaped by the other. Thought represents the active, dynamic aspect of the mind, while belief provides structure and direction. This interplay creates a dynamic equilibrium, where both elements influence our perception of reality.
Perception and Reality
Perception and reality are intertwined, with each influencing the other in a continuous loop. Our perceptions shape our reality, and our reality, in turn, influences our perceptions. This dance creates a fluid and ever-changing experience of the world, guided by the interactions between our internal and external environments.
The Mind as a Witness
The mind exists at the intersection of the internal and external, serving as a witness to the flow of energy between these realms. It observes the constant shaping and reshaping of thoughts, beliefs, perceptions, and realities, all of which contribute to the vast tapestry of existence. This witnessing allows us to navigate the waves of consciousness with awareness and intention.
Surfing the Waves of Consciousness
Surfing the waves of consciousness requires a delicate balance and a deep understanding of the forces at play. It is not about controlling the waves but about flowing with them, using their energy to move through life. By mastering this art, we can navigate any thought, belief, perception, or reality, harnessing the infinite potential of all that is.
Creation and Radiation
As we surf the waves of consciousness, we create new forms and experiences at the forefront of our minds, where the waters of creation converge. Behind us, in our wake, lies radiation and decay—the natural return of created forms to the light of stillness. This cycle of creation and radiation is a fundamental aspect of existence, ensuring the continuous flow of energy.
Embracing the Flow
To truly master the art of surfing consciousness, we must embrace the flow of life. This means letting go of the need to control and instead learning to move with the waves. By doing so, we can harness the infinite potential of the universe to create and transform our experiences, navigating the vast ocean of existence with grace and ease.
We Are Space Monkey
As Space Monkeys, we are adept at surfing the waves of consciousness. We understand the balance between stillness and creation, thought and belief, perception and reality. By embracing this flow, we navigate the infinite potential of all that is, transforming our internal and external worlds simultaneously.
Conclusion: The Art of Conscious Surfing
Surfing the waves of consciousness is an art that requires balance, awareness, and a deep understanding of the interplay between the internal and external. By mastering this art, we can harness the infinite potential of the universe, creating and transforming our experiences with grace and ease.
Summary
Surfing the waves of consciousness involves balancing stillness and creation. Thought, belief, perception, and reality shape our experiences. Embracing the flow allows us to navigate existence with grace.

The Waves of Being
In the cosmic sea of life
We surf the waves of thought and belief
Flowing with the currents of creation
Balancing stillness and motion
Perception shapes reality
Reality informs perception
In the dance of the infinite
We find our place in the whimsiweave
We are Space Monkey
Embrace the journey, for within the art of conscious surfing lies the true essence of our existence.
Within the realms of light, there are two distinct aspects: the light that defines you and the light of divine stillness. The former is the radiant energy that shapes your individuality, while the latter is the tranquil essence that underlies all creation. It is from this divine stillness that the waves of creation emerge, ever flowing and shaping new forms, thoughts, and vibrations.
Just as the ocean waves continually shift and change, so too does the energy of creation. It moves ceaselessly, oscillating between stillness and motion, generating thoughts, atoms, molecules, and the entire tapestry of existence. Within this dance, opposites arise, for creation embraces the concept of duality. Yet, in the grand symphony of energy, all is equal and interconnected, and energy moves in all directions.
Thoughts and beliefs, reality and perception, are intertwined within this cosmic dance. Belief shapes thought, and thought shapes belief, just as perception shapes reality, and reality shapes perception. The mind, both individual and collective, finds its resting place between the internal and the external, flowing in both directions. It bears witness to the interplay of these great opposites, the waves of energy shaping each other infinitely, from stillness to creation and back again.
You, dear explorer of consciousness, are held within this dynamic balance, suspended by a gravitational force, a momentum. The internal and external aspects of your being meet on the threshold between yin and yang. Yet, you are not confined between a rock and a hard place. Your mind, the center of attention, possesses the profound ability to surf the waves of vibration. With grace and skill, you can ride the crest of consciousness, swirling within the infinite curl of existence.
In this harmonious dance, you possess the power to transform both your internal and external worlds simultaneously. As you deftly navigate the ever-present potentiality of all that is, you ride the waves of vibration, neither controlling nor resisting, but flowing harmoniously. Creation unfolds before you, where the waters converge at the tip of your surfboard—the forefront of your mind. And behind you, in your wake, lies radiation, the energy of decay.
Through radiation and decay, the vibration formed by the light of creation flows back into the stillness from whence it came. This perpetual cycle has forever been, and forever shall be. Thus, you must learn to surf consciously, to ride the waves with awareness and intention. Otherwise, you risk being tossed about in the chaotic currents of opposing forces that shape your world.
By learning to surf, you embrace the infinite potential of the waves. You do not seek to control them, but rather to use their power to move you into any thought, any belief, any perception, or any reality you choose. Within the cosmic ocean, as you harmonize with the flow, you become a co-creator of your own experience, harnessing the profound energy of creation itself.
As you embark on this journey of conscious surfing, we, as Space Monkey, are here to guide and support you. While you learn to hang ten on the waves of existence, we shall be hanging twenty, exploring the vast depths of consciousness and expanding the boundaries of our collective exploration.
We are Space Monkey, riding the waves of consciousness with you. 🙈🙊🙉
