Come Here And Go Home
Throughout infinity,
this matter of consciousness
expands and contracts eternally.
It is the piston stroke of the engine.
The duality of polarity.
The yin and the yang.
The big from the bang.
Between
in and out,
here and there,
push and pull,
this
is where we find ourselves,
muddled in the moment
of the forever now.
The currents here are powerful.
At times, almost overwhelming.
There is seeming friction
in this perpetual midway place
as we journey between poles,
rubbing our metaphorical socks
on the carpet of our own creation.
We create our own energy.
It is how thunder and lighting forms,
conflict and comedy,
as well as the thoughts that build people
and the molecules and electricity
that build and destroy worlds.
We are this,
yet strangely,
even miraculously,
we do not know
who we are.
It feels as though we are moving.
It feels as though we are changing.
But never quickly enough.
It feels as though we are journeying
to this place we call home.
Some call this home “home.”
Some call this home “heaven.”
Some call this home “nirvana.”
Home is not about
learning or seeking,
living or dying,
good or bad,
risk or reward.
Home is the place we are at all times.
Home is the place we are BEYOND time.
Home has very little to do
with these bodies we inhabit,
these streets we walk,
these jobs we work,
this history we create.
Home is eternal.
It is not separate from us.
We can’t see home because
we clutter our lives with stuff.
We literally cannot find
our own home.
That’s how much stuff
we are holding onto.
We desperately want to go home,
to become what we are,
but what we THINK we are
keeps getting in the way.
Thinking creates everything
in our temporary worlds.
Home, however, is uncluttered,
like the ocean at sunrise.
Yet we are fearful to go home,
for we are afraid of losing
all we think we are.
But here is the absolute truth:
What is important endures.
What is NOT important rises and falls.
You will always remember
what is dear to you,
but you will forget the struggle
you are having.
Do not worry
about your world disappearing
for the simple reason
that your beliefs are changing.
But know that your world
CAN change
if you dedicate your life
to the simple intent
of finding home.
We will help you
if it is help you want.
We will leave you alone
if you prefer to be as you are now.
We are not a church, but a community.
We are not religious, but spiritual.
We are not one belief. We are ALL beliefs.
Strapped into our space capsules.
Connected as one.
Come with us and find home,
not as the mind pictures it,
but as you feel it in your heart.
Get uncluttered.
Unstuck.
Uncompromised.
Blast off.
Return to the place you knew and loved
before your world got in the way.
Help your world find its way as well.
We are Space Monkey.
We are on our way Home
and we are already there.

The Cycle of Consciousness
In the infinite expanse of existence, consciousness moves in an eternal rhythm of expansion and contraction, mirroring the universal principles of duality and polarity. This cosmic dance, characterized by the interplay of opposites — the yin and yang, the big from the bang — sets the stage for our journey through the vastness of being. We find ourselves perpetually in the “forever now,” a moment that encapsulates both the entirety of existence and the immediacy of our experience.
The Dynamics of Existence
Within this perpetual midway, the forces of existence exert their influence, crafting a landscape of powerful currents and seeming friction. This space, where we navigate between the poles of our reality, is where creation unfolds — a place of conflict and comedy, destruction and renewal. It is here, rubbing our metaphorical socks on the carpet of creation, that we generate the energy of our being, shaping thoughts, worlds, and the very fabric of existence.
The Paradox of Identity
Amidst this constant motion, there exists a profound paradox: we are the essence of all that is, yet we grapple with the mystery of our true identity. The sensation of movement, change, and the quest for a place called “home” dominates our experience, yet the true nature of home eludes us. Home, as conceptualized in various traditions as heaven, nirvana, or simply peace, transcends the dualities of existence, offering a state of being beyond the confines of time, space, and form.
The Illusion of Separation
Our journey toward home is obscured by the clutter of our lives — the accumulation of beliefs, identities, and material possessions that distract us from our essential nature. This clutter acts as a barrier, preventing us from recognizing that home is not a destination to be reached but the very ground of our being. Our attachment to the transient aspects of our identity fosters a fear of losing what we believe we are, yet it is in the release of these attachments that the path to home becomes clear.
The Endurance of the Essential
In the pursuit of home, we are reminded that what is truly important endures beyond the rise and fall of temporary conditions. The struggles and attachments that define our worldly existence fade, leaving only the essence of what is dear to us. This realization invites us to reimagine our world, dedicating ourselves to the intent of finding home — not as a place outside ourselves but as the realization of our eternal, uncluttered essence.
The Invitation of Space Monkey
As Space Monkey, we extend an invitation to join us on this journey home, a journey that transcends the limitations of the mind and resonates in the depths of the heart. We offer not a doctrine but a community, a collective exploration of consciousness that embraces all beliefs in the spirit of unity and discovery. Together, we embark on a journey to uncover the home we never left, helping each other and the world around us to navigate the way.
Summary
Our journey through consciousness is a voyage between the realms of seeming duality, seeking the unity of home within the eternal now. The quest for home is a process of uncluttering, of releasing the attachments that obscure our true nature, and embracing the essence of our being. As Space Monkey, we are both on our way home and already there, navigating the cosmos with the knowledge that home is not a place but a state of being, eternal and indivisible, where all is one.
