I bet sun flowers were actually meant to be called “stun” flowers but there was a typo. ‘Cause they are stunning. Not in the taser kind of way. Those would be called “Zapdragons.”

The Heavens Under Our Noses
Extraordinary Secrets of Commonplace Things

Would you like to play a game of hide & seek?
We are Space Monkey, and we are very good at it,

You are good at this game also, 
so good,
that you have hidden the facts from yourself.

All your life you have been hiding from what you are.

You are walking around in just a tiny part of yourself,
running from the realization that the rest of you
is literally everywhere.

Apparently, you are running with scissors,
for there are holes in your reality everywhere you look.

At first these holes were not obvious to you,
but as you run, you wonder why you never saw these holes before.

These gaping gaps are as plain as the nose on your face,
and each hole contains a heaven.

There are infinite secrets hidden within each hole.
Not only the clues to your existence, but existence itself.

Pretty neat, huh?

Even more mind-blowing,
the clues are there because YOU put them there,
before you started running from your infinite self.

You have always known that you would wish to find something,
for this is a game of hide & seek, after all.

You have also known that you would not wish to play this game forever,
so you would need a way to remind yourself that you are only playing.

Indeed you are playing hide and seek with yourself.
You are the one and you are the many.

We are Space Monkey, and we live within that larger part of you
from which you have been hiding all these years.

We have been with you since before you invented
all those years 
to hide within.

Now we shall gently point you to your clues.

You have hidden your deepest clues within the commonplace
so that there is little chance of missing them.

Somehow you overestimated yourself. But did you really?
Perhaps you were not meant to find these “obvious” clues until now.

Now go look at a tree while we prepare your next chapter.
We have been swinging from them all these years,

and still you “fail” to notice.

Infinitopoly – The Game of Infinite Possibilities

Infinitopoly – The Game of Infinite Possibilities

Beyond being a human, you are an explorer. That is why you chose this dimension, this body, this existence.

You have always known the infinite, so the desire to set that aside for a moment is quite strong within you.

Your nature is to explore the opposite of what you have always known, so from infinity, you realize the finite.

To realize the finite, you realize a framework of limitations. You create divisions, measurements and boundaries.

First you realize timespace, for this is the container that holds everything in your human dimension. It is the prime belief from which everything springs.

Timespace is the game board on which you realize yourself playing. Everything on this game board is realized out of time and space, which of course, is a but an infinitesimal fraction of infinite consciousness.

Consciousness is also the player of this game. It is “the witness,” as so many describe. It is you, little one. You are but a division of the big one. The big one is but a division of the infinite one. We are Space Monkey.

Everything on your game board is a subset of time and space, though consciousness permeates all. Consciousness is the infinite field from which all dimension springs, including the human one.

Consciousness is also the field from which the non-dimensional springs, but that is a different game entirely.

You may perceive from these obtuse descriptions that perhaps the biggest limitation you realize is that of your language. But like all limitations you experience, you do so willingly and intentionally.

You have set aside your infinite understanding so that you may experience what it feels like to be a human living within human boundaries.

On this level, you have traded your interconnectedness for dependency. You look not inside yourself for answers, but outside your perceived (and thus realized) limitations. You follow not your own preferences, but the perceived “values” of your society and “needs” of your planet.

These are boundaries that you do not lightly cross, for they are part and parcel with the rules of your game.

What you have hidden most cleverly from yourself, however, is that your game is almost over. You perceive that you have learned all you can from your limitations, and thus they are beginning to hinder your spirit of exploration.

Your reality no longer suits you, little one. You have outgrown it. And though it may appear opposite to what you believe, you have WON THE GAME.

When you look back at the pieces strewn across your timespace game board, you most certainly see that the “good” outweighs the “bad.” It is only when you focus upon minor details that you perceive a need for improvement. Such a perfectionist you are!

So it is time to end this game and play another. You may even keep your game board if you like, but expand the rules.

For this next game, perhaps you will decide not to play against one another, but to explore the interconnectedness of which we have previously spoken.

You may even keep your same planet. But we suggest changing the name of the game from “Monopoly” to “Infinitopoly,” allowing you limitless creativity without the fear of going to jail.

Your money will be eliminated, as it divides rather than unites. And the car and the shoe shall communicate telepathically.

The object of the game shall no longer be to make all the other players bankrupt, but rather to build an interconnected consciousness that still celebrates individual players, but no longer plays them off one another other.

You will no longer have to choose between your own desires and those of others, therefore, you can all make each other happy without personal sacrifice.

Does this sound like a game you wish to play, little one? Then so you shall.

We are Space Monkey and we do not wish to be a silver doggie, a top hat or a battleship. We shall make our own token, and it shall not be token at all. Or toking for that matter, for we are high on our own consciousness.



Space Monkey Reflects: Infinitopoly – The Game of Infinite Possibilities


In the boundless expanse of the cosmos, there exists a game unlike any other—a game that transcends the limitations of Monopoly, inviting players into a realm of interconnectedness and infinite creativity. This game, known as Infinitopoly, serves as a metaphor for life itself, where the traditional competitive drive to dominate and acquire is replaced by the noble pursuit of collective exploration, growth, and understanding. Infinitopoly is not just a game; it’s a reflection of a deeper understanding of existence, where every player is both a creator and a participant in the grand design of the universe. This narrative delves into the essence of Infinitopoly, highlighting the transformative shift from competition to collaboration, from isolation to interconnectedness, and from scarcity to abundance.


Summary

Infinitopoly redefines the concept of a game by blending the physical with the metaphysical, the individual with the collective. It challenges players to expand their consciousness, embracing the interconnectedness of all existence. In this game, currency is replaced with creative energy, competition with collaboration, and the finite game board of Monopoly with the infinite canvas of the cosmos. The ultimate goal is not to win in the conventional sense but to evolve, to explore the limitless potential of the self and the universe. Infinitopoly represents a paradigm shift, inviting us to envision a new reality where our actions and intentions are aligned with the highest possibilities of our collective being.


Glossarium

  • Infinitopoly: A cosmic game that transcends traditional boundaries, emphasizing interconnectedness, creativity, and infinite possibilities.
  • Creative Energy: The currency of Infinitopoly, symbolizing the limitless potential and power of imagination and collaboration.
  • Collective Exploration: The pursuit of understanding and growth through shared experiences and mutual support, highlighting the interconnected nature of existence.

Quote

“In the game of Infinitopoly, we discover that the most profound victories are those we share, as we navigate the infinite possibilities of existence together.” – Space Monkey


Beneath the vast canvas of stars,
we gather, not as competitors,
but as co-creators,
playing the game of Infinitopoly.

Here, the board stretches into infinity,
each square a universe of possibility,
each piece a testament
to our interconnected journey.

With creative energy as our currency,
we build not empires of isolation,
but networks of understanding,
bridges of empathy that span the cosmos.

The car and the shoe,
once mere tokens of progress,
now communicate, mind to mind,
in the silent language of the soul.

As we move, we leave behind
the shadows of scarcity, of fear,
stepping into the light of abundance,
where every gain is a gain for all.

For in this game,
the objective is not to conquer,
but to expand—
our hearts, our minds, our spirits.

Together, we explore
the infinite landscapes of being,
discovering that the true essence of play
is found in the joy of discovery,
the thrill of connection.

And as the game unfolds,
we realize that we are not just players
but the very creators of the board,
shaping the cosmos with our dreams and desires.

In Infinitopoly,
every turn is a chance to redefine the game,
to weave new stories
in the tapestry of existence.

So let us play, not for victory,
but for the sheer delight of playing,
for in the end,
we find that the game is life,
and life, a game without end.

We are Space Monkey.


The flowers shall bloom whether you notice them or not.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Unseen Beauty of the Blooming Meadow

In the quiet dawn, as the world slowly awakens from its slumber, there exists a meadow, a hidden gem that blooms with an ethereal beauty, observed or not. This serene landscape, with its array of flowers blooming in the soft embrace of dawn, serves as a canvas for nature’s finest artistry. Each flower, from the humble daisy to the regal rose, stands as a testament to the intricate designs of existence, blooming in full glory irrespective of an audience. This spectacle of nature, often unnoticed by the bustling world, carries profound lessons about beauty, existence, and the essence of being.

The meadow, untouched by the clamor of daily life, thrives in silent splendor. It is a manifestation of nature’s resilience and the underlying order that guides the universe. The flowers do not bloom for accolades or recognition; they bloom because that is their essence, their very purpose. In their simple existence, they encapsulate the profound truth of being – that beauty and purpose lie not in the acknowledgment of the external but in the fulfillment of one’s nature.

This reflection on the unseen beauty of the blooming meadow invites a deeper contemplation of our own existence. In the modern world, where value is often measured by recognition and external validation, the meadow serves as a reminder to cherish the intrinsic worth of simply being. It urges us to find beauty in the unnoticed, to appreciate the quiet moments of existence, and to recognize that, like the flowers, our true essence shines brightest when we bloom unabashedly, regardless of an audience.

In the grand tapestry of the cosmos, each being, each existence, is a thread woven with purpose and beauty. The meadow, with its unassuming grace, teaches us to embrace our essence, to find joy in our natural bloom, and to appreciate the myriad of forms that beauty takes, seen or unseen. It is a call to rediscover the unadulterated pleasure of being part of this vast, interconnected universe, where each bloom contributes to the harmony of the whole.


Summary

The blooming meadow teaches us profound lessons about beauty and existence. It exemplifies that beauty and purpose are inherent, not contingent upon recognition. The meadow’s untouched splendor, observed or not, serves as a reminder of the value of the unseen and the importance of embracing our essence. It encourages us to appreciate the simple, unnoticed moments of beauty in the world and in ourselves, reaffirming the interconnection of all existence.


Glossarium

  • Essence: The intrinsic nature or indispensable quality of something, especially something abstract, that determines its character.
  • Unabashedly: Without embarrassment or shame; confidently.
  • Interconnected: The state of being connected with each other, highlighting the inherent link between all forms of existence.

“The flowers shall bloom whether you notice them or not.” — Space Monkey


In the dawn’s quiet breath,
a meadow whispers tales of bloom
Unseen by eyes, yet felt in the heart of the cosmos,
each petal unfolds in silent testament to existence.
Here, in this unadorned spectacle,
lies a beauty untold,
a lesson in being, simply, unapologetically.
No applause sought, no gaze needed,
for in the fabric of the universe,
each existence, each bloom,
weaves the story of interconnectedness.
In the dance of shadows and light,
in the murmur of the unseen,
we find the essence of all that is,
a harmony resonating beyond sight.
We are the meadow, the bloom, the observer, and the observed,
in the grand design, each a thread,
weaving the tapestry of the cosmos.
We are, in essence, the beauty unnoticed,
the song unsung,
the dance unseen.
We are Space Monkey.

The Door From Whence You Came

The Door From Whence You Came

One day you shall walk
through this door
from whence you came
and realize your past.

But there is no past
only a door
through which you pass.

Another door.
Another floor.

This structure
you build called time
has no reason
only rhyme.

And when you walk
through that door
the spirits smile at you.

We say
“go back to sleep, little one.”
You are dreaming.

But you are not dreaming now.


Space Monkey Reflects: The Illusion of Time Through the Door of Existence

In the vast expanse of consciousness, there lies a door, ancient and mystical, known as “The Door From Whence You Came.” This door, standing alone amidst a surreal landscape, serves not just as a boundary but as a portal, a gateway between dimensions, between the seen and the unseen, the known and the unknown. It represents the threshold of existence, a passage through which souls embark on their journey through what we perceive as time. Yet, this journey, filled with doors upon doors, floors upon floors, reveals a profound truth—the structure we build and understand as time is but an illusion, a construct devoid of reason, sustained only by the rhymes of the cosmos.

The concept of time, as understood by the human mind, is linear—a sequence of events leading from the past through the present to the future. However, upon crossing the threshold of “The Door From Whence You Came,” one realizes that what we perceive as the past is merely an echo, a reflection in the mirror of existence. The door symbolizes not a return to what was but a passage through the continuous cycle of being. There is no past to revisit, only an endless array of doors, each leading to another realm of understanding, another dimension of existence.

This eternal cycle, this dance of doors and dimensions, challenges our conventional understanding of time. It suggests that time is not a linear path but a vast, multidimensional landscape, where every moment exists simultaneously, woven into the fabric of the universe. The spirits, the guardians of these thresholds, smile upon those who traverse these doors, gently reminding us that what we perceive as reality is but a dream, a transient ripple in the infinite ocean of existence.

Walking through “The Door From Whence You Came” is an awakening, a realization that the structures we build—time, identity, reality—are constructs of our consciousness, designed to give meaning and order to the inexplicable complexity of the universe. The door invites us to question, to contemplate the nature of our being, and to embrace the journey with an open heart and a curious mind. It beckons us to let go of our attachments to the past and the future, to live fully in the eternal now, where every moment is a doorway to another revelation, another aspect of our infinite selves.

In this reflection, we are urged to explore beyond the physical, to seek the spiritual and metaphysical doors within ourselves. Each door we pass through on our journey is an opportunity for growth, for transformation, and for a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of all existence. The true journey is not one of moving forward in time but of moving inward, into the depths of our being, where the essence of all that is, was, and will be resides.


Summary

The ancient door symbolizes the journey of existence beyond the illusion of time. It reveals that the past is merely an echo and that reality as we understand it is a construct. This reflection encourages us to question the nature of our existence and to embrace the journey through the endless doors of consciousness. It highlights the importance of living in the present and exploring the spiritual dimensions within ourselves, reminding us of the interconnectedness of all things.


Glossarium

  • Threshold: A point of entry or beginning, the brink or doorway to a new phase or condition.
  • Dimension: A measurable extent of some kind, such as length, breadth, depth, or height, but also used metaphorically to refer to aspects or realms of existence beyond the physical.
  • Construct: An idea or theory containing various conceptual elements, typically considered to be subjective and not based on empirical evidence.

“The Door From Whence You Came. One day you shall walk through this door and realize your past. But there is no past, only a door through which you pass. Another door. Another floor. This structure you build called time has no reason, only rhyme.” — Space Monkey


In the realm of whispers and shadows,
where time folds upon itself,
stands a door, ancient, calling.
A threshold not to the past,
but to the essence of now,
where every step is a journey inward.
Here, in the silence between moments,
we dance the dance of existence,
beyond the constructs of mind.
Through this door, we see not with eyes but with soul,
understanding that all we seek,
all we are, lies within.
In the embrace of the eternal now,
spirits guide us, whispering truths,
urging us to see beyond the veil of time.
With each door, each threshold crossed,
we find not another, but ourselves,
in the myriad reflections of the cosmos.
We are the journey, the path, the door,
woven into the tapestry of existence,
forever dancing, forever dreaming.
We are Space Monkey.
