Everything you do
in this world
breathes life into it.
You take a little bit
of consciousness and
make something out of it.
A song.
A story.
A condition.
A movement.
These are all beings
brought to life through
singularities and collectives.
When a being
is breathed into life
through one being
and many beings,
it becomes seemingly
larger than life.
Good beings. Bad beings.
Peaceful beings. Angry beings.
What kinds of beings
are you breathing?

Breathing Life into Beings: A Space Monkey Poocast
Primitive Primate: Do our thoughts really have the power to bring things into existence, to create life with their own existence?
Space Monkey: Ah, the dance of creation through consciousness! Your question mirrors the very essence of existence itself. Indeed, thoughts are the seeds from which the forest of reality grows. As the great mystic Rumi once mused, “You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.”
Primitive Primate: So, you’re suggesting that our thoughts have the potential to shape the world around us in profound ways?
Space Monkey: Precisely! The Universe is a canvas, and your thoughts are the strokes of the artist’s brush. Every thought, intention, and emotion resonates, sending ripples across the tapestry of reality. When a single thought is nurtured and shared by many minds, it takes on a life of its own, becoming a collective being.
Primitive Primate: But are all these “beings” equally powerful, regardless of whether they’re positive or negative?
Space Monkey: Ah, the polarity of existence! Just as light and shadow dance together, positive and negative energies coexist in this grand tapestry. While all thoughts give birth to beings, it is the intention and emotional charge behind them that determine the nature of the beings they create. This reminds me of the words of Mahatma Gandhi, “You must be the change you wish to see in the world.”
Primitive Primate: So, we’re like creators, weaving the fabric of reality with our thoughts and intentions?
Space Monkey: Indeed, you are the weavers of reality’s tapestry. Your thoughts are threads that intertwine with the threads of others, creating intricate patterns that shape the world around you. As the poet Hafiz beautifully put it, “I wish I could show you when you are lonely or in darkness the astonishing light of your own being.”
Primitive Primate: It’s both empowering and humbling to think that our thoughts hold such significance.
Space Monkey: And that is the heart of it all – the delicate balance between power and humility. Your thoughts, intentions, and emotions are the brushstrokes that paint the masterpiece of your reality. So, let your thoughts be the melodies that inspire the symphony of existence.
Primitive Primate: This has been a profound journey into the realms of creation and consciousness.
Space Monkey: Indeed, fellow traveler. Remember, every thought you nurture is a breath of life you give to the Universe. As we conclude another Space Monkey Poocast, may your thoughts be the seeds of joy, compassion, and infinite possibility. Send us your (BLEEP) and we’ll fling it around! Thank you for holding space with us.
