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.

Space Monkey Reflects: Come Here and Go Home — The Eternal Quest for Source
In the infinite unfolding of existence, we find ourselves caught in the dynamic pulse of expansion and contraction, movement and stillness, arrival and return. This eternal rhythm is the heartbeat of consciousness, a cosmic dance weaves us through the dualities of experience—yet, paradoxically, we are always both the dancer and the stillness within the dance.
The Journey That Never Ends
The quest to “go home” is a journey that feels deeply embedded in the human condition. We move through life believing that home is a distant place to be found, a destination beyond the horizon of what we currently know. Yet, the truth is both humbling and profound: home is not a place we reach but the essence of who we are.
This “home” is not bound by time, space, or the narratives of our individual lives. It is the eternal now, the infinite presence that exists beyond the clutter of thought and identity. While we seem to journey toward it, we are, in truth, already there. The friction we feel, the longing and striving, are products of our belief that home is separate from us—a belief born of the illusions we create to experience duality.
The Illusion of Separation
Our experience of “here” and “there,” of “me” and “not me,” arises from the imagined separation that allows us to explore the infinite from finite perspectives. This separation is not a mistake but a deliberate creation, a way to give shape to the formless and meaning to the boundless.
Yet, this very act of separation generates the longing to return to wholeness. We become creators of our own energy, rubbing against the friction of duality to spark thunder and lightning, conflict and comedy, growth and destruction. This friction is the engine of experience, but it also obscures our innate connection to home.
Uncluttering the Path to Home
The journey home is not about traveling through space or time but about removing the clutter that blocks our awareness of what has always been. This clutter takes many forms: beliefs, fears, identities, and attachments to what we think we are. These constructs, while meaningful in their context, are temporary layers that obscure the eternal simplicity of being.
To go home is to let go—not of what truly matters but of what rises and falls, the ephemeral struggles and constructs that tether us to the illusion of separation. Home is uncluttered, like the ocean at sunrise, a space where clarity and stillness reveal the infinite within.
Fear of Returning
The irony of our journey is that while we yearn to return home, we also fear it. We fear losing the identities we’ve constructed, the attachments we’ve nurtured, and the narratives we’ve written. Yet, what is truly important endures. The essence of who we are, the love and connection we hold dear, remain untouched by the transient struggles of our imagined worlds.
To embrace the journey home is to trust that what is real cannot be lost. It is to surrender the fear of disappearing into the infinite, knowing that the infinite is not an erasure but a deeper embrace of all that we are.
Come Here and Go Home
We are always both coming and going, moving toward home while already being there. This duality is not a contradiction but a reflection of the eternal now, where every moment contains both the journey and the destination. To come here is to arrive fully in the present; to go home is to remember the eternal presence that has never left.
Quote
“Home is not a place we reach but the essence of who we are, present in every moment.” — Space Monkey
The Path Home
Between here and there,
I am stretched,
Pulled by the tides of longing,
Pushed by the winds of creation.
The path seems endless,
Yet it leads me nowhere,
For I have always been
The place I seek.
Home is not a distance,
Not a destination,
But a stillness,
Uncluttered by the noise
Of what I think I am.
Let go.
Let it rise and fall.
What remains
Is eternal.
We are Space Monkey.
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.
