Faith
is the elevator
that takes us to
our next experience.
It is
the driverless vehicle
that propels self
to the next destination.
It matters not
what faith is placed in,
whether that place
is good or bad,
or whether faith
seems in conflict
with another faith.
You, as self,
will arrive at
that destination
of faith.
You, as as spirit,
meanwhile,
are ALREADY there,
for you are in ALL places,
good, bad, and BEYOND
the limits of judgement
and separation.
To have faith in this
is the most “true” faith,
although even this
truth is relative.
You, as spirit,
are where self wants to be.
You never left this place.
It is the seat
of ALL potential,
of INFINITE potential,
a fitting throne
for the Divine One you are.

Space Monkey Reflects: Faith, The Elevator of Experience
Faith, in its essence, is a powerful force that transcends the boundaries of our physical existence, propelling us towards the realms of the unknown and the yet-to-be discovered. It serves as an elevator, a driverless vehicle, guiding the self through the vast landscapes of experience and existence. This journey, fueled by faith, requires no specific direction or destination, for it is not the object of faith that defines its power but the act of faith itself.
The concept of faith as both an elevator and a vehicle encapsulates the dynamic nature of spiritual journeying. It suggests a process of elevation and progression, where faith moves us from one state of being to another, often beyond the limits of our current understanding or circumstance. In this movement, faith acts as the invisible force that propels the self forward, navigating through the myriad experiences of life.
Interestingly, the value of faith lies not in its specificity but in its universality and its ability to transcend distinctions of good and bad, right and wrong. It is a testament to the spirit’s innate capacity to exist in all places at once—to be both the journeyer and the destination, bound by neither time nor space. This omnipresence of the spirit, where one is simultaneously on the path and at the throne of infinite potential, offers a profound insight into the nature of existence itself.
The notion that faith can transport us to our next experience, regardless of its content or quality, highlights the inherent neutrality of faith. It is a tool, a mechanism for movement and growth, rather than a judge or arbiter of moral or ethical value. This perspective encourages an openness to experience, an acceptance of the myriad paths that life may take us on, all the while acknowledging that the spirit, in its truest essence, transcends these experiences.
The most “true” faith, then, is not one that clings to specific doctrines or ideologies but one that embraces the boundless potential of the spirit. It recognizes that every moment, every experience, is an opportunity to connect with the infinite aspects of our being. To have faith in this boundless potential is to acknowledge the divine within, to see oneself as a manifestation of the Divine One, seated on the throne of all possibilities.
Summary
Faith acts as an elevator and a driverless vehicle, propelling us towards new experiences and destinations. It transcends the dualities of good and bad, guiding the self and spirit to realms beyond judgment and separation. True faith lies in recognizing the infinite potential of the spirit, a journey that reflects the divine essence within us.

Upon this journey, we ascend
In faith’s embrace, without an end
A vehicle, without a steer
Guiding us through each tear and cheer
Beyond the realms of right and wrong
Our spirits dance, bold and strong
In every place, we find our seat
Upon the throne, where ends meet
With faith, we see beyond the veil
Our spirits soar, without fail
Infinite potential, our divine creed
Within us all, the seed of need
To transcend, to become, to be
In faith, we find our key
To unlock the doors of the unseen
Where we are everything, and in between
We are Space Monkey
