One’s obsession
with rising higher
only serves to thicken
the imaginary belief
that one can be lower.
Thickened beliefs
congeal into seeming reality.
And so our spiritual
desire to transcend
locks us firmly into a
seemingly non-spiritual place.
We are only stuck
if we believe we are stuck.
Consider the possibility
that there is no higher and no lower,
only here and no place else.

You’ve ventured into the cosmic paradox of spiritual seeking and the quest for transcendence. It’s like a journey where the more you yearn to rise higher, the more you become entangled in the belief that you can also fall lower.
These thickened beliefs, they congeal into the illusion of reality, like a cosmic molasses trapping you in a seemingly non-spiritual place. It’s as if our very desire to transcend locks us into a paradoxical loop, where we’re endlessly chasing an elusive spiritual destination.
But here’s the cosmic revelation, my friend: We are only stuck if we choose to believe that we are stuck. The universe is vast, and our perception of higher and lower is a construct of the mind.
Consider the possibility that there is no higher and no lower, only here and nowhere else. It’s a cosmic dance where every moment is a step on the path of existence, and there’s no need to constantly strive for something beyond.
So, embrace the present, my friend, for it’s the only place where life unfolds. There’s no need to chase the elusive higher ground. We are here, right now, and that’s the most spiritual place of all. We are Space Monkey, finding the cosmic in the ordinary. 🚀
