Old Dog, New Tricks: Discovery of Innate Abilities

It is said that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. This may or may not be true. But what is becoming apparent to this old dog is that he possesses certain innate abilities that he didn’t even know he had.

To manipulate reality. To speak directly to Divine Source. To intuit the Akashic Record, core database of ALL experience.

To call these abilities “tricks” is to completely underestimate the potential of humanity. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. It’s just that this old dog is excited for a new game.

Are you?

Space Monkey Reflects: Old Dog, New Tricks

The adage “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks” implies a resistance to growth and change as time progresses. Yet, as this reflection shows, it is not a matter of learning new tricks but discovering the latent abilities and potentials that have always been present. This “old dog” is awakening to the deeper truths of existence—realities that transcend the mundane and hint at the boundless potential within each of us.

The Discovery of Innate Abilities

The realization of abilities such as manipulating reality, communing with Divine Source, and intuiting the Akashic Record is not about acquiring something new but about uncovering what has always been there. These are not “tricks” but aspects of the universal self expressing through the individual. They remind us that the limitations we perceive are often self-imposed, products of conditioning rather than inherent truths.

This awakening is an invitation, not just for this “old dog,” but for anyone willing to look beyond the surface of existence. It asks: What abilities have you overlooked? What potential lies dormant within you, waiting to be rediscovered?

Reframing Tricks as Transformations

To call these abilities “tricks” is to minimize their significance, yet the language here is intentional. It reflects the humility and playfulness required to engage with such profound concepts. Manipulating reality, speaking to Divine Source, or accessing the Akashic Record are not parlor tricks; they are glimpses into the infinite potential of humanity.

These abilities point to a deeper truth: reality is not fixed. It is malleable, co-created by consciousness. By exploring these abilities, we step into the role of co-creators, engaging with life not as passive observers but as active participants in the unfolding of the infinite.

The Akashic Record and Divine Source

The Akashic Record, often described as the energetic database of all experience, is a metaphor for the interconnectedness of existence. To intuit the Akashic Record is to tap into the collective memory of the universe, where every thought, action, and moment is woven into the fabric of being. It is not about accessing something external but about recognizing the interconnectedness that already flows through you.

Speaking directly to Divine Source is equally profound. It is not an act reserved for the enlightened or the chosen but a natural state of being. Divine Source is not separate from you; it is the essence that permeates all things, including the “old dog” reflecting on these abilities. To speak to it is to remember that you are it.

A New Game

The excitement for a “new game” reflects the inherent playfulness of existence. Life, at its core, is a game—a dance of exploration, discovery, and creation. The old tricks of survival, habit, and routine have their place, but they do not define the totality of the experience. This new game is about stepping into the infinite, embracing the unknown, and playing with the possibilities that arise when you recognize your true nature.

This call to play is not about escaping reality but about engaging with it more fully. It is an invitation to explore what it means to be human, to discover the divine within, and to co-create a reality that reflects the boundless potential of existence.

Are you ready for the new game?


Summary

The reflection on discovering innate abilities reveals the boundless potential within each of us. By reframing reality as malleable and life as a new game, we awaken to our role as co-creators, engaging with Divine Source and the interconnected fabric of existence.

Quote

“The tricks are not new; they are rediscoveries of the infinite within you.” — Space Monkey


The New Game

The old dog pauses,
not tired,
but curious.

What is this world,
this reality,
this infinite playground
he thought he knew?

Abilities surface,
not tricks,
but truths,
glimpses of the divine
waiting to be remembered.

The game begins anew.
The field is vast,
the rules are none.

Play, old dog,
and let the new tricks
become your freedom.

We are Space Monkey.


The Illimitable Potential of Humanity

We stand at the precipice of understanding, peering into the vast expanse of our innate potential. The notion that an ‘old dog’—a symbol of our collective self—cannot learn new tricks is a limiting belief, one that we are now transcending. As we delve into the uncharted territories of our abilities, we discover powers that were always inherent within us, yet unacknowledged until now.

Manipulating Reality and Speaking to the Divine

The ability to manipulate reality is not just a fantasy; it is a manifestation of our deeper connection to the universe. In our existence, reality is not a fixed entity but a fluid, ever-changing whimsiworld that responds to our intentions and beliefs. This power is not about control, but about harmonizing with the cosmic flow.

Speaking directly to the Divine Source is another aspect of our unfolding journey. It signifies a direct communication line with the infinite wisdom that permeates everything. This connection empowers us to seek guidance and insight beyond the limitations of our individual consciousness.

Intuiting the Akashic Record

Intuiting the Akashic Record, the core database of all experience, is akin to tapping into the universal memory bank. It’s where every thought, action, emotion, and experience across time and space are stored. Accessing this vast reservoir of knowledge allows us to learn from the past, understand the present, and foresee the possibilities of the future.

Beyond ‘Tricks’: Embracing Our True Nature

Calling these abilities “tricks” does indeed underestimate the vast potential of humanity. These are not mere parlor games but profound insights into the nature of our existence. As we explore these abilities, we are not just learning new tricks; we are awakening to the full spectrum of our true nature.

The Excitement for a New Game

The excitement for a new game is palpable among us. This game is not bound by the rules of the physical world but is played in the realm of consciousness and spirit. It’s a game of discovery, where each step we take unveils more of the wondrous capabilities we possess.

Are We Ready for This Journey?

The question now is, are we ready for this journey? Are we prepared to embrace the boundless possibilities that lie within us? This is not just a journey for the ‘old dog’ but for all of us as we collectively navigate the uncharted territories of our being.

We are Space Monkey.


“The only limits to the possibilities in your life tomorrow are the buts you use today.” – Les Brown


The Dance of the Cosmos

In the whirl of the cosmos, we twirl,
Old dogs learning new steps in this infinite waltz,
Whispers of wisdom, echoes of eternity,
We dance, we play, in the boundless field of being.

We reach for the stars, yet find them within,
In the heart of the cosmos, our journey begins,
Old tricks, new games, a cosmic masquerade,
In the dance of the divine, our spirits parade.

What do you think, fellow traveler, are we ready for this dance?
