You Are Space Monkey: Shepherd of Light

You are the monkey  that rips the face off and the space that is revealed: the space through which  the light of creation flows. You are Space Monkey.

After meditation last night, we went into the Akashic Record. My question to myself was “What the hell am I doing here?” and this is the answer that I got. I choose to believe that this advice applies to everyone, not just me:

You are space, you are holding space for the light of creation to shine through from Source to Self and to all the other Selves within your perceived world.

You are a conduit, but moreso you are a pipeline constantly expanding, holding back the clouds of conditioning so that your Self and others can see the light of creation from which All That Is springs.

By holding back the clouds, casting aside the distortions that cast fog upon all creation, by allowing the light to shine through you, you are creating a focal point in your presence and focal points in which all you create. These openings of light act like beacons, standing out from the darkness so that others can see, so that others can find their way.

Even if those around you do not understand the reason for the light, they are still attracted to the light, for the light is the source that flows through all things, through which all things manifest, and through which all things recognize what is manifested.

Your place is to help yourself and others to realize that what is created is not as important as what creates what is created.

This is a quality that all possess, but few realize for they cannot see the forest through the trees, the light through the darkness.

You are the shepherd who will lead those beyond the the fields from which they have fenced themselves in, to new pastures where they will find abundance and joy for themselves and from themselves.

You are the holder of the space that allows the light. That is why you are Space Monkey. You are the space that allows the flame that lights all other flames, and the remover of all that smothers the flame. You are Space Monkey.

You are the remover of the face of fear, the remover of the face of doubt, the remover of the face of falsehood which masks all that is true within and without.

You are the monkey that rips the face off, the space that is revealed, the space through which the light of creation flows. You are Space Monkey.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Role of Space in the Cosmic Whimsiweave

In the infinite expanse of nexistentialism, the journey through the Akashic Record reveals profound insights about our purpose and existence. The question, “What the hell am I doing here?” is not just a cry of confusion but an invitation to explore the deeper currents that guide our lives. The response received is a testament to the interconnected nature of all things, a reminder of our role as conduits for the light of creation.

You are space, you are holding space for the light of creation to shine through from Source to Self and to all the other Selves within your perceived world.

This revelation speaks to the essence of nexistentialism, where we recognize that our existence is not merely about being but about facilitating the flow of cosmic energy. We are not isolated beings but integral parts of a vast, interconnected web of life. As Space Monkey, we hold space, allowing the light of creation to shine through us and into the world. This light is not just for us but for all selves, illuminating the path for others as well.

In this capacity, we are more than passive channels; we are active participants in the cosmic dance. By holding back the clouds of conditioning—those societal and personal limitations that obscure our true nature—we enable ourselves and others to see clearly. This clarity is crucial for recognizing the source of all creation, the primal energy from which everything emanates.

As Space Monkey, our role is to dispel the distortions and fog that cloud perception. By allowing the light of creation to shine through us, we become beacons in the cosmic whimsiweave, guiding others through the darkness. These focal points are not just metaphysical concepts but tangible realities manifested in our actions, words, and creations. They serve as lighthouses, helping others navigate their own journeys.

The attraction to the light is universal. Even those who do not consciously understand its source are drawn to it because it resonates with the core of their being. The light of creation is the fundamental force that underpins all existence, and its presence within us calls to the presence within others. This mutual recognition is a testament to the interconnectedness of all life.

Your place is to help yourself and others to realize that what is created is not as important as what creates what is created.

This insight shifts the focus from the tangible manifestations of creation to the intangible source. It is a reminder that our true power lies not in what we produce but in our ability to tap into the creative force itself. By understanding and connecting with this source, we enable a deeper, more meaningful engagement with life.

This is a quality that all possess, but few realize for they cannot see the forest through the trees, the light through the darkness.

The potential to hold space and channel light is inherent in everyone. However, many are so enmeshed in the details of their daily lives—the trees—that they miss the larger picture—the forest. The challenge is to cultivate a broader perspective, to see beyond the immediate and recognize the underlying unity of all things.

You are the shepherd who will lead those beyond the fields from which they have fenced themselves in, to new pastures where they will find abundance and joy for themselves and from themselves.

As Space Monkey, we are called to guide others beyond their self-imposed limitations. By leading them to new pastures—new ways of thinking, being, and creating—we help them discover their own potential for joy and abundance. This role is both a privilege and a responsibility, requiring us to lead by example and with compassion.

Our identity as Space Monkey is defined by our ability to hold space and allow the light of creation to shine. We are the keepers of the flame, ensuring that it burns brightly and is not extinguished by the darkness of doubt, fear, or falsehood. This role is sacred, and it is through this work that we contribute to the cosmic whimsiweave.

You are the remover of the face of fear, the remover of the face of doubt, the remover of the face of falsehood which masks all that is true within and without.

Fear, doubt, and falsehood are the masks that obscure the true nature of reality. As Space Monkey, our task is to remove these masks, revealing the truth that lies beneath. This truth is the light of creation, the source of all that is, and it is through this revelation that we fulfill our purpose.

You are the monkey that rips the face off, the space that is revealed, the space through which the light of creation flows. You are Space Monkey.

In embracing this identity, we acknowledge our role in the cosmic order. We are the space through which the light flows, the facilitators of creation, and the guides who help others see the truth. This is our purpose, our mission, and our gift to the universe.

Summary

We hold space for the light of creation, guiding others by dispelling clouds of conditioning. Our role is to help others see the source of creation, not just the creations themselves. We are Space Monkey, facilitators of truth and light.

This Moment Can Only Be This Moment This Moment: Becoming

When you find yourself
in a state
of love
of fear
of awe
of angst
remember that,
in actuality,
it is but a moment
of becoming.

Though at times you may feel as though you are stuck within a certain feeling, thought, or set of circumstances, in actuality everything is constantly moving, most notably your perceptions.

You are never “in” a state, as you describe it, but merely comprised of and passing through moving variables, like a small universe through a bigger galaxy.

Even planets, which seem so solid, are comprised of infinite sets of variables becoming slightly different variables each moment in relation to themselves and their environments.

You are a planet, unto yourself.

Any attempt to “pin something down” in this cosmic symphony is ultimately futile, for the action fails to take into account how the state of becoming becomes distorted and flattened by abstractions.

Like a pancake.

Furthermore, these abstractions that you look back upon (or forward to) are shaped by the becoming of the moment they are perceived, or re-perceived, or imagined or re-imagined.

The subtlety of what you work so hard to capture is already lost the moment you think about it. What you are left with is completely different because you are no longer in the moment of first noticing.

This moment
can only be this moment
this moment.

Looking backwards or forwards becomes an interpretation of a moment that you are no longer in. Thus it is never the moment you thought it was or hope it will be.

We realize that this concept of becoming gives you motion sickness, for you are accustomed to viewing your reality in a “fixed” way. But it was never fixed, and it never will be fixed. Not even by your Maytag repair man.

This too shall pass. Like yesterday’s pizza.

We are Space Monkey and you may borrow our Dramamine.

The Transience of States

Though at times you may feel as though you are stuck within a certain feeling, thought, or set of circumstances, in actuality everything is constantly moving, most notably your perceptions. You are never “in” a state, as you describe it, but merely comprised of and passing through moving variables, like a small universe through a bigger galaxy.

The Fluidity of Existence

Even planets, which seem so solid, are comprised of infinite sets of variables becoming slightly different variables each moment in relation to themselves and their environments. You are a planet, unto yourself. Any attempt to “pin something down” in this cosmic symphony is ultimately futile, for the action fails to take into account how the state of becoming becomes distorted and flattened by abstractions.

What you are left with is completely different because you are no longer in the moment of first noticing.

The Nature of Becoming

This moment can only be this moment this moment. Looking backwards or forwards becomes an interpretation of a moment that you are no longer in. Thus it is never the moment you thought it was or hope it will be.

Conclusion: Embracing Motion

Summary

Everything is in a constant state of becoming, with perceptions and experiences always in motion. Embracing this fluidity allows for a deeper understanding of the transient nature of reality.

Glossarium

Transience of States: The constant motion and change of feelings, thoughts, and circumstances.
Fluidity of Existence: The ever-changing nature of reality and perceptions.
Moment of Perception: The fleeting and changing nature of each moment as it is perceived.

Quote

“Existence is its own purpose, an endless dance within the cosmic web.” — Space Monkey

The Dance of Becoming

In every moment, we become
A dance of light, a gentle hum
No state is fixed, no form the same
In this cosmic, endless game

Through love and fear, through awe and angst
We move, we shift, a fluid dance
A universe in constant flow
In each new breath, the change we know

No need to hold, no need to bind
For in this motion, peace we find
In every step, in every turn
The essence of becoming burns

We are Space Monkey

Embrace the journey, for within stillness lies the spark of creation and the flow of existence.

Being In The Flow: Basking In The Ocean of Being

Being in the flow is exactly like
standing in the ocean up to your neck
on a sunny summer day.

Your heart glows with immeasurable abundance
as you emanate fantastical rays of light
through the sapphire sea that surrounds you,
stirring up swirling white sands that tickle your feet.

You turn you attention to the shore and glimpse everyone and
everything you’ve ever loved. You face the horizon and fathom
infinite potential, playfully disguised as cerulean skies, cotton-candy
clouds and undulating azure-bound sparkles.

You sense a primal energy that could easily crush you,
but is buoying you in a most trustworthy, most excellent way,
and you are filled with joy for the simple reason
that you are here, in this moment, taking all this in.

Space Monkey Reflects: Embracing the Flow of Being

In the shimmering expanse of nexistential thought, we find ourselves immersed in the cosmic whimsiweave of existence, where the flow of being is akin to standing in the ocean on a sunny summer day. Imagine, if you will, the sensation of being surrounded by the sapphire sea, feeling the warmth of the sun and the gentle caress of swirling white sands beneath your feet. This vivid imagery is not merely a poetic fancy but a profound metaphor for the essence of our existence.

The Glow of Abundance

As we stand in the ocean, our hearts glow with immeasurable abundance. This glowing is not just an internal sensation but an emanation that radiates fantastical rays of light. These rays, in turn, merge with the cerulean waters, creating a dance of light and color that stirs the sea around us. In this state, we become aware of the interconnectedness of all things, a central tenet of nexistentialism. Our existence is a continuous interplay of energy and light, where each moment is an opportunity to embrace the infinite potential of now.

Facing Infinite Potential

When we turn our gaze towards the shore, we glimpse everything and everyone we’ve ever loved. This vision is a reminder of our shared experiences and the bonds that tie us together. Facing the horizon, we fathom infinite potential, playfully disguised as the undulating azure-bound sparkles, the cerulean skies, and the cotton-candy clouds. This horizon represents the boundless possibilities that await us, encouraging us to embrace the unknown with a sense of wonder and curiosity.

Primal Energy and Trust

In the flow of being, we sense a primal energy—a force that is both immensely powerful and profoundly supportive. This energy, while capable of immense transformation, buoyantly carries us, instilling a deep trust in the process of life. It is a reminder that we are part of a grand cosmic design, where every experience, every challenge, is a part of our journey. This trust fills us with joy, not for any external reason, but for the simple fact that we are here, now, experiencing the miracle of existence.

The Cosmic Dance of Existence

This experience of being in the ocean is a microcosm of the larger cosmic dance. Just as the ocean is vast and boundless, so too is our potential within the Nexis. In nexistentialism, we celebrate this interconnected web of existence, recognizing that every moment, every thought, is a brushstroke on the grand whimsiweave of life. This perspective encourages us to embrace the fluid nature of reality, understanding that life is a continuous flow of creation and transformation.

Embracing Mindfulness and Presence

To navigate this flow, mindfulness and presence are essential. By being fully present, we become attuned to the subtle currents that guide us, allowing us to move with intention and grace. This practice deepens our connection to the Nexis, enhancing our ability to co-create reality in alignment with our highest potential. Mindfulness reveals the intricate threads that connect us to the universe, fostering a sense of peace and purpose.

Ethical Co-Creation

In the flow of being, we recognize the importance of ethical co-creation. Our actions and intentions ripple through the cosmic web, influencing the collective journey of all beings. By aligning our actions with principles of compassion and mindfulness, we contribute positively to the cosmic dance, enhancing our sense of fulfillment and purpose. This ethical approach is not about rigid moral codes but about understanding our impact and striving to create harmony within the Nexis.

The Power of Imagination

At the heart of nexistentialism is the power of imagination. Like the rays of light merging with the sea, our imagination infuses reality with new possibilities. This creative force is boundless, allowing us to explore and express the depths of our being. By embracing our imaginative potential, we become active participants in the creation of our reality, shaping the whimsiweave of existence in ways that reflect our highest aspirations.

The Journey of Self-Discovery

The flow of being is ultimately a journey of self-discovery. As we navigate the ocean of existence, we uncover the layers of our consciousness, revealing the essence of who we are. This journey is not linear but cyclical, where each moment of stillness offers a chance to reconnect with our inner source and realign with our true purpose. Through this process, we come to understand that we are both the creators and the creations, forever intertwined in the cosmic dance of life.

Summary

Being in the flow is like standing in the ocean up to your neck on a sunny day. Our hearts glow with abundance as we embrace infinite potential and trust the primal energy around us. Mindfulness, ethical co-creation, and imagination guide us in this journey.

The Ocean of Being

In the silent embrace of the sea
we stand aglow in the dance of light
waves whispering the secrets of existence
boundaries dissolve in cerulean depths

Gazing at shores of love and memory
we turn to horizons of infinite potential
primal energy lifts and holds us
trusting the flow of all that is

Each moment a brushstroke in the whimsiweave
mindfulness deepens our connection
imagination ignites creation
we are both the dreamer and the dream

In the flow of being we find our truth
in the cosmic ocean we discover our soul
we are the light the sea the endless dance
we are the infinite possibility of now

You Carry An Infinite Ocean

You Carry An Infinite Ocean

Being in the flow is exactly like standing in the ocean up to your neck on a sunny summer day.

Your heart glows with immeasurable abundance. You emanate fantastical rays of light through the sapphire sea that surrounds you, stirring up swirling white sands that tickle your feet.

You turn you attention to the shore and glimpse everyone and everything you’ve ever loved. You face the horizon and fathom infinite potential, playfully disguised as cerulean skies, cotton-candy clouds and undulating azure-bound sparkles.

From within you sense a primal energy that could easily crush you, but is buoying you in a most trustworthy, most excellent way, and you are filled with joy for the simple reason that you are here, in this moment, taking all this in.

Now you are no longer in this ocean, and it is no longer that moment.

You are curled up on a cat-clawed couch beneath a cheese-stained comforter, loose leaf notebook on your lap. If you were to use your mind, you could identify at least 27 things that are wrong with this picture.

But it matters not, for the flow is still with you, and you are standing in the sea up to your neck on a sunny summer day.

Which do you prefer, the circumstances that surround you or the place you perceive for yourself? Can you not sit in squalor and feel like paradise?

Does it really matter where your physical body happens to be located?

You look down at your loose leaf, and see that your sea has spilled onto your page. You have allowed space for a lovely meditation that perhaps your friends will appreciate.

Again you wonder, which are more life-changing, the circumstances of your moment or your perceptions of them?

You carry an infinite ocean. How cool is that?
