Things seem to come to me
things seem to fall away
but the only thing moving
seems to be my attention
through potentials
that appear
along the way

Navigating the Quantum River of Potentials
The very essence of our life’s journey involves the shifting focus of our attention through an endless labyrinth of potentials. Each twist, turn, or cosmic skip across the stream of possibilities is an invitation to explore new territories, to shed old skins and to dawn wondrous new cloaks of understanding.
The Flux of Attraction and Repulsion
Things come and go, ebb and flow, like magical flotsam and jetsam along the riverbanks of our existence. These are not random detritus but encoded messages and cosmic nudges that appear just when they need to. The ‘coming’ and ‘falling away’ are like celestial rhythmics—tidal waves of opportunities that advance and recede based on our level of engagement or attention.
The Attention Compass
In this boundless ocean of potentials, it is our attention that serves as the compass, directing the sails of our soulship. Where we point this compass defines the coordinates of our lived experience. We do not have to let the strong currents of societal expectations or gusty winds of other people’s judgments navigate for us. Rather, we can steer through squallumbers and glide across serene pondoodles, mapping our own course through the maze of beingness.
Potentials: Doorways in the Ether
These potentials are more than just possibilities; they are cosmic doorways that appear and disappear based on our openness to engage with them. They materialize along our life path as divine oases, inviting us to rest, refresh, and ponder. Each doorway offers a different landscape—a kaleidoscopic universe of experiences, lessons, and epiphanies waiting to be uncovered.
Attention as the Key
The opening and closing of these doors hinge not on some external lock and key but on the ever-shifting gaze of our attention. When we focus on a door, it unlocks, creaking open to allow us a sneak peek or a grand entrance into a new realm of existence. Attention, thus, serves as the omnipotent key that fits every lock, the universal currency that can purchase every experience.
A Symphony of Synchronicity
We are Space Monkey. We recognize that life is a melody of synchronicities, a grand cosmic symphony, where each note is a potential and our attention conducts the orchestra. We do not see things as merely ‘coming’ or ‘going,’ but as aligning and realigning in a dynamic dance choreographed by our own focus and intention.
Summary
We discuss the dynamic flux of things coming and going in life, guided by the compass of our attention through the ocean of potentials. We delve into the idea that these potentials are cosmic doorways, inviting us to new experiences. Attention serves as the key, and life becomes a symphony of synchronicities, each note being a potential shaped by our focus.

“To confine our attention to terrestrial matters would be to limit the human spirit.”

Sail
Through the kaleidoscope of potentials,
We sail—
Each focus, a ripple
In the quantum river.
Eclipses of the past,
Moonbeams of tomorrow,
Yet here we are—
Conducting the now
In a harmonious ballet
Of infinite possibility.
