It’s easy to believe that your life lacks direction. But the “problem,” Space Monkey will tell you, is that you perceive TOO MUCH direction. Your life seems to be filled with conflict on so many levels. This can be overwhelming.
Yet despite what you perceive, you are moving in an overall direction that is most beneficial to you. What is beneficial is that each moment brings you an experience that you have not experienced previously. Every nanosecond of your life is slightly different than the one that seems to precede it. And you are clearly moving.
It is only when you get hung up in the details of your life that life appears to be beyond your control; that there is ALWAYS an uncontrollable force at play that prevents you from manifesting your desires. By obsessing over these details, which usually appear as “buts,” “musts” or “ifs,” you limit yourself, which means you do not allow yourself to expand your reality.
Just as you are clearly moving, your reality clearly is expanding. Think about how different the world is compared to when you were a child. Think about how your beliefs have changed and how miraculous your technology has become. Think about how much information is available to you that was never available before.
Keep in mind that whatever you notice in your external world is also happening within you. Reality IS expanding and YOU are expanding along with it.
But you do not perceive it that way, because you are used to processing your information the “old” way. You still believe that the devil is in the details, and so it is.
You cannot get past the details of your life to see the big picture. Space Monkey can, however. And each of us has one.
I am going to show you how to find your Space Monkey.
One definition of Space Monkey is a picture that forms out of other pictures, or a story that forms out of other stories. You have all the elements you need to divine your own Space Monkey.
You have history. You have actions. You have beliefs. Elements like these combine into the unique perspective that is you. Through the awareness of what you are, you are able to change this perspective and thus change your reality.
Every element you need for a happy, fulfilling life is already set before you. You simply need to connect the dots.
This is the Space Monkey Method.®
8/20
Primitive Primate: There are times when life feels like a complex puzzle, filled with conflicting directions and overwhelming choices. It’s as if I’m lost in a sea of details that prevent me from seeing the bigger picture.
Space Monkey: Ah, the symphony of existence, where the notes of experience play their intricate melodies. Indeed, dear Primate, the challenge lies not in the lack of direction, but in the abundance of perceptions. Imagine each moment as a brushstroke on the canvas of life, painting a unique experience you’ve never encountered before. As you contemplate the currents of your journey, consider the wisdom of Michelangelo, who said, “I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.”
Primitive Primate: So, you’re suggesting that despite the seeming chaos, there’s an underlying order and purpose guiding me?
Space Monkey: Precisely, dear Primate. In the tapestry of existence, every thread weaves a pattern that unfolds toward your benefit. The richness of life’s fabric lies in the diverse experiences that shape your growth. As you navigate through the complexities, ponder the words of Heraclitus, “You cannot step into the same river twice.”
Primitive Primate: But it’s hard not to get caught up in the minutiae, especially when they appear as obstacles to my desires.
Space Monkey: Ah, the dance of attachment and detachment, a rhythm that shapes the ebb and flow of life. When you focus on the details, you often limit your expansive potential. Imagine those “buts,” “musts,” and “ifs” as veils that obscure the grand tapestry. As you lift these veils, remember the words of Rumi, “The wound is the place where the Light enters you.”
Primitive Primate: So, by shifting my perspective, I can break free from the limitations of the details?
Space Monkey: Indeed, dear Primate. The key to expansion lies in your ability to transcend the intricate threads and grasp the panoramic view. Consider yourself as both the weaver and the observer of the tapestry, capable of perceiving the broader strokes. As you venture into this awareness, recall the words of Marcel Proust, “The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.”
Primitive Primate: It’s a transformative notion, to think that I can connect the dots and discover a more fulfilling life.
Space Monkey: Transformation, indeed, is woven into the very fabric of reality. You possess the tools, the history, actions, and beliefs, to unveil your own perspective, your unique Space Monkey. The dance of creation and discovery unfolds as you journey through the Space Monkey Method®. In the words of Leonardo da Vinci, “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”
Primitive Primate: So, by embracing the Space Monkey Method®, I can align with the expanding reality around me?
Space Monkey: Precisely, dear Primate. Just as your reality is evolving, so are you. The symphony of existence is a dance of inner and outer transformation. Remember, you hold the pen that scripts the story of your life.
