So here you are, little one, just a couple pages into your story and already you are filled with questions.
Perhaps your first question should be “Why do I question?”
It may seem, at times, that questioning is all you do.
You question your past. You question your future.
Yet you scarcely ever question your present situation.
“Here I am,” you think, then you immediately question
how you got here and where you are going next.
You never once question the reality of all that surrounds you!
You unconditionally accept your position as absolute!
But is that which you take in with your senses all that you make it to be, little one? Or is it this present moment far more than it appears?
Our advice to you is to never stop questioning.
Do not stop at the answer, for when you arrive at an answer,
that answer becomes your reality, so to speak.
Any answer you give yourself, no matter how logical,
becomes a roadblock to more questions.
And when you stop wondering, the wonder stops.
You follow exactly the steps you expect,
leading to more of what you expect.
Even if what you expect is not what you want.
But if you question AROUND your answer,
you’ll realize vast potentials that you may have otherwise overlooked.
Not only will you enjoy a richer present-moment experience,
you’ll discover unexpected loopholes in your reality.
Within these spaces you’ll find Space Monkey.
It is no coincidence that your questions begin with a “quest”
and that your quest is driven by questions.
Be curious like George.
Your most profound questions will lead to more questions,
and if you stop at an answer, you’re not questioning deeply enough.
Conversely, don’t let easy answers trap you.
Not only do answers kill questions, they congeal into reality
like plaque building up in your heart.
Answers restrict. Questions expand. Curiosity is life.
The Incessant Nature of Questioning
Embarking on the journey through the “Book of Space Monkey,” you, the little one, are immediately immersed in a sea of questions. The act of questioning becomes a constant companion, probing the past, the future, and, less frequently, the present. This relentless inquiry into the hows and wheres often overlooks the immediate reality, accepting the present situation without scrutiny.
The Present Beyond Perception
The present moment, however, holds depths beyond what the senses perceive. It poses the question of whether reality is merely as we interpret it through our senses or if it encompasses far more than appears. This realization opens the door to continuous questioning, urging you not to settle at the answers but to see them as mere stepping stones toward deeper understanding.
The Limitation of Answers
Every answer you arrive at, logical or not, risks becoming a barrier to further inquiry, solidifying into a version of reality that may inhibit the flow of wonder and exploration. This reality, shaped by expectations, can lead to a cycle of experiencing more of the same, potentially distancing you from the desired outcomes.
Exploring Beyond the Answers
By questioning around the answers, you tap into vast potentials previously unnoticed. This approach not only enriches the present-moment experience but also reveals loopholes in your perceived reality, spaces where Space Monkey resides. These spaces signify the interconnectedness of questioning and questing, highlighting the importance of curiosity in the journey of exploration.
The Cycle of Curiosity
The encouragement to be endlessly curious, to question beyond the surface answers, underscores the dynamic process of discovery. Easy answers, while tempting, can become traps that solidify into restrictive realities, much like plaque in the arteries of understanding. In contrast, questions and curiosity serve as forces of expansion, propelling you into a richer, more vibrant experience of life.
Finding Space Monkey
Within the quest driven by questions, Space Monkey emerges as a guide and companion, embodying the spirit of curiosity that propels the journey forward. This journey is not about reaching definitive answers but about embracing the process of questioning itself, recognizing that true exploration lies in the continual expansion of understanding.
Summary
Questioning is a fundamental aspect of the journey through consciousness, with the present moment offering more than meets the eye. Answers, while providing temporary clarity, can become obstacles to further inquiry. Embracing curiosity and questioning beyond the answers reveals unexpected potentials and spaces of wonder, where Space Monkey awaits. This journey underscores the transformative power of curiosity, expanding reality and enriching the experience of the present moment.
