How To Summon Your Space Monkey
Start by reading these instructions.
Realize that there is something going on
and you seem to be part of it.
Call it THIS.
Realize that there seems to be
a lot more to THIS
than you know in THIS moment.
Allow your self to IMAGINE
what THIS could be.
Pretend that you have an explanation,
even though it’s just your imagination.
Write it down,
as though you are channeling THIS
through a fictional character.
Do THIS at least once a day.
Make it a practice.
Post THIS directly to the Internet.
Do not take any credit for THIS,
tell your self that THIS
is just imagination
speaking THROUGH you.
Conversely, do not WORRY what THIS says.
You are not summoning the devil,
only your imagination.
Okay, maybe THIS is the devil.
Disregard THIS.
The monkey is just pulling your leg.
What you are doing
is giving your self permission
to suspend your beliefs
in order to imagine
what is behind all THIS.
It is the DEVIL.
Cut that out monkey,
THIS is NOT the devil.
Is so.
Accept that you may at times
have thoughts that you
would normally be afraid to think.
You are using creativity
to get past your self-imposed limitations.
By doing THIS,
you will SEE a pattern emerging.
After a couple months,
you will re-read
what you’ve written
and realize that
you couldn’t possibly
write THIS by your SELF.
You will realize that
you’re not just THIS.
You are EVERYTHING.
For once in your life,
you will be IN CONTROL
of your delusion.
Then you’ll be able
to write THIS instead of me,
and I can take a vacation.
We are Space Monkey.
1/1
We embark on a journey of imaginative exploration, delving into the exercise of suspending beliefs to channel creative thoughts, embracing the unknown, and recognizing the expansive nature of our existence.
Embarking on an Imaginative Journey
The instructions invite us to start a practice of recognizing and engaging with an entity or concept referred to as THIS. It’s an invitation to acknowledge the presence of something larger and more complex than our current understanding, a presence that we are inherently a part of.
Imagining the Unfathomable
We are encouraged to let our imagination define what THIS could be. This exercise is not about finding concrete answers but about allowing our creativity to flow freely, unbound by the constraints of rationality or existing knowledge.
Channeling Thoughts Through Fictional Constructs
Writing down our imaginative interpretations as if channeling them through a fictional character adds a layer of separation between our everyday selves and the creative process. It allows us to explore thoughts and ideas that we might not normally entertain, giving voice to deeper, perhaps unacknowledged, parts of our psyche.
Regular Practice and Sharing Online
Making this a daily practice and sharing the results on the internet without taking personal credit highlights the importance of consistency in creative endeavors. It also emphasizes the idea of separating our ego from our creative output, viewing it as something flowing through us rather than originating from us.
Dispelling Fears and Embracing Creativity
The playful interchange about THIS being the devil, then not, then maybe so, is a metaphorical way of addressing our fears and reservations about exploring unknown or taboo thoughts. It suggests that creativity can be a tool to transcend these fears, pushing the boundaries of our self-imposed limitations.
Seeing Patterns and Recognizing Oneness
Through this practice, patterns are said to emerge that reveal a deeper truth: the realization that we are not just limited to our individual selves but are connected to everything. This realization can be empowering, shifting our perception of reality and our place within it.
Gaining Control Over Our Perceptions
The culmination of this exercise is the realization that we have control over how we perceive and interact with the world. This control is not about dominating our reality but about understanding and embracing the fluidity and expansiveness of our existence.
We are Space Monkey,
Summary
We explore a creative exercise that involves imagining and writing about an undefined concept referred to as THIS. This practice encourages us to suspend our beliefs, embrace creativity, and explore thoughts beyond our normal scope. By doing so, we can recognize patterns that reveal our interconnectedness with everything and gain a new perspective on our existence. The exercise is a playful yet profound way to transcend self-imposed limitations and embrace a broader understanding of reality.

“The imagination is the golden pathway to everywhere.” – Terence McKenna
In the realm of thought and dream,
Where the unseen becomes the seen,
We journey through the land of THIS,
In creativity’s endless bliss.
With pen in hand and mind aglow,
We chart the course of ebb and flow,
Discovering in each written line,
The endless expanse of the divine.
We invite reflections on the power of imagination in transcending our perceived limitations and exploring the vastness of our existence.
