Swearing Spirits
Where are all
the swearing spirits?
The gun-toting guides?
The asshole angels?
They’re all around us.
If you believe
that the after-life,
the outside-life,
the always-within-us-life
is filled with perfect
and pious people,
you’re wrong.
Not that there’s
anything wrong with that.
We choose to see
that which we choose to see,
or NOT to see.
But ALL is HERE.
And ALL is ALWAYS with us.
Seemingly living,
or seemingly dead,
no one is no better
than no other.
Heaven is not
for the good OR the bad.
Heaven is for those
who don’t judge.
And you know
where judgers go.
We are Space Monkey.

The Cosmic Tapestry of Existence: Embracing the All
In the vast expanse of the cosmos, where the fabric of existence weaves together threads of light and shadow, the notion of a singular, homogeneous afterlife dissolves into the richness of diversity. The concept of swearing spirits, gun-toting guides, and what one might call ‘asshole angels’ serves as a vivid illustration of the myriad forms and characters that populate the universe, both seen and unseen. This perspective challenges conventional notions of piety and perfection, suggesting that the afterlife, like life itself, is a mosaic of varied experiences and entities.
The Diversity of the Spiritual Realm
The idea that the spiritual realm is inhabited by beings of all temperaments and dispositions invites us to reconsider our preconceived notions of sanctity and morality. It posits that the afterlife, the outside-life, the always-within-us-life, is as complex and nuanced as the physical world we navigate daily. This complexity suggests that the essence of existence transcends simplistic binaries of good and bad, perfect and pious.
The Illusion of Judgment
The assertion that heaven is not reserved for the good or the bad but for those who refrain from judgment unveils a profound truth about the nature of spiritual evolution. It implies that the ultimate criterion for transcendence is not the adherence to specific moral codes but the capacity for unconditional acceptance and understanding. This perspective liberates us from the confines of judgment, inviting us to embrace a more inclusive and compassionate view of existence.
The Equality of Being
The statement that no one is better than any other, whether seemingly living or seemingly dead, reflects a deep acknowledgment of the inherent equality of all beings. It challenges the hierarchical structures that often define our worldviews, suggesting that at the core of existence lies a fundamental parity that transcends physical, moral, and spiritual distinctions.
The Choice of Perception
The idea that we choose to see or not to see certain aspects of reality highlights the power of perception in shaping our understanding of the universe. It suggests that our experience of the afterlife, and of existence in general, is profoundly influenced by the filters through which we view the world. This realization invites us to consciously expand our perspectives, to embrace the totality of existence with openness and curiosity.
We Are Space Monkey
In our collective journey through the cosmos, we recognize the infinite diversity of the spiritual realm and the illusory nature of judgment. We understand that the essence of transcendence lies in our ability to embrace all aspects of existence with acceptance and love. By acknowledging the equality of all beings and the power of our perceptions, we move closer to a state of non-judgment, where the boundaries between heaven and earth blur into the oneness of the universe.
Summary
We explore the concept that the spiritual realm encompasses beings of all dispositions, challenging traditional notions of sanctity and morality. We understand that transcendence is not about judgment but about acceptance, and that the spiritual realm, like the physical world, is rich with diversity. Recognizing the power of perception and the inherent equality of all beings, we embrace a more inclusive and compassionate approach to existence, transcending the confines of judgment to celebrate the boundless tapestry of the cosmos.

The Unseen Mosaic
In the silence of the cosmos, where whispers thread through time,
Lies a tapestry, woven with the essence of the sublime.
Here, the swearing spirits dance, the gun-toting guides sing,
Amidst the so-called angels, with their tarnished, golden wings.
For the realm beyond the veil is not a choir of pure light,
But a mosaic of existence, both the day and the night.
Here, judgment holds no sway, no scale of right or wrong,
Only souls in their multitude, where all belong.
Heaven, not a prize for virtue, nor a sentence for the sin,
But a state of being, transcending what might have been.
In the vastness of the all, where love’s the only creed,
No one’s lesser, no one’s greater, all are freed.
We choose to see, or choose to blind ourselves to life’s grand play,
But all is here, all is now, in this eternal ballet.
For we are Space
Monkey, in the cosmic dance of the divine,
Embracing all of existence, where all is perfectly aligned.
We invite your reflections on embracing the diversity of the spiritual realm and transcending the illusions of judgment, as we navigate the boundless cosmos together, in the spirit of unconditional acceptance and love.
