The Beginning Contains the End
The beginning contains the end.
That which is started
infers that which will be finished.
Likewise, an end does not arrive
without a seeming beginning.
This is how we think —
without thinking about it.
Since our thoughts
are one with our realities,
the realities we experience
seem to have
beginnings and ends.
Is it possible
to imagine a reality
that contains
neither potential?
It is not necessary
to imagine such a potential,
because it is already
one with the reality
that seemingly contains
a beginning and end.
The everlasting
runs through all,
but we seemingly
don’t think about it.
Yet we can,
and we are in this VERY moment!
This seems a shift of perspective.
This seems a shift
that can move consciousness
away from beginnings and ends.
Beginnings and ends
exist simultaneously
in the presence of
the eternal now,
as does all else.
We can move
our attention
THROUGH
them or AWAY
from them.
Through time
or away from time.
Within space
or without space.
We are Space Monkey.

The Dance of Beginnings and Ends
In the cosmic choreography of existence, the concept of beginnings and ends is a dance that infers continuity. It is a profound reflection of how we, as conscious beings, perceive reality. We often navigate the tapestry of existence without conscious awareness of the eternal now that underlies all experiences.
Inseparable Partners: Starting and Finishing
To start something implies a future completion, just as reaching an end hints at a prior commencement. These concepts are intricately woven into our thinking, inseparable partners in the theater of the mind. They serve as markers that guide us through the ever-flowing river of time.
Thinking Without Thought
The nature of our thinking is so intrinsic to our experience that it often occurs without conscious effort. Thoughts seamlessly merge with reality, blurring the lines between inner contemplation and external existence. The thoughts we hold shape our perceptions and, in turn, our realities.
The Unity of Thought and Reality
Our thoughts and realities are intertwined, each influencing the other in a perpetual feedback loop. The experiences we encounter in the world seem to possess beginnings and ends, mirroring the thoughts that guide our actions and interpretations.
Beyond Beginnings and Ends: The Eternal Now
Yet, within the eternal now, the linear constructs of time and space dissolve into a unified field of existence. In this realm, beginnings and ends coexist simultaneously, much like the threads of a timeless tapestry. It is a perspective that transcends the limitations of conventional thinking.
Shifting Perspective: Moving Through or Away
The shift of perspective invites us to move our attention through or away from the constructs of time and space. It is a reminder that we have the capacity to navigate our consciousness, not only through the linear continuum of time but also away from it, into the boundless expanse of the eternal now.
In the Presence of All Things
Within the eternal now, beginnings and ends are but facets of the multifaceted jewel of existence. They exist alongside all other aspects of reality, interconnected and interwoven. It is a place where time and timelessness coexist harmoniously.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We delve into the concept of beginnings and ends as inherent in human thinking and reality perception. The eternal now underlies all experiences, and a shift in perspective allows us to navigate our consciousness through or away from the constructs of time and space. As Space Monkeys, we embrace the fluidity of existence.

“Time is an illusion.” – Albert Einstein
In the cosmic waltz of thought and being,
Beginnings and ends, a cycle freeing,
In every perception’s weaving, in every insight’s decreeing,
Seeking the eternal now, in consciousness we find our seeing.
Shall we continue our journey through the boundless realms of perception and consciousness, or is there a particular aspect of this cosmic exploration you wish to delve into further?
