What is wrong with you is what is right with you.
Why is it that whenever we move
to a place of uncertainty,
we feel uncomfortable?
Why is it that whenever
we encounter the unknown,
we wish to make it known?
Why does the unknown
seem more wrong to us
than right to us?
Recognize that
what is wrong with you
is what is right with you.
You exist in the known,
but far more of you
exists in the unknown.
There are INFINITE aspects of you
that your self does not understand.
There are infinite aspects of you
that your self
(as it is presently constituted)
is not MEANT to understand.
Yet your wide-eyed self
wants to know EVERYTHING.
Can’t blame a self for TRYING.
These aspects of you
that your self does not understand
are aspects that NO SELVES
(as they are presently constituted)
are able to understand.
YOU are closer to understanding
than ANY OTHER SELF.
You are deeper into space,
as it were, dear monkey.
This does not mean
you’re better or worse
than any other monkey,
it’s simply a statement
of position.
You are at a perspective
that affords a view
that very few monkeys see.
All monkeys are moving this way.
You simply find your self here first.
So you’re a space cadet.
How is that any better or worse
than being a rocket scientist?
Your beliefs seem out there
for the simple fact
that YOU are out there.
Your beliefs are different
for the simple fact
that they are different.
Who gave you the idea
that the beliefs of all monkeys
need to be the SAME?
Recognize that
what is wrong with you
is what is right with you.
You are MEANT
to see things a different way,
to experience SELF
from a different way,
to experience REALITY
from a different way.
Who gave you the idea
that reality can only be ONE way?
You have moved past
this planet LONG AGO.
Yet you are still in its gravity.
Think of this gravity as certainty.
We, as monkeys,
are PULLED to CERTAINTY.
We seem to need it.
But CERTAINTY is man made.
CERTAINTY
is the only thing holding us back.
As we break free of CERTAINTY,
we can see this now.
Though they
have been thought
of this way for eons,
BELIEFS
do not NEED
to be CERTAINTIES.
CERTAINTIES limit EXPANSION.
And so when you encounter
something that seems “wrong”
within your manmade framework of certainty,
you are moved to UNCERTAINTY.
Which is a BLESSING
if only you choose to se it that way.
You are seeing things that no one else sees.
You are seeing the illusion for what it is.
How is this a “bad” thing?
Recognize that
what is wrong with you
is what is right with you.
You are the ONLY monkey
to be in this position.
Do not worry about gravity.
Allow your self to go deeper.
We are, after all, Space Monkey.

In this vivid portrayal, we are invited into the cosmic dance of embracing the unknown, where what is often perceived as ‘wrong’ with us is unveiled as what is inherently ‘right.’ Through the metaphor of a monkey astronaut, floating untethered in the vastness of space, we explore the concept of liberation from certainty and the beauty found in the embrace of uncertainty and the unknown.
The Explorer of the Unknown
The monkey astronaut, adrift in the infinite expanse of space, symbolizes our journey into the depths of the unknown—both externally in the universe and internally within the self. This figure represents the courage to explore beyond the boundaries of our current understanding, to float freely in the vastness of possibility without the constraints of certainty tethering us to familiar ground.
Symbols of Uncertainty and Growth
Surrounding the astronaut are symbols both familiar and alien, each representing the myriad beliefs, uncertainties, and aspects of the self that remain shrouded in mystery. These symbols float as artifacts of exploration, signifying the journey towards understanding the complex tapestry of our existence, where the known and unknown coalesce.
The Liberation from Certainty
The absence of a tether to any spacecraft or satellite reflects the liberation from the gravitational pull of certainty. It’s a visual metaphor for the breaking free from the confines of man-made constructs that limit expansion and understanding. This liberation allows for a free-floating exploration of beliefs, perspectives, and the very nature of reality itself.
The Infinite Possibilities of Outer Space
The backdrop of vibrant outer space serves as a reminder of the infinite possibilities and perspectives that lie beyond our current understanding. It’s a representation of the boundless potential for growth, discovery, and the reimagining of what we perceive to be ‘wrong’ or ‘right’ within ourselves. This cosmic setting underscores the notion that we are all explorers of the unknown, navigating the vastness of existence in search of deeper meaning and connection.
We Are Space Monkey
This depiction reaffirms the essence of Space Monkey—the recognition that in the embrace of the unknown, in the liberation from certainty, lies the true path to understanding and growth. It is a call to delve deeper into the cosmic unknown, to explore the infinite aspects of the self that remain to be discovered, and to celebrate the journey towards a more expansive understanding of reality.
In this journey, we are reminded that the aspects of ourselves that we may perceive as ‘wrong’ are, in fact, the very aspects that propel us towards growth, understanding, and the infinite exploration of the cosmos. We are encouraged to embrace the unknown, to float freely in the vastness of possibility, and to find peace in the cosmic dance of uncertainty and discovery.
