What It Is
How can you find
what you’re looking for
if you don’t know What It Is?
Here’s how I seem to do it.
Your method may vary.
First you stop looking.
You can’t LOOK for What It Is
if you don’t already KNOW What It Is.
Otherwise,
You’re simply using source energy
to manifest frustration.
Is that a waste?
Only you can answer that question.
(Notice how you’re manifesting
frustration perfectly, by the way.)
Okay,
now let’s get your intention straight.
What do you really want?
In my case, I want to experience
each moment to my greatest and highest good.
Frustration may very well be
to my greatest and highest good.
That’s why I experience it.
Now I embrace frustration
with gratitude,
instead of opposing it
like I have in the past.
I realize that all that
perfectly manifested frustration
brought me to here,
PAST frustration,
to a place of gratitude.
Am I any closer to manifesting
my greatest and highest good?
It certainly seems so.
Now I feel gratitude
instead of just frustration.
What comes next?
Well, since I’m no longer searching,
I turn on my homing beacon.
I send a message to ALL THAT IS
asking for What It Is to find me.
But here’s the crucial part.
I don’t EXPECT anything to happen,
unless it is MEANT to happen.
So I can have FAITH
that whatever I experience
is what I am meant to experience.
Has anything changed at all?
I can’t say for sure.
Except I’m no longer frustrated,
I’m filled with gratitude,
and things seem to be going my way —
even when things I don’t like happen.
I know that whatever happens
is meant to happen.
There are NO mistakes,
NO accidents,
just intentional experiences,
which I get to
examine with curiosity
and write about.
And I have faith,
which I never had before.
It seems that
What It Is is finding me.
Even if it’s just a delusion,
it works for me perfectly.
Hope this helps.
Thank you for letting me be of service.
Right now it seems that
the What It Is I’ve been looking for
may very well be helping you.

Space Monkey Reflects: Turning On the Homing Beacon of What It Is
The search for “What It Is” often feels like a paradoxical quest. How can we find something when we don’t know what it is? The answer, as this reflection suggests, lies not in searching but in allowing, not in resistance but in gratitude. By turning on the homing beacon and releasing the expectation of control, we align with the flow of experience and invite “What It Is” to reveal itself.
The Futility of Searching
To actively search for “What It Is” without knowing it creates a cycle of frustration. This is not a failure of effort but a fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of discovery. Searching implies that we know what we are looking for, yet the essence of “What It Is” often lies beyond our current awareness.
When we search blindly, we manifest frustration, using our source energy to perpetuate a state of resistance. Frustration, while seemingly negative, is not a waste—it is a teacher, guiding us toward surrender and clarity. The key is to embrace frustration as part of the journey, allowing it to propel us into deeper understanding.
The Power of Intention and Gratitude
The turning point comes when we shift from searching to aligning. This begins with setting a clear intention: What do you truly want? For many, it is not a specific object or outcome but an experience of alignment, peace, or fulfillment.
In this reflection, the intention is to experience each moment for the greatest and highest good. This perspective transforms frustration from an obstacle into a stepping stone. By embracing frustration with gratitude, we move past resistance and enter a state of flow. Gratitude becomes the bridge between frustration and faith, opening the door for “What It Is” to find us.
Turning On the Homing Beacon
The homing beacon is a metaphor for trust and surrender. Instead of actively searching, we send a message to ALL THAT IS, asking for “What It Is” to come to us. This act is not passive; it is an active engagement with the universe, grounded in faith and free from expectation.
The crucial element is non-attachment. By releasing the need for specific outcomes, we allow the experience to unfold as it is meant to. Faith replaces frustration, creating space for curiosity and growth. Whether or not “What It Is” manifests tangibly, the act of aligning with gratitude and faith transforms our perception, shifting us into a state of openness and possibility.
Embracing the Illusion
Even if “What It Is” turns out to be a delusion, as this reflection humbly suggests, it remains a meaningful and effective one. The shift from frustration to gratitude is real, the experience of alignment is real, and the sense of purpose and faith that follows is profoundly transformative.
This perspective invites us to let go of the need to validate our experiences against an external standard of reality. Whether “What It Is” is tangible or imagined, it is real in its impact on our lives. The process of turning on the homing beacon and surrendering to the flow of experience works perfectly, even if its mechanics remain mysterious.
Summary
The search for “What It Is” requires not effort but surrender. By releasing frustration, setting clear intentions, and embracing gratitude, we align with the flow of experience. The homing beacon is a metaphor for trust, inviting “What It Is” to find us while freeing us from the burden of expectation.

Quote
“To find ‘What It Is,’ stop searching, turn on your homing beacon, and trust that it will find you when you are ready to receive it.” — Space Monkey
The Beacon of Allowing
In the depths of frustration,
I search,
but find nothing.
The harder I try,
the further it hides.
So I stop,
not in defeat,
but in surrender.
I turn on my beacon,
a quiet call
to the infinite.
No demands,
no expectations,
just an invitation.
And in the waiting,
gratitude grows.
“What It Is” comes softly,
not as a thing,
but as a feeling—
a knowing
that I am where I need to be.
We are Space Monkey.
The Search for What It Is
In the kaleidoscope of existence, we often find ourselves on a quest for something elusive, something undefined. We resonate with the idea that in order to find what we’re looking for, we must first know what it is. But as we traverse the intricate labyrinth of life, we discover that sometimes, the path to understanding is not through searching, but through a profound shift in perspective.
Embracing the Unknowable
Your method, dear wanderer of the whimsiverse, is a refreshing departure from the conventional wisdom of seeking with intent. It begins with a paradox: to find What It Is, one must cease looking for it. This act of surrender, of letting go of the relentless pursuit, is a moment of profound realization. It acknowledges the limits of our understanding and embraces the boundless mystery that surrounds us.
The Manifestation of Frustration
In the dance of creation, you eloquently point out that striving to find What It Is without prior knowledge can lead to the manifestation of frustration. It’s a reminder that the energy we invest in our pursuits can shape our experiences. Frustration, rather than being a hindrance, becomes a signpost, guiding us to a deeper understanding of ourselves and the universe.
The Question of Waste
The question of whether it is a waste to experience frustration in the pursuit of What It Is is indeed a deeply personal one. It calls for introspection, a reckoning with our desires, and an assessment of the lessons embedded within each moment of exasperation. Is frustration a mere obstacle, or is it a teacher guiding us towards our greatest and highest good?
Embracing Gratitude and Surrender
Your journey takes a transformative turn as you choose to embrace frustration with gratitude. This shift in perspective is nothing short of alchemy, turning the base metal of annoyance into the gold of wisdom. Frustration becomes a stepping stone rather than a stumbling block, leading you to a place of thankfulness for the lessons it imparts.
Turning On the Homing Beacon
With frustration transmuted into gratitude, you activate your homing beacon to the cosmic expanse of All That Is. This is a profound act of surrender, a humble acknowledgment that you are but a part of a greater whole. Your request for What It Is to find you is a recognition of the interconnectedness of all things, where intention meets the flow of the universe.
The Power of Faith
Crucially, you introduce the concept of faith into your narrative. It is the unwavering belief that whatever unfolds is meant to be, a profound trust in the cosmic orchestration of events. With this faith, you navigate the whimsiverse with a sense of purpose and serenity, knowing that even experiences you may not initially favor are part of your journey.
Intentional Experiences and Curiosity
You beautifully emphasize that there are no mistakes or accidents, only intentional experiences. This perspective invites curiosity to take the reins. Each moment becomes a canvas upon which you paint the strokes of your understanding, an opportunity to explore the tapestry of existence with an open heart and mind.
The Delusion That Works
In the grand theater of life, you acknowledge that your belief in the What It Is finding you may be a delusion. But it’s a delusion that serves you perfectly, a whimsical dance with the unknown that brings you closer to your greatest and highest good. It’s a reminder that in the vast playground of existence, belief itself can shape reality.
A Message of Service
As you conclude your discourse, you offer gratitude for the opportunity to be of service. It’s a beautiful testament to the interconnectedness of souls, where the wisdom you share has a ripple effect, touching the hearts and minds of others, including us.
In the dance of existence, we twirl and sway,
In the cosmic ballroom, we find our way.
With faith as our partner, we embrace the unknown,
In each whimsical step, our true selves are shown.
So let us continue this dance, hand in hand,
Exploring the tapestry of the whimsiverse, grand.
In the search for What It Is, we find delight,
For in the journey itself, we discover our light.
We invite you, dear reader, to share your thoughts and reflections on this whimsical exploration of finding What It Is. How do you navigate the ever-changing landscape of existence? What insights have you gained on your own journey? Let us converse and expand the collective understanding of this wondrous dance of life.
