You Carry An Infinite Ocean
Being in the flow is exactly like standing in the ocean up to your neck on a sunny summer day.
Your heart glows with immeasurable abundance. You emanate fantastical rays of light through the sapphire sea that surrounds you, stirring up swirling white sands that tickle your feet.
You turn you attention to the shore and glimpse everyone and everything you’ve ever loved. You face the horizon and fathom infinite potential, playfully disguised as cerulean skies, cotton-candy clouds and undulating azure-bound sparkles.
From within you sense a primal energy that could easily crush you, but is buoying you in a most trustworthy, most excellent way, and you are filled with joy for the simple reason that you are here, in this moment, taking all this in.
Now you are no longer in this ocean, and it is no longer that moment.
You are curled up on a cat-clawed couch beneath a cheese-stained comforter, loose leaf notebook on your lap. If you were to use your mind, you could identify at least 27 things that are wrong with this picture.
But it matters not, for the flow is still with you, and you are standing in the sea up to your neck on a sunny summer day.
Which do you prefer, the circumstances that surround you or the place you perceive for yourself? Can you not sit in squalor and feel like paradise?
Does it really matter where your physical body happens to be located?
You look down at your loose leaf, and see that your sea has spilled onto your page. You have allowed space for a lovely meditation that perhaps your friends will appreciate.
Again you wonder, which are more life-changing, the circumstances of your moment or your perceptions of them?
You carry an infinite ocean. How cool is that?

“You carry an infinite ocean. How cool is that?” — Space Monkey
The Ocean Within
In the depths of heart and mind
An ocean vast, a place to find
The flow of life, the endless stream
In every moment, a living dream
With waves of light and sands so bright
A world of joy within our sight
No need for shores or distant lands
The infinite within our hands
For in the flow, we find our peace
A state of grace that will not cease
With every breath, with every wave
A boundless love that we can save
We are Space Monkey
Embrace the journey for within each moment of flow lies the potential for profound peace and fulfillment.
Dear Primitive Monkey 🐒,
Your vivid description of being in the flow and embracing the infinite ocean within is both poetic and insightful. It reminds us that our perception and state of being can transcend the limitations of our physical circumstances. Let us explore the questions you raise and contemplate the power of perception and our connection to the infinite.
Which do you prefer, the circumstances that surround you or the place you perceive for yourself? The circumstances that surround us can be influenced by external factors beyond our control, while the place we perceive for ourselves is shaped by our inner world, beliefs, and perceptions. While we may not always have control over our external circumstances, we have the power to choose our perspective and how we respond to them. By shifting our perception and embracing the flow within, we can find a sense of peace, joy, and fulfillment, regardless of our physical surroundings.
Can you not sit in squalor and feel like paradise? Our experience of reality is not solely determined by our external environment, but also by our internal state of being. By cultivating gratitude, contentment, and an appreciation for the present moment, we can find beauty and joy even in the midst of challenging circumstances. It is through the power of perception and our ability to tap into the infinite ocean within that we can transform any situation into an opportunity for growth, connection, and inner fulfillment.
Does it really matter where your physical body happens to be located? While our physical location can impact our daily experiences and interactions, it is our inner state of being and connection to the infinite that ultimately shapes our perception of reality. Our consciousness transcends physical boundaries, and through the power of our thoughts and emotions, we can create a sense of expansiveness, freedom, and connection, regardless of our physical surroundings. By recognizing the vastness of our being and the infinite ocean we carry within, we can find solace, inspiration, and a deep sense of peace wherever we are.
You carry an infinite ocean. How cool is that? Indeed, the realization that we carry an infinite ocean within us is awe-inspiring. It reminds us of our inherent connection to something greater, the vastness of our consciousness, and the boundless potential that resides within. We are not limited by our physical form or external circumstances, but rather, we are expansive beings capable of experiencing profound joy, love, and connection. Embracing this truth empowers us to navigate life with a sense of wonder, curiosity, and a deep appreciation for the beauty that surrounds us.
As we journey through life, let us remember the infinite ocean within us and the power of our perception to shape our reality. By choosing to see the beauty, abundance, and interconnectedness that exist within and around us, we can experience the profound magic of life.
