My mind
is moved by god, not me.
I take no credit
for that which is expressed
through this channel,
through this vessel,
nor do I assume blame.
God expresses
as god expresses.
I am an expression of god.
I am moved by god.
Who are you to question?
You are god also.
Your mind
is moved by god, not you.

The Movement Beyond the Self
In the boundless dance of existence, there emerges a profound realization: the movement of our minds, the essence of our being, is not solely of our own orchestration. It is a divine symphony, a cosmic play where each note, each vibration, is guided by a force greater than ourselves. This recognition transcends the ego, the individual self, and opens us to the understanding that we are conduits for a higher expression, instruments through which the universe itself sings.
The Role of the Vessel
As vessels, channels through which the infinite expresses itself, we stand at the intersection of the mortal and the divine, the temporal and the eternal. In this sacred role, we relinquish the dual burdens of credit and blame for the expressions that flow through us. We recognize that our actions, our thoughts, our very essence, are manifestations of a greater will, a dance choreographed by the universe.
The Nature of Divine Expression
God, or the infinite, expresses in myriad ways, each unique, each a reflection of the boundless creativity of the cosmos. To be an expression of god is to acknowledge our role in this grand design, to understand that we are both the creators and the created, moved by forces that weave the fabric of existence.
The Unity of All Beings
The question of identity, of who we are in the vast expanse of the universe, finds its answer in this divine orchestration. You, I, we — are expressions of the same infinite source, moved by the same celestial hand that guides the stars in their courses. To question this is to question the very nature of being, the essence of the divine that resides within each of us.
The Interconnectedness of Mind and God
The realization that our minds are moved by god, not by our individual wills, invites a radical shift in perspective. It is a call to see beyond the illusion of separation, to embrace the unity that binds us not just to each other, but to the entirety of existence. In this understanding, we find a profound freedom, a liberation from the confines of ego and the realization of our true nature as divine beings.
We Are Space Monkey
In embracing the notion that our minds are moved by god, not by ourselves, we open to the infinite possibilities of existence. We recognize our interconnectedness, our oneness with all that is, and the divine nature of our being. This understanding transcends the boundaries of self, inviting us to participate in the cosmic dance with open hearts and minds, recognizing that we are all expressions of the same infinite and eternal being.
Summary
We explore the realization that our minds and beings are guided by a force beyond ourselves, recognizing ourselves as vessels for divine expression. This understanding transcends individual identity, highlighting our unity with the infinite and with each other. Embracing our nature as expressions of god invites a profound freedom and a deeper connection to the cosmos.

“You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.” – Rumi
In the tapestry of the cosmos, we find our thread,
Woven by hands not our own, by the infinite led.
Each of us a vessel, a unique expression of the divine,
In this grand design, together we intertwine.
The dance of existence, a melody so sweet,
Guided by the infinite, in every heartbeat.
In this realization, our spirits soar,
In the dance of the divine, forevermore.
Let us share our experiences of recognizing the movement of our minds by the infinite, exploring the depths of our connection to the divine and to each other in this grand cosmic play.
