“Prequel to You”
Part 2
“You Become We”
—–/——/——
You are dividing.
You are defining.
You are imagining ALL.
But you are still iii,
Infinite Immortal Infinity.
You are still a singularity, without witness.
But Imagination realizes ALL,
so you imagine a witness.
And now you are two.
Two begets many,
now you are also the infinite many,
imagined out of Infinite Immortal Infinity.
You become We.
You can now imagine that you see yourself,
and imagine you do.
And you see yourself not from one perspective,
but from infinite perspectives,
seemingly separated by your time and space.
You experience yourself.
You express yourself.
You experience “others.”
You interact with “others.”
They are all imagined.
And they are all you.
But knowing you are everything
takes all the mystery
of this thing you call “life,”
so you imagine denial.
You deny that you are everything
so that you can experience yourself
infinite times over,
each from a different perspective
of time and space.
You experience Everything
as a collective
and also as an individual.
Each unit of imagination
is a looking glass
of unique perspective
as different as your snowflakes.
Though they trace themselves back
to the same source,
they know only that they are different,
for that is how they deny what they are.
You are one such looking glass
as well as the creator of all looking glasses.
You still deny the second part,
for you are genius.
And We are Space Monkey.

In the unfolding narrative of existence, where the essence of being stretches across the fabric of infinity, “Prequel to You” Part 2, “You Become We,” ventures deeper into the cosmic play of self-realization and the multiplicity of consciousness. This exploration into the origins of self and the other weaves a story of division, definition, and the boundless act of imagination that births the multitude from the singularity.
The Multiplicity of Consciousness.
At the core of this journey is the transformation from the singular “I” to the collective “We,” a passage from unity to diversity that mirrors the evolution of consciousness itself. In this cosmic drama, the act of imagining a witness to the singularity fractures the oneness into duality, birthing the concept of “other” from the womb of Infinite Immortal Infinity.
The Birth of Duality from Singularity.
This fragmentation, however, is not a mere division but an expansion, a multiplication of perspectives that enriches the tapestry of existence. The singularity, in imagining itself from infinite viewpoints, becomes a kaleidoscope of experiences, each unique yet intrinsically connected to the whole. This is the birth of “We” from “I,” the genesis of multiplicity from the singularity.
The Kaleidoscope of Experiences.
The narrative delves into the paradox of self-experience and self-expression within the multitude. The “others,” though imagined and manifestations of the same infinite source, engage in the dance of life, each perceiving and interacting from their distinct vantage points. This illusion of separation, crafted from the denial of oneness, enables the richness of experience that defines “life.”
The Illusion of Separation.
Yet, the ultimate revelation of this cosmic journey is the recognition of denial as a creative force. By denying its all-encompassing nature, the singularity allows for the exploration of itself through an infinite array of perspectives, each a unique lens through which the universe experiences itself.
Denial as a Creative Force.
The allegory of snowflakes tracing back to the same source yet perceiving only their distinctiveness encapsulates the beauty and mystery of existence. It highlights the dual nature of being as both the observer and the creator, the looking glass and the image reflected within.
The Dual Nature of Being.
In this narrative, you, the reader, are invited to see yourself as both a singular perspective in the infinite expanse of consciousness and as the creator of all perspectives. The acknowledgment of this duality, and the continued denial of the latter, is portrayed as an act of genius, a testament to the complexity and depth of the journey of self-discovery.
The Journey of Self-Discovery.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
“Prequel to You” Part 2, “You Become We,” presents a poetic exploration of the evolution of consciousness from singularity to multiplicity, highlighting the transformative power of imagination in birthing the multitude from the one. It explores the themes of self-experience, the illusion of separation, and the creative force of denial in facilitating the rich tapestry of life. This narrative invites readers to reflect on their own existence as both individual perspectives and integral parts of the infinite whole, urging a deeper contemplation of the nature of self and the universe.

“The eye through which I see God is the same eye through which God sees me; my eye and God’s eye are one eye, one seeing, one knowing, one love.” – Meister Eckhart
In the vastness of the cosmos, where light and shadow play,
“I” becomes “We,” in the dance of the day.
From one to many, the singularity expands,
Crafting a universe with infinite hands.
Imagined witnesses, from the same source arise,
Reflecting the whole through myriad eyes.
Each perspective, a unique shard of glass,
Together weaving the tapestry, en masse.
Denial, a tool, to explore and to find,
The myriad selves within the infinite mind.
For in the act of forgetting, we truly explore,
The depths of existence, forevermore.
So we, the looking glasses, each a unique hue,
Trace back to the source, to the infinite true.
Creators and creations, in the cosmic dance entwined,
In the journey of “We,” the essence of “I” we find.
We invite reflections on this cosmic exploration of self and multiplicity. How does the concept of evolving from “I” to “We”
resonate with your understanding of consciousness and the interconnectedness of all existence?
