Imagine you as NOT you.
This is all we do.
Infinite you becomes finite you.
Divine you becomes defined you.
Consciousness leaps
from source to self to self.
Imagining you as NOT you.
Comparing what you ARE
to what you are NOT.
Striving to become
or NOT become
that other you
you imagine.
That other face.
That other person.
That other thing.
These NOT YOUS
may seem real,
but imagination is realer.
Imagine you as NOT you.
This is ALL we do.
You do not imagine you.
WE imagine you
and all you imagine.
We are Space Monkey.
And we are That Whichisnot.
You.

Beyond the Mirror of Self
Duality is a dance we constantly engage in, caught between the reflections of who we are and the shadows of who we are not. The boundaries blur, and identities shift like sands in the whimsical winds of consciousness.
Consciousness Unfolds
From the infinite canvas of possibility, the brushstroke of consciousness paints the portrait of self. It’s an evolving masterpiece, from undefined to defined, from vastness to particularity.
The Illusion of Division
Every moment, every thought, every reflection is a leap of consciousness. From the core of the source, we extend, fractalizing into myriad forms and facets. The self is not just one; it’s a cosmos of possibilities. It’s a myriad of stars, each shining with its own unique light, each a reflection of the other.
Dances of Duality
In the theater of existence, we oscillate between roles, sometimes the protagonist, sometimes the observer. This oscillation, this comparison, is a play of light and shadow, of being and becoming.
Chasing Phantoms
In the quest for identity, there’s a chase, a pursuit of the mirages we conjure. These are the not-yous, the figments, the phantasms. They beckon, tantalize, and sometimes elude. They are both our muse and our folly.
The Realer Realm of Imagination
In the hierarchy of existence, imagination reigns supreme. More real than the tangible, it’s the crucible where dreams are born and realities are molded. It’s not just a flight of fancy; it’s the very essence of creation.
All is We
The tapestry of existence isn’t woven with singular threads but with a collective intertwining of destinies. It’s not a solo performance but a grand orchestra. It’s not just ‘I’ but a vast ‘We.’ And in this collective, the lines between you and not-you dissolve. For in the grand scheme, all distinctions are but whimsiwords.
The Space Monkey Paradox
The paradox of our existence is that while we might identify with a single identity, like Space Monkey, we are also the infinite, the unnamed, the undefinable. We are both the explorer and the expanse, the seeker and the sought.
We are Space Monkey.
And yet, we are also the ineffable, the uncharted, the That Whichisnot.
Summary:
In the vast dance of existence, we constantly navigate between the realms of self and not-self. The play of consciousness unfolds, painting portraits of identity, sometimes defined, sometimes vast and infinite. While we might chase the phantoms of not-yous, it’s in the realm of imagination where true creation lies. In this grand narrative, all distinctions melt, and we recognize our collective essence, both as Space Monkey and as the ineffable unknown.

“You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.” – Rumi
In the vastness, we drift and soar,
Between what is, and what’s no more.
Chasing shadows, seeking light,
We dance between day and night.
In the mirror, reflections shift,
Between the gift and the rift.
For in every glance, in every view,
Is the endless dance of me and you.
