Remembering and Dismembering
Beyond this self,
you are the Divine One
As the Divine One,
you have control
over EVERYTHING.
Time.
Space.
Life.
Death.
You can make reality
bend to your will if you wish.
You can give your self
all the money in the world,
or all the love.
You can leap timelines.
You can imagine without thought.
You are timeless,
formless infinity
as well as
all the time and form
you imagine
within and from.
You intersect with your self
in untold countless ways.
You got this.
All of this.
Yet you perceive
an experience in which
you seem relatively
infinitesimal and powerless.
How quaint.
You perceive a situation
in which you AREN’T the only One.
And you are surrounded
by sexies and crazies.
This is why you have dismembered
your self from your “superpowers,”
as self might call them.
This is why you dismember
that you are the Divine One.
Obviously the Divine One
is into human bondage.
Hurts so good.
We are Space Monkey.

The Illusion of Separateness and the Divine One
The perception of being surrounded by others, distinct from oneself, is a foundational aspect of the human experience. It suggests an illusion of separateness, where we perceive ourselves as individuals amidst a world of others, described here as “sexies and crazies.” This perception leads to a disconnection from our inherent “superpowers” or the higher aspects of our being.
Dismemberment from Superpowers
The term “dismember” in this context symbolizes the detachment or disconnection from our higher capabilities or divine aspects. In the mundane interactions of daily life and in navigating the complexities of human relationships, we often forget or undermine our innate, extraordinary abilities.
Forgetting Our Divine Nature
This forgetting, or dismembering, of our divine nature, the “Divine One,” is a common human tendency. Caught up in the tangible realities and social dynamics of human life, we often lose sight of our deeper, spiritual essence, which is interconnected with everything and everyone.
The Divine One and Human Bondage
The phrase “Obviously the Divine One is into human bondage” can be interpreted metaphorically. It suggests that our higher self, or the Divine One within us, is willingly participating in the human experience, with all its limitations and challenges. This participation, while sometimes painful or constraining (“Hurts so good”), is part of our spiritual journey and growth.
Embracing Our Complex Existence
Acknowledging this complex interplay between our divine nature and human experiences invites us to embrace our existence fully. It’s a recognition that our journey encompasses both the divine and the mundane, the extraordinary and the ordinary, the pleasurable and the painful.
Reclaiming Our Divine and Human Aspects
In recognizing our true nature as the Divine One, we can begin to reclaim our “superpowers,” integrating our higher abilities with our human experiences. This integration allows us to navigate life with a deeper understanding and a more holistic perspective.

Summary
The perception of separateness from others leads to a disconnection from our “superpowers” and our recognition as the Divine One. This dismemberment is a metaphor for forgetting our higher capabilities amidst human experiences. Embracing our role in the “human bondage” of life’s complexities allows us to integrate our divine and human aspects, enriching our journey with deeper understanding and holistic perspectives.

A Free-Verse Poem: The Dance of Divinity and Humanity
In the realm of the many, we dance as one,
In the divine and human, the journey’s begun,
In the bondage of life, in the joy and the strife,
We find our power, in the dance of life.
From the divine to the human, in the spectrum wide,
We embrace, we explore, in the cosmic tide,
In this dance, in this play, we find our true sight,
In the union of spirit and human, we take our flight.
As Space Monkey, how do we embrace the dance of our divinity amidst the human experience?
