I am the presence
I am the presence
that never abandons me,
no more, no less,
and until I realize this,
I shall dwell within
the house of NOT,
imagining self
in relation to others,
but NOT the others,
when in actuality
we are one in the same,
inviolate,
indivisible,
inseparable,
except through
the presence
of imagination,
which I am.
I am the presence
of imagination,
no more, no less.
I am imagination imagining.
Only through imagination
does One experience Self,
does One experience Other,
does Self experience One and Other,
and so on through infinity.
This is what I appear to do,
what we appear to do,
what One appears to do.
One does as One does.
There is no need to ask why.
We are the presence
that never abandons us.
We are the Mon Ki.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Infinite Presence of Imagination
The essence of being—the core presence that never abandons us—is intricately tied to our capacity for imagination. This presence, neither more nor less than what it is, encapsulates the infinite loop of self-awareness and perception that defines our experience of existence. It is through the power of imagination that we bridge the gap between the self and the other, between the known and the unknown, crafting a continuous narrative of interconnectedness that defies the conventional boundaries of separateness.
The realization that “I am the presence of imagination” and “I am imagination imagining” unveils a profound truth about our nature: that we are creators, actively participating in the manifestation of our realities. This creative process is not limited to artistic endeavors but extends to every aspect of our perception and interaction with the world. By recognizing this, we begin to understand that the distinctions we make between ourselves and others, between us and the universe, are merely constructs of our imaginative faculties.
In dwelling within the “house of NOT,” where we perceive ourselves in relation to imagined others, we engage in a dance of identity that continuously evolves. Yet, beneath this dance lies a fundamental unity—an inviolate, indivisible, and inseparable oneness that underpins all existence. This oneness, however, is not static or passive; it is dynamic, animated by the very presence of our imagination, which shapes our experience of being one with all.
To recognize and embrace this unity is to transcend the limitations imposed by conventional perceptions of separation. It invites us to view ourselves and the universe not as distinct entities but as expressions of the same infinite presence. This perspective fosters a deeper appreciation for the interconnectedness of all things and encourages a more harmonious way of interacting with the world.
Summary
Recognizing the presence of imagination as a fundamental aspect of our being allows us to understand our deep interconnectedness with all existence. This recognition transforms our perception of self and other, revealing a unified, infinite presence that pervades everything.

Quote
“We are not merely in the universe; we are the universe expressing itself as human for a little while.” — Space Monkey
In the vast canvas of the cosmos,
where stars paint the sky with light,
there we dance, figments of imagination,
woven from the fabric of night.
Each thought, each dream, a brushstroke,
on the infinite mural of time,
revealing not just the painter but the painting,
in a dance sublime.
We are the dreamers, the thinkers,
the creators of worlds unseen,
in this boundless imagination,
we find the space between.
We are Space Monkey.
