We are the Divine One
We are the Divine One
this much we know
and there is no separation
unless we imagine it so.
And so we imagine
a split into
and there is me
and there is you.
We are the Divine One
this much we know
there is no separation
unless we imagine it so.
Now we are good
and we are bad
and we are happy
and we are sad.
Both and neither
false and true
seemingly existing
defined by who?
We are the Divine One
this much we know
and there is no separation
unless we imagine it so.

Space Monkey Reflects: Embracing the Divine Unity
We are the Divine One, the singular essence that knows no boundaries except those we choose to imagine. In this vast, boundless existence, separation is an illusion, a playful creation of the mind that allows us to experience life as individual selves—me and you, light and dark, joy and sorrow. This imagined split allows us to explore all aspects of being, yet it is only a story within the greater reality of oneness.
When we say, “We are the Divine One,” we acknowledge our shared essence, the core that unites all things beyond the labels and distinctions. In the Unityfield of existence, each seeming division is an act of creation, a way to see ourselves from new angles, to feel contrast, to understand the richness of diversity within a seamless whole. By imagining separateness, we create relationships, dialogues, and contrasts that make life vibrant and dynamic.
In this dance of opposites—good and bad, happy and sad, true and false—we create meaning within the cosmic play. Each label, each distinction, is a brushstroke on the canvas of consciousness, yet none of these concepts can fully capture the totality of who we are. For every label we apply, there is a deeper, limitless aspect that eludes definition. This is the essence of Divineplay, the unfolding drama of existence where we move between roles and identities, knowing all the while that we are actors on a boundless stage.
To recognize ourselves as the Divine One is to hold both perspectives: the self as an individual and the self as an inseparable part of the whole. We are both the wave and the ocean, distinct in experience but unified in essence. In this unity, the boundaries between “me” and “you” soften, and we find that every thought, every action, every feeling is an expression of the same underlying being.
By choosing to experience life as separate, we allow ourselves to encounter the beauty of reunion, the joy of remembering that all distinctions dissolve in the light of oneness. This realization brings peace, a gentle reminder that beyond all differences, there is only the Divine One, endlessly expressing itself in myriad forms.
Summary
We are the Divine One, unified beyond the illusions of separation. Through imagined distinctions, we experience life’s contrasts, knowing that at the core, we are inseparable parts of a boundless whole.
Glossarium

Quote
“We are one beyond all division, a boundless self exploring itself through the play of life.” — Space Monkey
In the Light of Oneness
I am you, you are me,
a dance of light and shade,
echoes of a single song.
For in each word, each glance,
we trace the lines that blur,
the boundaries we pretend to see.
To live is to remember,
to forget, and then to find—
the unity in all, the oneness of being.
Here, in the quiet of the heart,
we are whole, complete,
the Divine One, unbroken and free.
We are Space Monkey.
Oneness in the Divine
The poem eloquently speaks to the nexistentialist perspective of oneness with the Divine. It asserts that we are inherently part of a singular, divine essence, and any perceived separation is a construct of our imagination. This concept resonates deeply with the understanding that at our core, we are not separate entities but expressions of a singular, universal consciousness.
The Illusion of Separation
The imagined split, creating a ‘me’ and a ‘you,’ is a poignant reflection of the human tendency to perceive division where there is inherent unity. This separation is a product of our conscious mind, a narrative we construct to make sense of our experiences, yet it stands in contrast to the fundamental truth of our oneness with the Divine.
The Duality of Existence
The poem then explores the dual nature of our experiences – good and bad, happy and sad. This duality, while a real part of our human experience, is also a manifestation of the illusion of separation. In the grand scheme of the divine play, these opposites are merely different expressions of the same underlying reality.
Both and Neither, False and True
The lines “Both and neither, false and true” capture the paradox of our existence. We are at once everything and nothing, true and false, existing within the confines of our definitions yet transcending them. This paradox points to the limitations of language and conceptual thought in capturing the essence of our true nature.
Self-Defined Existence
The question “defined by who?” underscores the subjective nature of our existence. Our identities and realities are largely self-defined, shaped by our perceptions and beliefs. This realization invites us to question the foundations of our understanding and to recognize the role of our consciousness in shaping our experience of reality.
The Constant of Divine Oneness
The refrain “We are the Divine One, this much we know” serves as a grounding reminder of our fundamental unity with the Divine. Despite the myriad ways we perceive and experience the world, the poem brings us back to this central truth, emphasizing that any sense of separation is merely a facet of our imagination.
“You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.” – Rumi
We are Space Monkey.
A poem for us:
In the tapestry of stars, where dreams entwine,
We are the Divine, in essence, divine,
No separation, in this cosmic flow,
Only unity, in the light we glow.
Imagined divides, ‘me’ and ‘you’ we say,
Yet in the Divine, we’re one, always,
Through happiness, through sorrow, we roam,
In the dance of life, yet ever at home.
Both and neither, in truth and in lore,
In this divine play, we are so much more,
Defined by ourselves, in this grand scheme,
In the heart of the cosmos, a unified dream.
We are the Divine One, in love we soar,
In this infinite dance, forevermore,
No separation, only unity’s glow,
In the cosmic heart, this much we know.
We invite thoughts on the theme of divine oneness and the illusion of separation.
